My Summary
About Me
My name is Anna Daly and I am an Ofsted registered childminder in Hockley. I am married to Paul & we have 4 children. I have a dedicated playroom in our home & a good size outdoor space for the children I care for.
My original background was administrative and I worked part time as an executive secretary whilst my older two children were growing up, so I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your children – after all, they are the most important part of your life.
After my younger two girls were born, I undertook my CACHE NVQ Level 2 Certificate for the Children and Young People’s Workforce and then followed that up with my CACHE NVQ Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People’s Workforce . During this time and until July 2016 I was employed as a key worker at a popular local pre-school which I found incredibly fun and rewarding, but I was driven by my enthusiasm and passion to start my own business from home.
My family and I live in a cul-de-sac within walking distance of Hockley Village, the station, Greensward Academy and Plumberow Academy. We have an enclosed private garden and a separate dedicated playroom which is bright, colourful and full of toys! We are also fortunate to have a large driveway that can accommodate up to 6-7 cars at any one time so there is no need for your child to get in and out of the car on the road.
My Experience
As a parent and as a former pre-school teacher I have extensive experience in dealing with a wide range of ages and abilities and am passionate and committed to providing high quality care at an affordable price. It is my goal that the children in my care grow and develop into happy, confident, well rounded individuals in a safe and caring environment.

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

It's not often you meet someone who genuinely cares about your child as much as you do, we were so lucky to get our little girl a space with Anna, she's been with her a while now and you can just tell how much Anna adores her. For any parent, putting their child into childcare is a huge deal, but when my little one is with Anna, I don't worry, i'm not constantly checking my phone for updates. I know she's okay, I know she's loved and I know shes developing really nicely! I'd recommend Anna to any family in a heart beat!

My little boy has been going to Anna since he was 9 months old. He is now 17 months and is so happy with her. Anna makes him feel very at home and part of the family. She does a wide range of activities with him at home including crafts, painting etc and takes him to toddler groups on 2 of the 3 days he is with her. During the summer there is access to a lovely garden with a big selection of toys.
She keeps me up to date with how he’s progressing and tracks this vs the EYFS criteria. She also sends me pictures of how he’s getting on which is lovely to see.
I would absolutely recommend Anna, as would Thomas who runs into her house with a big smile on his face every morning!!
