Tinas Childminding's Reviews

Wouldn't use anybody else

Tina is fantastic! My son receives excellent care, fantastic home cooked meals and does several activities each day. He comes home with all sorts of work that he's done and is engaged in learning numbers and letters in a fun seting. He behaves himself well and uses his manners and Tina focuses well on making sure the children communicate well and are social. She keeps parents updated with albums of work and photos as well. He used to go to a nursery but he really came out of his shell more and seemed more engaged in learning when he went to Tina. He even came home with a cupcake he'd helped to make one day so the activities are varied. I'm so glad that I found Tina as I wouldn't want to use anyone else.

Fantastic

Our daughter has had such a lovely experience with Tina for the last two years. She has loved going 3 days a week and has grown in confidence as a little girl. Tina has always been very supportive of us as a family and has given excellent care to our daughter. The outdoor area at Tina's is brilliant, and the food is home-cooked and fresh every day. We are really very happy with the care and support our daughter has received here. We would use Tina again without a doubt.

Wouldn't use anyone else

I have been using Tina's childminding to care for my children for the past 3yrs and wouldn't use anyone else. My eldest was sad to be leaving Tina's to start school but I can honestly say that the teaching, support and care Tina and Sara showed him during his time there prepared him for the next stage. He always came out with a smile on his face and spoke excitedly of things he had done with his friends. He especially loved the garden! Now it is the turn of my youngest. A couple of weeks in and she is already settled and loving Tina's childminding. I can't speak highly enough of Tina's Childminding, Tina and Sara are amazing

Amazing

I can not recommend Tina's Childminding enough, they have supported me and enabled me to continue to work full time with the reassurance that my child will be looked after as I would myself. They have looked after my eldest who is now 12 year old, and more recently my youngest son who has just started full time school. My youngest is on the spectrum and they have supported my child and my family throughout with no judgement and only support, and have been flexible with Noel limitations and rigid routine.

Brilliant service and Care

Thank you to Tina's Childminding, for their help, service and care over the last 7 years. My youngest has now started full time school and we are all sad to be leaving Tina's. The ladies made my life easy and stress free while leaving my two children to go to work. They always go the extra mile and the whole experience has been a pleasure, I Can't express my gratitude enough. I would not have been able to both run my business and raise my kids without their invaluable help.

Brilliant!!!

Sent my little girl to Tinas for 2 plus years and am about to send my 1 year old when I return to work. The amount my daughter came on in this time was amazing. They don’t only play, but learn so much. She loved attending Tinas 3 days a week and made many friends. Tina managed to get her eating a wider range of food which was great. She loved all of the staff and so do I. Easy to communicate with and very friendly. It’s sad my daughter won’t have to go anymore since starting reception but I am excited for my little boy to have to same experience there as she did. Tina provided school pick ups for me whilst on maternity leave which helped me a great deal. I trust her and her staff with my children’s lives and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you. :)

Home from home loved and caring

Both my boys have been in Tina’s care now for a total of 4 years. They have been well loved and cared for and enjoyed their every single visit.
Their development has been clearly monitored and I have many portfolios to cherish and look back on. Tina’s garden being a highlight of my sons regular week ... weather app having to be checked for him before the visits.
I can’t rate Tina any higher. My son was 8 weeks old when he first started with her and he graduated today aged 4. Having to work means you have to hand your children over with trust and with Tina I have had no doubt ever that they weren’t fed happy and having the best of times.
Feeling grateful for the kindness and help as mother to mother has also been cherished for me.
I am now expecting my third and already booked in for his arrival. There is no one else I would chose x

Amazing - home from home!

My two boys went to Tina’s from 6 months old until they were 4 and 6. Tina, Sara and Caz are a great team! They get to know the children so well and tailor learning to the needs of the children. The environment is outstanding, especially the garden! The best thing is my boys adored going and they were loved and cared for so well. I can’t rate Tina’s highly enough - thank you!

Fantastic.

My son was at Tina' s childminding for over 18 months, the staff are brilliant, and the preparation my son received readying him for school was fab. He's now started school and settled right in and I'm sure a large part of that is down to Tina' s. Great environment and great communications.

Really pleased!

My Daughter (nearly 2) absolutely loved attending Tina’s Childminding. Prior to joining my Daughter had difficulty with walking as she has hyper mobility, the team really helped her grow her confidence and as a result she came on leaps and bounds! Tina & her team are so friendly and very easy to talk to. I will definitely be sending my Son when he’s a little older!
