Tina has looked after my daughter since she was 8 months old, and is absolutely adored by her. She used to go to the childminder who Tina worked alongside, but when she decided to pursue another career, and Tina continued childminding in her own home, there was never any doubt in my mind that my daughter would stay with Tina. Tina is like her second mummy!
It is clear that Tina adores her job, and the children adore her back. I was a very anxious mum when I went back to work full time, and Tina helped put my mind at rest. If I wasn't able to look after my little girl, I am 100% glad Tina was the one who could. When I changed my hours, Tina was more than accommodating to me, and she still is. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her!
My little girl comes home from Tina's and tells me about her day - going to the park, the activities she does inside and outside, she has her favourite meals, not to mention Dexter and Luna, the dogs! Her confidence has developed and I can only thank Tina for this - for being a gentle and caring person who enables children to develop and grow within themselves. Tina has helped with her development in ways I would never think of doing.
During lockdown, I was still in work as a teacher, and very often my LG would be the only child there. She was treated as one of the family, and I never once felt concerned about her going during this scary time. In fact I think she loved it, as she got all the attention! I know 100% I made the right choice with Tina. My daughter is so happy there, flourishing and quite often doesn't want to leave!
I would 100% recommend Tina - she is just wonderful x
