About Me

Hello, my name is Tess and welcome to Tess Tots. We are a warm and welcoming childcare setting dedicated to providing high-quality childcare in a safe, caring and stimulating environment.

We are a family-run setting based in Thornton Heath and take pride in creating a child-centred space where every child feels valued, supported and encouraged to learn through play and exploration.

At Tess Tots, we aim to provide a homely environment where children can grow in confidence, develop independence and build positive relationships while having fun.

We are here to help — Teach, Learn and Grow.

My Experience

I have many years of experience working with children of different ages and needs, and I am passionate about supporting children’s learning and development in a safe and nurturing environment.

Through my experience, I have developed strong skills in creating engaging activities, supporting children’s emotional wellbeing, encouraging independence and building positive relationships with both children and parents.

I enjoy helping children learn through play, creativity, outdoor experiences and everyday routines while ensuring they feel happy, secure and valued in my care.
