My Summary
Children’s Home Childminding Service
About Me
My name is Filareti, I am married and have a kind 5 year-old boy, named George who goes to primary one and loves spending time with children.
We live and work in Bishopbriggs, spend our mornings in parks, exploring nature or using our community resources such as playgroups, local libraries, museums etc. I have great experience with babies and I love interacting with children, making games and fun activities.
Everything we learn is through play. I use observations to identify the preferences and schemas the wee ones are into and each week we have different themed activities tailored to every child’s need and developmental stage.
Our house is a nurturing, calm and respectful environment where everyone can participate in everyday practical life activities, have fun and learn.
I collaborate closely with parents and carers and together we create the best environment for the children to feel safe and flourish.
I have one bachelor degree in pedagogy and psychology, also trained from Maria Montessori's Institute in London and currently undertaking my second bachelor degree in Early Learning and childcare with the University of Islands and Highlands.
I am registered with the Scottish Childminding Association and with Care Inspectorate
I have a 5 grade report from Care Inspectorate which is available to be read online.
My Experience
• I currently study for a BA in Early Learning and Childcare with University of Islands and Highlands. This degree is based on studying while implementing the practices into my setting
• I hold a BA in Pedagogy and Psychology. I worked closely with psychologists in teaching children with learning difficulties, cooperating and collaborating with them using strategies of remedial teaching
• I worked as an educator in the Hellenic Society for Disabled Children (ELEPAP) using pedagogic methods according to their developmental stage (4-6 year olds)
• I worked as a remedial high school teacher
• I have gained great experience from being a mum and I am delighted to collaborate with parents/carers to provide a home from home service

Filareti has been looking after our little 15 month boy for 7 months and he loves it!
Filareti is extremely gentle and caring with our boy, he always looks forward to going. She is very organised with weekly themes like fire prevention, traffic awareness and space to name a few.
We love receiving weekly updates, videos and photos of what our little boy has been up to - from crafts, cooking, gardening and playing. - it’s lovely to see him smiling away.
My first and deepest worry was how Abdullah is going to settle. But after first week I saw amazing differences in his confidence. It’s been 8/9 months Abdullah has been going for full time. He also gets up to get ready on Saturday/Sunday. That just shows how much love and care he receives from Filareti. She’s more than carrying person. Everything written in her profile just gets better when you meet her and before you know it, it’s like you got extension to your family. Her efforts to take kids to playgroups outdoor activities play vital roll into child’s upbringing. If you are lucky you’ll get place because she’s the best.
My daughter Ada has been going to Filareti’s regularly for 6 months now. She started when she was just 6 months old and Filareti was so great with her. She was very attentive and helped Ada to feel safe and settled when she was there. Ada has developed so much and Filareti is great at giving her the time and space to try new things. Her home is very welcoming with lots of great activities for the kids. She also has a large garden and spends as much time as possible outside and takes the kids to the park. As a first time mum I felt nervous leaving Ada with anyone, but I completely trust Filareti and she is so great with Ada. I highly recommend!
My son is in Filareti's home from time to time. He is 6 and loves to go to her service. She create great place for children. Every time I'm sure his day is full of indoor and outdoor activities. We created album with pictures only from her service.
Filareti has lovely, good size home. She is open person and children quickly attach to her. I never had problems with comunication. I highly recommend her service.
We’ve been taking our 2.5yo to Filareti’s for a few months now and we are very happy with the care and services we have received. Filareti has a good learning schedule with each week having a pre-organised theme, e.g., firefighters, snow, etc and a well-thought out programme during the day with free play included. She offers a great range of snacks during the day and has a lovely playroom and a beautiful big garden. Most importantly, Filareti managed to develop a warm relationship with our daughter and she has clearly considered carefully our little girl’s personality, needs and preferences to make her time there most comforting and fun (especially as our daughter has some level of separation anxiety). What really filled me with confidence about our choice for part of the week is the marked difference in my little one’s face and reactions when she hears that it is the day for Filareti versus her nursery. We get pics with how their day has been at the end of the day, which is also very re-assuring. Clean, smoke-free place. Altogether I would strongly recommend!
