My Summary
About Me
Ofsted Registered
I live in a terraced house in Richmond, close to North Sheen station and a 10 minute walk to Richmond Station.
I work with my two assistants, Ameesha and Anxhela. We cater only for children under 4 years.
We have a ratio of 1 adult to 3 children.
This ensures that your little ones receive the highest possible care.
We do not offer after school childcare. So, we would not be taking your children on lots of school pick ups and drop offs.
The setting has a large Astro turfed garden to ensure we can access the outside in all weathers. The garden contains a wealth of equipment such as; mud kitchen, ride on toys, bikes, scooters, ramps, slide, and a tuff tray.
We strive to offer a homely, fun and stimulating environment.
We have a purpose built log cabin which has been carefully designed as a designated playroom. Ramp access from the garden to the cabin, so that all children have free flow between the two areas.
Children will enjoy the outdoors daily this could be; in the garden, at the park or playground. We walk up into Richmond Park woodlands once a week whatever the weather, so that children can explore, collect nature items, listen, look and learn about wildlife and take safe risks.
We ensure that children have ample opportunities to participate in physical development, enjoy and experience both the changing seasons and changes in weather.
We will ensure your child is treated as an individual and with Respect.
Your child will enjoy a variety of activities each day to enhance their development. Some of these include sensory play, painting, baking, scissor skills, mark making and sticking.
In May 2019 I received the Makaton friendly award. I achieved 85 percent recall on 550 signs. I speak and sign with all children In my care to aid and enhance communication.

Hannah holds the gold standard for childminding practice. From her gorgeous, clean and stimulating setting, to the structured days of developmental learning through play, to her team of loving and nurturing helpers, we couldn't have imagined anyone better to trust with our son. We found Hannah when our little boy was 6 months old, and he's been with her until starting reception this year at a nearby school. To say she's become an extension of our family is an understatement! She 100% has become apart of our support system and truly loves our son and vice versa. When he was experiencing anxiety and separation troubles requiring extra management, she went out of her way to find a certified course dealing with exactly his troubles in order to manage it efficiently. She has met him at each one of his developmental criteria, and pushed him beyond to the next level, setting him up for success at school, his desire to learn, manners and overall demeanour. We love Hannah in a way we never expected to, and know she and her family will be in our lives for years to come. Thanks for everything you do.
We were lucky enough to get a space with Hannah for our daughter Emily who turned 1 in January. We saw quite a few childminders and as soon as we met Hannah she immediately stood out to us. She is an incredibly warm, vivacious and positive person - exactly the type of person we had envisaged caring for Emily but had struggled to find.
It’s fair to say that Hannah has exceeded our expectations in every way. We did a few settling in sessions but there was really no need. Emily obviously felt totally comfortable with Hannah and also her assistant Kelly straight away. This was a huge relief and made my return to work so much easier. Emily is always, without exception, excited to arrive at Hannah’s house (which we should add is set up perfectly for children with a lovely big garden and a beautiful garden room totally dedicated to the children) and she comes home at night so bubbly and happy. It’s a real joy to receive the photos that Hannah sends us through the day and to see Emily doing all sorts of fun and exciting activities with the other children and loving every minute of it! Hannah is so much more creative and energetic than we could ever dream to be!
Obviously the global pandemic has caused some really challenging times. Hannah has been so supportive throughout both personally and professionally and her communication as the government guidance has changed and evolved has been second to none.
We just feel so so lucky to have come across Hannah on this site and honestly could not imagine finding anyone that we would trust more to look after our daughter. We would not hesitate in recommending her. She is one in a million.
I saw a lot of childcare options before deciding, and Hannah was hands down the best.
She is everything you want in someone looking after your child - caring, patient, fun and encouraging.
She has made going back to work something I was dreading and terrified on, to something I was very happy and comfortable with. I have all the trust and comfort knowing my little boy - who was only 10months old when he started there - is happy and content throughout the day.
Hannah goes above and beyond with everything she does. Her WhatsApp’s throughout the day, her daily diary she sends home with him, the quarterly early years reviews and just even the verbal feedback everyday when I collect him.
My favourite moments are seeing them go for days trips to parks, farms, playgrounds or shows - this happens at least a few times a week which is so lovely to see the kids exploring the outdoors
Hannah’s house and garden is very well layed out and always in great condition - she takes care of her environment and it’s nice to see the kids happy and content playing. Toys are in good condition and kept clean too.
My sons learning has also progressed significantly, as Hannah is very observant of any new developments.
His social skills have moved on massively, thanks to her and the other kids he has around him.
His eating is way better, because of the variety and care she puts into her meals.
If I could pack up and move Hannah and the other kids with me, I would! The only reason we had to leave was we bought a home in Esher and it was no longer possible to send him there.
Would highly recommend Hannah to any of my family and friends
Hannah really has been an amazing childminder. Our daughter has been going to her since she was 18 months and will continue until she starts school next year.
The experience that Hannah has and her natural affinity with children of all ages really shines through. The individual care and attention she gives to each child in her care is very special. Her setting is a home from home and our daughter always skips to childcare on Hannah days.
I am kept constantly informed of her progress throughout the day and we receive a termly report which is highly comprehensive and gives key information on all aspects of our daughter’s development.
The setting is spotlessly clean and full of toys, books and Hannah has a huge garden full of outdoor activities. The children are taken out on trips and so much time and effort is taken to ensure each child is nurtured and cared for.
If there has ever been any concern over my daughter’s health I am informed immediately and trust 100% with all of her qualifications to look after her until such time that I can pick her up.
Her family are also a credit to her from her Mum and husband who both help out (both fully DBS) and her four boys are so caring with the children.
I can not recommend Hannah enough.
