I highly recommend Tina as a childminder. She has been looking after my son for 3-4 days a week since he was just 10 months old, and the experience has been wonderful. Tina is not only great with children but also incredibly understanding, providing regular updates and maintaining excellent communication.
Her family home offers a warm and welcoming environment where my son feels completely at ease. He loves going to Tina’s so much that he runs in without looking back!
Tina provides a variety of activities and outdoor fun, including regular playgroups and classes that help with routine and socialisation. There are always creative activities and craft projects in progress, keeping the children engaged and stimulated.
Tina truly goes above and beyond, making her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a caring and nurturing childminder.

Tina looks after my little 4 year old daughter, three days a week, she provides a warm caring environment. my daughter loves the home cooked meals and her general interaction with children is of a very good standard. during the school holidays Tina often takes my daughter alongside the other children on days out to the museum, art gallery, Zumbini, local parks and play groups. my daughter always comes home with arts and crafts, which she thoroughly enjoys. I would 100% recommend Tina to anyone looking for a child minder. She has worked with me to address some of my daughter's challenging behaviour, which is of great help. She is helpful, patient and resourceful with the children in her care.

Tina covered some days for me in the recent Easter Holidays 2016 for my youngest daughter aged 10, daughter had a ball and really enjoyed the time she spent with Tina and her other charges, i am keeping Tina on speed dial to cover again in holidays if needed and i would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone.
