Tinas Childminding's Reviews

Like home from home

Both my 6 year old and my 10 month old attend Tina's childminding and it's a real relief to find someone so caring, thoughtful and genuinely interested in my children's well-being. My older daughter started when I needed before and after school cover two days a week and loved the mix of children and the range of activities available during 'playtime' after school - especially spending time in Tina's huge garden! She was very happy, so it was with complete confidence that I enrolled my younger daughter when she was 6 months old, to attend three mornings a week. She loves Tina and Sarah and barely bats an eyelid when handed over in the mornings. And I get very good feedback when I collect her, ranging from what she's eaten (all Tina's meals are home cooked and sound really tasty) to how long she's slept for or what she's been doing. All in all Tina provides a great service, offers valuable flexibility and has lots of space for children to run about and really enjoy themselves.

Invaluable

My eldest child went to tinas at 8 months old and settled really quickly. I was apprehensive about leaving her, being a first time mum, but tina eased us both into the process and nothing was too much trouble. My daughter soon enjoyed going to tinas and has learned lots of things very quickly for her age and is getting alot of comments at school nursery about being very mature for her age and being very social which, i believe, is due to being at tinas. When i had my second daughter, i had no issues in going back to work as she loved going to tinas from the start. Both my children have developed very quickly and tina tailors their activities to their needs. As parents, we have daily feedback as to what the children have been doing and how they have been which has been invaluable, especially in dealing with the 'terrible twos'! If we have every had any concerns regarding our children, tina has been very proactive and helped us with behavioural quirks they have been going through.

I am now expecting baby no. 3 and feel confident in knowing that it will be very well looked after and cared for, just like its sisters.

Tina has been invaluable to us, both for the quality of care she provides and her flexibilty which has saved us no end of headaches.

I would recommend her services to everyone and the facilities at her home are excellent and both my girls love the family feel and the freedom they have to run around and play.
