My Summary

I am a Ofsted registered childminder with a CACHE Level 3 Certificate in Early years Educator. I live In The Bexley borough I pick up and drop off children from Holy Trinity of Lamorbey where my daughter attends.
I currently offer part time / full time places for all ages.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage to monitor and develop the children’s learning and development and create activities that the children both enjoy but also encourage their growth and development in the areas of learning.
I offer the children healthy nutritious snacks throughout the day and encourage them to keep fit and healthy by walking, dancing, music sessions and trips to the park.
We also enjoy nature walks, toddler groups library visits and many other days out such as museums.
I live in a spacious home which offers lots of space indoors and out for the children to use.

Anna Marie is a kind, caring and professional childminder. She genuinely cares for my son and has invested time and love into providing a safe, educational and fun environment for my son and the other children she cares for. My son has been looked after by Anna Marie for 16 months and it's the best decision we made. They go on days out to London, farms, parks, historic sites, play groups, libraries and even a trip to LUSH for a bath bomb making experience! Anna Marie treats my son like part of the family and you can tell by how happy he is to go to hers for the day. We live close to the house and can often see Anna Marie caring for the children when getting in and out the car etc. She is always so calm but the children listen and respect her. I would not hesitate to recommend Anna Marie to anyone. I cannot stress enough the reassurance I felt when going back to work knowing my son was being well looked after. It made my transition back to work less stressful and I love getting pictures and emails sent so I know what he's been up to throughout the day. I will be forever grateful that we found such a fantastic lady and family to take on the care of our son.

Anna marie has had our daughter who was not very confident and had her unique ways but Anna marie helped her massively with her confidence and prepped her for going to nursery. She now has my son and has had him from the age of 9 months, another clingy child but Anna marie goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy and does alot of activities with them throughout the week. Very happy and could not widh for my kids to spend majority of their week with anyone else. Her family is also amazing and my kids love them too. Highly recommend! She cooks healthy meals daily and sends me message updates throughout the day and pictures on how the kids are getting on.

My Daughter has been with Anna-Marie for 2 years and still going :) we cant thank Anna-Marie enough for all she does for the children and how much she has helped my daughter grow and acheive.
Anna-Marie is always kind, calm and patient with all the children and are always looking happy. I love that all the children including my little one always play together and have formed a great friendship that I'm sure will always stay!
No matter the weather they always go out of fun adventures.
Since Amelia has been going to Anna-Marie's I know that I made absolutely the right choice I'n Such a rush which Anna-Marie really really helped with. I can go to work knowing Amelia is completely happy and safe! Which I was so anxious about the first time I left Amelia but that didn't matter when I knew how happy she was and how reassuring Anna-Marie was, helped by always seeing pictures of there fun filled days!
Amelias so happy there and really loves going. In the mornings she doesn't always want to listen to me but as soon as I say where we are going that makes her happy to get ready and leave.
While Amelia is sometimes pleased to see me at the end of the day she’s never desperate to go home and always arrives at Anna-Maries with a smile!
I’ve always felt very comfortable to ask questions about Amelia and her day. Anna-Marie is always happy to tell me the story's of the day and when learning something new we team up and I'll carry on with the learning at home which helps keep a great routine for Amelia and helps with her development.
I honestly couldnt ask for more from a childminder knowing Amelia is happy, safe and all part of a great friendship and family. Xx

Anna-Marie, did school drops and pickups for me when I found myself at a loose end when the schools breakfast club was filled.
The school reception knew that Anna-Marie was taking some of the overflow which was great for me, Ellis really enjoyed Anna-Marie’s routine as she prepared breakfast and supported him with his homework, as a parent you will understand that getting boys to do homework can be a nightmare
