I first reviewed Anja and Ryan when my eldest (14 months at the time) had been going there for a few months. Since then, my youngest has also joined and we continue to be as happy as ever with the care that they provide. I have recommended them to so many friends and we always know that they provide a loving, nurturing and stimulating environment for the little ones they look after. We have never considered another childcare provider! Thank you, Anja and Ryan.

Thank you so much Emily and Henry it’s been such a blessing to mind your lovely kiddies. They have brought us so much joy over the years.
We felt totally comfortable leaving our son at 13 months old because Anja and Ryan provide such a loving environment and really put us at ease on his settling in sessions. We do not need to worry about him during the day because we know he is so well looked after and they really care about every child they mind.
What we love is the homely feel combined with socialising that he gets with the 5/6 other children. The little ones all seem to be good friends and get excited when they see each other!
They send us photo updates across the day so we know what he’s up to and can talk to him about the things he has done that day. If we have any questions, they always make time to answer and seem more than happy to do so. They use an app to share daily notes with us about his day. We were amazed by the level of detail and absolutely love reading them each evening.
A couple of other highlights are the home cooked meals he gets every day and loves! Also, every child has their own room and travel cot to sleep in so he has napped really well there from the very beginning. As well as these, he has been on a few trips including Deen City Farm and Chessington Zoo which we think is a fantastic bonus.
Overall we are thrilled that we found Anja and Ryan and are looking forward to Robbie starting his second year with them in September.

We were looking for someone to take care of our now 16 month old during the pandemic and Anja and Ryan have been amazing. Our son is a lockdown baby and has been there since he was 9 months and we can’t imagine him being anywhere else.
They provide a safe and fun environment with lovely home cooked meals and lots of opportunities to explore and play. We receive daily updates of them singing, reading, painting, playing in the garden (they have an amazing garden), visiting the park, and farm. It feels like a family away from our family and I know how fun his day has been with his friends.
Being parents for the first time and during the pandemic with minimal medical and family support they have been a huge support to us. Answering our questions, updating us on development milestones, and being genuinely lovely people. We can’t recommend them enough.

We feel so lucky to have found Anja and Ryan last year when our daughter, Carly, was 7 months old. They have created such a happy, caring and homely environment in which she has thrived over the past 15 months.
She has so much fun with her small group of friends each day and loves Anja and Ryan to bits. They are brilliant at keeping us updated on daily activities via whatsapp - singing, painting, reading, playground and farm trips and messy play in the garden.
Given that full days are long for little ones, I really wanted to find a childminder offering a homely environment where Carly would feel like one of the family. Anja and Ryan provide just this.
I feel so at ease knowing that she is in their care and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

We love Anja and Ryan and most importantly so does our 19month old daughter. She is loved and cared for like a member of the family. They provide loads of great activities including outdoor activities in their great garden, arts and crafts, walks to the park, song times and story times.
Alice always gets a lovely home cooked meal and even has her own room to nap in.
She greets them at the door with a big smile every day and loves every minute. She has made great progress with them and they always share important next steps with us.
Communication is great with loads of daily photos and a daily account including food/nappies/nap times.
We couldn’t have found better care for our daughter and know she is loved dearly!

Our 17 month old son has been part-time with Anja and Ryan since September of this year and we are very happy with their childcare. We love that our son is in a homely environment - he does arts and crafts, lots of outdoor activities and reading....it feels very personal and Anja and Ryan are excellent at communicating with us regularly.
It’s a big relief to know he is so well looked after and happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone else!

Can’t recommend Ryan and Anja enough. We were looking for a friendly home based environment to care for our son and that’s exactly what we found. They are really caring and kind towards the children they have and our son was always really happy when we picked him up. They have also cared for our primary school age daughter before and after school.

Ah thank you so much Aimie, they have both been such a delight to mind and we are so honoured to have played a part in caring for them.
We can't recommend Anjya and Ryan enough. They have looked after our eldest since he turned one and we consider them part of the family. It is a house full or joy and love and it is clear that all the children adore their time there. When our so had an awkward clingy stage after the birth of our second anja and Ryan were proactive to find solutions and it disappeared very quickly. He couldn't love being there more and our second starts there in the new year.
Days include lots of games, educational play, song, arts & crafts and general fun. Food is all homemade and healthy.

Thank you Fergus, we love having your little one with us, he is such a delight!
We are so happy with the care that Ryan an Anja provide our girls. From settling in to potty training, they have been amazing. The children look forward to seeing them on a Monday morning and love telling us the great fun they have been up to. We appreciate the friendly advice coming from parents with children older than ours. We also like the fact that they take the children out everyday and use local playgroups to socialise. Great food as well. What more could we ask for!

Thanks Joanna, your girls are amazing and have become such a part of the family. We love having them.
We feel so lucky to of found Anja & Ryan @HGLA to look after our 2 year old son and he is over the moon! Having never been at nursery or a childminder before we were obviously prepared for him to take time to settle in, but, Anja & Ryan’s unique, home-from-home setting meant he loved being there pretty much straight away. Not only do they provide a very warm, friendly & clean environment - with lots of playgroup visits, arts & crafts sessions, healthy home cooked food to each child having their own room to nap in (a unique bonus) - they are also extremely professional. Their communication is exceptional - we love the daily detailed reports and progression observations, taking the time to understand your child’s personality and interests. They really are a brilliant team and I can’t wait for my youngest child to be old enough to go to HGLA too!
