My Summary
About Me
Welcome to Terryann’s YASHA Childminding Setting – A Warm, Inclusive Home-from-Home
Hello! I am Terryann Dennis, an Ofsted-registered and Childminding UK fully qualified childminder based in Putney (SW15). As a mother myself to my 2 wonderful sons, I know first hand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care. My setting is built around the same warmth, attentiveness, and love that I give my own family, blended with high-level professional standards to ensure every child feels secure, understood, and inspired to learn.
Why Families Choose My Setting Mother’s Intuition & Family Warmth: Being a mum to my son grounds everything I do. I understand the emotional milestones, the importance of predictable routines, and the reassurance parents need throughout the day. In my setting, your child isn't just supervised—they become part of a kind, close-knit home environment where they are truly cherished. Extensive SEND & Inclusive Experience: Through years of voluntary work with children facing Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and complex behavioural challenges, I have developed a child, adaptive approach to care. I understand that children process the world differently. Whether a child requires sensory-friendly activities, non-verbal communication aids, visual timetables, or calm emotional co-regulation, I meet every child where they are. Calm, High-Level Safety & Emergency Readiness: Alongside up-to-date Paediatric First Aid training (2025), I bring background experience handling critical emergency communications for the Metropolitan Police and clinical exposure with the NHS. Parents have complete peace of mind knowing that decisive decision-making, meticulous risk assessment, and safeguarding are second nature to me. Curiosity-Driven Early Learning: With a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Forensic Science and post-graduate studies in Health Sciences, I encourage young minds to question, explore, and discover. We spend our days exploring nature, conducting safe sensory experiments, enjoying story time, and building foundational literacy and numeracy through play. Open, Transparent Parent Partnership: Backed by years of operations and compliance leadership, I maintain clear routines and consistent daily communication, keeping you closely connected with photos, developmental milestones, and daily check-ins. Core Credentials Regulatory: Ofsted-Registered Childminder Childcare Qualification: Childminding UK Qualified Childminder Health & First Aid: Certified Paediatric First Aid (2025)
Academics: First-Class BSc (Hons) & MSc Studies Location: Hayward Gardens, Putney, London SW15
Whether you are looking for dedicated SEND support or a nurturing, stimulating home setting for your little one, I would love to connect. Visits to the setting are warmly welcomed!
