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.
