Anna Key

Perfect

I cannot recommend Anna highly enough – she has been the most incredible childminder for my daughter from the age of 2 until almost 5. From the very beginning, Anna made us feel completely at ease with her warm, caring, and professional approach. 


Anna goes above and beyond in everything she does. Every single day is filled with fun, creativity, and new experiences. She organises the most wonderful and regular trips out – from local parks and playgroups to farms, airports and nature walks. She meets with a group of other childminders so there was opportunity to collaborate on special events such as the music bus and Christmas specials – giving the children such rich opportunities to learn and explore the world around them. At the same time, she provides a loving, homely environment where each child feels safe, valued, and supported. I am an early years teacher and Anna's own standards for what is healthy, safe and appropriate match my own high standards. I do not worry about her while she is there.


Her dedication to the children’s development is outstanding. She always plans thoughtful activities that encourage learning through play, and I’ve seen my daughter’s confidence, independence, and social skills flourish under her care. Anna has a natural gift for nurturing children, balancing kindness and patience with clear routines and expectations, which has been invaluable in preparing my daughter for school.


What I appreciate most is how much Anna genuinely cares. She treats each child as an individual, tailoring experiences to their interests and needs. Communication has always been excellent – she keeps parents fully informed using the BabyDays app and shares the little moments that mean so much, which made me feel part of my daughter’s day even when I wasn’t there.


My daughter absolutely adored her time with Anna and often came home bubbling over with excitement about what she had done that day. As a parent, there is no greater reassurance than seeing your child so happy, settled, and thriving.


Anna is everything you could wish for in a childminder: reliable, trustworthy, inspiring, and endlessly caring. We feel so lucky to have had her in our lives during these important early years. She has given my daughter the best possible start, and we will always be grateful.

Incredible Childcare Provider!

I feel like I won the lottery finding Anna for my little boy! Oliver has been with Anna for 2 and a half years and has had the best start in life thanks to the love and care he has received from Anna.

Anna is amazing, she is so thoughtful and how she manages to stay so well organised while still making sure the children have the best time, I will never know!

Anna making sure she takes the children out is one thing, but taking them to some of the most incredible places was completely over and above any expectations. Oliver has been to the airport, the beach, the farm, national trust venues along with some fantastic parks and this is just to name a few.

Every day has felt like a new adventure for Oliver and for me to be able to receive regular updates either through the app or direct to me of photos and videos of all the fun he has been having has been wonderful. Anna also has a great home setting, the house is always clean and with so much space for the children to play and endless toys, games and crafts!

I really do feel so lucky to have found Anna and I know that any other parent should feel lucky too! I really can't recommend her highly enough and we will miss her thoroughly!

Outstanding

Anything that I write here will be an understatement to describe how amazing Anna is.
Anna took care of our child since he was 1y old, and I could not be more grateful with the care, love and dedication she gave to our child these 3 years.
Everyday I would bring my child to her house, I was sure he will have a day full of adventures, fun and love. Anna is a very loving childminder and that shows in the relationship/bond she creates with the children. My child was always happy to come to anna's.
For us a parents, it was a relief to have found her and know that she would take care of our kid with the same love and dedication that we will do it.
One particular aspect that I would highlight is how organised she is, she always had weekly activities planned, specially outdoors which for us was really important. There was always something interesting for the kids to do and learn. She provides the kids with a nurturing environment that helps them develop physically and mentally.
Another aspect I would like to highlight is home setting, her house is clean, organised, with open spaces for the kids to play, specially the play room and her garden.
Building the relationship was easy, as she is very transparent, attentive and flexible and she make sure we had daily communication/updates /photos about our child.
I cant thank her enough for the care and help she gave us for the last 3 years.
She is really amazing.
