My Summary
About Me
Welcome to Luna A Home from Home for Little Ones
Hello! My name is Tatiana, and I’m an experienced and reliable registered childminder with over 15 years in childcare. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children can feel at home, grow in confidence, and thrive through play and exploration.
A Beautiful New Space for Learning & Play
I’m excited to share that we now have a brand new extension, a bright, welcoming nursery space designed specifically with children in mind. It’s fully equipped with a wide range of high-quality resources and materials to support every area of development and to spark creativity, curiosity, and joy.
A Nurturing, Child-Centered Approach
I follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework to ensure that each child’s individual needs are met through structured learning, free play, and child-led exploration. My setting offers a warm, home-from-home atmosphere where children feel secure, supported, and inspired to learn through meaningful experiences.
Activities We Love
I plan a wide variety of engaging activities that support learning through play and suit all interests and developmental stages. Some of our favourite things to do include:
• Arts and crafts
• Sensory play
• Music and singing
• Cooking and baking
• Gardening and exploring nature
• Dancing and movement
• Basic Spanish lessons through songs and fun games
We also make time for regular outings to the local park, library, and playgroups, giving the children opportunities to build confidence, social skills, and enjoy the wider community.

• Over 15 years of hands-on childcare experience
• Reliable and committed to each child’s wellbeing and development
• A warm, loving, and inclusive environment where children are treated as part of the family
• Tailored activities and learning plans to suit each child’s interests and needs
Whether you’re looking for a nurturing place for your baby, toddler, or preschooler, I offer a high-quality childcare setting where your little one will be safe, happy, and supported every step of the way.
Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like to arrange a visit or learn more, I’d love to welcome you and your child into our little community!

My son has been in Tatiana’s care since January 2024, and our experience has been excellent. As he now transitions to school, I am deeply grateful for the strong foundation she has provided.
Tatiana’s setting is warm, bright, and thoughtfully organised, filled with engaging materials that encourage exploration and learning. She ensures the children enjoy a healthy, balanced diet each day, further supporting their overall well-being. Quiet, cosy corners and open spaces for group activities allow every child to feel comfortable and included.
Each day, my son returns home happy and eager to share something new, a song, an art project, or a discovery from play. Tatiana’s well-planned activities and monthly themes keep children engaged and excited. Her communication is clear and regular, always keeping us informed of progress and milestones.
What truly sets Tatiana apart is her genuine kindness and dedication. She fosters an environment where every child feels valued and secure. I could not ask for a better childminder and wholeheartedly recommend Tatiana to any parent seeking exceptional care for their child.

My son has been with Tatiana since Sept 2022 and my daughter since April 2024 and I would not want them to go anywhere else. My son is now about to go to school and the thought of him leaving such a caring environment where is been allowed and encouraged to grow and learn is a shock to the system (not least because school hours are ridiculously short). But I also know he is the most prepared and as ready as he will ever be to go to School because of the environment he has found himself in at Tatiana's.
I have watched my son grow from a clingy baby who cried for the first 3 weeks when with Tatiana (another nod to Tatiana's patience and care and love) to someone so independent and ready for what he now calls 'big school'.
Tatiana provides the best of what a nursery provides as well as the flexibility of a childminder. She is not a childminder in the traditional sense of the word. She follows a curriculum and send regular updates and photos everyday as well as a synopsis of the days events at the end of each day
She provides a well thought out monthly and daily planner at the start of each month which follows a theme and the children are taught across a wide range of subjects and material.
They are taught how to read, write and count, and alongside this they are also learning Spanish too.
Tatiana has also been very patient with us as parents and very flexible when needed. She looked after our son for a few nights when our daughter was born and we had to stay in hospital for example, and she has looked after them outside of our agreed hours/days on occasions when we needed her to.
Food is freshly prepared and varied, always nutritious and enjoyed by my children.
My son and daughter are both so happy at Tatiana's and I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to her.
I know it is time for our son to leave, and he is now ready to go as well, but he will always carry great memories of his time there and the friends he has made.
There is a bit of sadness in my heart that he is growing up and having to move on but with gratitude and respect to a loving and caring environment that he has been provided with over the last 3 years.

My daughter has been with Tatiana since December 2022 and I could not be happier with the care provided. She has activities (learning and fun) planned in advance for the whole month with a main theme, which I find exceptionnally well organised and thought. The children are not only having fun through a variety of activities but they learn on a daily basis (counting, writting, reading, but also cultural worldwild events, litterature...). I love that my daughter knows some spanish words and is brough up in a international environment (as hers and at home). It allows the kids to be so open minded. The food is freshly cooked and seems delicious (especially the Columbian inspired meals). Tatiana is communicating very well and always takes the time to speak to us about the day or how to support best our kids. Finally, I highly appreciate her understanding and flexibility. In a nutshell, my daughter is very happy and I fully trust the care that Tatiana is providing.
