There are so many things that set Anna apart - Anna is truly a rare find in the world of childcare.
1. She is highly personable and approachable, to parents and children alike. She has a clear natural ability to interact with kids and make them feel safe and cared for. You get the sense that she really knows, and loves your child. She also has an ease about her that makes her a pleasure to interact with.
2. Her home is set up so children are a part of it vs separate from it. She truly integrates the kids in her care into her family, and she became an extension of ours in return.
3. Anna is out and about daily. Going out is not a treat - it's a norm, and the children thrive on the adventure, the outdoor time, and the socialisation in public places.
4. Her cooking is (apparently) fantastic. My little one never comes home hungry and eats a variety of fresh, real food.
5. Anna offers highly personalised and adaptable care. She accommodates the reality of frazzled working parents exceptionally well and is prepared for things like forgotten nappies, or waterproof gear - which is immensely helpful.
Anna became a huge part of our support network and "village" in the UK, and the impact she's had on my 'impossible to settle' son has been huge. He walks in happily and easily, and truly loves his time there.
The peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is happy and loved is unmatched with Anna.
I can't recommend her highly enough.

We feel so lucky to have found Anna. As first-time parents, leaving our daughter for the first time was a huge step for us, and naturally we had lots of worries and questions. From the very beginning, Anna made us feel completely reassured and supported. She took the time to get to know our daughter, understand her needs and help her settle in at her own pace, which made such a difference to us.
What means the most to us is knowing that our daughter is not only being looked after, but is genuinely loved, understood and encouraged while she is there. Anna puts so much care into everything she does and has created such a lovely environment where our daughter can grow, learn, have fun and simply be herself.
We have really valued having someone we can trust completely. Anna has always been so reassuring, positive and approachable, and has given us confidence throughout what has been such a big new chapter for us. She makes us feel comfortable asking questions and sharing any little worries, and we always know that our daughter is in safe, caring and capable hands. That peace of mind is something we honestly couldn’t put a price on.
Since starting with Anna, we have watched our daughter come on leaps and bounds. Her development, confidence and independence have grown so much, and it makes us incredibly proud to see. She absolutely loves going, and seeing her excitement when she knows she is going to Anna’s means the world to us. Knowing she is happy, settled and enjoying herself with friends makes leaving her so much easier.
Anna has become such an important part of our daughter’s early years, and we are so grateful for the love, patience and encouragement she gives her every day. We have complete trust in her and genuinely feel that we couldn’t have chosen a better person to care for our little girl.
We have every faith in Anna and couldn’t imagine our daughter being anywhere else. We would wholeheartedly recommend Anna to any family, especially other first-time parents who may have those same worries we had — she has given us the reassurance, trust and peace of mind that every parent hopes to have.

Anna is absolutely fabulous, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! Both of my children went to Anna, and they absolutely thrived in her care.
From the very beginning, Anna was so nurturing, caring and considerate. She has such a lovely, easy-going nature that makes both children and parents feel completely comfortable and at ease. She creates such a fun, happy and welcoming environment, while also making sure the children feel safe, supported and valued.
Both of my children loved their time with Anna and always came home happy, excited to tell me about their day and all the fun they had. It was lovely to see how much they grew in confidence and developed while in her care.
Anna genuinely cares about the children she looks after, and this shines through in everything she does. She is kind, patient, fun and incredibly thoughtful, and I always felt completely confident leaving my children with her.
I feel so lucky to have found Anna, and I'll always be incredibly grateful for the wonderful start she gave both of my children. We still bump into her regularly now, my children are now 10 and 6 and still they run over and give her a hug.
