Teresa speed's Reviews

Outstanding

Our daughter attends Ladybird Club since she was 9 months old. Since the first visit we had the feeling that Clara would thrive there. The environment is so exciting and I felt so comfortable going back to work after my maternity leave. I knew she would be safe and have lots to explore while I was away. She is now nearly 2yo and since the first day we never had tears to come in. She loves going in everyday and sometimes does not want to come home in the end of the day. This tells us a lot! Teresa and Maria are always so respectful and caring with us parents and all the children. They provide an inclusive provision with different and exciting areas to explore everyday. In the end of the day we always have a detailed description of what our daughter has been exploring and photos of the day.
Teresa and her team are very professional, honest and supportive. We can not recommend them enough.
Thank you Ladybird club!

A home away from home

Our boy has been going to Teresa and Maria since he was 13 months, for a year and a half now. He settled in amazingly quickly, happily walking in for the day, which is all a parent can ask for. They do a vast range of activities to encourage learning through play, from playing with shaving foam to the constant cooking and cake making. Our boy has come on leaps and bounds and is ahead of where he needs to be at his age thanks to his childcare setting. We get daily updates and pictures which will always make us smile. It is a home away from home and we would happily recommend Teresa, Maria and Kev to anyone looking for childcare.

Beyond happy with this childminder :)

My son has been with Teresa for a little over 2 years now and I have just introduced my 2nd child into the setting. My son thoroughly enjoys spending time with Teresa. She has created a safe space for all the kids where they can free play but always puts lots of effort into making lots of activities that are fun and educational providing lots of stimulation. Finding a childminder that cares as much as Teresa would be hard, she is so selfless and put the kids before everything! My son gets very excited to leave the house on "Teresa days" 😀
The food on offer for the kids is really diverse and nutritional getting a good variety into their diets. Absolutely no complaints here I think Teresa and everyone else with her is outstanding at what they do.

Great childminder!!!

Teresa and her team are wonderful. We were initially concerned about placing our 17-month-old daughter with a childminder, but they made Clara feel incredibly welcome. Everyone is loving and attentive, and the facilities are excellent and safe. Clara now truly enjoys her time there! Communicating with Teresa is effortless, and she is always very helpful!

A lovely home away from home

Ladybird Centre was such a lovely home run by a very friendly, loving and caring family. I was looking for an urgent childminder due to some work and Teresa did not hesitate to accept my son in a very short notice. They looked after my almost 3 year old son and gave him the utmost care and love he needed.
My son developed his confidence and independence during his stay at the Centre. I would definitely let my son continue to join the centre however, due to work location we are moving to a different city.
So far my son was very happy making friends and interactin with other kids and Teresa and her team made sure he settled in well. Would definitely recommend Ladybird Centre if you want a very homey and caring team and you'll be sure your child will be in safe hands.
Again, I appreciate all the effort and time Teresa and her team gave to my son. ❤️

Obrigado por sua avaliação. Fico feliz que esteja feliz conosco.
Atenciosamente Teresa

Uncertain commitment

I cannot fault the ladies that care for the children.
However, Teresa gave me reassurance that she would provide my 8 week old son a suitable, and stable permanent place and yet within 3 months she was giving us notice that she could not take care of my son due to moving locations. This left me 10 weeks to find childcare for a newborn. Not something I would wish upon any mother.

I encourage everyone to view the google reviews, which encloses evidence that Teresa did indeed care for my son

I am deeply sorry I let you down. Unfortunately, we moved premises so we could decorate the house and children's play areas. I also suffered a loss, my mother passed away, by reducing numbers, allowed time for recovery and time to rebuild my life. I do remember your beautiful baby and hope you can forgive me.

Loving and welcoming

Ladybird Club is clean, warm and welcoming, I am very happy I found them. Teresa and her team are so friendly and supportive. The creative opportunities that are offered for the children to explore, learn and play are exceptional. My son settled so quickly that surprised us a lot and now he doesn't want to leave at home time 😃 I would highly recommend Ladybird Club. Thank you All!

Home away from home.

My daughter (2 years old) has been attending The Ladybird Club for a little over a year now, when she first started we were in need of childcare as soon as possible and Theresa was so accommodating and instantly made us all feel at home.
Since my daughter has started she has thrived, she is excited to go each morning and is always greeted with smiles and enthusiasm and sometimes has so much fun she doesn’t want to leave at pick up time 😂
She is always learning new things, whether that be different words, colours and numbers, to having lessons on wellbeing and how to regulate emotions which I think is so important!
She also receives meals everyday including healthy snacks and delicious lunches/tea… they also accommodated for her milk intolerance and provided oat milk and this has help make the morning routine that little bit easier.
All the staff have become like family to us, it’s hard to leave your child/children with anyone and takes a new level of trust but all the staff at The Ladybird Club have made any worries disappear and instilled that trust, I get daily updates and photos sent to me while I’m at work (which always brightens my day) and I also get verbal updates and details on her day at pick up times.
I myself have always suffered with anxiety and find new situations and sudden changes hard to process at times but I feel so at ease and supported by The Ladybird Club and know my daughter is in safe hands!
We are so glad we found them and hope for our daughter to attend until she goes to school.

Thank you to all of the staff for all do for us, we appreciate you all!

Amazing childcare setting, very caring!

I am so glad to have found Teresa and her team. They have amazing communication, and have helped my son build his communication and social skills immensely in the past year. They always keep me updated throughout the day, and offer varied education and learning opportunities.
They go above and beyond to accommodate needs and have also helped me out last minute when needed.
I'm very wary of others caring for my son but never worry when he's in Teresa care. They always communicate any concerns and report any incidents no matter how small immediately!
Lea, Maria and Eliza are all great with me son and the whole team are friendly and welcoming. Definitely a home from home setting with the added benefit of trips and varied education opportunities.
Teresa is always looking for ways to improve, adding new toys and equipment and adding more opportunities for the children to learn.
My son has been going there since just before turning 2, he's now 3 and loves his time at 'nursery'
100/10 could not recommend enough! So happy I found this amazing team to care for my son
