I would like to say that I am so happy to find Teresa as a childminder for my kids. As my kids doesnt go often, they ask all the time when will be another day with Teresa. She is lovely person and she knows how to take care of kids. My son was so happy as he met her boys and he had a lovely time with them. My daughter was over the moon as Teresa played with her, gave her lots of activities. It was my first experience with childminder and I hope she will help me whenever I will need her. Thank you very much Teresa that I found you.

Teresa has been taking care of our son since he was 10 months and really made the delicate transition into his first form of childcare the best I could have possibly wished for. He settled very quickly and has been very happy and attached to her for the 8 months he is been under her lovely and attentive care. We have always felt confident and safe in her hands and have seen major developmental progress in our child, who was always encouraged, loved and supported by Teresa (and her two wonderful boys). We would have continued with her for sure if she hadn't decided to move out of London but are very happy for her and for the families who will have the privilege to get her support. We will miss her a lot!

Thankyou for your lovely kind review it was a pleasure to be part of Nico,s life and I especially loved seeing Nico grow and reach his milestones his a lovely little boy and myself and my boys will miss him very much.
We couldn't recommend Teresa enough. Our daughter Grace has been with her for over four months and has gone from strength to strength in terms of confidence and social skills. Teresa is tireless in terms of her activities and energy levels. she takes Grace to a range of stay and plays, library sessions etc and keep us regularly updated during the day. This has given us peace of mind throughout Grace's time with Teresa. Both her boys are so friendly and polite and make Grace feel like she is a member of the family. Teresa's home is well equipped and safe environment. She has been accommodating and flexible when we have had unforeseen work commitments. We are really sad she is moving out to Hertfordshire. Grace loves being in Teresa's care and we will all miss her!

Teresa is a fantastic childminder, and goes above and beyond to ensure the children in her care get the best possible care. Professional conscientious, warm and caring, We chose Teresa to care for our little boy from when he was just 7 month old after meeting lots of others, as she instantly made us feel welcome and reassured. Our little one settled in really quickly in her setting. We were particularly impressed by the range of activities she devised within the EYFS framework, which varied every week and focused on individual development milestones, and the regular updates on the Daily Connect app meant that level of reassurance continued throughout the time she cared for him. I learned a lot from her in terms of early years development, she’s a real expert with so much valuable experience. Her sons are a joy and have inherited her caring nature too, which our little boy really seemed to benefit from. You couldn’t choose a better childminder than Teresa.

Thankyou Amelia it was a pleasure to look after Otis and to play apart in his life and it was lovely to build a relationship with yourself.
Kind regards
Teresa
Teresa has been such a blessing for our little family. My husband and I do not have any family in the UK so when my husband was posted abroad we needed someone to help look after our little boy until his project was completed. We had never left our son in the care of anyone so were quite nervous about the idea. We needed have been worried! Teresa is AMAZING. She is so kind, warm and genuine, and has such a natural style looking after children. I cannot rate Teresa highly enough. Her two children are darlings and are so sweet with our son. I only wish we needed Teresa's services on a more regular basis since our son LOVES time in her care. I would highly recommend Teresa to anyone and hope to continue to have Teresa in our lives.

My husband and I feel so lucky and grateful that we found Teresa. She's looked after our toddler son since he was eight months old, and she treats him (and us!) like family.
When I drop Fred off (3–4 afternoons a week), I know I don't have to worry: he'll be loved and cared for, and he'll have the time of his life. Every day involves a huge assortment of outdoor activities, soft play and play dates with other childminders and their children – as well as arts, crafts, music and toys inside her warm and inviting home.
Teresa's two young sons are wonderful with Fred – and he loves them as much as he loves Teresa.
I really can't rave enough about Teresa. I don't know what we'd do without her, and I hope she knows how much we adore and appreciate her.

