Our Story
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Talia's Teddies Childminding opened its doors in early 2018, created with love by Talia who wanted to offer something special—a place where children feel truly cared for and supported. Over time, our little setting has grown, and we’ve been lucky to welcome a team of kind, passionate childcare professionals who share the same vision.
We believe in creating a warm, welcoming space where children feel secure and free to explore. Our approach is all about listening to and following the children’s interests, allowing them to grow at their own pace while building important life skills. We teach kindness, respect, and how to care for all living things, helping children develop not just skills, but a strong sense of compassion.
What makes us different is how we blend the best aspects of childcare—structured routines and social time like in nurseries, the close relationships and individual care like in nannying, and the home-from-home comfort and safety that childminders provide. At Talia’s Teddies, we strive to create a place where every child feels special, valued, and supported in their journey of growing up.
About the setting
Our setting is based in a 4-bedroom house on Cavendish Road, not far from the lovely Parks near Clapham Common and Tooting Common, only minutes away from Clapham South Tube Station.
The children have a big playroom which is bright, colourful and full of toys, designed to meet all their needs.
We are using the kitchen/dining for messy play, art and meal times.
We have a lovely garden full of exciting activities. Sandpit, muddy kitchen and water plays are just a few of them!
During warm months we have gardening sessions with the children to teach them about the importance of care and all life around us. We are keen to take children to play outside every day.

' I have been working with the children since I was 21 and I cannot imagine working anywhere else. I was always interested in children's psychology and development. Knowing that I am a big part in shaping little person is the best feeling. Unconditional love that children can give you is worth everything.'
Marta
'There are too many reasons to list why I love working with children but after 17 years of experience in childcare, I can say I loved watching children grow up. Working with them is a fountain of joy. I can never get enough of their lovely innocent personalities and truthfulness. They’re not vindictive and don’t have double standards.'

'I have worked in childcare for over 30 years. I have qualifications in childcare and am a Montessori teacher. I have worked as a nanny and worked in nurseries. I chose to work with children as everyday is different. To watch them develop and grow. It’s a pleasure to be part of their journey.'
