We moved into the area last year, I was looking for a childminder and Anna caught my eye, first time I enquired she was fully booked but just before we moved she had a space come up - I was so excited as the setting and the general impression I got after meeting Anna was superb. Ollie is now starting school, Anna taught Ollie to write his own name and work on his numbers, she focuses on getting him ready for school which was great and worked a lot better than pre school as he had a lot of attention. Ollie was always happy to go to Anna's as there was a variety of things to do and places to go. Anna is also a fantastic cook and Ollie always ate very good, healthy meals. All in all I would recommend anyone to Anna as she is fantastic and Ollie loved every minute. I will definitely be booking her up for some school holidays! Happy Child - Happy Mummy.

Anna looked after our son for 2 full days a week from ages 9 to 26 months. She provided lunch and dinner each day. She offers a spacious home environment with a dedicated play room and a large garden.
The care and nurture Anna provided were excellent. She filled the day with lots of engaging activities both at home and on trips out, of which there were numerous at no extra charge. She encouraged our son to socialise well with the other children in her care and her own. As a trained chef, we had full confidence that her meals would be tasty and nutritious. Our son certainly thought so! Anna was also willing to be flexible with any one-off changes to care requirements too, when feasible. Anna documented our son's daily activities thoroughly through Babydays, with regular photo and video updates from the day.
All in all, we feel that Anna cared for our son like he was her own throughout the time that he was with her and we look forward to sending our second child to her at a similar age.

Anna looked after out Daughter from 9 months to 18 months and she is fantastic in all respects. Anna provided a rich and nurturing environment for our Daughter and regularly took her to soft play, play groups, forest walks, play parks, the beach, and many other places as well as indoor and outdoor play in her own large home and garden. Anna would always post photos of our Daughter in a shared photostream and write a summary of the day as well as keeping a comprehensive development journal. My husband and I have no hesitation in recommending Anna to our friends and we would use her again in the future.

I am a full time working mum and when I felt that my daughter wasn't getting enough diversity or stimulation from her nursery I was lucky enough to find Anna and I have to say, we could not have found a better childminder. Her home provides a clean and safe environment set up perfectly for the children. The large garden is full of toys for them to play with whatever their age. Anna taught my daughter how to grow beans and raspberries which she loved and still talks about to this day. She is always taking the children on adventures with regular trips to the beach, farms and soft play. Anna also cooks home made food and regularly bakes with the children which my daughter really enjoyed, she always keeps an eye on the amount of water they drink during the day and makes sure they are fully hydrated.
Basically to my eyes Anna is perfect for my daughter and for us!! If you trust her she will be an amazing support to your child and your family and you will have your peace of mind, your child is safe with her.

My daughter has been with Anna for approx two yrs now and we couldn't have found anyone better than her. The way she plans their day, their meal times and menus are excellent. She's got a very clean and tidy house and exceptionally beautiful garden. My daughter loves to play on the trampoline, wendy house and run around in the sprinkler in summer. Anna takes them on days out to museums, parks, heritage sites, beaches etc. She serves them home cooked meals. My daughter loves her and the family. She's also been very accomodating for extra days of childcare when needed. I cannot recommend anyone better than Anna.

Anna looks after my two boys, Maxwell 5 and Austin 2. Anna does more with the boys in a day than I do in a week! The day is well structured with playgroup/ outgoing in the morning, lunch and in Austins case a sleep! School pick up then play in a wonderful family house and garden. My boys love the trampoline & playing football with a group of children in the garden. Plenty of arts/crafts and toddler play and all is well documented in austin's book when we collect him later in the day. I am so pleased we know Anna and her family, I know my children are safe and well cared for which brings an enormous peace of mind. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Anna is a wonderful childminder and provides interesting and fun activities for the children in her care. Their day is a lovely mixture of creative activities at her home, fun play and attending local groups. Anna is very caring and conscientious, enabling the children in her care to play well together. She is able to provide a lovely home environment which the children clearly enjoy. Our daughter has also enjoyed visits to the woods and the beach! Anna is a highly recommended childminder.

Anna has been my 5 year old son's childminder (before and after school) since September 2012 and I cannot fault her, she is brilliant. William has been so happy and settled from day one. It is home from home for him, her whole family welcomed him from the start. It is also a great social life for my son, especially as an only child, as he gets to mix with other children there too. He is in the same class as Anna's daughter so Anna has become a good friend for me too. She is a lovely, warm person with a great sense of fun. She sets up wonderful creative activities for my son, he plays great games, sings, even dances, and he clearly loves it all. He also loves her home baking! Her house is perfect, full of resources and space, with a beautiful big garden. William loves the trampoline, and sandpit! I feel so lucky to have found Anna, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

My son joined with Anna in Feb 2013 and has settled so well into her lovely setting. He adores her two children and loves all the other children that she also takes care of. He is with her two days a week and they always go to either a playgroup or a soft play, she also has a beautiful back garden with a trampoline, sandpit and Wendy house which my son loves. My son is given home cooked meals and desserts which is lovely and he is really treated like one of the family. Her setting is very clean and safe and I really feel so lucky to have found her. We sit and read my sons daily diary when we get home to see what he has done that day which I think is a great idea I also write in this too. All in all I give her a 10 out of 10!!
