We count ourselves extremely fortunate to have found Ann, she has been the perfect childminder for our daughter and we recommend her highly.
Ann has cared for our daughter since she was 1 year old until she started school.
Our daughter has totally thrived in her care. Not only does Ann provide a homely nurturing environment but she also ensures all the children are well stimulated with lots to do. Our daughter has loved going to Ann's, she always looks forward to seeing her and will miss her when she starts school.
We always feel assured that our daughter will be well taken care of when she is with Ann and we highly rate her child minding service.

Ann has been looking after my 2 and half year old twin boys for the last 5 weeks and they absolutely love going to her, they've settled in so well. Ann is amazing with them. There's so much for them to do and Ann does loads of activities with them. They have so much fun and always very excited to tell me about their day when I pick them up.

Choosing Ann as a childminder is one of the best decisions I have ever made as a parent.
She is warm and loving and totally dedicated to the children and families she works with. She looked after my daughter from 9 months until 2 1/2 years and she developed leaps and bounds in all areas. She loved going to Ann's house and still talks about Ann nearly two years on. The only reason I no longer use Ann as a childminder is because circumstances with my work have changed and we have moved house.
I still visit Ann and attend baby signing group with her where she has had the chance to build a relationship with my son. Although she's not his childminder there is still a bond between them and he gets so excited to see her, she has that way about her that babys and children are drawn to.
Everything appears effortless and natural to Ann, she has an amazing gift when it comes to childminding.
Her paperwork reflects the time and effort she puts in with every child as the observation books and scrap books she makes for each child is more detailed and personal than any I have seen from any other childminder. Our books are treasured by all in our family.
I highly recommend Ann to any family. She has been an asset to our family, a support to us all. She 100% deserves to have 'Chidminder of the Year' award and Outstanding from Ofsted. I could go on and on about the brilliant outings, meals, resources, parties that Ann has and arranges but I would be here forever! Go and visit Ann when considering a childminder, she is truly fantastic!!!
