Filareti's Reviews

Caring and reliable childminder

Filareti has been looking after our 2 year old son since September on a Mon-Fri 9-5 basis while we both work.

Filareti has a son the same age as ours, they have become great friends and it is great to see them learn, share and gain social experience together.

The kids schedule is fun, varied and learning based - it is good to know they are not just being sat in front of a tv!

Each morning the kids help prepare their fruit and snacks, followed by a walk over the park with scooters/bikes and the dog. Lunch, then normally followed by nap/quiet time.

There are weekly themed activities and arts and crafts. We often get painting or art projects when our son comes home in the evening.

The setting is safe and in a quiet street. The back garden is a good size for playing outdoors and is secured so the kids can’t escape!

Initially, as when going anywhere new, our son would cry when being dropped off - now he throws his jacket off on arrival and smiles and waves from the window. He is happy when we pick him up and he tells us about his day. Filareti also teaches the kids some Greek.

In the evening Filareti sends a summary and any photo/videos from the day - normally of a new discovery over the park.

Filareti is excellent and very well organised. When our son is there I feel that I can concentrate on work, knowing that he is being well looked after and cared for.

Highly recommended.

Great childminder - highly recommend

Filareti has been taking care of my little girl for the last 2 months. My daughter goes there once a week.
Filareti is very organised, patient, kind, thorough and ensures the kids are safe and entertained.
In the morning they have their healthy snacks consisting of fruit, crackers and anything nutrional.
Then they go to the park daily for a nice walk, the kids can run or take their scooters/bikes. They play in the playground and a lot of the times they might pick up leaves or other items from nature to use later in different art and craft projects.
On their return home they have their lunch, followed by either a nap or quiet time.
Kids get a lot of free time to play either inside or outside in the garden. They also have educational activities, with a weekly theme.
At the end of the day Filareti always sends a summary along with photographs.
My little girl is always excited to be going over and has a fantastic time. I feel the environment is very secure, safe and educational. I never worry about anything.
