Hello, I’m Louise – a qualified Level 3 childcare provider offering high-quality care for children aged 6 months to 5 years, based in a safe and nurturing home-from-home setting.
I work alongside a co-childminder and two trusted assistants, allowing us to give each child the individual attention they deserve while maintaining a warm, supportive group environment. We are open Monday to Friday (full days) and also provide before and after-school care to support busy families.
Our setting proudly follows the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework, ensuring that all activities and routines promote children’s learning, development, and well-being. We focus on key areas such as communication, physical development, personal and social growth, and early literacy and numeracy through a balance of structured play, exploration, and child-led learning.
We’re committed to working closely with parents, building strong partnerships and keeping you informed every step of the way.

My son has been with Louise just over 2 years! I couldn’t recommend Louise enough. My little boy has so much fun and has learnt so much. Louise is his favourite place to go

Thank you so much for this lovely review we are so lucky to have your little one at our setting xx
My little boy has been with Louise since he was 8months old. She has been amazing with him. Great communication, very accommodating and flexible. My boy has learnt so much there and runs up the driveway to greet them! Expecting another child and will be sending her there from a young age as well.

What a lovely and kind review thank you so much and were extremely excited for another little girl to join the setting xx
Louise has been our childminder for over 3 yrs now and both my children are very fond of her. She’s so flexible and very accommodating and caring.
She has a warm approach to the children and my daughter looks forward to seeing her and always has lots of fun.
Even asks to go at the weekend!

Thank you so much for the lovely review x
My little boy has been coming here for a few years now and I wish I found it when I first went back to work rather then a day nursery. It couldn't be any more of a home from home set up if Louise tried. My little boy has loved going to Louises always goes in happy and coming out laughing and telling me stories of all the fun his had. He is now starting school but will carry on going to Louises before and after school which he is very excited about. All the staff are lovely and I'm so happy that my little boy has attended here.

Thank you for the review I cannot believe he's now all grown up and off to school xx
Our daughter has been with Louise since she was 18 months until she is now going to school. Our daughter really enjoyed every visit twice a week! Louise is nothing but accommodating and will do what she can to help. Safe friendly environment. Well Organised , never let us down not once. We are expecting our second child and will definitely be sending them to Louise too! Even though we live in Epping , it’s worth the very short drive for us. Highly recommended

Thank you for the lovely review I can't believe she's off to school , and will flourish when she starts, we're also extremely excited for the new little edition to arrive xxx
My little boy has been at Tineytots since he was 9 months old and he’s now 3 and a half. He settled in really well from day 1 and I’ve never had tears or problems dropping him off. There’s always been a warm family atmosphere and a friendly welcome for him each morning. He skips in and often forgets to even say goodbye.
I’ve never had any issues - I can’t remember any times that they’ve been shut or cancelled on me and holiday is v.rarely taken and plenty of notice is always given well in advance.
My little one often comes home with things he’s made and the team always put lots of effort in to fun activities especially at Easter, Christmas Halloween etc.
My son has become a confident sociable little boy and I couldn’t recommend Tineytots highly enough

We absolutely have loved having your little one and thank you so much for this lovely review x
Louise is a warm and friendly person who instantly made us feel at ease leaving our baby daughter in her care. Her home is clean, cosy and inviting, and has both educational and play areas for the children. Her communication has been great and our daughter is having a lovely time attending. Would recommend arranging a visit to see for yourself.

Thank you for the lovely review
Louise was one of the many childminders i contacted when i first enquired for a childcare setting for my 2 year old. I was absolutely blown away on the first appointment upon visiting her lovely home. She has an amazing warm set up, and the ambience is great. I signed up straight away. My son has been attending for over 2 months now, and i noticed in just days that he was starting to speak and forming a routine at home. I was extremely concerned about his speech and sought the referral for this, but I am reluctant to follow through as he seems to be speaking now. She has consistently been accomadating to our specific needs and requirements, and i can see my child flourishing with the support and care he is receiving. It is also an absolute relief for me that she provides care for older children in holidays, which is a great help for a working single mother. I would encourage all to secure places with Louise as she has adequate staff and a happy place for all, you will not be disappointed. I feel at ease leaving my children here and can do this without any hesitation or anxiety as i have felt previously, and ofcourse now being in a new area, etc.
