My Summary
About Me
I am a qualified early-years teacher and an Ofsted registered Childminder (as of September 2022).
I am passionate about the education and care of young children and have worked with children for over 12 years, most recently as a Nursery Teacher for an outstanding independent school in Notting Hill and Clapham. I have also worked as a Teaching Assistant in Year 1 and worked as a Nanny in central London for several years. I am very familiar with the EYFS and the stages of development up to Year 2 and so I can prepare your child for their next big step.
I have a 3 year old girl attending Athelston and a 5 months old boy. We like to play in the house as well as get out and about in the local area. We love toddler playgroups, playgrounds, parks, feeding the ducks and visits to the local libraries. I am very enthusiastic about Art, and I love painting and drawing. It always involves lots of sticking and gluing (sorry in advance for the glitter). We are looking for one other child, as this allows us to enjoy fun outings.
I am happy to have different children during the week. If you are looking for school drop offs and pick-ups around the area, feel free to contact me as I might have availability.
My first aim is to provide your child with a safe, happy, warm and welcoming home-based environment. My second aim is to help your child to become independent and confident, in order to provide them with a very easy and smooth start to school. References can be provided on request.
My Experience
My experience is focused in early years education. I have worked in Nurseries, Reception and Year 1. I have cared for children in their first year of nursery, focusing their learning through the three prime areas of learning, also their second year where the learning is focused on the 7 areas of learning. Two of my favourites are maths and literacy, I have a wide range of games that the children love. I also have had two years’ experience in Reception and Year 1 where I got to grips with the current curriculum. With this I will be able to develop your child and get them ready for life at school.
My Qualifications
I am a qualified teacher (BA Education), I gained my QTS in 2012.

Teresa looked after our son between the ages of 18 months and 3 years, when we moved out of Surbiton. I cannot recommend Teresa highly enough. The care and attention she gave to our son was absolutely fantastic, she aligned activities to his interests and development stage in a fun and caring way. Teresa took him out to activities at least once a day and when at home did lots of lovely activities with him including painting, reading and imaginary play. He was always so happy to go to her house and often didn’t want to leave! He quickly formed a very strong bond with Teresa, which was really lovely. Teresa provided fantastic meals and was able to accommodate his dietary needs. She also provided us with updates and photos throughout the day. Teresa has been such a positive influence on his early years development and we are so grateful that we found her! I highly recommend Teresa to anyone looking for childcare, she is fantastic.
