About Me
Welcome to HappySpace Academy in Raynes Park (SW20) – a warm, nurturing home-from-home where little ones feel safe, happy, and inspired to learn.
Hello, my name is Anisha and I am a Tiney-registered childminder, regulated and inspected by Ofsted, with a genuine passion for caring for and supporting young children in their early years. I am also a parent to two children who attend Joseph Hood Primary School, which gives me a strong understanding of how important consistent, loving care and strong partnerships with parents are.
I provide a safe, welcoming, and homely environment with a dedicated play area where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and reach their developmental milestones at their own pace. I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and carefully plan age-appropriate activities that support each child’s learning and development, while respecting their individual interests and abilities.
I place great importance on healthy eating and good nutrition. All meals are freshly prepared on the day using nutritious ingredients, and I offer a dedicated weaning menu tailored to babies who are beginning their food journey. Individual dietary needs and preferences are always carefully considered to support children’s wellbeing and development.
Fresh air and outdoor experiences are a key part of our daily routine. Babies and toddlers enjoy regular visits to the wonderful large park just across the road from my setting, as well as walks around the local area. I also take children to local baby and toddler playgroups, where they can enjoy a variety of activities, socialise with others, and build confidence in new environments.
At home, children benefit from plenty of story time, singing songs, and nursery rhymes, helping to develop early language, listening skills, and a love for books and music.
My aim is for every child to feel happy, secure, and truly loved , a genuine home away from home. I offer school drop-offs and pick-ups and work closely with parents to ensure every child’s individual needs are met.
Please feel free to get in touch if you would like more information or to arrange a visit.
I would be delighted to welcome you and your child to HappySpace Academy.
My Experience

Being a mother has given me hands-on, practical experience in caring for young children from birth through to school age. I have developed a strong understanding of children’s routines, emotional needs and developmental stages, including feeding, sleep, play, and supporting learning through everyday experiences. Parenting has also helped me build patience, empathy and strong communication skills, allowing me to respond calmly and confidently to children’s individual needs while creating a nurturing and secure environment where they can thrive.

I would highly recommend Anisha as a childminder. My daughter always enjoys spending time with Anisha and her family and is always happy to go there after school.
My daughter can be quite particular about who she feels comfortable with, so as a parent, I always worry about whether she'll settle in and enjoy herself. That's why it means so much to me to see how happy and comfortable she is with Anisha and her family. She always comes home with a smile and tells me about the fun she's had.
Anisha is kind, caring, and trustworthy, and she provides a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for children. Knowing that my daughter is so happy and well looked after gives me real peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anisha to any family looking for a wonderful childminder.

Anisha is a very kind and friendly mum of two who collects my son from school. She has a lovely family and my son loves going to her house to play with her children and try different activities there. My son has severe allergies and she has been brilliant at taking care of him and providing food that is safe for him. She is very accommodating and has helped us out when we needed extra hours. Highly recommend!

Happy Space Academy has been absolutely amazing in looking after my 14-month-old daughter, Saige. From the moment she started, we’ve felt completely at ease knowing she is in such a caring and supportive environment.
Anisha is fantastic with the children so warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what she does.
What really stands out is how comfortable and happy Saige is there. She’s always excited to go, which says everything as a parent. It’s also lovely to see how the other children interact with her, showing kindness and helping guide her as she learns and grows.
I couldn’t ask for a better place for my daughter. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for their child.

I’ve left my niece and nephew with Anisha several times, and every time I go to pick them up, they’re absolutely glowing with joy and excitement, often asking if they can stay a bit longer! What really stands out to me is that beyond engaging them in fun and educational activities, Anisha also gently encourages good manners and positive habits, like tidying up after playtime and showing respect when interacting with both their peers and adults. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anisha to any parent looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and truly attentive to their children’s wellbeing

Anisha is lovely and has looked after both my 4 year old son and 8 year old daughter, ensuring a happy, safe environment, which is clean, tidy and very homely. My children have always come home with big smiles on their faces and happy stories to tell about their time with Anisha. I feel relaxed in the knowledge that my children are being cared for by Anisha and wouldn’t go to anybody else to look after them!

Anisha took great care of our little girl! She is really kind and gentle, you can clearly see she loves children, and children love her! My daughter had so much fun. Anisha set her house up to accommodate the children and make it have everything a child could want or need. I would 100% recommend Anisha to look after anyones child.
Anisha has a very nice outdoor space where children can play as well, which is a bonus!

Anisha is one of the best Childminders I have used. Her provision is safe and secure and she goes above and beyond in looking after the children in her care. I have a son who is on the Autism Spectrum and has been going to stay with Anisha for a number of years. He only goes to her as he feels safe and happy with her compared to other providers .
Anisha provides healthy choices of meals and always take the children outdoors weather permitting so they get their daily dosage of exercise . My son always seems very happy and full of life when he comes back home from Happy Space Academy.
