Consuelo

Amazing Childminder

Consuelo cared for our daughter from the age of 11 months to 2.5 years. We carefully selected her after seeing around five others and knew from the outset that she would provide the best possible care for our daughter - and that she did.

Our daughter loved attending this setting and flourished with the activities and opportunities on offer. These were always varied and aligned with best practice for Early Years children. As teachers ourselves we recognised the dedication and thought that Consuelo gave to planning a wide variety of learning experiences. These included cookery, development of fine and gross motor skills, language development, teamwork and problem solving. The children were always engaged in something different each day, from childminder groups to the park/library and soft play. Her curriculum covers topical themes such as Chinese New Year. She fosters independence and encourages a varied, healthy diet by providing delicious home cooked meals.

She maintained excellent communication with us through the day via photos and messages on WhatsApp and a detailed log of each day on the Tapestry platform.

Her daughter Valentina is excellent with the children, providing a good role model when playing with them.

She is well qualified and keeps up to date with training that is both mandatory and of interest to her.

I would highly recommend her to any parent.

The best of the best! 👌

Consuelo is truly an outstanding chilminder who has her whole heart in what she is doing.
She looked after my 1,5 year old son for over 6 months and from the very first moment it was obvious that I chose the perfect childminder for my son. He has developed several skills under her care and loved going to her setting.
Consuelo is not in this for the money, childcare is truly her passion!
Consuelo was flexible and stood by us during some very tough times, helping me out as a single mum whenever she could. She was an absolute blessing. She always went the extra mile for us.
Sadly we are moving from the area, and our next childminder will have VERY big shoes to fill!
We sincerely love Consuelo and will miss her dearly.

Our son loved it here!

We’ve had peace of mind with our son’s care over the past two years because Consuelo truly is a passionate childminder, professional, caring, generous and understanding. She has provided a warm and assuring environment, nutritious meals, a variety of fun and developmental activities in and out doors, she maintains high standards of hygiene in her home and she has been precautious during the Covid-19 pandemic.

She’s also captured moments that she shares so we’ve not missed out on those lovely moments. It’s been a bonus for us since she is fluent in French encouraging our son with familiar words. We are also grateful for her tips when we needed them.

Our son has certainly enjoyed every day in her care and we are saddened that the time has come to move on. For parents looking for reliable childcare, we recommend looking no further!

Wonderful!

Consuelo is a wonderful childminder. She has looked after my son for the past two years, and has been caring, enthusiastic, flexible, and has helped us out so many times over and above.

She is very organised, and as well as caring and playing with the children she ensures that they are developing in line with the early years curriculum. She does lots of activities with them - both craft and games at her lovely home and with outings. Although these have been limited to the different parks around the area, prior to COVID she would also take them to playgroups and other outings. We are very sad that our time with Consuelo has come to an end, and would recommend her very highly!

One happy confident boy - Outstanding childminder

Our son has been in Consuelo’s care for the last two years and has thrived there. He took a long time to settle in as he has a very strong bond with myself. She was patient and consoling and eventually he settled and grew day by day in confidence.
When deciding on care for him, I preferred the smaller surrounding of a childminder for my little one and I think this has beared fruit and built his confidence, learnt to take turns and share and he leaves Consuelo completely potty trained, dressing himself and putting on his own shoes.
Her house is always immaculate, with a great selection of toys and garden filled with lovely activities. She cooks wonderful organic meals for them and they are given a freshly squeezed juice on arrival.
Daily she plans an outing, whether it been the woods, library, museums or the playground so they get some fresh air and exercise. At the end of each day we are given a comprehensive report on his days activities and accomplishments and great photos to keep.
We are sad to say goodbye but our little boy is growing up and has to move on but I am sure we will keep in touch as there is now a huge bond and I daily get advice from my son on what Consuelo would do in this or that instance.
