Below are the latest reviews for Anna. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Anna looks after our son 3 days per week, he is 2 years and 4 months old and started at 1 year and 7 months old.
Anna has been absolutely amazing for him; he has been learning at an extremely fast rate and is always so happy when going to Anna. He has great fun every day with his friends, conducting engaging activities and following a structured learning programme that Anna provides. Anna used to be a teacher so she is able to use those skills to guide him when learning new skills, and this makes a real difference.
The home environment Anna provides is a bit like a nursery in terms of the equipment available - there is an entire room dedicated to play and learning which is absolutely full of toys, books and anything else you might expect from a top-quality childcare setting. In addition to this, Anna has a large garden which has a lot of fun and educational activities - they spend a lot of time out there which is great for development. Anna also has a learning theme of the week, and sends photos to us to show how our son has got on in the week. We even have a learning progress journal to see how he's developing.
Anna is a rare example of someone who is absolutely dedicated and passionate to what she does. Anna is natively a Polish speaker, but that has not had any effect on our son's language development at all - in fact, his talking is quite advanced for his age - so you don't need to worry about that at all. Anna deeply cares about the children she looks after, and is extremely reliable; she has never been sick or not been able to take our son on the planned days.
I strongly feel that Anna should have been given an Outstanding Ofsted rating, because I fail to see how she could be any better. I take my son to her each day with confidence that he is going to have a brilliant day and without a single worry in my mind, which is important as a parent of a toddler.
Thank you so much Anna for your brilliant work, we could not be happier.

For the past year, my daughter has been attending sessions with Anna, and I am extremely satisfied with the services provided. My daughter absolutely adores Anna. She is a warm, welcoming, and kind-hearted individual who truly excels in her work. I am grateful that my daughter is so happy and comfortable with Anna.
Anna is an excellent communicator; she takes the time to thoroughly explain everything whenever necessary. My daughter has learned a great deal from Anna, particularly in terms of educational development. I can confidently say that Anna is a dedicated and caring professional who genuinely believes in her work and values. I am truly appreciative of the positive impact she has had on my daughter.
With all love and appreciation.

I can recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustful, dedicated childminder. My daughter enjoys going to her house, she's become more confident, her social skills and vocabulary have improved as well. Anna does loads of creative things with children. She is flexible with regard to swapping childminding days as and when. I really like that every Friday, I get photos of their weekly activities. Anna created a warm, friendly environment for children to play, and her house is very clean.

Anna has been a wonderful babysitter for our daughter Klara, who is 2.5 years old. Anna lives nearby and has been incredibly reliable. She not only looks after Klara but also helps her develop and perfect her skills. Klara always goes to Anna's with a smile on her face and comes back just as happy. There is great communication between us, and we feel fully informed about everything. Klara attends three times a week, but even when there are any changes to the schedule, Anna is always flexible and accommodating. We highly recommend her!

My son is attending since September 2023. From the very first day he didn't want to go home. He is always happy, smiley, he has progressed so much since he started. I am so grateful that I can leave my son with such a great childminder with a full confidence he will be taken care off. Thank You 💙 Florins Mum

From the day we met Anna we knew that she will be the best and only to look after our son. She took the time to get to know him by asking about his interests and personality and from day one engage with him and that shows she truly cares about every child like her own. My son really liked her and enjoy every day he was with Anna as she is loving and caring and he learn so much in the short time he was there (as only summer time before preschool) that I always be grateful for that exceptional care she provided. Anna is the BEST ❤️

Anna is such a great person and my little boy loves and enjoy his time with her. Her setting is clean and everything is well organized. My boy enjoys being outdoor so her garden is such a great place for him to have lot of fun and educational activities.
I’m very much at peace when working knowing my little one and safely taken care of.

As working and studying parents with two young boys (4 and 2 years old), we needed to find a caregiver whom we could trust to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our children while also encouraging their growth and development. When we met Anna and visited her place in October 2022 we immediately knew that we had found someone special.
Anna is an exceptional Childminder who truly cares about the children. She took the time to get to know each of our boys individually, asking about their interests and personalities, and making an effort to engage with them in a meaningful way.
One of the things we appreciate most about Anna is her way of communication. It's important for us to know what our children are doing throughout the day, and Anna provides regular updates. She is always prompt to respond to any questions or concerns we may have, and she values open and honest communication.
Anna's creativity is another aspect of her work that we greatly appreciate. She is constantly coming up with new and exciting activities for the children to do, from arts and crafts projects to imaginative play scenarios. Our boys are always happy to visit Anna, and they enjoy the learning and playing process. We are happy to see them growing under Anna's care.
We are grateful to Anna for providing a safe and nurturing environment for our children. Overall, we cannot recommend her enough. She is a gifted caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure that the children in her care are happy and thriving. We feel fortunate to have found her and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring childminder.

