My Summary
About Me
Hi! My name is Toni, I am 44 years old and a qualified teacher with an 11 year old daughter.
I was teaching (both primary and secondary maths) for five years but after having my daughter I decided I would like to work from home as a childminder. I have now been childminding for almost 10 years and have received three good gradings from Ofsted.
Your children will be warmly welcomed into my family home, learn (following the EYFS), have fun and be safe.
We like to go out lots so your children will be taken to playgroups, parks, the woods, farms etc. We have a lovely child friendly garden and use it all year round (so pack their wellies!) We also have lots of resources at Toni's Tots to help them to learn and have fun.
I can offer the 15-30 hours funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds.
I take childcare vouchers and am also signed up to the Government tax free childcare.
My Experience
10 years childminding.
A Mum.
Primary school teacher and secondary maths teacher.
My Qualifications

DBS checked.

I wouldn’t know where to begin with Toni, the praise, respect and appreciation I have for this lady as a childminder is beyond words. I started using Toni for my 4yr old son 2 full days a week since February and both my son have felt settled and at ease with her services. All my friends are amazed that Stephens always out on outings such as parks, gymnasiums, soft plays etc he has a better social life than me! Toni’s home is clean, safe and totally kittee with activities for children both inside and in her beautiful garden. Toni always keeps in contact during the day whether it’s pictures or comments regarding my sons day which puts my mind at ease and yes always having such a fun time. My son can be challenging with his high energy personality but toni recognises this and builds the days she has hun around high energetic activities . I truly am so happy to have found her and I recommend her 1million% thank you for all that you do 🤩

Toni has been warm and welcoming to Ethan and us, keen to help him grow and enjoy being part of a little family. We have never used a childminder and it has been lovely to see Ethan understanding rules and extending his concentration with activities whilst having lots of fun enjoying the many parks and activities. We are so pleased Ethan has had this experience which we know has prepared him to transition to school in a few months time. Toni’s staff are also so friendly and attentive, I would recommend for anyone in future looking for a childminder to look at Toni’s Tots.

My 3 yr old daughter has been with Toni after she didn't settle well at nursery. My husband and I both work full time and go to work completely confident that she will be cared for, happy and nurtured. My daughter loves being at Toni's and is always full of chat about the fun things she has been up to during the day. We never have any issues getting her out of the house in the mornings as she loves going to Toni's so much. I couldn't recommend Toni's Tots highly enough.

It's been an absolute pleasure having F at Toni's Tots. The changes we have seen in her have been phenomenal. I'm so proud of her and how well she has adjusted since starting with us. So glad I can now support her on her next journey to nursery xxx
I’ve been sending my eldest to Toni for 2 years and now my youngest has been going for 5 months. Toni works with us to help teach the kids and provides a happy environment for them to develop in. They always enjoy going and I’m glad I’ve found someone I trust enough to look after the most precious people in my life. I would definitely recommend her to other parents.
