Anna looked after my daughter for over a year, until we moved away from the area, and I still miss her.
She gave the children a proper early years education. There was a different topic every week and my daughter always came home with something new to tell me. Teeth brushing week was a big one. She took it very seriously and was so proud of herself.
There was always something to do as well. Soft play, playgrounds, long walks, farms (Sacrewell was her favourite) and plenty of time around nature and animals. My daughter was always excited to go and never once didn't want to.
She came on so much in confidence and in how she plays with other children while she was there. Anna also got us through potty training, and handwashing is still taken extremely seriously in our house.
It's hard knowing who to trust with your little one, and I never had to think twice with Anna. If I could have packed her up and brought her with us when we moved, I would have.

I cannot recommend my childminder highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly supportive, caring, and dedicated to providing the very best environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive.
Every day is thoughtfully planned with a wonderful variety of creative, educational, and engaging activities. The children enjoy different exercises and active play each day, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and entertained. She regularly organises trips to farms, local parks, playgrounds, and soft play centres, as well as nature walks where the children can discover wildlife, animals, and the changing seasons. During the summer, she provides fantastic water play activities that are both fun and developmentally beneficial.
Her knowledge and understanding of toddlers is outstanding. She communicates exceptionally well with both children and parents, always keeping me informed about my child day and progress. She has a natural ability to connect with young children, helping them feel safe, confident, and valued.
The learning opportunities she provides are truly exceptional. Through fun, hands-on activities, role play, music sessions, and stimulating games, she teaches children colours, shapes, numbers, letters, and early problem-solving skills. She encourages creativity, imagination, and independent thinking while making learning enjoyable every single day.
What has impressed me most is how well she prepares children for starting Reception. She thoughtfully incorporates activities that develop school readiness, including listening skills, following instructions, early literacy and numeracy, social interaction, confidence, independence, and emotional development. It is clear that she understands exactly what children need to make a smooth and successful transition into school.
Her professionalism, warmth, creativity, and genuine passion for childcare shine through in everything she does. I am incredibly grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she has shown my child, and I feel very fortunate to have had her as such an important part of my child's early years. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional childminder.
