My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Anna,
I am an Ofsted registered and NNEB trained child carer who is passionate about providing excellent childcare in a safe and caring environment. I live in Lower Morden with my husband and three children (aged 19,16 and 11 in a fun, happy home.
In my childcare setting, children regularly attend playgroups, parks, farms, music & story sessions, libraries and soft play. Children are encouraged to develop their skills and independence through play and interaction with the world around them. It is important to me that each child in my care is able to embrace and enjoy their childhood.
I received GOOD for my last Ofsted inspection in 2019.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Anna

Anna looked after our two children for over a year. Both kids felt like part of the family instantly. My son Aidan suffers with allergies asthma and Anna was excellent with both I never needed to worry. They loved going to Anna’s house as they had wonderful days planned out. Full of activities and outings with art and crafts and trips out
but to name a few. There is excellent space for them to grow in love. We were so sad to say goodbye when we relocated to Ireland.

Anna has been my daughter’s childminder for over 2 years, and we whole heartedly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I honestly feel like we won the childminder jackpot!
She has the kindest, most gentle, motherly nature about her with Ada and the other children and it really does feel like a home from home environment in every way.
Everyday they're exploring new places - whether it’s the farm, different play groups, various parks, paddling pools, soft play, beautiful National Trust gardens and the list goes on! I’m so thankful Ada has been able to experience so many exciting and diverse environments which have helped with her development.
We moved Ada from a private Nursery to Anna in the summer of 2021. I was worried she might not have as much interaction with other children as she would have in Nursery – but once she started with Anna, all those worries went out of the window. Anna regularly meets with other childminders and their children for play dates and for various outings. Ada tells me her daily stories about friends she met up with – as well as friends that Anna also looks after.
When we potty trained Ada, Anna was incredible at continuing the same training we had done at home. She listened to what processes had already worked and followed the same training that we had been doing. This was so comforting for both us and Ada as there was such an easy transition and everything stayed the same.
As a parent, I always feel such a sense of ease with Anna. She’s been incredible with the transition of Ada starting Nursery - I didn’t always have the answers to questions and she’s been so helpful guiding with no judgement.
We really can't recommend Anna enough - you'll be unbelievably lucky to get her if you can!!!

I found Anna at a time when my daughter was very unsettled after starting in a private nursery with a revolving door of carers. My daughter clearly needed a bond with the person who was looking after her and she quickly took a liking to Anna, which was such a welcome relief. She also looked after my son for a period of time while he transitioned from the same nursery to pre-school.
Anna offers a lovely, welcoming environment and provides nutritious home-cooked meals for lunch and dinner, something which sadly seems to be becoming less common in childminder settings these days. She is flexible and easy-going, and her communication is excellent. She socialises the children in her care with a variety of play groups and also takes the little ones on fun outings to see the world around them. A few examples of outings my daughter went on included pumpkin picking, RHS Wisley and a National Trust property. She's also just lovely to chat to - handover always included some good banter and was never rushed. I would highly recommend Anna’s services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring childminder.

We were so incredibly lucky with finding Anna, she bought so much joy to our little boys days. From visiting the splash pads, visits to RHS Wisley, arts and crafts and play days in the local parks, every day was a new adventure and Anna seems to have a never-ending directory of local places to visit!
Dougie took to Anna instantly. She is extremely warm, welcoming, kind hearted and conscientious, and gave Dougie the confidence to step out from his comfort zone and make new friends. He’s now at nursery and absolutely thriving, and we honestly couldn’t recommend and thank Anna more!

I can't recommend Anna highly enough; she is everything you would want and need in a childminder and a terrific extension of our family. Anna is flexible, professional, loving, warm and just simply wonderful at what she does.
Children in Anna's care are lucky to have her and we will be forever thankful for the love and care she has provided to our little ones!
