My Summary
About Me
I'm a OFSTED registered childminder, I decided to change my job to fit in with my family and it's something that I've always been passionate about, I have 2 children of my own 5 & 11 years old who attending school. I offer a warm, fun, exciting educational, welcoming setting; which is a secure, safe environment. The children will have access to our garden area which will have plenty of fun activities to do.
All our childcare sessions from breakfast club to after school activities and holiday club are designed and planned to give maximum opportunity to children to get extra help with their physical activities if they wish.
I offer a home from home setting and treat you children as if they were my own. I provide children and parents with structure, routine which gives the child the opportunity to grow into a unique boy or girl and to meet other children of different cultures & ages to help along their journeys with the time spent in my setting.
I am happy to assist each child with any additional needs, so that they can develop and growing to their full potential.
During school holidays, different exciting activities are arranged for the children including trips to places of which they will enjoy a variety of activities and outings to local groups during the week including the library, soft play areas, toddlers groups and Nature walks. We also enjoy plenty of play time at home. I have the main play room where children can play with things such as train tracks, cars, construction toys, painting, messy play, puzzles and of course the much loved role play, as well as plenty of board games for all ages,
( I do offer Tax free childcare scheme, which means you get a discount from the government when you sign up and pay into this account)
I have a childcare assistant to support the children in breakfast club, day care and after school club, that have also obtained a DBS Certificate, Paediatric First Aid and booked on to a safeguarding course.
I cover the following schools:
St Margaret Clitherow
Westglade Primary
Hawthorne Primary

Teresa is such a wonderful person , I was skeptical at first as my son has never been with anyone aside us before and she re- assured me even from the first day that he’s going to be fine . My son loved it from the 2nd day despite his attachment with us , he loved going , there are variety of activities they do , his speech has improved drastically , he has developed a lot faster than I expected, I will do this over and over again . I highly recommend
Thank you Teresa

Thank you Damilola for your kind words, I’m glad he enjoys attending my setting.
I honestly can’t think of anyone else who would love, care, and look after my children so well. She is part of our family now. Teresa provides outstanding care, I have 3 boys and she’s looked after all of them over the years. My last little baby boy Noah, often asks for Teresa over me! Heehee. She really does provide outstanding care. She always goes above and beyond. She helps me out, and makes sure my little boy is a happy soul. She has fun activities always planned, her schedule is jam ps led with educational resources and fun, library trips, soft plays, outings, parks, play groups! You name it, Teresa is doing it with the young kids. Lots of painting and playing and developing fine and gross motor skills. She’s an exceptional person too. I am so fond of Teresa, and so are all three of my boys. She really is one of a kind. I feel blessed that instead of big nursery classes, I found Teresa. The level of one to one she gives to each child is amazing and my Noah is incredibly happy, loved and settled. Outstanding support and care, thank you Teresa.

Thank you Sophia for the kind words, your son is part of the family.
Teresa has minded my son from 9 months old (now 2). I was so nervous due to him being such a young age, but he settled in right away. He loves going to Teresa’s and playing/doing activities. Teresa has always been so accommodating for last minute childcare changes/ extra days if needed and sends regular photos of my son and his activities, which is lovely to see! I wouldn’t send Hudson anywhere else!

Thank you, I’m glad that he feels happy in my setting.
Teresa has child minded my eldest, now 9 from around age 6/7 during half terms and now childminds my youngest (2) 3 days a week. They both enjoy their days at Teresa's. It's lovely that Teresa takes them out frequently to soft play, walks, play parks etc. Always doing activities at home if they don't go out due to rainy days. Huge back garden with plenty of space to play. I moved my youngest from nursery to Teresa and it's been the best decision I've made. A lot more involvement and getting out and about. Her speech and confidence has come on really well. I have never been let down by Teresa either, very reliable. The home is kept exceptionally clean and tidy. Thank you Teresa for all your hard work 💐

Thank you, for your kind comments, I’m glad that they’re both happy when they are at my setting.
My son and daughter have been with Teresa for many years now I wouldn't want them to go anywhere else, she provides a home from home for the children, she goes above and beyond to help. I couldn't recommend her more !
She's had my son since he was a baby and she is definitely part of our family, she has been a big influence in his growing and learning.
I couldn't ask for a better childminder.

Thank you Faye, it’s been a pleasure looking after your children, they’re a part of my family.
Teresa is caring, flexible and enthusiastic. It has really been a safe space away from home for my son since we started using her services. She provides lots of fun and creative activities which my son enjoys a lot and her flexibility is one which we appreciate so much. I wouldn’t fail to mention her crisp attention to hygiene and safety. We are glad to have found Teresa.

Thank you Vivian, I’m glad that I could help and that you are happy with the service I provide.
Teresa , has been a God send. Due to my child complex behaviours we have struggled to find somewhere where my child settles. But since joining tersea's she has made my child feel welcome and at home! She is also firm which is what my child needs. teresa has gone above and beyond which other childminders would not. always hot meals available also

Thanks Lisa, I’m glad that your child has settled and loves attending.
I needed emergency childcare, and Teresa was a god send. My little boy was settled within minutes and lived his time with her completely. I highly recommend. I truly appreciate this amazing woman and sending me updates throughout the day if needed. LO loved the environment and had no issues.

Thanks, you are welcome, it was a pleasure looking after your little boy and helping you out in emergency.
I was a bit worried about my boy settling in at Teresa's as we really loved his previous childcare setting but had to move suddenly. I initially needed Teresa's service for emergency childcare, but I ended up staying full-time!
The diversity of her setting is something I admire and always wanted for my children- a place where they can feel welcomed and see other kids from various walks of life. It's so lovely that my son calls her "Aunty"!
At pickups, my son always looks like he's had a fulfilled day and the other kids look happy.
Teresa documents their daily activities and takes lovely pictures too.
Another thing I appreciate is Teresa's flexibility and understanding- which are attributes of a true mother figure. Teresa is very welcoming and the kids seem to love her and her setting.
Once my girl asked why we have to drive over all these speed bumps to get to her brother's nursery, I said to her that's so her brother can still get mummy's loving care while mummy is at work:)

Thank for your kind comments, its much appreciated, it did take a few days for your son to settle but now he is well and truly settled.
Teresa is a very reliable childminder and has always been there since my baby was less than a year old. She often goes the extra mile and I highly recommend.
