TarniTot's Reviews

The best start we could have asked for

Leo joined Tarnitot's when he was 7 months old and was with Tarni until he was almost two - full time, 5 days a week. Finding the right childminder and setting was so important to us and we couldn't have asked for a better start to Leo's life - he had a ball everyday and made some great friends. We loved the fact that Tarni gets out and about with the kiddies every morning. She takes them to playgroups, farms, fisheries, garden centres - it's exactly what we wanted for Leo. Tarni is also fantastic to work with and excellent with Leo - she remains our go to for help and support with the little man's behaviours. 10/10 from us.

Thankyou for your kind words. Finding that someone special is always hard and a big step leaving your children with complete strangers. I'm so glad I gave you reassurance that I was that person for Leo. I have enjoyed watching him grow into the strong character he is, and will miss him very much. I wish him well on his next journey and look forward to staying in touch with you all.

The best decision I made!

Primrose attended TarniTots since she was 9 months old. Being a first time parent it can be very daunting leaving your child however Primrose settled in so well since day 1. Tarnia has been wonderful with ensuring Primrose had a home from home environment. Since attending her setting Primrose has excelled in her development and I believe this is down to the one to one care Tarnia provides. She has always followed any changes we have made at home to provide Primrose with a good routine. She is great with keeping us informed with what Primrose had been upto by keeping a daily diary and sending photos/videos which is lovely to see. Primrose often came home with arts and crafts she had done whether it is related to a current event or just for fun!
Tarnia provides a warm, welcoming and safe environment and I trust that Primrose was in great hands. She is friendly, approachable and trustworthy. I'm so glad we found such a lovely childminder to care for our daughter! Primrose will miss you and your family lots but I'm sure we will stay in touch.

Thank you for everything ❤️

Such a lovely review. Thankyou. I enjoyed having Primrose in my setting and watching her grow into a beautiful confident little girl. I miss her very much and wish her well in her new adventures at preschool. Thankyou for choosing me. 💓

She won our hearts

My little one was 1.5 years old when he went to TarniTot. I was really afraid because before that he was with family. I had to give my son to a perfect stranger. Not even 2 days later, he was already asking to go into her arms and coming back to us with such a nice energy. She take the kids a lot outide, for a walk, for playground, for music activities, to the farm... You won't find this in a nursery. Ever. She sends you everyday pictures! you can see your kid evolving day after day. She is trully amazing with kids, my son is clearly happy over there with his friends and Tarnia. We will miss you Tarnia! Thank you for everything you did. This job is the one made for you, and all the kids in your care are in such good hands... We were lucky to find you, thank you :)

Lovely home from home

My 2 girls were with TarniTots for a year and absolutely loved it there. Tarni is so welcoming and reassuring, my youngest started when she was just 8 months and I always felt she was in good hands. The girls went on lots of outings to local outside spaces, museums and farms, plus spending time at Tarnis doing craft activities and free play. The also helped looking after her animals which they really enjoyed. We had lots of regular updates in their daily diary along with regular observations following the EYFS skills so we could monitor their progress.

We were all very sad for them to leave TarniTots and will be grateful if the fantastic start they had there : )

Thankyou for your review. Your girls were with me from the beginning of my journey and helped me as much as I helped them. We grew together. I loved having daily chats with H and enjoyed helping M grow Confidence in being left with other than you, her mum!. Which was a big decision for you too.

Thankyou for your review. I hope E is doing well at preschool now. I loved watching his confidence grow each day. Even for a short time.

Tarnia TarniToTs Childminding

Fantastic child minder

We used Tarnia for over a year for our twins and we couldn't fault her for anything. Tarnia became like an extension of our family and our children learnt so much being in her care. We give her credit for all the progress they have made during their time with her.
Both our twins have potential additional needs and this never phased Tarnia and she was always on hand to support in any way she could.
I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, fun and caring childminder. For our twins, TarniToTs became like a second home.

Thankyou for your kind words. The twins had such great character and certainly became part of our family. They gave us smiles every day, and watching them grow into confident toddlers to continue their journey to preschool was an honour. I miss them very much, but I'm glad we keep in touch so I can see their development since being with me. Having them visit for trick or treating on Halloween was a special highlight for me this year.

Lovely childminder who goes the extra mile

I engaged Tarnia for my 3 year old son. She has been really lovely and someone i could count on.
We had a few emergency situations and she kindly stepped in on short notice. My son looks forward to going to her place and enjoys the activities planned. Moreover, his vocabulary has improved greatly and he is now more outgoing. Would recommend her if you are looking for someone who goes the extra mile.
