Lowri looked after my older daughter who is now 12, years later I trust her to take care of my littlest princess and she also loves her. Lowri has made quiet an impression on both of my daughters, my older daughter talks with her little sister about the fun and activities at Lowris, and they share memories with fondness, in particular they love the bagels Lowri makes! Baby girl really loves going to forest school. Lowri is as amazing with my little girl as she was with my older one, as my youngest was very early with issues with sleeping and eating and being a lockdown baby, Lowri has treated her with love and patience and my daughter has come along in leaps and bounds since being with Lowri, overcoming any issues with sleep or eating which to me shows Lowris level of experience. Lowri has actually been a diamond in so many unspoken ways and has made a difference to my family just by being who she is, especially when you’re an anxious parent and on top of that your child is premature - so many worries I’ve had regarding my baby girls development have been eradicated thanks to Lowri.

Lowri - I hope you continue to be a blessing to other children and parents for many more years to come ❤️

My little boy has been with Lowri for a month, from 9 months old. She is brilliant with him, so welcoming and calm. The settling in sessions went well and now his face lights up when we get to the front door. They are always doing fun activities and we are kept updated with how he is getting on. I was worried about naps, but Lowri is able to get him settled for a nap. There is a lovely outside space, as well as a dedicated play room inside for the children. Overall we are really pleased.

Having hunted around both nurseries and childminders, we have finally decided to ask Lowri to care for our daughter from October. Her setting is well equipped, spacious and clean whilst her experience is relevant and current. Lowri is both professional but friendly and we cannot wait for our daughter to develop in Lowri’s setting.

I have been extremely happy with the care my little boy has received, and the great progress he has made whilst going to Tiny Tigers.
Tiny Tigers provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise.
I would absolutely recommend Lowri/Tiny Tigers as a great and reliable childminder.

I'm an anxious mother- I don't leave my kids with anyone and so have never used a childminder before, but realising I need to loosen my grip a bit in order to go to work and have a life outside of home I decided to move out of my comfort zone.

Lowri is amazing! My daughter always looks forward to going to her house and has a lot of fun playing and learning, she also loves Lowris cooking :) The setting is very clean and well maintained with plenty of fun and educational activities for children of different ages.

Lowri as a person is very genuine - friendly, understanding, down to earth and kind but firm with children. She always keeps me in the loop with what's going on with my child and anything the school have said when she collects my daughter.

My daughter is always happy when she is dropped home and tells me about the activities she has done with Lowri and the other children and stuff they have made or places they have been. She always wants to know when she is going next! My daughter loves arts and crafts and always gets to make something.

I love that Lowri gets stuck in with the kids and it is such a comfort knowing that my precious daughter is in a home from home setting and I can relax knowing she is safe, happy and well looked after as well as having fun and learning new things. It had been a pleasure - Lowri is a real gem ?
To Lowri- You are excellent at what you do keep up the good work x
