My Summary
About Me
Hi thanks for taking the time to read my profile.
I am a very experienced Ofsted registered childminder and a married mum of a 16 year old son. I have 15 years experience as a childminder caring for children from birth to secondary school and 16 years experience as a mum. I have all the relivant training required as a childminder and am always looking to improve with more training. My most valuable being through my experiences caring for children over the last 15 years. I offer a loving secure fun enviroment which is very homely, like a home from home experience, but with activities you might expect from a nursery, i encourage learning and development through play guided by the latest EYFS and offer a range of activities and tools to support this, lots of creative play, physical play, musical play, story time etc, as well as lots of outside play exploring the enviroment. I also arrange lots of trips out to the zoo, seaside, farms etc at no additional charge. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me

My daughter loves coming to Theresa’s.
Always enjoys the activities put on and is always smiley and happy being dropped off/picked up.
I’m also grateful how helpful Theresa has been to me as a parent with a change of job and hours etc. Very accommodating.

Teresa is a very professional caring childminder... our daughter started at 1 year old and has spent a year so far enjoying going to see Teresa and her little friends she has made...
She has made cards for occasions and enjoyed using the paint ...
I trust Teresa explicitly and our daughter has formed a lovely bond with her which we are pleased about!
Teresa is very reliable and has never called in sick ... we are looking forward to the next few years with her ... thankyou Teresa!!
