Our little one is so happy at Amelia’s house and loved it from the very start when he was 10 months old. He really has progressed so well, massive credit the setting. We've even been recommending it to NCT friends and random parents we meet in the park.

We’ve been sending our daughter to Annabel for the past year, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From day one, she has created such a warm, caring, and stimulating environment where children are clearly happy and thriving.
Annabel is incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. She really takes the time to understand each child’s needs and adapts to them, which has made such a difference for our little one. The small group size means every child gets plenty of individual attention, and the fantastic facilities offer everything they need to play, learn, and grow. We especially love that outdoor play is a real priority—rain or shine, the children get fresh air every day, which we really value.
Our daughter absolutely loves her time with Annabel. Whether they’re learning about different festivals, or simply enjoying creative and fun activities, there’s always something exciting going on. Annabel also keeps us well-informed with regular updates and check-ins, which gives us such great insight into how our daughter is developing and learning.
We honestly can’t recommend Annabel highly enough. Knowing our daughter is in such safe, loving, and capable hands makes it so much easier for us to head to work each day. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!

Sending our little one to Annabel has been one of the best decisions ever. The care and attention she receives daily has exceeded our expectations in every way.
Annabel is remarkable at addressing developmental milestones with such thoughtfulness and creativity. Whenever our little one faces challenges, Annabel finds subtle yet impactful solutions that make a real difference. Her approach to early childhood education is extraordinary - blending nurturing support with age-appropriate learning opportunities.
The entire staff shares Annabelle's dedication and warmth. The nursery environment itself is immaculately clean and beautifully arranged to inspire curiosity and independence in the children.
We wish this wonderful Montessori setting was available when our older child was this age! We couldn't recommend Annabel and her nursery more highly to parents seeking exceptional childcare with a genuine Montessori philosophy.

We were recommend Annabel following a terrible nursery settle in experience and it’s the best decision we ever made.
I was very apprehensive returning to work following that traumatic experience, but meeting with Annabel, we were reassured from the get go that she was the perfect caregiver for our son.
Annabel is a wonderful, caring, kind and dedicated caregiver. She provides a personalised settle in experience for your child in a nurturing, warm and fun environment. Our son has made wonderful friends and feels very safe and happy with his carers. We can see incredible improvement week on week with his confidence, speech and learning, and it’s so lovely to see him excited to spend the day there.
Annabel and her team are incredibly passionate about early years learning and we couldn’t be happier with the exceptional service they provide. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Annabel and are so grateful to her for making our first child’s nursery experience such a positive one for the whole family!

Amelia’s House has been a fantastic choice for us & our son. From the moment he started attending at just 1 year old, we’ve felt reassured knowing he's in a safe, nurturing environment where he can learn, explore, and socialise.
Annabel, who runs Amelia’s House, is everything we hoped for in a caregiver—kind, approachable, and clearly passionate about creating a positive space for the children. Our son quickly adapted to the warm atmosphere, and we’re so pleased with how well he has bonded with her, the other children and the endless skills he’s learning.
As a new parent, this transition felt like a huge step, but Amelia’s House has exceeded all of our expectations.

My son is with Annabel full time and during the last 5-6 months, Annabel is not only providing an outstanding childcare but also working on his development. She has individual approach to every child. They have different subjects every week - full of fun and learning! Annabel genuinely and sincerely loves working with children, she has a big heart and every child has a place in it ☺️ We are lucky to have her! 🤗

I highly recommend Annabel as an exceptional Montessori childminder who provided excellent care for my baby on an ad-hoc basis. She displayed immense patience, warmth, and genuine affection, creating a nurturing environment where my baby felt safe and loved.
Her Montessori approach was evident in the thoughtful activities and engaging lessons she tailored to my baby's developmental stage, fostering both intellectual and emotional growth. I was consistently impressed with her ability to adapt her teaching methods to suit my baby's unique needs, ensuring a stimulating and enriching experience during every interaction.
Beyond her professional expertise, she demonstrated a deep understanding of child development and a genuine passion for early childhood education.
I am truly grateful for the care and attention Annabel provided to my baby. Her commitment to Montessori principles, coupled with her kindness and compassion, make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a nurturing and educational caregiver for their child.
