My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Anne and I am a registered childminder with Wolverhampton Ofsted. I am a single parent but my daughters are now 39 and 35. The youngest is working and lives with me and my eldest is married with 2 children. I have always looked after both my grandchildren but only have them during school holidays now, they are 13 and 10. I am divorced and my maiden name is Farmer and my married surname is Polish. I have changed my back room into a playroom which opens out onto a very large patio with a large play kitchen area, large tuff tray on stand and plenty of room to ride on bikes and ride ons and I have a large garden, which has a climbing frame with rope ladder, platforms and slide, a play house, sandpit table, mud kitchen, water table, wooden boat, small slide.
I have a 7 seater car and an assortment of car seats. I have had no accidents and I have no points on my licence and I have been driving for 35 years as a careful driver. I do not smoke or drink.
PLEASE NOTE
I do not supply meals as I found there was too much food wasted. So your child would need a lunch box or microwave meal.
I do however supply fresh fruit, salad and vegetables for snack times along with water and milk.
When contacting me, please leave a message or text me as I don't answer the phone while watching the children.

As first time parents my partner and I were very nervous about finding a place for our baby. We looked at a nursery and while we liked it we didn't like the carer to child ratio nor the small spaces that the children were in. My partner suggested we look at childminders as he spent his childhood with a childminder.
Anne is very professional, honest and has a way with children. She set our minds at rest, was upfront about fees and all the rest, produced references without us asking. Our boy took to her on our first meeting, we had a few trial hours to make sure both he and Anne were happy. I was incredibly nervous about leaving the baby with someone but certainly not Anne she has a great energy about her.
Anne takes our boy out and about, including Wolves Play Cafe. We feel our baby has really come on in development since being with Anne. she sends updates and pictures of our boys day.We highly recommend her, we look forward to years to come working with Anne and sharing memories.

Thank you for your generous review. I'm looking forwards to lots of cuddles
Annie is a truly great childminder. From day 1, our son felt great and happy.
We highly recommend Annie. Quincy would agree too.
