My Summary
About Me
Childminder in Torquay, on the harbour.
Hello, I’m Tyla 28, just moved to Torquay in April 2025 from London into a very large 4 bedroom apartment on the beach with a playroom also. I like my nursery to feel like a home from home so children feel happy, comfortable and supported and for them to be able to have fun while they learn. I have a 3 nearly 4 year old son who is super bubbly, happy and loves play time with his mummy and daddy. He’s the happiest most loving boy ever, such a personality with impeccable manners he has ADHD. I have also worked with SEN for many years personally and professionally.
I am reliable, fun loving and committed. I like to keep numbers down so there is plenty of time for 1-1, I think it is very important to children as well as independent supervised play. Days/routine will include messy play (painting, play dough, creativity), baking (I’m a semi professional so always great to teach), lots of outdoor play either walking to parks, beaches, puddle splashing, or petting farms. Love going soft play and swimming. We love music time, stories time, rhyme time and soft play which I have within my nursery. In my home with have soft play, ride on toys, bikes, puzzles, games, sensory toys, trains, lots of books and various toys too, and too many cars to count.
All that will be included in my fees, cakes, pictures or anything made by the children and healthy snacks.
I have been awarded a ‘good’ rating, and have been very appraised for my communication skills, and that every activity I do includes math, English, singing and dancing.
I accept tax free child care, funded from 9months + and free hours.
I still have spaces available always happy to talk through hours, times and rates and to visit my home nursery.

I couldn’t be more at ease leaving my 18 month daughter with Tyla. My daughter goes to Tyla once a week so was worried that it would take a long time for her to settle into her environment. However, it’s clear how content she is there when I drop her off and she goes straight for a cuddle with Tyla.
Tyla provides me regular updates throughout the day with pictures. She takes my daughter to soft play, to the park and does numerous activities with her. Having Tyla as my childminder gives me and my husband peace of mind that our daughter is being highly cared for and her development is being encouraged and supported. We couldn’t be happier.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your review it’s a pleasure having her with us, and watching her grow. Thank you letting me take care of bubba.
I was very nervous of starting childcare with my daughter being so young but needing to get back to work as my maternity leave was nearly up. Tyla has been fantastic in easing this transition. From the first time she cared for my daughter she was brilliant at sending updates and making sure I knew she was happy and safe. Now nearly 6 months later I feel so happy that my daughter has regular care with Tyla and her family. Tyla has been so fantastic and understanding of our childcare needs. She is flexible and adaptable which we need as my partner and I are both self employed with ever changing schedules. She is warm and attentive and our daughter is always happy to spend time with her.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback, it’s been sooo beautiful to have her with us, and to watch her and her personality grow! My boy is so obsessed and loves having (overnight care) sleep overs with her, their bond is lovely. Thank you for letting us have her.
We have had the pleasure of having Tyla as our childminder for the past four months, and we cannot speak highly enough of her. Tyla has been nothing short of fantastic in caring for our 5-year-old daughter, and we are extremely grateful to have her as part of our child's life.
Tyla's dedication and commitment to her role as a childminder are truly commendable. She picks up our daughter from school three days a week and ensures that she is engaged and entertained throughout the afternoon. The variety of activities she plans, such as arts and crafts and occasional baking sessions, keeps our daughter excited and eager to learn. Tyla's creativity shines through these activities, making them both fun and educational.
In our four months with Tyla, we have witnessed her unique and special qualities as a childminder. Her genuine care, kindness, and attentiveness set her apart. Tyla goes above and beyond, engaging our 5-year-old daughter with creative activities and ensuring she feels cherished. The bond formed between our daughter and Tyla's own little boy is truly heartwarming.
We trust Tyla completely, thanks to her professionalism and reliability. She keeps us informed about our daughter's activities throughout the afternoon, demonstrating her commitment to open communication. Tyla is an exceptional childminder, and we consider ourselves fortunate to have found someone who nurtures our child with unwavering love and kindness. If you're seeking a childminder who is one of a kind, we wholeheartedly recommend Tyla.
What sets Tyla apart is the special bond she has formed between our daughter and her own little boy. It's heartwarming to witness the friendship blossoming between them. Their interactions have been incredibly positive and have enriched our daughter's social development. We feel fortunate that our daughter has the opportunity to form a strong relationship with Tyla's little one as well.

Thank you so much for this amazing feedback and glad the feelings are mutual.
Just to start thank you for choosing me (Moonbows) as your nursery of choice, not only am I happy to have you as a part of our family, but my son is too. He can’t get out the buggy quick enough for cuddles with her! There bond truly is so beautiful and we can not wait for our new arrivals to join soon too, with all 3 kids asking to come over and join us.
I’m so glad we get this fantastic opportunity to work along side each other, our little team. Roll on more days out with the little ones! I’ll keep cutting my rosemary bush for you to take some home haha.
Thank you for bringing me and Tristan a new best friend and vice Versa (as your daughter asked if we could be her best friends haha). Here’s to more adventures of learning and fun.
