We looked for a childminder who was open to the idea of working through school term time only, so Anna fitted this build perfectly. She looked after our toddler, for a span of under 6 months. We had to discontinue our contract with her, due to circumstances.

Her and her family unit, are so friendly and hospitable. Her home is child friendly and kept immaculately clean. Anna provides plenty of individual attention to the child, while looking after a small group of children, as well as her own two children.

She provides plenty of outdoor activities, taking the children to the park for fresh air and playtime. Personally I find she is quite physically fit also to run around the children. Generally she keeps the children entertained with various indoor and outdoor activities, and plays on their key talents.

Anna was very understanding to our circumstances eg: us being late on a couple of occasions, she has a relaxed and caring personality. It made us feel reassured that we had her as our aid.
What we liked especially is that she would sample many vegetarian food options with our child. Her idea of keeping things to organic fruit and veg showed, she had the same health ethics as us.

We greatly appreciated her daily updates, which gave us some knowledge (while we were at work) of what our child was doing, and making the most of the day. Good communication is key and we found we definitely had that with Anna. She is amazing and we would hope she finds work with many other parents because of her caring nature and love for children. As a whole, she is a delight to work with, and we got on great. She understood what we wanted as parents and incorporated that in her daily routine.
