Amazing childminder!

Reviewed

Teresa has been taking care of our daughter for past two years, since she turned one. We have interviewed few nannies and childminders before but the moment we met Teresa we knew she would take good care of our little one. We committed to the place as soon as we finished the meeting. It just felt very natural. Her setting feels very warm and homey and her sons are very good with young children. Great location as well.

Teresa uses an app for keeping us updated. This had been a great source of daily reasurring for us as I would get phone notification with pictures or their movement so now and then I could look what they are up to which is a lovely thing when you are back at work.

She is also very flexible around drop offs and pick ups and had been an absolute star being able to drop our daughter off at our place when I had knee injury etc.

Settling period was absolute breeze and our daughter, even though was never left before with anyone else but us, had absolutely no anxiety or any kind of stress related to placement at childminding setting. She in fact made great friends there and I think that she learnt how to interact with other kids.

Teresa takes them daily into the community to various stay&plays, making the transition to childcare very natural as they attended the same settings that we did when I was on maternity leave.

Our daughter received plenty one-to-one with Teresa and really likes her sons and their small dog is her absolute favourite animal in the world.

Our daughter spent lovely 2 years with Teresa and she will miss her dearly. We planned for our daughter to stay with Teresa until school age and the only reason we had to hand notice is that together with her we decided that since all her little friends are moving to nurseries and she is now surrounded by babies, she would benefit from more interactions with peers her own age in nursery/play group. This also was suggested by Teresa as she saw our daughter missing out on interactions with children her age, which shows how much she cares about their happiness. Very highly recommended!

To sum up Teresa provides very high quality care to the children and I highly recommend her! If ever having more children, she will be my first point of contact!
