Tessa is an outstanding childminder and both my husband and I have no reservation in recommending her. We feel so lucky to have found Tessa.

We have been so impressed and happy with how our daughter settled immediately. Our daughter is always excited and happy when dropped off and picked up which didn’t happen with her nursery.

Tessa creates a warm and safe environment and our daughter is coming on leaps and bounds! I love the way Tessa interacts with our daughter, getting down to her level and has really got to know her, which is the most important thing to us.

As well as creating a safe place which our daughter feels secure in, Tessa also creates a wide range of fun and educational activities. They are themed, so thought through and very organised. Creative, messy and sensory play, art and crafts, musical play and singing, cooking, reading, gardening and planting, loads of outdoor play as well as daily outings to all sorts of places including, farms, museums, the zoo, the woods, soft play and playgrounds. Our daughter has such varied and interesting days, all different and we are kept up to date twice daily with her activities and progress through messages, photos and videos.

I can honestly say we feel so fortunate to have found Tessa, she is a wonderful childminder.

Thank you Tessa xx
