About Me
I have very limited spaces Tues & Weds (from newborn to 4yrs - including funded spaces); Currently studying Primary Teaching part time through OU.
Please drop me a message with what you are looking for and we can discuss if I have space :-)
I am a Level-4 Ofsted registered, fun intelligent childminder, with many years progressive experience caring for children of all ages, from new-born’s upwards. We are a 2-Mummy family with 2 smalls & 2 cats.
Devoted, reliable, supplying loving care while making sure disciplinary and educational needs are met. I love my job and offer children clear guidelines; promoting positive behaviour, while learning and having fun.
Experience with food allergies (ie. CMPA); Healthy plant-based meals offered.
My Experience
My aim is to provide a childminding service that will allow your child to learn and develop in a safe, secure, home-based environment. Play will be at the centre of learning and development, with a wide range of activities and experiences appropriate to the age and stage of your child.
I am Ofsted registered (EY543383) with insurance, to care for up to 6 children from birth to 8 years of age - offering home schooling as an option. I also offer out of school care for children over the age of 8. My childminding service is offered to all children and families; I may also be able to care for children with additional needs.
Children will be provided with healthy meals, healthy snacks during the day, taking into account special requirements, allergies, etc.
Children will be taken to the local parks and on walks.
A range of activities will be provided including arts and crafts, storytelling, construction toys, singing and musical instruments, jigsaws, games, learning sheets and role play.
I will negotiate an individual contract for each child.
We have 2 cats at home who are usually out and about during the day. They generally keep to themselves.

My little girl is going to Tamsin 4 times a week. She absolutely love going to see her. Tamsin always have time to talk to me at drop off and pick up. She goes above and beyond everyday, and always with a smile on her face. She remember important dates and made us feel comfortable included in my daughters care.
Tamsin always keep us updated with lovely photos. She is very accommodating and supportive. I highly recommend Tamsin as a childminder. She is amazing.
10 out of 10, I honestly can't recommend her enough.

I truly cannot recommend Tamsin enough.
From day one Tamsin has been very flexible, accomodating and continously provides a reassuring level of communication. Tamsin goes above and beyond to support each development milestone of my child through many different varied approaches.
My son's happiness and safety is paramount and I have no hesitation in leaving my son in Tamsin's care.
When ever possible Tamsin gives my son the opportunity to explore the mighty outdoors, whatever the weather and after busy days there is always a nutritious home made food awaiting him. Everything that Tamsin does for my son is very much appreciated.

I couldn't be happier with Tam. I'm amazed how much she packs in - my son is only there for a few hours, but always comes back with lovely crafts. She is creative and thoughtful and provides healthy food as well as stimulating play activities.

Tamsin has been amazing since we first made contact, she was super quick to respond and very knowledgeable. My son was comfortable with her immediately which is a huge compliment to her way with children, as he usually takes his time to adjust and warm up to people.
Tamsin regularly updates a user friendly app which shows nappies, naps, meals, activities, pictures - everything you could want to know about your child's day - and my son certainly has a fun filled day every time he's with her. He always comes home with the biggest smile on his face.
Since starting with Tamsin, she has really helped my son come on leaps and bounds with his development and his confidence has grown dramatically. It is not unusual for me to notice him saying new words and doing new things after a day with Tamsin.
I am devastated that we can't continue with Tamsin as we are moving out of the area. It is always a difficult decision to leave your child with anyone, but we felt that we could trust Tamsin instantly. You couldn't get a better childminder - Tamsin is in a league of her own and I wholeheartedly recommend her.
