My daughter Amara has been in Tatianas care since she was 8 months old, as someone who works in childcare myself, I understand the patience and real passion and love for taking care of other people’s children and Tati is so loved in our house (and extended families houses) for the care she gives. She truly gets to know the children in her care and loves what she does!

Amaras learning and developmental growth is hugely thanks to Tati and Paola, each week they cover different themes and explore different activities throughout the day. Tati covers all the areas of learning in her activities and the children have so much variety and opportunity to learn. They do messy play, pencil control activities, phonics, role play, she encourages independence, celebrates diversity through special occasions, and cultural weeks, they do cooking! As someone who has worked in nurseries, Tati is doing exactly what is ‘required’ in a nursery but with the extra attention, which has so many advantages! She’s got a huge outside space which is such a bonus in London and I know Amara loves Tatis garden.

Amaras friendships are a testament to the environment Tati and Paola have created, children need a safe and nurturing space to create bonds with their peers, and Amara tells everyone her friends are her sisters,
And one of her first words was Tatis sons name ;)

Tati is so good with encouragement for us parents too! During any milestones/changes (especially as first time parents) she helped me with advice during so many moments in our 3 years in her care, from stopping breastfeeding, potty training, tricky eating, behaviour and many more times. I really value Tatis advice on the decisions we make for Amara, she knows her so well and I truly feel cares for her best interest, and ours as a family. although it’s her job - she pours lots of love into her business and it shows.

Another parent once told me when they were deciding between a child minder or a nursery they were worried about if there would be lots of sick days or need for time off and in our 3 years Tatis never taken a sick day where Amara couldn’t attend and the 2 times she did close, we were given many many months notice.
