My Summary
About Me
I am Ana Guilor, Ofsted registered childminder graded 'outstanding' in August 2015, mother of two and new grandmother.
I became a childminder when I moved to Beckenham and had my daughters who are now registered as my assistants. We have always been a very close family, and my home setting offers a loving and caring environment for the children I mind. It has been adapted over the last 20 years to become the ideal setting for children, with a fully equipped playroom and garden specially designed for children of all ages.
My setting is ideally located next to Clare House Primary School, in a residential area close to Kelsey Park. I offer childminding services from 7:30am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday that includes school drop-offs/ pick-ups from Clare House, St. Christopher's The Hall Independent Preparatory (Prep) School and Beckenham Montessori. I am registered to care for 6 children under 8 years old, of which up to 3 can be under 5 years old and 1 under 1 year old.
My care provides the children I mind with:
- a wide and varied range of experiences with trips to local parks, farms, libraries, leisure centers and playgroups;
- the best start to their education fully preparing them for primary school level learning; and
- a healthy and balanced lifestyle where they enjoy healthy meals and active play.
My Experience
I have over 20 years of experience as a registered childminder during which time I have cared for children of all ages, with a range of needs, from many backgrounds and cultures. I have always worked closely with parents and other childcare providers to ensure that the children I mind receive the best care and individual attention.
My Qualifications
NVQ level 3 Childcare and Education
Paediatric First Aid and First Aid at work
I regularly attend Early Years and Ofsted approved courses to ensure that my training is constantly updated in order that I continue to provide the highest standard of care for the children I mind.

Below are the latest reviews for Ana. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Ana took our daughter under her care from October 2020, when she was nearly a year old till she was 4 years old. We have been impressed and pleased with how far the development of our daughter has come over those years under Ana’s care. Ana has shown us to be diligent, caring and highly professional in her role as our child minder. She has given us so much support, advice and guidance over the years in giving our daughter the best possible care which we are so grateful for. Her childminding set up really feels like home away from home and we were fortunate that our daughter was able to grow up and spend her early years with Ana’s delightful young grandchildren. It has been a lovely period of time for my daughter and we will always be thankful to Ana for all her help and support over those years.

Ana started caring for our first son when he was 11 months’ old in 2010, and then our younger son joined them approximately two and a half years later.
We don’t have family close by who could help with childcare but Ana felt like the next best alternative - warm, caring, nurturing care in a comfy home environment. The energy and effort that Ana managed to put into all aspects of her provision was incredible. From the activities that she organised inside and outside her home, the food she cooked, the way she managed the children when they were together. It was all fantastic. We’re certain that Ana positively influenced how our boys learned to behave and socialise, which they then took forward into school and co-curricular settings.
Our sons remained with Ana until 2017 when I took a career break. The boys were so sad not to be seeing her every day but we remain firm friends.

Ana is such an amazing childminder! My daughter has joined Ana's family after a really taught first year at nursery and it was the best decision ever. She's been so caring and kind to our child, we soon became so close with her - almost as Ana was part of our family too. Our daughter has learned so much while she's been coming to Ana's home. And it was so hard to say goodbye, tears were running down our faces. I must say that anyone who'll have a chance to meet Ana and her family, will be luckiest people in the world! I'll be forever grateful for having this opportunity.

We met Ana when she began looking after my then one year old son back in 2016. She welcomes you and your children into her home and her heart and provides a wonderfully kind and safe place for your little one to grow and develop. She cared for both of my children until they were ready to go to 'big school' and there were tears when we had to say goodbye. I can not recommend Ana enough, my kids (and I) miss her every day
