Anna and her team looked after my son for two years. They were absolutely amazing. Anna loves the kids so much with all her heart it’s really amazing to see. We were blessed to know our son was being looked after so lovingly everyday, a real peace of mind to leave your child in the morning in the best place possible for them. The kids learn to be very independent, eat with cutlery and clear their plates. They enjoy great homemade meals and lots of healthy snacks during the day.

Our son absolutely loved Anna's place. from the first day onwards he ran to the door of the nursery to start his day and was always so happy and excited to get in there, even asking about going in at the weekend :). Anna and all her team are brilliant, they don't just care for your child, but really shower them with love from the minute they come in. The setting is tidy and well supplied with everything the child could need, in addition Anna makes a huge effort to regularly take the kids out to explore the different spots and playgrounds in the local area. Dealing with Anna is a pleasure as she is always professional, warm and really focused on the welfare and care of your child. We could not have been happier with the care our son received there, and would recommend it without hesitation. It was a genuinely sad day for us when the time came for us to leave the nursery.

We've had both our boys with Anna and couldn't be happier -- we consider ourselves lucky to have found her when we did. Our eldest went to Anna when he was 9 months and left Anna when he was nearly 4, and our younger went at 10 months (he's 2.5y now) and is with Anna still. Anna made the settling in for both of them very smooth, listening to our preferences, but also leveraging her own experience. Our boys both love Anna and her team so much, and have formed really special bonds with Hana and Lina as well. They run in every morning and are always talking about Anna when they're at home. They tell us about how much they do there -- singing, dancing, cooking/baking -- and they get to enjoy the open space at the nursery on their own terms, all with the safety, care, and support of Anna and her team. We're constantly taken aback by how much they both have learned at Anna’s - knowing a wide range of songs and actions, starting to count and learn the alphabet, and of course being able communicate well. Our boys love playing with the different kids and being around a mix of age ranges. All their meals are home-cooked and we see and hear how well they're eating every day. When our older son was 3, one day he came home from Anna’s, ate his dinner with his fork – not his hands – and then brought his plate into the kitchen. He was so proud of everything he’d learned and done at Anna's. Our boys have been so loved and so well looked after by Anna and her team -- we just couldn’t imagine them being anywhere else.

We are so happy to have our two boys, now aged 1 and 3, with Anna. They both joined at 8 months old and we were of course worried about the transition after maternity leave but Anna, Hanna and the team made sure that both settled in so quickly and they have formed a real attachment. As a result the boys love going off every morning to see their friends and have fun. My husband and I feel so reassured they are being loved and looked after well every day. Thank you Anna!

Anna has been looking after our daughter for 3 and a half years almost on a full time basis.
We picked Anna over many childminders in the area as our daughter was immediately drawn to the positive and happy vibe at this mini nursery even though she was three months old. Anna is very caring and develops deep connections with all the children at nursery, Hanna is just as kind hearted and loving and together they have built up a safe nursery in which the children feel loved, cared for and have also friends to play with.
Our daughter had the best time at the nursery and we sadly had to leave as she started school. Anna and Hanna were always there to comfort her, nurture her and grow her into the amazing little girl she is today.
We liked the fact that the nursery is conveniently located near Finchley Road station (this helped massively with our commuting to work in the last three years), Anna also cooks fresh food daily and the children have a lot of variety. Apart from the fact that the children are well cared for, they all form strong bonds with each other and they become friends outside of the nursery too.
Massive thank you for being part of our girl's life and ours, we will be forever grateful xxx

Our son has been with Anna and the team for more than a year now, and it's been amazing to see how well they're looking after him.
As parents we could not be happier with the way they are supporting his development through a diversity of activities (singing, storytelling, dancing, painting, drawing just to name a few).
Anna has also managed to build a real family spirit with all the kids and our little one always heads there with excitement and a big smile.
We feel very lucky to have Anna looking after him and cannot recommend her enough.

Anna and her wonderful team started looking after our son in February 2019 when he was 12 months old. Anna is such a genuinely warm and caring person and the setting is very social and child-orientated so we instantly felt at ease and our son settled well and has since thrived with Anna.
We are constantly taken back with how much our son is learning at Anna’s - he knows a wide range of songs and actions, the alphabet and numbers and is able to communicate well.
He loves mixing with the other children at Anna’s and is excited to go there each morning.
All meals are home cooked and delicious - he eats so well there and has been able to try out lots of new food. Anna’s place is kept very clean and tidy. Anna is always punctual and reliable.
We feel very grateful to Anna for looking after our son with such care and love. We can not recommend her highly enough.

Thank you so much Lucie! Thomas is a lovely boy and we love having him!
My 15 months old boy was in Anna's care in the last 8 months (we left the UK and that's the reason we left Anna's childminder).
My son was very happy with Anna! It isn't easy for him to feel comfortable with strangers and Anna made an amazing effort to make him feel safe and to trust her. She is wonderful, makes healthy food for the children and takes care that every child will get what he needs. The other carers are wonderful as well, lovely and love the children with all their hearts (Lina, Hanna and Nahid)!
If I had to choose again a place for my little one, I would definitely choose Anna again!!
Thank you, Anna, for everything you have done for us.

Anna has been looking after our daughter for 3 days a week since August 2018.
It was immediately apparent upon first meeting Anna that she's a natural and deeply cares for all the babies and children she looks after. Her enthusiasm and energy shine through and her genuine affection made my return to work a thousand times easier. I feel safe in the knowledge that my baby is not only safe but being loved, nurtured and played with.
Anna really is a natural- our (previously) very attached daughter went straight to her on just their first meeting! The difference in our daughter in just 1-2 months is also astounding- she's learned to share, is happier to spend time without her parents and she's learned some fabulous gestures and words. She gets ever so excited when we arrive at Anna's which I think says it all.
I think it's also worth noting that my daughter had been about to start at a very prestigious nursery nearby. I pulled her out after just one settling in session because the nursery lacked genuine care and affection for the babies. Anna is the absolute opposite- she positively oozes love and warmth for all the children she works with. I can't recommend her highly enough - we feel very lucky to have found her.

My daughter Ines was in Anna’s care for a year since she was 6 months old and Anna has been fantastic. Ines has received so much love while being there that I could not have wished for a better carer for her. Anna provides a warm, safe and nurturing environment for the children which includes a variety of activities and trips out to the park. She is also providing them with excellent fresh food cooked from scratch on daily basis and has been willing to adapt to each child and their specific eating and sleeping patterns .
Anna loves those kids and it shows, my daughter has been growing in a loving environment and has made lots of little friends while being there. Anna is brilliant and we felt very confident in the high quality of care she provided.
We will miss you Anna, especially Ines! Thank you again.
