Tinas Childminding's Reviews

Childminder

Both our children have attended Tina’s. We have a five year age gap and our daughter attended as part of before and after school wrap around whereas our son went from 9 months old and is still there now 10 years on in wrap around.

Our only regret is that we did not find her when our daughter was born.

Tina is amazing with the children and we all feel like an extension of each others families. The children love her and the environment she creates enabled them to develop in a safe, fun environment.

Also as working parents, the knowledge that Tina is / was looking after them allowed us as parents to go to work relaxed and unworried about the welfare of our children.

Simply amazing.

Thank you for the review and it’s been a pleasure to watch him grow up. X

Outstanding

Where do i start.....
From day 1 when we met Tina we knew our little boy would have an amazing time. We have nearly been with Tina for 2 years and Thomas's confidence just keeps blooming with support from the girls. We love how he comes out smiling and telling us what he has done for the day and how he is building friendships with his friends.
Tina takes time out to speak to us with how he's developing and reassures us if and when had concerns.
Would definitely recommend Tina and the girls for any childcare, they are brilliant and your child will be well looked after and loved.

Thank you he makes our job easy xxx

Best choice we ever made

Our little boy has been with Tina’s childminding since he was 10 months old and is the most charismatic, confident and clever little boy and we owe a lot to Tina. She treats him like one of her own and he has been so happy there. He has made a lovely group of friends and he amazes us daily with everything he has learnt there. He starts school today and he has gone into school with so much knowledge that he has been given at Tina’s. I would highly recommend to anyone, Thankyou so much Tina

Another level of care

Well where do I start...
Tina's Childminding outstanding to say the least!! Between my two girls, I have had 6years of care provided by Tina's Childminding and I am extremely thankful for every second of it. Not only has she helped to care for them and develop their abilities and skills but also worked with other professionals to support myself and my children as a family not only just the individual child. We have been able to build an amazing bond between us and able to work together to support everyone to the best in day to day life. Tina's Childminding has supported myself with meeting the changeable needs of my daughter's allergies and intolerances by providing her with a balanced diet to meet her individual needs which has been a weight lifted off my shoulders. I have to say I am gonna be sad that I have no children left to send her way but that only means one thing... There's a place for a very lucky parent to snatch whilst they can and experience the amazing support and care that we have.
Keep doing what your doing, the proof is written to show the hard work you put in to everyday.

Ah thanks Leah will miss you and the girls. Stay in touch xxx

Can’t thank you enough

I can’t recommend Tina highly enough for all the amazing work she does. My daughter is like a different child since attending Tina’s Childminding. She has developed in so many ways, not just academically but socially and physically too. She has grown in confidence beyond belief and is now interacting with other children, much happier in new situations and wanting to try new things.
Nothing is too much trouble and I’ll still never know how you manage to do all you do on a daily basis Tina! I can’t recommend you highly enough, thank you for everything.

You’re very welcome I’m so glad that we helped her along her learning journey x

Like family

My son has been with Tina now since he was 8 months old. He's now 3 and will be starting his final year with Tina very soon. Ever since my son started at Tina's, he has come on leaps and bounds. He's such a clever little boy and a huge social butterfly. Tina is a brilliant childminder in many, many ways. The one thing that stood out to me the most was how I saw her treat my son... Just as I would. The care and passion she has for her job and the kids she cares for is beyond what I would ever expect in a childminder.
I'm extremely sad that my son will be beginning his final year with Tina in September, but I can not thank her enough for all that she has done for my boy. I know he adores Tina, her home and all his friends that he has made along the way and I know he looking forward to everything new to come

Oh thank you for a lovely review can’t believe he’s now going to be one of the big boys lots of work ahead for the little man

Home from Home

Iv had Tina look after both my children from 6 weeks old and couldn’t have asked for any better.

They both love going and sees it as their second home and they are very confident & comfortable in the environment.

Any advice or help need with the kids she helps ie how to potty train , get riding a dummy , behaviour issues and what I do at home she does with them also.

I couldn’t recommend her enough she has been great and helped both my children grow and get ready for school.

Food is great, they get a home cooked meal which they both enjoy.

Outside is my daughter’s favourite garden is brill for the kids!

thank you so glad you have been happy

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have used Tina for almost 7 years now. I sent my eldest and my youngest has just finished to go to nursery. Both children have benefitted so much from attending, especially my youngest who has grown so much and gained so much confidence. Tina is kind and helpful and has catered to our every need. My youngest will miss coming very much ❤️ Thank you for all you have done.

Thank you for your wonderful words, it’s been an absolute pleasure 🥰.

Very happy!

My son started with Tina when he was 9 months old, he is now 4 and a half years old. He has always been very settled and enjoyed his time there. My son always ate very well, the meals are home cooked and sounds so tasty! I was very impressed with all the work and activities they completed. My son loves being outside and Tina’s outside area is amazing.
Tina is very approachable, I trust her 100% and I wouldn’t want to use anyone else.
Thank you.
Ps- My daughter has now started with Tina. I’m sure she will have an amazing journey with Tina as well.

Amazing!

Our son attended Tina's from the age of 15 months until he was 4. Tina was so adaptive to his needs, understanding of things he found tricky and supportive for us as a whole family. We loved the fact that he was literally entering a home away from home each time we dropped him off. Food was excellent and so very varied. He left there ready for Reception, both socially and academically. We couldn't thank Tina and her family enough for the care, support, teaching and love that they showed out son.
