About Me

Hi, my name is Tina and I am registered with Ofsted as a Childminder continuing with my “good” grading following my latest inspection in August 2024. I follow the EYFS and my curriculum is to cover this by promoting learning within a fun way whilst making lots of happy memories. I provide a warm and welcoming, easy-going setting for babies and young children.

* My opening hours are Monday to Thursday from 7.30 am until 4.30 pm

* I provide ALL YEAR ROUND and also TERM TIME ONLY with no fees during school holidays.

* Please note I do not offer pre-school or school drop offs or pick ups.

* Childcare from 3 months

* Funding from 9 months for 15 or 30 hours free childcare

Please feel free to drop me a message to discuss your childcare requirements and to see if I have a suitable vacancy. If you provide an email address I will happily send you a copy of my Welcome Pack.

Being a Childminder, I offer more of a one-on-one service unlike nurseries. I have a lovely little group and from experience notice the majority of new children show some signs of settling in after the first couple of weeks. During the first month in particular I like to work with parents discussing how your child is settling in so that parent’s mind is put at ease but also making sure the little group remains a happy setting.

My Experience

Having children of my own I understand what it is like to have to juggle childcare with work.

I follow the EYFS throughout my working day. I like to make new starters feel happy, comfortable and relaxed and so I ask parents to complete a "this is me" form stating their child's interests, dislikes, comfort items etc. I also provide parents with a "starting points" page so that I have something to work on with my planning for your child.

Here are some of the other activities I provide - dressing up, free play both inside and outside, role-play, nursery rhymes DVD / dancing and singing, learning time i.e. colours, shapes, counting / numbers, walking, craft, flash cards, chalkboard, pavement chalk, feeding the ducks, reading / one on one reading talking about what we can see / story-time, puzzles, jigsaws, trampoline, outdoor cars, scooters, playhouse, swing/slide. I work from the back of my house and it has been set up as a child friendly safe secured area.

It is important to me to work in partnership with parents - as part of my safeguarding, handover is from the locked back gate and it is kept to a minimum so that I can supervise the other children here with me. I message parents with daily updates using WhatsApp and also send photographs of children taking part in various activities.

Parents are to please provide:-

* a cold lunch for their child such as a sandwich / wrap, fruit, yogurt, crisps, sausage / cheese and onion roll / cocktail sausages, salad etc. PLEASE DO NOT send in a hot meal as this is taking me away from supervising the group.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
22 August 2024
A nurturing environment with an emphasis on outdoor learning characterizes this childcare setting. Children enjoy a curriculum focused on physical activities and exploration, with regular outings to parks and countryside. The childminder plans engaging activities that build on children's knowledge and skills, particularly supporting communication through songs and rhymes. Parents express high satisfaction with the care provided. While the setting excels in many areas, there is room for improvement in planning age-appropriate next steps, especially for literacy skills development.

Amazing childminder!

5 stars

Our little boy has been with Tina since he was 11months. He's been there 6 months now and ever since the first day I've been at ease leaving him with her. Her house has so much for the children to do inside and outside and everyday they go out and do different activities, they have so much fun and Tina trys to make everything educational at the same time. He's always so happy to be there and he has never had a boring day with her. She's so great with all the children, our boy loves Tina and I honestly wouldn't want to leave him with anybody else!

Home from home

5 stars

I was super nervous to leave my 9 month old to return back to work and i visited a few childminders before tina and just felt on edge and not right! From the moment i walked into the house i knew this was the one! Tina was lovely, put me at ease and very organised. Any questions asked was answered fully and was so easy to settle Holly in, she took to tina instantly! Lovely planned activities around hollys development in a lovely clean home and play room! Only reason for leaving was because we relocated and I wish I could of packed tina to! We will miss you lots! Thank you for being amazing and a fantastic childminder x

Exceptional childminder!

5 stars

Some people would say they are lost without their phone – I would be completely lost without Tina!

As a first time parent and single mom, I was wary about leaving my son with ‘strangers’ but after the initial period of letting go I realised that I had made the right decision.

Tina and her family share an environment with my son that is full of fun, love and learning - simply the perfect place to be, a home away from home.

Tina’s home is always welcoming, clean, well organised and nothing is ever too much trouble - I feel really lucky to have found her.

My son has truly blossomed during his time with her and the boys - he certainly doesn’t have much time to get bored with all the exciting daily activities, having fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.

I really feel as if I’ve found a childminder who I consider to be one of the family and I’m also honoured to call Tina a friend!

Excellent Childminder

5 stars

I sent my 3 year old to Tina , and i can honestly say she was brilliant with him. My son still now asks to go there but the only reason he stopped was due to changes i made to my own work. I would definitely use Tina again.

Excellent Care

Tina provides a home from home for my ten month old son. Tina takes him lots of places to experience New things and also provides a stimulating and safe environment within her home.
I would recommend Tina to anyone due to her high standard of care, flexibility and knowledge.
