A huge recommendation here for Annie the Nannie, based in Stoke Charity (between Micheldever and Sutton Scotney), who came to my rescue and looked after my little (noisy) one who is unable to sit silently through an hour long carol service!

She works under “childminder” (legal reasons) but is a wonderful, caring, experienced nanny who will look after all ages of children in a Mary Poppins kind of way (and runs all day holiday clubs for all ages too)!

She has a new website coming, but her phone number in the mean time is 07768 864 635 / 01962 676 102. Do pm for any references – I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Also big recommendation from me, Annie used to have P for me when she was teeny.

I heartily agree – Annie has looked after my little boy for over 2 years now and I couldn’t be happier with her care. He loves being there and they always get up to lots of interesting and educational things with wholesome food and emphasis on manners and courtesy.

Annie the Nannie offers a versatile approach to childcare with an emphasis on outdoor learning through fun, adventure and exploration. Small, individually guided groups enable the children to flourish in a relaxed environment whilst being challenged and fulfilled. Traditional values, standards and principles form the bedrock enabling freedom within secure boundaries.
