We’re very happy with the childcare that Thérèse has provided for our 11 month old. It’s been reassuring to know that our son was being looked after by an experienced childminder who takes the role seriously. The service has been both flexible and reliable. Her informative feedback has been much appreciated. Our son has been happy throughout his time with Thérèse which we’re both very thankful for.

Thank you for your feedback, it has been a pleasure to look after him, I have just participated in a seminar teaching 1 and 2 year olds, ready for his next year - I am here if you want me again
I heartily recommend Therese. I booked her at short notice (having been let down by an agency booking) to look after my 5 month old son and she was brilliant! Her qualifications and experience are exemplary and she was very thorough when I rang her to make the booking.
My son was happy in her company immediately, and she went out of her way to reassure me and be helpful.
It was an unusual job - we asked Therese to come to Glyndebourne Opera festival and look after our baby in the grounds there for the afternoon and evening as I am still breastfeeding. She took it all in her stride, and cared for him excellently. It was very reassuring to know he was so well looked after, so I could relax and enjoy the opera, and it was lovely to find him playing and chuckling with Therese when we came out for the intervals - she couldn't have been better!

Thank you so much - I really enjoyed meeting you, your husband your friends and some of the cast - this is my 25th year of childminding and I felt this experience was like the icing on the cake - a lovely family, an understanding mother, a happy baby, a lovely environment - would love to meet you again if the need arises - we have the seaside and bonfire night is 5th November worth a visit - love Therese
Therese proved to be an excellent ‘find’ for us. She and our son 6 years old seemed to bond very well and she provided wonderful childcare services and feedback. Therese was accommodating and understanding of our needs an tailored her service to fit our needs perfectly. I’d have no hesitation in recommending her to others.
