Amazing teacher and childminder

Anna looks after our son 3 days per week, he is 2 years and 4 months old and started at 1 year and 7 months old.

Anna has been absolutely amazing for him; he has been learning at an extremely fast rate and is always so happy when going to Anna. He has great fun every day with his friends, conducting engaging activities and following a structured learning programme that Anna provides. Anna used to be a teacher so she is able to use those skills to guide him when learning new skills, and this makes a real difference.

The home environment Anna provides is a bit like a nursery in terms of the equipment available - there is an entire room dedicated to play and learning which is absolutely full of toys, books and anything else you might expect from a top-quality childcare setting. In addition to this, Anna has a large garden which has a lot of fun and educational activities - they spend a lot of time out there which is great for development. Anna also has a learning theme of the week, and sends photos to us to show how our son has got on in the week. We even have a learning progress journal to see how he's developing.

Anna is a rare example of someone who is absolutely dedicated and passionate to what she does. Anna is natively a Polish speaker, but that has not had any effect on our son's language development at all - in fact, his talking is quite advanced for his age - so you don't need to worry about that at all. Anna deeply cares about the children she looks after, and is extremely reliable; she has never been sick or not been able to take our son on the planned days.

I strongly feel that Anna should have been given an Outstanding Ofsted rating, because I fail to see how she could be any better. I take my son to her each day with confidence that he is going to have a brilliant day and without a single worry in my mind, which is important as a parent of a toddler.

Thank you so much Anna for your brilliant work, we could not be happier.
