My Summary
Leaping Bunny Childcare
About Me
I am very passionate about providing a calm & nurturing home from home environment for children to have space to learn, develop and explore at their own pace with their own personal interests.
My aim is to make the transition as comfortable as possible for each child and family. This Is to ensure a good foundation is made for a professional relationship and partnership.
I therefore offer complementary settling in sessions leading up to your child's start date, as many or as little as they need.
I believe in a child centred learning environment that prioritises every childs individual interests, needs and learning pace.
I ensure each child is supported in nurturing their academic, practical, creative, moral and social abilities through age appropriate hands on opportunities as well as a mixture of open and closed ended play to foster a unique, confident, emotionally intelligent and balanced individual.
Each theme is created from a mixture of resources, half of which Is creative based to encourage individuality and imagination which are the foundation to developing socially, empathicly as well as the bases for pre- numeracy and pre-literacy. The other half are made from multiple closed ended learning resources with a specific teaching goal in mind.
Children are encouraged to become independent in their own wellbeing as well as in big helper activities. The mixed ages are an essential part for little ones to learn and develop from their older peers, and the older children to practice patience and leadership with their younger peers.
The childrens development and learning are monitored in line with the EYFS to ensure they are reaching their individual potential.

Anya was so good with my daughter, it’s so hard leaving your child at first but Anya made me feel very comfortable and it didn’t take long at all for my daughter to be settled with her. I no longer need Anya’s services but im really glad we met her and our time with her was very pleasant. Would definitely recommend!!

Our two-year-old girl made a huge progress in just one month with their help, with a lot of patience and care... Our girl was not sociable and cried too much now it is unrecognizable.

When our baby Jot first came to Anya at, she was very unsettled but the excellent setting which involved play toys, water play and extensive activities, all helped Jot to be happy at last!
We are really grateful for Anya's calm personality, patience and professionalism as Jot was a difficult, clingy baby to manage.
She has been with Anya for almost 3 months and I would recommend this setting for helping us with our anxiety in getting Jot to settle.
Anya kindly offered daily settling in sessions to help Jot along and she happily, eats, sleeps and plays.
I would recommend this childcare setting all day long, without any hesitation at all.
I love the fact that we receive daily updates and photos of how she is doing too.
Thank you so much Anya ; you really are amazing x

I could not recommend Anya and Andras enough! We struggled to find a childminder who was flexible and could fit our needs and these two are simply amazing!
Our little boy absolutely loves his time at Leaping Bunny!

Anya and Andras have been a great help for us from day one.
They have managed to achieve the impossible and keep our 4 year old daughter happy for 5 hours from the first day, now twice a week.
Both previous nurseries that she and her 3 year old brother attended have failed to make her stay for more than a couple of hours before she would cry for mommy.
We , as parents love the fact that we are able to receive daily updates and photos a written detailed record of what Maria and Danny have done that day and also an in-depth conversation at pick up if needed.
We know that Anya and Andras are also providing healthy snacks such as fruit throughout the day and a nice vegan lunch.
They also ensure that the children are encouraged to keep a good personal hygiene by making sure that they are washing their hands before eating and after using the toilet.
The whole setup is very clean and well organized.
The outdoor facilities are great and offer a good variety of activities and toys.
There is also the added benefit that the kids are taken by Anya and Andras from time to time to Anya’s mom, which is a long time established childminder. She has a larger setup and our kids can make new friends and spend the day in a different environment.
Also, thank you very much for the wonderful welcome presents that Danny and Maria received from you- the personalized bunnies with the kids name written on them are lovely.
We can honestly say that we couldn’t ask for more.

My son's first childminder and she made it the process very easy and comfortable and he got settled in one week. He was 19 months old when he started going to her and I was very worried about him as he hasn’t been to any nursary or to childminder.He is always happy to go there and I knew he is in good hands. I've had daily updates on his food, sleep and nappy changes. The house was very clean and my son loved variety of toys.
