Our 4 year old daughter (M) has been in Ann’s care since she was 6 months.
Choosing Ann as our childminder was one of the best decisions we have made in our life. It just felt natural from the time we first met her.
Beforehand I was always worried about the idea of leaving our daughter with somebody else, about how it would feel to trust somebody external to our family with her life. I have to say I have never been stressed while leaving her with Ann even at the beginning. M must have felt the same as she never cried when I was leaving in the morning.
Ann is great with the children. I have been able to see year after year how she looks after them, with the perfect balance of one-to-one attention and group activities. M loves her. She has for her the figure of an extra grand-mother.

Ann’s settings are perfect for children with a wide and full of toy play room and a great garden especially arranged for children’s needs. Ann makes sure their activities are varied, including play time and learning time at home, going to the library, toddler groups, walks, going to the park. It allows children to see different places and people, gain confidence and develop their personality.
I really like the fact that Ann always tells you what your child has been up on a daily basis but also in quarterly reports which are a delight to read. It is so nice to know what they do and how they progress!
Ann always makes sure that she is up to date with every aspects of childminding and keeps you informed of what is happening/changing.
In brief I would say that Ann is a great childminder, that if you are looking for a caring, trustful person to look after your child she is the one!
