I offer outings to the park, toddler groups, music and movement or arts & crafts, baking computer or board games, Basketball, Cricket, Football or Tennis – whatever the child is interested in I will try my best to keep them happy.

My Experience

Started as a Childminder in October 1990, I am now working as a Nanny coming to the childs home rather than working from mine, I am currently available to take in and collect from any setting , I have run toddler groups and been very involved in the Schools and local community over the years.

Therese stepped in to cover childcare for my one-year old for a few weeks while his usual carer was on holiday. She was excellent with her communication and talking through everything with me in advance, including many things I hadn't thought of. She has years of experience and quickly calmed any nerves I had about leaving my child with someone new. She kept my toddler active and exploring new things and he was clearly very comfortable with her in a short space of time.

It was lovely to look after your little boy. He was an absolute delight, thank you for recognising my years of experience, your child was always happy, enjoying the little local parks and the walks when we saw the ducklings, the communication on both sides was excellent and the trust you have in my service is truly appreciated, thank you for a nice review after two mornings a week for 3 weeks over the summer months, my servce was properly tested I look forward to working with you again with regatds to the care of your son, kind regards Thérèse

I really don’t like leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately I feel I need to leave an honest one. We had booked Therese for six hours to look after our 8-month-old baby, but when we arrived I didn’t feel the environment was safe or clean enough to leave a crawling baby. There was cat food on the floor, as well as small items within reach, and the floors did not appear to have been cleaned. We therefore made the difficult decision not to leave our baby. We also lost the full amount we had paid, not just the deposit. Based on our experience, I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending Therese for the care of young babies.

I am sorry you felt this way, pleae read other reviews, I am set up as a nanny to look after children in their homes, this is clear on my profile, you did leave your baby in my environment which was clean, the cat food on the floor was moved imediately which was in the kitchen not a room that would have been used at all, when booking a service the deposit is paid and when the parent is happy the remainder is paid as my time has been booked, you left the extra payment and have now decided as you are not ready to leave your baby with anybody other than your mother I am sure nobody would have pleased you

We’re very happy with the childcare that Thérèse has provided for our 11 month old. It’s been reassuring to know that our son was being looked after by an experienced childminder who takes the role seriously. The service has been both flexible and reliable. Her informative feedback has been much appreciated. Our son has been happy throughout his time with Thérèse which we’re both very thankful for.
