I have been using Tanya’s services for the past 8 years and I am so thankful for the care she has expressed towards my son during this time. She is professional, reliable and always happy to support parents. I strongly recommend Tanya if you are looking for a peaceful and safe placement for your child. She became part of our family and we all appreciate her approach towards discipline and education. Thank you Tanya!

I first used Tanya in 2015 for my son; he stayed with her for about 3 years. He only stopped going there as he felt he was ‘old enough’ to attend breakfast and after school club with his peers.
I then used Tanya again with my daughter in 2021 for a year before my daughter started nursery.
We all adore Tanya and could not fault her, her setting and her childcare at all. She is lovely, kind, caring and so welcoming. Both my children fully enjoyed being in Tanya’s company and at her home. There was one occasion my son cried as I’d picked him up earlier than expected and he didn’t want to go home.
I 100% recommend Tanya and if I ever require a childminder in the future she will be the first person I go to.

Tanya looked after my daughter for just under a year, we moved her from a day care setting to Tanya because she was not settling. She instantly made a connection with Tanya and her development came on leaps and bounds. It always felt like we were an extension of Tanya's family, she truly cares about not only the child in her care but the rest of the family as well.
We only left Tanya because we moved out of the area and my daughter recently asked if we could move our new house closer to "her Tanya". This is a testament to how impactful she was on a 3 year old as she talks about her all the time. Our daughter always had a lot of fun with Tanya.
I can highly recommend Tanya as a wonderful, highly professional childminder.

I would not hesitate to recommend Tanya to any parent looking for good childcare. My 2 year old son has been with her since the beginning of January when we got back from a long trip abroad. We will be moving abroad soon, and will be gutted to have to say goodbye to Tanya, who has been very understanding and flexible throughout. Additionally, Tanya is a very open and honest person, which is essential in giving us (my husband and I) peace of mind while our son is with her.
Tanya is a very experienced and confident childminder, and keeps parents constantly informed on everything that is going on - regardless of bad or good! Toddlers do act up on occasion, and Tanya will discuss and work with me to agree tactics to help improve behaviour at hers and at home. My son looks forward to going to her house every morning, and since attending, his vocabulary, manners and knowledge has really grown. I just get so tickled every time I hear him burst into a new song which I hadn't heard him sing before!
A typical day at Tanya's is filled with activity and my son often comes home with art pieces, etc.. I also get frequent photo and video updates which bring an instant smile to my face when I'm busy working.
All I can say is that I'm very glad to have found her when I did, and am grateful for the wonderful care she has been giving my son.
