Tanya Wa

Amazing childminder

My daughter was with Tanya almost 2 years and absolutely loved every day spent with her. They did so many activities and it really brought my daughter out of her shell. She learnt sign language, interaction with other children, baking, crafts, life skills and they spent a lot of time outdoors in nature. Her time with Tanya helped her be more independent and learn so much, from putting on her own coat to learning about her emotions. Her interaction with other kids at play groups with Tanya has helped her navigate through school nursery like a breeze. Tanya is kind, thoughtful, caring, compassionate and definitely the right kind of person to make a parent feel comfortable about leaving their child with. I can’t thank her enough for how great she’s been over the past few years, we appreciate her so much.

Thank you Amy, for your kind words , really appreciate your review. It was a absolute pleasure watching her grow and make friends within my setting. We all miss her, but happy her transition went so well x x

Amazing

My eldest started with Tanya when he was 1 when I was a nervous mum going back to work. Tanya made the transition for both myself and my son seamless offering a supportive home from home environment where I knew he would be safe and happy. Tanya was so accommodating and helpful in regard to everything to do with drop off times to funding and meal choices. When I had my second in 2020 it was so easy to choose Tanya, in fact my youngest couldn't wait to go! Both of my children flourished in her care and her fabulous setting.
We did not want to leave Tanya's, only the children starting full time school forced me to! If I had more children I would not hesitate to ask Tanya again.

Thank you Emma, for choosing me, it was an absolute pleasure looking after them both. It’s sad to see them leave but know they were ready for there next chapter xx

Absolutely amazing

Used Tanya again for my 2nd child. She is amazing. She accommodates for you any way she can. Both my children have gone to Tanya and both want to go back (oldest being 8) she is amazing with all the children she cares for and treats them as her own family. She always interacts with the children and takes them to a variety of places. Her setting is also amazing. Clean toys and resources are all looked after and not broken. She also tries to follow the same programs as schools (nursery age) she adapts to the different children's needs and works with you with any issues you might have. My LG had a milk allergy when she was younger and Tanya easily adapted foods etc that she would give her. Her food is aways home made healthy choices with a few treats now and again.
The only reason my children left was to go to full time school. I would and have recommended Tanya to anyone asking for a childminder in the area. She is amazing. Thank you for all your support love and help over the years.

Excellent Childcare

Tanya is amazing she goes over and above for all her children. Shes looked after my little boy from around 9 months and it's hard to believe he's starting reception and leaving. Jamie loved going to Tanya's and has learnt so much in doing so. Cannot praise her enough for what she has done for both myself and Jamie over the years I will definitely be back with the 2nd child. (if she has space) definitely the best choice I made for Jamie. It says a lot when your child cry's to go to Tanya's and asks "is it Tanya's day" she is like part of the family and gives the children a home from home feeling when they are there.

Thank you for such a lovely review x x x

Excellent childcare

Tanya has looked after both of my girls over the last 8 years. My youngest daughter started with her at the age of one and settled in really quickly. From the moment she started I never had any problems leaving her with Tanya as I knew she was safe and was always really busy going to various playgroups, parks and doing activities in the home so the days flew by. Tanya provides a caring, stimulating environment for all children of different ages so they are constantly learning and are never bored. She provides nutritious meals, snacks and drinks each day.
Tanya always informed me of what they had done throughout the day and how they had been and I knew that if there was anything I needed to discuss with her she was always willing to listen.
When it came to them starting school Tanya was able to still collect them so that I didn't have to adjust my working hours and was able to accommodate longer hours in the school holidays. My oldest daughter started secondary school last year and she was really sad to leave as she enjoyed going there so much and this is now the same for my youngest daughter. Whenever my girls are out people comment on how well behaved and polite they are and I have no doubt that this is in part down to Tanya as she has instilled in them good behaviour and manners whilst they have been with her as I do at home so there was always consistency with standards of behaviour.
They have both made some really good friends over the years who they will keep in contact with and I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a home from home environment.
