Anna Key

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.

Outstanding childminder

It is impossible for this review to do justice to Anna and the amazing work she's doing. I cannot recommend Anna highly enough. Our 3 children have been with Anna since 2019.

Anna is extremely caring and forms a great bond for the children, especially the little ones when they're away from their primary care givers for the first time. Her house and garden are ideal for the children to play and learn in. She's very active with other childminders in the area which means that the children get the best of both worlds - small intimate setting at Anna's but still access to bigger groups of children at the various playgroups our outings she organises.

Whenever she can, Anna will be outdoors with the kids (regardless of the weather) and it is something we're very grateful for. She's very good at giving the kids age appropriate tasks to help them become independent and strikes the right balance between nurturing and holding boundaries.

Exceptional!

If I could give more stars, I would!

Anna is an incredible childminder - she made my son feel welcome and at ease from day one. Her setting is lovely, she is very attentive with the children and offers plenty of opportunities for them to explore outside and to playgroups. She's extremely flexible and happy to work around our family's needs. She also a genuine person and very easy to get along with.

Amazing Childminder & Setting

I don’t even know where to start! Anna is such an amazing childminder and we are so lucky to have had her as a Childminder for Emily.

From day 1 Emily loved going to Anna’s feeling so comfortable in her beautiful clean home and with her lovely family as if she was one of her own.

Emily would be so excited and ask each morning if she was going. Emily formed great friendships with the other children and had such fun with them everyday.

Anna always did amazing things with Emily, they always went on days out to amazing places or they were creating lovely things in her home or playing in the beautiful garden.

Anna provided Emily with a great lunch which she always enjoyed.

We were kept well informed about all that Emily done on a daily basis with lots of wonderful photos and an explanation of what they had been up to. Anna gave us all the photos on a memory stick to keep when we left which was amazing.

We moved to a different county so unfortunately even though we would have loved Anna to come with us we had to leave which was extremely sad.

I have older children and have never had such an amazing experience with a childcare provider!

If you want to have the most amazing lady looking after your child then Anna is a must! 100% the best in the industry!

Simply the best

Anna looked after our baby boy from the age of 6 months until he was 13 months old and Anna was a true blessing.
As a first time mother I was really anxious about leaving my baby but Anna was so understanding and reassuring when we met her. She also introduced us to her beautiful children who were so polite and very kind, which was a great sign for us - we could tell that she would be the best childminder!
Anna has an amazing set up for babies / children: playroom filled with great toys, big and airy main room where our son Gabriel gained confidence and learnt to crawl and walk, beautiful massive garden and very cute rabbits! We were also sent photos of Gabriel showing the many different activities Anna organised for him and the other children she looks after on a daily basis and also daily notes about his day, what he ate, nap times etc. Anna was so informative and great at communicating.
Gabriel was so happy from day one up until his last day. He loved Anna and her children so much. He learnt so much in his 7 months at Anna's and we cannot thank her enough for it.
Sadly we moved house too far away from Anna's for her to keep looking after Gabriel. I actually cried when I went to pick up Gabriel for the last time as I knew that Gabriel will miss her a lot, and so will we. I really wish we could have taken Anna with us!
