My Summary
About Me
Tiny Tigers opens in April 2025.
We care for children starting from 9 months old. In some cases, we may also welcome younger children, depending on their temperament and ability to thrive in our environment.
Our setting provides a highly personalized experience with a 1:3 staff-to-child ratio, two dedicated staff members, and a maximum of six early years children aged 5 and under.
Our governance model is democratic and consent-based. We involve children in decisions, seek their consent whenever possible, and teach them the value of giving and respecting consent. We believe in fostering an environment where every voice is heard and valued.
We have a setting at The Convent, Beeches Green which has a large playroom, a seperate sleep room and it's own bathroom with climbing frame, softplay and loads of resources to keep your child engaged, happy and learning.
My Experience
I’m a mother of three—a pair of teenagers and a lively 3-year-old daughter who adores music, dancing and playing games with children of all ages. My professional background includes a degree in Theatrical Makeup and running my own face painting and children’s entertainment business. I’ve also worked with young adults with learning disabilities and, more recently, as a childminding assistant in a setting that embraced a natural, gentle, and respectful approach to childcare. These values are at the heart of my own childminding practice.

Karina has cared for my son in the past year and has been integral to the setting. She is incredibly kind and caring and I’m always at ease leaving knowing he will be well taken care of. Karina practices aware parenting and is child-led in her approach which creates a calm and joyful environment. All of the children find Karina warm and fun. I’d recommended her to other parents.

Karina has looked after my daughter for many years. Karina is kind, caring and patient. My daughter loves spending time with Karina. As a parent leaving your child can be daunting but Karina makes you feel at ease. I feel Karina has an excellent understanding around child development.
