Its a bitter sweet moment writing a review for Anna. She has been part of our lives for 6 years... having looked after my eldest son now 7 since he was 8months old and my second son, who is almost 4 and leaving to go to nursery. She cared for both my babies as if they were her own and I'm not having any more babies now so it feels like the end of an era for our family.

Anna has been instrumental in helping raise my boys into the funny, caring and confident little humans they are today. Particular highlights have been visits to Anna's allotment, the endlessly creative arts and crafts the boys have come home with! thoughtful mothers day/father's day, Easter and Christmas gifts she's helped the children make. Building forts in forests, wading through streams collecting stones and all manner of treasures. Visits to national trusts... the list is endless really. Its been such an adventure for them.

Anna is an exceptional childminder and mother - just the most beautiful, kind and loving soul. I really cannot praise her highly enough. She has been everything a care giver should be and more.
