I would recommend Filsane to anyone looking for a childminder without hesitation. Filsane has looked after both our sons, Hugo since he was 10 and a half months and Noah since he was a year old and I couldn’t be happier. They have both thrived under her care and I could go back to work knowing that they were being looked after in a safe, clean and caring environment. Their daily routine includes a nap and nutritious home cooked meals as well as healthy snacks. Going back to work and leaving my first child was not an easy decision but once I had found Filsane and saw how Hugo immediately felt at ease with her, put my mind at rest. Noah has been the same. Filsane also provides a daily diary and photos which means I can share their experiences that same evening which they love.

Filsane has created a unique setting where even though they are in the safety and security of a family home, they are also immersed in an educational and sensory environment. They follow the EYL programme and I can see how both the boys have benefited from being taught in a smaller group. They are taken on excursions and learn how to socialise with their friends, preparing them for their next step into formal education at reception.
