If anyone is looking for a wonderful, loving and deeply caring childminder in West Hampstead, we highly recommend Ana Augusto. Our son has been with her since he was 11 months old and absolutely adores her. We had a very difficult settling in phase, but Ana was always loving and patient and gave us so much confidence that everything would work out in the end. And it did - and it’s been so amazing ever since knowing that he’s in such grest hands all day.

Ana looks after the kids in her beautiful, welcoming and meticulously clean flat, takes the kids to nearby playgrounds and drop-in sessions, cooks their meals and tends to all their individual needs one by one. She’s also an amazing educator, very observant and also encourages them to play and develop in their own pace and time. She is so experienced, having worked as a childminder for the last 20 years.

We’re sadly moving countries and are so heartbroken to leave her behind. But whoever gets our son’s spot with her is so lucky!
