About Me
Hello, my name is Anna and I am a registered childminder based in Woodlands, Doncaster.
I provide a warm, homely and safe environment where children can feel happy, secure and ready to grow. I believe play is the best way to learn – I saw this with my own daughter, who learned the basics of English through play before moving on to a childminder and then nursery, and I believe play helps children of all ages to learn and grow.
Every child in my care is treated as an individual, with their own interests and personality. Through activities like arts and crafts, stories, singing, games and plenty of outdoor play, children can use their imagination, make friends, and develop the confidence they need for the next steps in life. We also enjoy local playgroups and small trips, giving children new experiences in a safe and exciting way.
My aim is simple – to care for each child with kindness and love, just as I would my own, and to give them a happy start that parents can feel confident about.
My Experience
I have over two years of experience working as a childminding assistant, where I supported two childminders and learned a lot from them. This role gave me a strong foundation in caring for children of different ages, building routines, planning activities and creating a safe and happy environment. After gaining this experience, I now feel ready to open my own setting as a registered childminder. As a mum to a 5-year-old girl, I also understand the parent’s perspective and how important it is to find a place where children feel secure, valued and able to learn through play.
My Qualifications
I have over two years of experience working as a childminding assistant, which gave me valuable experience and the confidence to open my own setting. I hold an enhanced DBS check and Paediatric First Aid training, and I place great importance on safeguarding and keeping children safe at all times. At the same time, I believe childhood should be full of fun, play and good memories, so I do my best to give children plenty of opportunities to enjoy themselves while learning and growing. I have also completed other courses to improve my practice, and I am always happy to show my certificates to parents who would like to see them. I am committed to keeping my skills up to date so that children in my care always have the best support
My Availability
I currently work Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, and at the moment all of my places are full. From January, I will have two spaces available for after-school pick-ups between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. I can cover children attending St Joseph & St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School, Woodlands Primary or Adwick Primary. As I am not able to manage all schools at the same time, availability will depend on which families book first.
I keep my profile updated regularly, so if a space becomes available during the week I will post it here. Parents are also very welcome to message me at any time with questions or to check availability, and I will be happy to help.

My Fees
- Childminding from £6.00 per hour
I keep my fees simple, with two options for families:
£6 per hour – my standard rate for childcare, including all meals, snacks and resources for activities. I also accept funded children, so funded hours are never a problem for families.
£8 per hour – for wraparound care (before and/or after school). This includes school drop-off and pick-up by car, as well as meals and resources. There are no additional costs.
During school holidays, I also offer full childcare at the standard rate of £6 per hour, giving children a safe and happy place to spend their day.
If you have any questions or would like to check availability, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am always happy to chat about your child’s needs and how I can support your family.
