My two daughters, now aged 9 and 2, have been looked after by Anna for about 18 months . Anna had previously looked after my eldest, about four years ago, before she entered into full-time primary education.
To a parent, Anna is extremely professional and fully-qualified, also with child first aid care, to be a top class childminder. I feel very safe in the knowledge that my children are looked after without any fears.
To a child, Anna runs a fantastic daily schedule of healthy meals, fun and educational activities, arts and crafts, play time and sleep time / homework time (if needed).In fact, my girls never want to come home in the evening, as they have had such a fulfilling day. Frequent trips to places like KidSpace are always a favourite with the children.
Anna will take into account a child’s specific needs – special dietary requirements, potty training etc. and always makes each child feel very important. She also ensures that the children are respectful to her and others, always use good manners throughout the day and tidy up after themselves.
As far as toys and games are concerned, Anna has accumulated a fantastic treasure trove of role play, educational and fun things to do. And the house has never felt cluttered or messy, as everything is tidy and organised, and hidden away when not in use.
I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone who wants their children to be looked after in a very happy and content household.
