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.
