Teresa D

An outstanding childminder

My daughter has been with Teresa since age 1, she is 3 now and we have decided to leave her with teresa until school instead of pre school. It is hard to summarise into words what we feel about Teresa as a family. She is family to us and my daughter thinks the world of her. Teresa provides a homely and nurturing environment, the bond the children have with her is like second to nothing. My daughter loves going to Teresa's and thinks so highly of her as we all do. My daughter has come on so much under Teresa's support, she is always out with the kids doing a number of experiences and learning something I feel she would not get anywhere else. Trips to the beach, museums, swimming, train and bus trips the list could go on. The home environment is great lots in the garden the kids growing their own vegetables and learning how to care for these, a variety of inside activities including tim tim the real life tortuise which the kids love. The education Teresa provides has made my daughter so advanced for her age, ruby is counting, practicing writing now and her speech is excellent and her memory is sharp, she is very creative and always brings home projects completed. teresa has over seen my daughter's potty training and her approach with the children is firm but loving. The children have a good routine and the up most respect for Teresa. Teresa has been flexible with us to support us as working parents, her communication is excellent throughout the day and she always captures memories for us something I love, she goes above and beyond to meet the children's needs and supporting us. She caters to individual needs diet sleep regime etc. She is second mum and I dread the day ruby goes to school. We will all miss her very much but we know ruby will remain involved in her life forever. Thankyou Teresa for all you do you change children's lives and give them a bright start for their future.

Aw that’s lovely Kellie.. thank you so much ❤️

Excellent Childminder

Teresa has looked after three of my children now, my eldest is now 12 and in High school, the middle one is now 8 and my youngest has just left her to start full time nursery. For 12 years Teresa has loved my children and taken care of them as a third parent :) I originally wanted a home environment for my little ones as I felt that they needed that one to one care and she didn't disappoint. They have learnt so much from her and have grown so much from her care and nurturing and had loads of adventures along the way. I honestly couldn't have wished for better. My children have loved being with her and even I cried when we left this time lol. It takes a lot for a parent to leave their babies with someone else, but she is amazing and just makes them part of her family too. I couldn't recommend her enough. Thanks Teresa

Amazing childminder and wonderful experience

My daughter Sophie was with Teresa from being 10 months old until she was 4 and ready to go off to Reception. I genuinely feel so lucky that we found Teresa; she loves and cares for all her mindees as if they're her own children. Teresa is always out and about doing fun activities with the kids and Sophie really learned and developed so much while she was with her, and always had fun - to the point where there were days that she didn't want to come home! Teresa is also a genuinely lovely person and so easy to speak to and discuss things with. I'm so greatful that my daughter spent her early years with Teresa and I can't recommend her highly enough. We will miss her very much now that Soph is in school but our loss will definitely be another families gain.
