Filipa was my children's childminder in New Malden Surrey for the past five years until she moved to Lancing, looking after them both at least four full days a week from the time they turned one. She gave my children a fantastic start in life, nurturing them in a home-from-home environment. They were constantly making things and before Covid were always out and about on trips and attending group activities. Filipa is an excellent cook and introduced them to a varied diet as well as toilet training them. She instils discipline and good sleep habits. My children are extremely sociable, polite and now both thriving in school and nursery and that is largely down to Filipa. We love and miss her.
