My Summary
Anna Hamilton
About Me
We are Anna and Andy Hamilton, husband and wife childminders.
Meet Anna
I graduated at University MSc, BSc in Environmental Engineering, I have teaching qualifications up to University Degree.
I have been working with children for over 25 years. Childminding in Bournemouth for 15 years. I am also a part of Volunteer Community Support Group with Rotary Club.
I started with running 'Wriggle and rhymes' musical groups in Polish /Spanish /English languages and also parents support groups along with being a dedicated mother and wife. I was even a volunteer Polish Liaison Officer for the local Fire Brigade at the same time.
I was awarded 'CHILDMINDER OF THE YEAR'
'PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR'
'TRAILBLAZING WOMEN OF IMPACT'
After my working day with children under 5's, I am a volunteer water instructor at Bournemouth Sea Cadets teaching children life skills on paddle sports like kayaking, paddle boards and sailing...
At weekends I work as a qualified teacher at Saturday Polish School preparing teenagers to their national GCSE exam in Polish Language.
I have a huge passion about children and children's development and being fluent in several languages I can support EAL PARENTS to understand British Education System and British Values.
Meet Andy
I have been my wife's child minding assistant for 11 years, I have also been a Cub and Scout leader for over 35 years, leading and teaching all ages of youth in outdoor adventure, first aid, camping, climbing, shooting, archery, survival including bush craft... and much much more.
My previous work was as a Housing Officer looking after homeless and difficult addictions clientele, Counsellor, Psycho-spiritual counsellor,Teacher of English in Poland and in England, although I graduated in Various other Areas including electronic engineering, Advice and guidance counselling and lots of alternative therapy fields.
I love working with children and after having 4 of our own, I understand many of the difficulties of being a patient and loving parent and helping children to progress and grow mentally, spiritually and progressively.
I love music and play piano, woodwind, drums and brass but, jazz piano is my speciality. I teach music in my spare time to a variety of ages, young and old inclusive.
Also I am a keen DIY enthusiast and usually have my hands set to work to keep Anna happy...{lol}.

Anna has been an absolutely wonderful childminder for my son. She is incredibly lovely, caring, and enthusiastic, which is evident in the way she interacts with the children.
Every day is filled with a variety of activities that keep the kids engaged and excited. From walks and visits to the library to trips to the oceanarium, Anna ensures that the children are always learning and having fun.
One of the things I appreciate most is how she keeps me updated throughout the day. She regularly sends updates, pictures, and more, which provides great peace of mind and allows me to share in my son's experiences.
I highly recommend Anna to any parent looking for a dedicated and passionate childminder. She truly goes above and beyond in her care for the children.

I would like to thank Ania and Endi for the wonderful care of my daughter Maja. My daughter has been going there for 2 years. They organize a lot of trips for children and a lot of creative activities. I know that my daughter is well cared for and is happy there. I think I couldn't have made a better choice. Ania and Endi are wonderful teachers with extensive knowledge and experience.

I absoultley loved the form of the development in the setting: exploring the nature, all the trips to so many different places: beach, forest, playgroud, local areas, allotments, fruit and vegetables farms any many more...
If you thinking about choosing The Best Childminder in the town - I can highly recommend Anna and Andy Youngsta Care.❤️

Absolutely amazing place where children are well looked after, always busy and engaged in various activities. Youngsta provides a safe and friendly environment with plenty of opportunities for children to develop, up their skills to the next level as well as to learn new.
We especially enjoy the outdoor adventure trips, where children are encouraged to explore and play with their friends.
Well done Youngsta

Youngsta provides superb childcare. Andy and Anna support children's development via means of music (Andy plays the piano) , games and engaging trips.
Children have a chance to learn how to move to the rhythm, sing, acquire basic Spanish vocabulary, explore different habitats, learn first letters and numbers.
All of the above in a safe and friendly environment.
I would strongly recommend Youngsta.

I am very pleased with all Ania did with my daughters during holiday. She is very caring and understanding. She knows how children develop and she gives them a chance to experiment and discover in friendly and safe environment.

I Recommend Youngsta childcare as provider my two daughters. They always came back to home happy and enjoyed. Anna and Andy always keep kids busy and happy indoor and outdoor play. They are going with kids for many trips to parks, playgrounds, farm, forest, which my daughters loved it. Also they have a lot of indoor activities like singing, learning Spanish, dancing, learning letters. Andy is playing on piano while kids singing and dancing, this is amazing.
My daugthers really loved this childcare and they missed them so much.
