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!

My daughter is 8 years old and loves going to Filareti’s 2 days a week. She has created a positive attachment with not only Filareti but her family also. My daughter suffered a bleed in the brain at 6 weeks old and although she is a healthy, fully capable 8 year old I have only ever trusted a handful of people to look after her. I originally met up with a few childminders and was beginning to loose hope until I found Filareti, I knew within the first few settle sessions that she was perfect for our family. She teaches my daughter valuable life lessons, shows her kindness and is such an important part of our lives now. I’m always sent pictures of their adventures in the park or in the house. Always welcomed with a smile and lovely conversations about how their day has been and life in general. My daughter sings her praises and thinks she is just the best. Writing this review is bitter sweet, I wish we could have her all to ourselves but she has so much love to give that any family would be lucky to have her.

Filareti has been looking after our 2 year old son since September on a Mon-Fri 9-5 basis while we both work.
Filareti has a son the same age as ours, they have become great friends and it is great to see them learn, share and gain social experience together.
The kids schedule is fun, varied and learning based - it is good to know they are not just being sat in front of a tv!
Each morning the kids help prepare their fruit and snacks, followed by a walk over the park with scooters/bikes and the dog. Lunch, then normally followed by nap/quiet time.
There are weekly themed activities and arts and crafts. We often get painting or art projects when our son comes home in the evening.
The setting is safe and in a quiet street. The back garden is a good size for playing outdoors and is secured so the kids can’t escape!
Initially, as when going anywhere new, our son would cry when being dropped off - now he throws his jacket off on arrival and smiles and waves from the window. He is happy when we pick him up and he tells us about his day. Filareti also teaches the kids some Greek.
In the evening Filareti sends a summary and any photo/videos from the day - normally of a new discovery over the park.
Filareti is excellent and very well organised. When our son is there I feel that I can concentrate on work, knowing that he is being well looked after and cared for.
Highly recommended.

Filareti has been taking care of my little girl for the last 2 months. My daughter goes there once a week.
Filareti is very organised, patient, kind, thorough and ensures the kids are safe and entertained.
In the morning they have their healthy snacks consisting of fruit, crackers and anything nutrional.
Then they go to the park daily for a nice walk, the kids can run or take their scooters/bikes. They play in the playground and a lot of the times they might pick up leaves or other items from nature to use later in different art and craft projects.
On their return home they have their lunch, followed by either a nap or quiet time.
Kids get a lot of free time to play either inside or outside in the garden. They also have educational activities, with a weekly theme.
At the end of the day Filareti always sends a summary along with photographs.
My little girl is always excited to be going over and has a fantastic time. I feel the environment is very secure, safe and educational. I never worry about anything.
