Filomena has taken care of my daughter since May for two full days and since Sep during after-school hours and holidays and I find her care excellent. What struck me when I was looking around for a childminder was her deep understanding and knowledge about children. And after 8 months with her, what I can add about her is that she is very responsible and children come first to her. She understands parents' needs and can be flexible when needed, which is very important for me.

Under her care, my daughter flourished from a little toddler who didn't talk much to a proper pre-school girl who is confident to talk to anyone. She has grown from someone who had never held a pencil to someone who can write all the alphabets, her name and all the numbers and can identify most of them. She has also become close friends to the other children at Filomena's whom she is delighted to meet at the school as most of them go the same school.

Her facilities are excellent and my child is always well fed. She is also taken outdoors to shops and parks depending on the weather.

I would not hesitate to recommend Filomena to anyone who is considering her for their child.
