Rebekah's Reviews

Excellent childcare

The staff at Tina's childminding are a true god send! My son started there just before his 2nd birthday after being looked after by a family friend which turned out to be a huge mistake. Tina was an absolute angel accommodating us at such short notice and the staff there helped him to settle in so quickly and easily and he's now progressing in leaps and bounds especially with his confidence and self esteem!

Tina's home is an absolute dream, so welcoming and homely with the most amazing facilities, especially the garden!! It's doesn't surprise me one bit that my son wants to go at weekends and during school holidays ... I think he would move in if it meant he could live with his little friends! ... I'd quite fancy moving in myself!

The food at Tina's is a massive hit with my son. She provides a wide variety of healthy hot meals each day that encourages my son to try new things and I honestly believe this is why he's not a fussy eater unlike his 13 year old sister ... and Tina's toast for breakfast is definitely one of my sons favourite things about getting up in the morning!!

One of my favourite things about Tina's is that I never have to worry about my son whilst he's in their care especially as he suffers chronically with asthma. Tina and the staff are so brilliant with him when he is suffering, taking care of his needs and treating him just as they would their own children which means the world to me because Charlie is truly happy and safe there which makes leaving him so much easier!

The staff at Tina's work really hard to provide lots of fun and educational activities and it's wonderful when we get to see the learning profiles that they take so much time to put together jam packed with all of the amazing things they do - my son is so proud of his profile and loves showing it off to everyone that visits!

I quite often recommend Tina's to friends and family that are pregnant and considering childcare. The family atmosphere is a wonderful place for children to grow up in and the quality of care is out of this world!! I cannot thank them enough for their love and support these last 2 years and will be sure to use them in the future when we have our next baby!!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

My 4 year old has just left Tina’s to start reception, she was a lockdown baby and started Tina’s at 6 months old. You would never know that her start in life was so disrupted because the little girl that’s started school is confident, outgoing, forward and her speech and language is amazing. A lot of this is down to the staff at Tina’s! They are kind and caring, supportive to both children and parents and extremely dedicated to the education and wellbeing of those they care for. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed the time she spent at Tina’s, from the activities and opportunities to the home from home setting and especially the home cooked food. Every detail is considered by the staff to ensure the children are engaged and happy. I can’t thank them enough for getting her school ready, she’s gone straight in today with no tears and very excited because her experience at Tina’s was so amazing!

We knew about Tina’s as my son went there 9 years ago and the nicest thing was that although he was at school Tina still treated him like one of the Tina’s family when we dropped our daughter, taking an interest and making him feel loved. Our son was poorly a lot as a young child with asthma and I don’t know what I would have done without Tina, the emotional and physical support she gave to our family was second to none. He was an incredibly shy child when he started but by the time he left for reception he too was a confident, happy, outgoing boy that was well and truly ready for school.

So, moral of the story is; if you are looking for a childminder who will treat and love your children as their own, give them incredible experiences and provide them with all of the essential skills they need to start school, then Tina’s childminding is the one. Tina is absolutely the modern day Mary Poppins everyone wishes for!

Oh thank you for such a lovely review. It has been an absolute pleasure being part of your children’s early years experience and an absolute pleasure to watch them grow into lovely confident children. So glad you are going to continue to drop in and see us and we can watch your two through their next exciting educational journey; myself and the girls will miss you all XX
