My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Anna and I live in Shefford, Bedfordshire.
I have worked with children for the last 19 years professionally in local preschools and for the last 10 years childminding.
I have completed a number of diplomas (level 3nvq) including ‘Children and Young People’ and ‘Speech, Language and Communication’. This has complimented the experience I have gained from raising our four children.
I have completed all my childminding qualifications, first aid, food hygiene, safeguarding and will continue to complete on-going training to keep my skills up to date.
I love working with children and enjoy watching them learn and grow, my ethos is learning through play, I observe, then plan, then extend the child’s interests and combine the areas of learning to make it a fun, nourishing and enriching learning experience.

My 2 year has been with Anna since he was 11 months old. I already new Anna from her time at Pippins and Bramleys. When I had my son I knew I wanted Anna to look after him and was so utterly pleased when she had a space for him. Anna is such a kind, caring, nurturing person whom I trust entirely with my son. He settled in so well and really enjoys his time with Anna. Anna does so many different activities with the children and gets them involved in outdoor play. I highly recommend Anna.

Anna is a brilliant childminder - kind, creative and professional. She puts so much effort into creating a lovely environment for the children and planning lots of fun activities for them to do every day. She went above and beyond to help our little boy settle as it was the first time he'd been away from family for long, and always kept us updated on how he was doing. We always felt so welcome at her home.

R has been looked after by Anna since she was 9 months old. R is very settled and loves going to Anna. I first met Anna when she was my oldest child's key worker at preschool and it really feels like she is a part of our family; all 3 of my children love her! Anna is caring and professional and it makes leaving R so much easier knowing that she is being so well cared for.
