About Me
Hi, my name is Anna and I am an OFSTED registered childminder who works in a partnership with another registered childminder.I enjoy working with children and also offer high quality childcare for children in all ages. I also accept FUNDING for 9 months,2,3,4 years old children which is 15 or 30 hours free of charge weekly. If you are only requiring funded hours I WILL NOT CHARGE ANY EXTRA FEES.
I provide care throughout the day including dropping off to and picking up from home, local nurseries and schools using my own car. I also provide care before taking children to school and after collecting them.
The setting is responsible for all aspects of childcare, Safeguarding and Child Protection, Health and Safety.
I am more than happy to take children to activities to help them develop their skills and learn by exploring such as:
- Local farm
- Local libraries
- music class
- helping with homeworks
- etc
Healthy meals and snacks will be provided daily all year round using seasonal fruits and vegetables.
I ensure the welfare, development and learning of the children in my care through application of legislation (EYFS and other relevant frameworks).
I provide each child in my care a profile folder which will inform parents of their development. Daily reports are provided to show parents what their little ones were exploring and learning.

I cannot recommend Hibanna enough! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff are incredibly attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of every child.
I am a First time mother and it was extremely worrying for me to send my child to nursey when he does not speak but I had to go back to work. Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos that give me peace of mind and allow me to feel involved in my child’s day-to-day activities. They have made myself and my child feel safe, loved and supported through the process.
The facilities are top-notch—bright, clean, and filled with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. The outdoor play area is a dream come true for little ones, offering plenty of space to explore and enjoy fresh air.
What truly sets this nursery apart is the nurturing environment. My child absolutely loves attending and has blossomed both socially and academically. The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between play and education, fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning.
Thank you to the incredible team at Hibanna for providing such a safe, fun, and stimulating environment. It’s clear that you love what you do, and it makes all the difference!

I am a bit late writing this (sorry hibak and Anna!). Our son joined hibak and Anna when he was 18 months old and we had just moved to the U.K., they very quickly settled him in and made him feel at home. Hibak and Anna are lovely caring people and really went the extra mile with the kids - even dressing up as Santa 😀

Our son has been with Hibak and Anna for more than a year. He has been very happy and also made friends there. Hibak and Anna are very flexible, accommodating and friendly. I fully recommend them.

My daughter joined Anna, Hibak and their team when she was 16months old. And we have been so blessed with the relationship built with them!
She is eager to go to ‘school’ and has no problem running to meet Anna or Hibak when I drop her off.
Hibanna is more than just a childcare setting, it is a home away from home with Anna and Hibak. They have a special relationship with every child and the intimate setting provides a platform for them to get to know each child individually.
The benefit of Childmindee’s working together is that my daughter doesn’t have to go with on school runs etc. She stays with the team, who runs the daily program. There are also a handful af children that are the similar age. My daughter looks forward to playing with her friends and learning with them!
At Hibanna you will receive daily updates with pictures / videos and a quick chat. There is Seasonal painting and activities and educational play. My daughter is learning English along with counting/colours and shapes and not to mention all the English songs she is singing.
I would recommend Hibanna’s setting to anyone who wants to move away from the big formal nursery setup to a more intimate childcare setup.
Hibanna has been very accommodating during a tricky COVID time. They have remained open to help with childcare that is also a testimony to their character. I would and have recommended Hibanna to anyone looking for flexible childcare.

Anna and Hibak have been amazing. Our son took FOREVER to settle and yet Anna , Hibak and team never gave up on him and always gave us the reassurance that it’s fine and also extended the settling in process for him. They are extremely flexible and try and accommodate your needs/child’s needs as much as possible. One thing that I love is at the end of the day, when I go to pick my son, the door is wide open for us to walk right through.
They also carry out fun activities(Painting, story and rhyme time) and have lots and lots of toys.
My son loves it now and has been with Hibanna for 1.5 years now.

Our son, Riley, loves the ladies at Hibanna. He's been with them full time since the age of eight months old when I returned to work. He's always very happy at drop off and doesn't even look back when walking off to the playroom to meet up with his friends. He's even been known to shed a few tears when we arrive to collect him.
Anna regularly sends photos of what the kids are up to during the day which is really comforting as a parent. Riley, and the others, always look so happy and to be having such a great time. It's great to see everyone participating in activities and crafts or just playing in the garden on sunny days.
Anna and the other ladies are very attentive and if there ever is a problem they let us know immediately. I'm very happy sending my son there daily and dread the day when it's time for him to move on.

I am a mother of two boys who went to Anna and Hebak’s setting for two years. My boys loved them so much. They had a very warmth personality especially for my younger son who adored Hebak. Very punctual and flexible. They recruited good staff working as one team. Any issues were dealt promptly and efficiently from their side and they made me feel comfortable.
I highly recommend them. 😍

Active Kids are a fantastic home from home for our daughter, who is 2.5 and has been attending since 11 months. She is always really excited to spend time with them and clearly has a great day there. When they pick her up, she doesn’t look back, she is so keen to go, and I am reassured to have a big hug when she returns, or I’d think she preferred it there!!
She eats and sleeps well, has lots of fun, and comes home with new ideas/skills she has learnt. Anna and Hibak have created a wonderful, caring, fun, safe and nurturing environment within the setting. Anna’s house is beautifully set up with the playroom, quieter areas, and smooth access into the secure garden. I really trust them with my children. I am so pleased they have found space for my second daughter for when I return to work in the autumn, because I really wouldn’t want her to be with anyone else.

My daughter has been attending Active Kids for 1,5 years now, since she was 11 months. I have always felt that I am leaving Her in safe and loving hands of Anna and Hibak. I know that they do everything to ensure, that my daughter and other children have an exciting and fun filled day. Lila talks about the ladies and other children all the time at home, always in a positive way, she seems to be very attached to her carers and love her friends. I am very happy she can play and learn in family like setting in home environment and children of different ages and pets;)
Anna's home is beautiful and designated playroom and garden are awesome! Range of toys and resources amazing, I wish I could stay and play there too!!! Active Kids childminders are very kind and cheery, engaging with Lila from the moment we come in!
Anna and Hibak treat me as a parent very professionally too, giving a detailed feedback about my child's day, they offer advice and support when I have concerns about Lila's development and are happy to accommodate any special requirements I have regarding taking care of my daughter.
I believe my daughter is very happy with Active Kids and so am I, going to work with peace in mind, knowing that Anna and Hibak are looking after Lila.
