Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Toni. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
If you need a Childminder in S12, look no further. My 3yo daughter has been with Toni since September 2017 (started with her when she was 8 months). Like most parents, I looked around to find the right childminder, the second I went to Toni's I knew she was right for us. Toni is the most friendly, honest, reliable, hard working person and has the most natural welcoming manner. She will instantly put you at ease about leaving your children with her. My daughter was with her full time up to her starting nursery in Sept this year and now with her all afternoons and I honestly don't know what I would do without her. Quite happy to speak to anyone who needs any further assurance that Toni is amazing. Just mesaage me :)
Trust me when you meet her, you will know....

Thanks so much Grace xxxxx
I moved to Gleadless 2 years ago and was really gutted about leaving my previous childminder, I was worried I wouldn't find another childminder to fill her very important space, but when I found Toni I was relieved. My kids think she's brilliant and so do I! She provides educational activities whilst making sure the kids are having fun. Both my girls have come on leaps and bounds and she has played a huge part in that. She provides a daily diary for the kids so i can see what they have been up to for the day and has also been very accommodating in all areas. I could not recommend Toni enough and I hope that she will be looking after my girls for many years to come.

My daughter Anna (now 2.5) has been with Toni since she was about 1, and we couldn't be happier. To sum Toni up in a few words, she loves her job, and this shows in everything she does for the kids. Toni provides a calm yet stimulating environment in which kids are free to develop at their own pace. She welcomes children as if they are part of her own family, and kids feel loved and thrive under her care. From story time, to card making, to drawing, to the outings to the park or museum, to the fun times in the garden, Toni always provides great entertainment for the little ones. Anna has come on in leaps and bounds since being at Toni's, and she always comes home with a smile on her face and lots of stories to tell. Toni is organised and efficient, and she takes her job very seriously- i.e., she doesn't do personal trips to the supermarket while she's working, and never uses the car with minded children, two things that add to the great service she provides.
I foresee Anna being under Toni's care for a long time to come. If you're looking for a trusted person to leave your little one with, you won't be disappointed.

I was very nervous at the prospect of returning to work and my daughter going to a childminder but Toni was absolutely amazing. She very quickly calmed any fears I had, and helped my daughter settle in brilliantly. She provides a very well organised and professional service as well as remaining flexible and having a caring and fun atmosphere. I loved the communication book that Toni would send home too and reading how kayla had been that day, if she'd napped or eaten her dinner etc.
My daughter was always very bright and happy after spending the day there and she would ask to go to Tonis even on days she wasn't!
Toni also provided additional care for my 4 year old daughter during the school holidays and I know she also really enjoyed the time she spent with Toni.
We're very sad to say bye to Toni and I know she will definitely be missed by both me and my girls!

Toni provided a fantastic service for our little boy Arthur. She made us both feel so comfortable in what can be an upsetting experience for mum and child!
Once Arthur settled in, he loved going to Toni's house and the communication book really helped. She writes in exactly how many nappies she has changed, how much they have eaten and what activities they have been up to throughout the day.
I would thoroughly recommend Toni's services for anyone looking for a childminder in the Gleadless area.
