My Summary
About Me
I used to be an Ofsted registered childminder working in east Greenwich, London for the last 15 years.
I recently moved to Hothfield , Kent.
I am a very open and communicative person, full of ideas and energy. I love working with children, watching them grow and develop.
I involve my children in numerous both outdoors and indoors activities such as: visits to parks, playgrounds, playing in the sandpit, going to local playgroups, libraries and farms, music classes, cinema as well as painting and cooking.
Apart from attending many trainings and courses for childcare providers I also completed the NVQ3 in Childcare Learning and Development in 2010.
I am DBS checked and have first aid training and I am registered with Ofsted and insured.

Before coming to England I used to work as a primary school teacher for 10 years.
My Qualifications
I'm Montessori trained and have NVQ 3 in Childcare apart from all the trainings and courses required by Ofsted.

Anna is a wonderful, caring and compassionate childminder - we were so happy to have found her. She is incredibly warm, trustworthy and develops really strong bonds with the children in her care. Her communication with parents is brilliant and she goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure all the kids are happy, settled and really developing as little individuals. Juggling work and childcare is obviously stressful and Anna offers a real sense of reassurance, staying in touch during the day if you need her to and providing flexibility if you need. We were so sad to say goodbye when it was time for big school and our son still asks when he is going back to Anna's!

Anna has looked after our daughter for two years now, and sadly due to a change in our circumstances it is time to say goodbye. It's a real wrench as our daughter has been so happy at Anna's! And we have been happy knowing that she was so well-looked after in a loving, laughter-filled and stimulating environment. Anna has bags of energy and charisma, she takes the children out and about every day but also provides a warm and homely place to retreat to - she even manages to make caring for preschoolers seem like fun! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, and will definitely go back to her if we need a childminder again in the future.

If there are spaces at Little Daisy's then your childcare search is over!
Your child will thrive in a warm, caring, supportive environment. With trips to the park, the museum, soft play and time in the garden riding trikes and playing with sand, it's a fantastic place for your child to be.
Anna's highest priority is the development of each child, she ensures they are happy whilst learning to play and share with their young friends.
My son Dylan spent nearly three years with Anna and seeks out the chance to visit her whenever he can. We are delighted that our younger son is currently at Little Daisys and sharing the same experiences. I cannot recommend Anna and Little Daisys strongly enough.

Anna looked after my daughter for 18 months and I couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. She provides a caring and nurturing environment and created a second home. Settling in was incredibly easy and my daughter was very comfortable right from the outset.
My daughter flourished in her care and thoroughly enjoyed the time she spent at Anna's.
Anna is a wonderful person who truly loves children and they love her. She creates a good routine and the children develop strong connections with each other which is something that was also important to me.
My daughter's transition to nursery has been very easy and Anna definitely helped to create a confident secure little girl to which I am indebted.
I now have a second daughter who I hope will be able to benefit from the same great start at Anna's.

Anna is a fantastic Childminder and I can't recommend her enough. She provides a really loving and nurturing environment for the children and genuinely cares about them a lot. She looks after them as if they are her own and provides really good, nutritious food too. She looked after my son Euan from when he was 11 months old and the only reason we left is because we moved out of London. I wish we could have brought Anna with us!

Jake joined Anna when he was 10 months old and I knew I'd found the right place the moment I stepped in the front door. She made a very difficult transition so easy. Happy children, honestly loved and a lovely homely environment. I never once worried about him.
We moved area so had to say goodbye recently and it was by far the most traumatic part about the move. Jake loved both Anna and her fabulous assistant and we've already been back for a visit.
I couldn't recommend Anna or Little Daisy's any more highly.

Anna's house is a true home from home. She is a loving and happy lady who cannot do enough for her children. Her support and reliability was always there. I felt that my son was always in the best possible hands and if i had any more children would not use anyone else to look after a child of mine.
My son is now 3.5 and at nursery. I am now friends with Anna as Harry (my son) insists that we visit her and her children regularly - it really is a home from home.

My daughter Miri was with Anna for nearly two years, and I can't recommend her highly enough as a childminder. She provided a safe, nurturing environment where Miri was able to do fun activities and also socialise with the other children. In particular, Anna was always great at telling me what Miri had been up to and how she was developing in the different environment. An outstanding childminder!

Anna has looked after Herbie since he was 12 months old and he is now 3 years old. We feel so lucky to have found Anna and very priviledged to have had her look after Herbie.
Anna always makes an effort to take the children out to make sure they have plenty of outdoor time and she has a lovely garden that the kids like to play together in.
From the start Anna has always been open, listening to our worries and doing her upmost to make sure Herbie was welcome, comfortable and made safe.
Herbie adores Anna and we will forever cherish the time she has looked after him and we think of her as a close friend more than a carer.
Choosing Anna as a childminder to look after Herbie in a warm loving home environement over a Nursery chain was the best thing we have done.
