We cannot recommend Ryan & Anja highly enough. They are such wonderful, kind people and provided an incredibly nurturing environment for our son.

We loved that our son wasn't spending his days in a single room, but instead in a beautiful warm home complete with pets, a garden, a kitchen and an upstairs space to sleep in. We also loved that he had regular outings, often daily, to explore the world around him. This included local toddler groups, playgrounds, errands to the shops and even trips to the zoo! We also loved that compared to a nursery he was in a smaller group of children and could form genuine bonds with them, playing together and enjoying crafts, books and songs.

Ryan & Anja's communication was excellent and it brought massive smiles to our faces to see photos of the adventures our son was getting up to throughout the day. We loved reading the diary entries in the evenings, including funny anecdotes that helped us feel part of his day. Ryan & Anja were also incredibly understanding when our job situation changed and we had to stop using their services earlier than originally planned. One of our genuine biggest sadnesses about leaving London is that our son won't get longer with Ryan & Anja! They are a fantastic team, and if anyone is looking for a childminder, they don't need to think twice before choosing HGLA.
