My Summary
Anna's House Childminding
About Me
Hello my name is Anna and I have a cosy childminding setting which could be described as a mini nursery full of love, hugs and fun.
I am a very enthusiastic person and adore babies and children. I am reliable, friendly, caring and passionate about the work I do.
I work with a wonderful team of people who equally love working with babies and toddlers.
We follow the EYFS with children and cover all 7 areas of learning and development.
We aim to teach children through playing indoors and outdoors doing a wide arrange of activities e.g. painting, play dough, card making, train track building, Lego, baking, handcrafts, leaf collecting, reading stories, dancing and many more.
We create a strong bond with the children we look after and we are still in touch with most of the parents that leave.
We are punctual and respect parents wishes regarding what structure they would like us to follow for their babies and toddlers to be happier at the setting.
Children are taken out on a daily basis to different parks, libraries and playgrounds. We believe through play, encouragement and using a range of activities children will learn to develop the skills that is important throughout their lives.
All meals are prepared fresh on a daily basis.
My Experience
The first experience of children I have had is bringing up my own 2 kids who are now 24 and 13 years old. I have enjoyed every minute of being a mum which inspired me to have my own provision.
Before opening up my own setting I worked as a nanny for 3 amazing families.

I can see that my daughter is really happy at Anna's. In the morning when I tell her :”we go to Anna’s” she starts running to the door and gets very excited.
She is so happy when we arrive and she is always so happy when we pick her up. Everyday she is greeted with love and care from all of the staff, and I can see that she feels at ease and very comfortable with them.
Anna cooks delicious and healthy food everyday for the children and is always happy to meet our dietary requirements.
We love the weekly newsletter that informs us of all the amazing activities the staff organises for the children and I have been impressed by the wide range of activities, from painting to cooking to physical exercise.
The entire team is truly dedicated, patient and passionate about their job. They are genuine people that really care about the kids' development. I feel that they have become my daughter's extended family.

Thank you Anna and all your staff for taking care of Jerry during his 10 months here! Really appreciate it!
I would consider Anna's place a top notch and no brainer choice for parents who live nearby Finchley/Swiss Cottage. First of all it is so obvious that her and her team absolutely love children, and my dear boy loves her, that can be told by how he runs into her place without even wanting to leave a glance at his parents...And her team has been very steady so each of Anna's team knows the children very well and can handle them very very well.
I think then her place is really clean, spacious and dedicated for the kids. There's been a number of other places I have visited but many are hybrid places where care takers live in the same place where the children are cared for, typically that's a bit challenging especially things pile up and spaces are occupied, and the children run or bump into different things. But Anna's place has this apartment dedicated to children with all her rooms used for the children not for the adults, that's really different.
Also the place is very convenient just 1 min walk from Waitrose Finchley road, great location.
Lastly she communicates really well with all of us. Really appreciate all the endeavors, Anna, and the team!

Anna and her lovely team have looked after my son for almost two years since he was 7 months old and he has loved every minute of it! They are extremely caring and they provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children. It is evident that they love their job as well as the children themselves.
They organise daily fun and educational activities /outings to keep the children occupied and I have seen my son evolve into a very happy and confident little boy.
Communication between Anna and the parents is very good and parents are kept informed of all food menus/ activities on a weekly basis. They also prepare healthy and varied meals.
I have absolute trust in Anna and have no hesitation in recommending her and her team. I felt reassured that my son was properly taken care of and was in safe hands.
Thank you so much Anna and team!

With a lot of mixed feelings, we started to take our 1-year-old son to a childminder. It wasn't an easy decision to leave him with someone else during day times.
But, from the absolutely first moment, we knew that we made the right decision.
Anna and the team are so amazing. They deeply care about the children. Wrapping them up with love and affection. So Supportive to the parents. It was such an awsome experience with them and we would like to thank them for a wonderful 18 months!
We will definitely meet them again with our next child :)

We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Anna and her team have provided for our little one. From day one, the environment was loving, safe, and full of opportunities for growth. The attention to detail is clear, from the freshly prepared, diverse menu that even our picky eater enjoyed, to the wide range of engaging activities that encourage exploration, creativity, and learning.
Anna’s nursery is thoughtfully designed, offering everything from baking sessions to outdoor adventures, ensuring the children have a rich, varied experience each day. Our son thrived under their care, always coming home well-loved, nurtured, and excited to return.
The warmth and dedication of Anna and her team in fostering healthy habits and positive learning experiences is truly remarkable. Anna's House exceeded all our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a caring, stimulating, and joyful environment for their child.
