Teresa has looked after my two boys from about 1 year old until they started school and they have been very happy with her.
When we first met, she created a relaxed atmosphere in her well set up home that my eldest immediately settled into. They both enjoyed playing inside and out as well as doing activities like playgroups, trips out to explore and singing. They met other children through her childminding contacts and made friends with children of different ages in her care.
Teresa is very kind and looked after them well. She is also patient and helped them develop into chatty, fun boys.

Teresa was our daughter’s childminder from the age of 9 months to 3 and a half years (after which she started preschool). She has always made us feel so comfortable leaving our girly with her and, as others have previously said, is a real home from home. Our daughter was very close to her and we intend on staying in touch! She has helped our daughter grow into a delightful and bright little girl. Highly recommend.

Teresa was our childminder over a continuous 12 year period, looking after our children from the age of six months up until the start of high-school.
During that time not only was Teresa persistently reliable in her role as childminder, but proved to be always on-hand during unforeseen family emergencies; she went out of her way to accommodate us at short notice and was extremely flexible.
Teresa's demeanour is a very warm and caring one and she provides an extremely welcoming and safe environment for the children. This showed in how comfortable our children were with her and how fondly they still refer to her. In addition, over the years we have gotten to know her family extremely well and treat them as part of ours.
We fully recommend Teresa to anybody in need of a childminder.

Teresa has minded both my son and my daughter for the last 5 years. As soon as I walked into her home I knew that this was the right choice and provided so much more love and care than a nursery could. I never felt any anxiety leaving the children with her and felt comforted knowing they were being loved when I couldn't be with them. Teresa provided them a safe and warm place to be and grow up in. When asked, my daughter's highlights were the lunches they had with Teresa and also all the snuggles.
Teresa went out of her way to cater for both my children when one started school and the other started pre-school in different locations. She got them to where they needed to be on time and was always there waiting for them with smiles when they came out.
Teresa catered for them as individuals and if they were feeling under the weather would just provide a warm place to be and of course administer loving cuddles.
It is only the fact both kids have started school that I will not be needing Teresa so much but the children are still keen to stay with her during holidays if necessary and already miss her.

Teresa has looked after my daughter since she was 6months old. As I am sure most new mums know, going back to work is tough, especially when they are only months old. Having said that, Teresa made this process so much easier as I knew my daughter was in good hands. Never has she been upset when I have dropped her off.
Teresa has the heart of gold, she is caring, loving and put me at ease straight away. My daughter was normally the last to be picked up, which she loved as she got Teresa’s 1 on 1 time, normally meaning cuddles on the sofa in the winter or singing/dancing in the garden in the summer.
Its only because of my daughter starting school and my work schedule changing that I no longer require childcare.
Also, was I able to use Teresa’s drive for my car and walk the 7min walk to Bromley South.
I honestly can say Teresa’s home has become my daughter’s home from home in the last 4 years, I would highly recommend her to anyone.