My little boy has been going to Anna’s for a while now and he absolutely loves it. He is always so excited to go and see her and all the other children, talking about them when he comes home and what he’s been doing constantly 💜
She is fantastic at all aspects of what she does, from learning to activities and cute little nature walks. my son has learned so much from her and I will forever be grateful.
Her setting is amazing, every childs dream. Arthur will miss the dinosaurs 🦕 and animals and of course all of you.
She also gives us lovely pictures of what our little ones have been up to, which is my highlight of the week.
I recommend Anna to everyone and trust her with everything, so lucky we found you!!

My son has been with Anna since he was 8 months old, he is now 4 & a half & ready to start his journey at Primary School thanks to Anna. I honestly couldn’t of asked for a better childminder, he’s learnt so much & I’m extremely proud. Anna’s setting is fun & exciting. They learn new things constantly, go on adventures & she’s ever so friendly. So easy to talk to about any worries or concerns & will always help out when possible. I can’t recommend Anna enough - by far the best. Superstar.

Anna is a wonderful childminder. I had approached a number of childminders trying to find one I felt comfortable leaving my 14 month old daughter with. As soon as I met Anna an saw her set up my heart was set. She is a loving, warm and fun person, who my daughter just loves, she has wonderful and in door set up, with lots of toys, books and posters! She always has plenty of fun activities to entertain and teach the children, I'm always excited to see what creations my little girl brings home. Anna provides feed back every day regarding eating, sleeping, playing and how her day has been as well as send pictures of all the awesome things she has been up to. Anna also feeds my daughter delicious healthy dinners and sends me a monthly menu to keep me in the know. Very happy and grateful to have Anna look after my little girl, she is just amazing!

When we were looking for childcare for our 13 months old daughter when I was to return to work we were nervous and looked at several options. The moment we stepped into Anna's house we knew that she was the one. Anna has a bubbly and caring nature; a lovely family and a house with positive and warm atmosphere. She created a wonderful
play area at her house and garden, stocked with lots of toys. Kids are always engaged in different activities (including plenty of outdoor) and doing something creative. My little one is really happy there and has such a fun time. But the most important thing for me is that she feels safe, well looked after and I always go to work with piece of mind. I'm happy that we chose Anna as our childminder and I would highly recommend her!

Anna is a loving, caring and approachable person. She looks after our 2.5 yo son like she would look after her own child.
The variety of activities she provides for children is just amazing.
She is helpful, flexible and always willing to help and change agreed arrangements if needed with the short notice.
Our son is happy to be with Anna and he is learning new things each day. We are provided with daily feedback an photos of what he have done each day.
Dedication and care that Anna provides is beyond highest standards.
I wish every parent looking for a childminder to be able to find someone like Anna xxx

I have found Anna to be an extremely capable individual. She has a wide breadth of experience in looking after children and always made us feel confident in her ability to look after and care for our sons. This was important to me because I have two under two and Anna was our first experience of child care. Anna is excellent at planning activities for the children, with daily activities such as playgroups and crafts. She also takes the children on a wide range of activities and visits throughout the day.I cannot thank you enough for all your support.I could not have wished for a more professional, caring and dedicated childminder. I will miss you and your family as much as the boys will.

I know Anna since March 2019. I feel really lucky to have Anna as my son's childminder. She is very friendly, loving and the most caring person I have met. My son who is only 3 years old feel really safe in her care. She does lots of activities and also updates me about my son's progress. She helped me potty train my son as well. I would highly recommend her.

Anna is absolutely amazing & I would 10/10 recommend to anyone & everyone.
My son has been with Anna in her setting for a year now. He was 8 months when I first went back to work & I was so worried because he was so little but Anna made all my doubts & worries go away within weeks of him being with her. Anna records absolutely everything to do with your child, with photos, a diary & verbally.
My son is now 19 months & he say a lot of words, some sentences, he can count to three & he knows how to sing ‘twinkle twinkle little star’ thanks to Anna. All the photos I see of my child week by week whilst I’ve been at work makes my heart burst with joy. He is extremely happy with Anna and the day to day activities he does.
Anna is an absolute star.

My son has been going to Anna for 2 years. He started out a very shy and timid boy but has come on leaps and bounds with Anna working with him, he is now a very confident social child with impeccable manors and knowledge of numeracy, letters and the safety of the outside world. We will be very sorry to have to leave Anna in September when he starts school full time, he has grown very close to Anna and is always excited and happy when he knows he is going to her for the day. Thank you so much Anna for all your hard work with him, you are truly amazing with the patience of a saint! We would recommend any parent to choose you for your professionalism and your care and all your hard work with the children. Thanks to you our son is starting school with a wider knowledge and above target standards for all his age requirements.
