My husband and I are so happy to have found Filareti. She has looked after our child since he turned 1 last summer and it’s amazing to see how much he learns and grows there. He is very happy in her home, with her son and of course the little friends he has made there.
Filareti is such a caring and personable childminder who really sees to every child’s individual needs and competences. She always takes them to fun playgroups and outings, or organises creative activities at home.
We feel really calm and confident whenever our child is with Filareti, and we could not recommend here services more!
Our 2 year old boy is with Filareti for about a year now. We are are really excited with the work she is doing with him. He developed from baby to toddler in the best possible environment. Filareti really knows what she is doing and has studied her craft extensively. Our child loves being with Filareti and his friends there and the signs of the optimal mental and physical development he is getting, are evident! Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed!
We have had the incredible good fortune of having Filareti as our childminder. She is warm, nurturing, and truly cares about the children she looks after. Our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her. She looks forward going to her home and always comes back happy and full of stories about the really enjoyable and educational activities they've done together.
Filareti goes above and beyond to create a safe, stimulating, and loving environment. She follows the home learning curriculum to organise creative, educational activities that keep children of different ages engaged and excited to learn. Whether it's arts and crafts, outdoor play, vocabulary learning, story telling, cooking... there's always something special carefully planned.
Communication with Filareti is fantastic. She offers a very comprehensive debrief after minding our daughter and with our permission shares photos and videos of the activities they have done together during the day. We always know what our daughter has been up to, from nap length, to toilet trips, food eaten and activities completed. Filareti excels at being equally professional and loving. My daughter considers her a reference person, she offers attachment, education, sympathy and extraordinary care in a wonderful environment (both indoors and outdoors). We leave for work reassured that our daughter is in the best hands.
Something that really sets Filareti apart in addition to her genuine passion for childcare is her strong academic and professional background in child studies – philosophy, pedagogy and psychology. She treats her children like they're part of her own family and provides individualised attention to their needs. We consider her family too!
I cannot recommend Filareti enough: professional, kind, invested in the wellbeing and development of her children, nurturing, respectful, offering attachment. I could be writing for days! Filareti is simply the best and we feel so incredibly fortunate to have found her.
It is so comforting to know how happy Daniel is at Filareti’s. He runs to her every morning with a big cuddle and kiss and you can see they have a special connection. It is peace of mind for every parent to have that home away from home feeling. Filareti is fantastic at communicating and documenting their variety of learning and exploring. She is so personable and kind and I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful care giver.
Filareti has been looking after our little 15 month boy for 7 months and he loves it!
Filareti is extremely gentle and caring with our boy, he always looks forward to going. She is very organised with weekly themes like fire prevention, traffic awareness and space to name a few.
We love receiving weekly updates, videos and photos of what our little boy has been up to - from crafts, cooking, gardening and playing. - it’s lovely to see him smiling away.
My first and deepest worry was how Abdullah is going to settle. But after first week I saw amazing differences in his confidence. It’s been 8/9 months Abdullah has been going for full time. He also gets up to get ready on Saturday/Sunday. That just shows how much love and care he receives from Filareti. She’s more than carrying person. Everything written in her profile just gets better when you meet her and before you know it, it’s like you got extension to your family. Her efforts to take kids to playgroups outdoor activities play vital roll into child’s upbringing. If you are lucky you’ll get place because she’s the best.
My daughter Ada has been going to Filareti’s regularly for 6 months now. She started when she was just 6 months old and Filareti was so great with her. She was very attentive and helped Ada to feel safe and settled when she was there. Ada has developed so much and Filareti is great at giving her the time and space to try new things. Her home is very welcoming with lots of great activities for the kids. She also has a large garden and spends as much time as possible outside and takes the kids to the park. As a first time mum I felt nervous leaving Ada with anyone, but I completely trust Filareti and she is so great with Ada. I highly recommend!
My son is in Filareti's home from time to time. He is 6 and loves to go to her service. She create great place for children. Every time I'm sure his day is full of indoor and outdoor activities. We created album with pictures only from her service.
Filareti has lovely, good size home. She is open person and children quickly attach to her. I never had problems with comunication. I highly recommend her service.
We’ve been taking our 2.5yo to Filareti’s for a few months now and we are very happy with the care and services we have received. Filareti has a good learning schedule with each week having a pre-organised theme, e.g., firefighters, snow, etc and a well-thought out programme during the day with free play included. She offers a great range of snacks during the day and has a lovely playroom and a beautiful big garden. Most importantly, Filareti managed to develop a warm relationship with our daughter and she has clearly considered carefully our little girl’s personality, needs and preferences to make her time there most comforting and fun (especially as our daughter has some level of separation anxiety). What really filled me with confidence about our choice for part of the week is the marked difference in my little one’s face and reactions when she hears that it is the day for Filareti versus her nursery. We get pics with how their day has been at the end of the day, which is also very re-assuring. Clean, smoke-free place. Altogether I would strongly recommend!
My daughter is 8 years old and loves going to Filareti’s 2 days a week. She has created a positive attachment with not only Filareti but her family also. My daughter suffered a bleed in the brain at 6 weeks old and although she is a healthy, fully capable 8 year old I have only ever trusted a handful of people to look after her. I originally met up with a few childminders and was beginning to loose hope until I found Filareti, I knew within the first few settle sessions that she was perfect for our family. She teaches my daughter valuable life lessons, shows her kindness and is such an important part of our lives now. I’m always sent pictures of their adventures in the park or in the house. Always welcomed with a smile and lovely conversations about how their day has been and life in general. My daughter sings her praises and thinks she is just the best. Writing this review is bitter sweet, I wish we could have her all to ourselves but she has so much love to give that any family would be lucky to have her.
