My Summary
About Me
Welcome to profile!
I'm Tri, though most know me as Ani, and I offer childcare services in Hitchin. Conveniently situated just a 15-minute walk from both the train station and Hitchin Town Centre, my home is ideal for commuting parents. Additionally, we are located near Strathmore and Our Lady’s school, making it convenient for those who have children attending these schools, as well as a lovely park located behind our house allowing a convenient and secure space for outdoor play. Furthermore, our premises offer easily accessible parking, ensuring smooth and safe drop-offs and pickups for parents.
We have a spacious garden and ample indoor areas to keep children engaged. Each child is provided with a designated space for nap time, complete with a travel cot to ensure comfort. I'm passionate about providing nutritious, home-cooked meals and frequently engage children in outdoor activities such as park visits and nature walks, weather permitting. Following an inspection by Ofsted in November 2018, we received a Good report.
As a friendly and compassionate childminder, I believe in fair discipline and clear rules. With two daughters of my own, aged 21 and 15, I understand the importance of a nurturing environment.
Additionally, that my 21-year-old daughter, who recently graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of Birmingham, will be embarking on this journey with me. Drawing from her academic background, she is eager to contribute her knowledge and passion to our childcare venture. Together, we are committed to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for the children in our care, blending her knowledge with my years of practical experience to ensure a well-rounded and supportive childcare experience.
To further enhance our knowledge to support the children’s my daughter currently earning qualification in Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Workforce (Early Years Educator).
I'm registered for 2, 3, and 4-year-old funding, and I'm more than happy to provide references upon request.
If you're interested or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Warm regards,
Ani

Our daughter has been going to Ani since she was 5 months old and is still there aged over 2 years. She absolutely loves it at Ani’s and always looks forward to going. Ani is brilliant. She has a lovely set up for kids, cooks delicious food for them and provides them with lots of activities throughout the day.
We have another baby on the way and we definitely want him to go to Ani’s when he’s older.

Thank you so much Maria 😊
My first daughter attended Ani’s for a year and a half and loved it, and the friends she made there, so it was an easy decision for us to send our second. Ani took a very caring approach to her settling in and now she goes running in at drop off without looking back. We really appreciate that she has always slept and ate very well at Ani’s which means she always comes home happy, and the photo updates I get from Ani reassure me that she is very well looked after. I recommend Ani to all my friends with kids.

Thank you so much for a lovely recommendation, i enjoyed looking after both of them. They are such lovely girls.
Our son has been with Ani since he was 14 months old and he loves it. Ani and her daughter really care for our son and look after him incredibly well. The daily meals he receives are really healthy with lots of variety. He engages in lots of free play with the other children both indoors and outdoors. Ani organises trips out to the local parks, the museum and library. She keeps us up to date with messages and photos throughout the week and a daily handover is received on collection. I would highly recommend Ani.

Our two kids (currently ages 4 and 21 months) have gone to Ani since they were 8 and 7 months old, respectively. We couldn’t have imagined a more positive experience. Especially when they were small and making big changes (solid foods, potty training, dropping naps) Ani has been incredibly supportive and patient. Both kids have always been happy at dropoff and full of stories about things they did and friends they played with during the day. Having watched our older child transition to preschool, it’s really clear how well their time at Ani’s set them up to make the move confidently.

My daughter has been going to Ani's since she was 10 months old (she's now just over 2) and we have been so happy with our experience. Our daughter absolutely loves the days she goes to Ani and we really love that she's in a home setting, being fed delicious meals and that she has lots of variety in her day whether that be playing educational games or leaving the house to go feed the ducks. Would highly recommend!