Teresa has been taking care of our daughter for past two years, since she turned one. We have interviewed few nannies and childminders before but the moment we met Teresa we knew she would take good care of our little one. We committed to the place as soon as we finished the meeting. It just felt very natural. Her setting feels very warm and homey and her sons are very good with young children. Great location as well.
Teresa uses an app for keeping us updated. This had been a great source of daily reasurring for us as I would get phone notification with pictures or their movement so now and then I could look what they are up to which is a lovely thing when you are back at work.
She is also very flexible around drop offs and pick ups and had been an absolute star being able to drop our daughter off at our place when I had knee injury etc.
Settling period was absolute breeze and our daughter, even though was never left before with anyone else but us, had absolutely no anxiety or any kind of stress related to placement at childminding setting. She in fact made great friends there and I think that she learnt how to interact with other kids.
Teresa takes them daily into the community to various stay&plays, making the transition to childcare very natural as they attended the same settings that we did when I was on maternity leave.
Our daughter received plenty one-to-one with Teresa and really likes her sons and their small dog is her absolute favourite animal in the world.
Our daughter spent lovely 2 years with Teresa and she will miss her dearly. We planned for our daughter to stay with Teresa until school age and the only reason we had to hand notice is that together with her we decided that since all her little friends are moving to nurseries and she is now surrounded by babies, she would benefit from more interactions with peers her own age in nursery/play group. This also was suggested by Teresa as she saw our daughter missing out on interactions with children her age, which shows how much she cares about their happiness. Very highly recommended!
To sum up Teresa provides very high quality care to the children and I highly recommend her! If ever having more children, she will be my first point of contact!

Teresa has looked after my son (Ben) for the last 14 months, from shortly after his first birthday, 4 days per week after I returned to work. We originally found Teresa as temporary 6-week cover while we waited for a nursery place for Ben but he settled so well with her (and not very well at nursery), and my husband and I were also much happier with the love and care he was getting and the range of activities with Teresa that we terminated his nursery place and moved him to full time with her. She was also a huge support to me while I went through the emotions (and tiredness!) of returning to work.
Teresa does a range of activities with Ben every week from regular classes and softplays to special outings (e.g. the zoo last week!). Importantly for us, he gets a lot of outside time in local parks and Teresa's garden - we don't have any outside space in our flat. Ben has made lots of friends with the other children Teresa looks after and also through her childminder friend network - he talks about them all a lot which is lovely for us to hear.
Teresa creates the most wonderful Profile books. We will genuinely treasure them forever and my husband and I love looking through at the pictures and little stories from the activities they do together. She also takes the time to have regular development reviews with us so that we can discuss any concerns and check on his progress.
She has always been really flexible, babysitting on a number of occasions and allowing us to do some late pickups every so often. She's always really responsive when we get in touch with her and keeps us updated through her app with lots of pictures and information about where they are and food, sleep, toilet etc so we feel connected at all times.
The thing that has by far exceeded my expectations of what I thought a childminder would do, is how she has made Ben a part of her family. Teresa and her boys give Ben so much love and affection and he absolutely adores all three of them, talking about them a lot and telling me that he loves and misses them. I will be forever grateful for how she has loved and cared for my little boy over the last year and a bit - I couldn't have hoped for more.

Teresa is not only an extremely kind and caring person, but she is a very professional and outstanding childcare provider. We left our first child with her at 6 months old and had never experienced leaving him with anyone before. She made it a very easy process and we never once felt unsure about our decision. Our son soon became part of her family and loves both her and her two sons. He talks about them all of the time and misses them a lot on the weekend.
Teresa always puts our sons needs first, caring for his emotional needs as well as helping him to develop and meet his learning goals.
He has developed a lot thanks to her hard work and commitment and we will never forget Her patience and dedication to our son.
During his time with Teresa our son experienced a temperature spike (very common in young children and often as a result of a cold or sickness) and thanks to Teresa's quick actions and use of CPR, he was absolutely fine. I would not have acted as professionally or quick had it happened when he was with me.
I have never doubted that our son was in safe hands every day and would highly recommend Teresa to any parent.
We will miss her and her boys a lot and hope to keep in touch. They have been a big part of our sons life and will never forget what she has done for him.
