Anna has been babysitting for my 2 year old on and off over the last 18 months on weekday evenings and weekends. Without fail this has always worked very well. My newest addition is under 3 months old and last week without hesitation I also left her with my eldest and Anna to be babysat for the day. Anna is a very caring person and seems to know instinctively what both of my little ones need to keep them happy. I'm sure all the training and qualifications she has help too of course! I appreciate the updates she sends via WhatsApp during babysitting and feel completely confident leaving my girls in her care.
My daughter was with Anna since she was just over 2 years old. Anna is an exceptionally kind and caring person. She understands children's needs and provides a very well balanced environment, with freshly cooked healthy food and daily trips to the playground, the forrest, etc. Anna provides children with age specific focused activities which prepare them either for moving to the pre-school or school. My daughter is now in reception, and even though we had to find a childminder closer to school to help with daily after school care, our daughter still goes back to Anna's during half-terms and holidays as she is missing Anna and her friends she met there. She even left her tooth brush there, so she has an excuse to go back!
I would have no hesitation to recommend Anna as a childminder, as she has been supporting us for the last 3 years and she has never let us down.
So i started the procces of subscribing my baby with her, and she decided to tell me in the middle of the procces that she has no availability? Not such a serious person as i stopped searching for a childminder, beeing sure i found one since we started signing the papers ! I do not recommend her!

We did not sign contract and I have explained that there were changes in circumstances.
I was very nervous when booking Anna as my son had never been with childminders before. We opted for nurseries instead. We were looking for holiday cover for Christmas 2019 for our son who is is under 5 and Anna had availability. We loved Anna from our first visit. We visited a few times before the actual day to give me the assurance he was happy. On each occasion, he didn't want to leave. He settled in quickly and Anna engaged him in several age appropriate activities. He even tried new foods, and he is a fussy eater. My son loved the environment, he was well fed, went out as needed and Anna gave updates throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. At pick up I was often kept waiting as he didn't want to leave. He also loved playing with the other children, who all seemed happy. Thank you Anna.
Anna is great. My daughter prefers going to Anna than to the nursery. Anna cooks delicious food and encourages fussy eaters to try new things. She is also flexible about pick up times which helps a lot when you are commuting from London. I highly recommend Anna.
Myself and my partner have been sending our son to Anna for the past 6 months and we can not recommend her enough. She is absolutely fantastic with our son and he has come on leaps and bounds since spending time with anna. He settled in very quickly and is always happy to be left in the mornings and never wants to leave in the evenings , he learns new things everyday as well as spending lots of time exploring the outdoors. Anna provides a wide variety of healthy meals and snacks and we get plenty of positive feedback about what our son is up to throughout the day. Anna will always go the extra mile to help us out as a family from being flexible with our sons hours to organising fun events for the children’s families to join in with. We can not fault Anna and any families that get the opportunity to have thier children in Anna’s care are very lucky.
My son's been going to Anna's since before he was 1. She's fantastic with him. We had as many settling in sessions as he needed so the first time I left my son with her for the whole day there no absolute no tears what so ever. Now my son loves going there.
All the kids in Anna's care are regularly taken out to various places like the library, the park, soft play so they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. There's also lots of toys and books at home to keep them occupied when indoors too.
My son is thriving under Anna care so I'd highly recommend her.
Anna is a wonderful, caring and excellent. She has been looking after our 3 year old girl since February. Our daughter took 1 visit to settle, she absolutely adores Anna. She is provided with healthy and fresh food, endless trips to the playground, park, library and lots of educational activities suitable for her age. She has a nap every day she visits without fail and lots of play time. Anna is well experienced in childcare and it is evident on how well she can manage children in her care. I would not hesitate to recommend Anna as a childminder. I don't know what we would do without her. I know when my daughter is with Anna she is safe and I can relax during my busy working days knowing my little one is happy and well.
My two years old boy went at a very good nursery but he did not settle well and he was not happy there even after 4 months so I decided to take him to a childminder. When Cris saw Anna first time he was very happy and relaxed and he settled well very fast. She has a perfectly clean house with lots of new toys every day, with Montessori activities and many beautiful books. Cris is getting bored fast, but with Anna never happens this as she keeps him busy all the time. She takes him in parks, to give food to the ducks, to see horses and in new places every week.
My boy is fussy with the food as well but Anna is cooking fresh and healthy meals and she manages to make him to eat better and to try new recipes. Because she is a calm, warm and lovely person, Cris sees her as member of our family and he asks about her even when he is at home. I could not thank Anna enough for her love, her time and her care for our son.
