Tanya Re

Really good experienced childminder

Tanya has looked after both my boys with additional needs.
My eldest is 10 and she looks after him before and after school. He is non verbal and autistic and she is so understanding and adaptive of his needs. It’s always a worry that he can’t talk but knowing he is laughing and smiling going and leaving is all we want. She helped us when nobody would give us the time of day. Tanya provided a pecs board so my son could communicate and encouraged him to take part in activities with other children. We all feel so welcomed into her home.
My youngest son has a lot of unwanted behaviours but Tanya always knew how to handle this and get the best out of him. She taught him some makaton signs which he still uses now. He thrived while under her care and we only moved him to a nursery setting to make the transition to school a little easier for him.
I’ve been so impressed with the support and care both my boys have received - especially as a SEN mum - I don’t trust anybody but I 100% trust Tanya to do right by my sons.

5*

It’s never an easy decision finding childcare for your child especially as a first time mum. When I met Tanya I instantly knew my child would be cared for, stimulated and have their days filled with love and laughter. My child has been minded for for over a year now and always comes home happy. Often talking about Tanya and their friends. Tanya goes above and beyond to entertain the children daily and their days are often filled with days out which was so important to me when choosing childcare. I’m always made aware of how they’ve been/slept/eaten and sent so many pictures that make me feel a lot less guilty and more involved. I couldn’t be happier with our choice and I know my child is thriving because of the care they receive.

You need Tanya in your life!

We cannot recommend Tanya highly enough as a childminder. Our eldest daughter started with Tanya in 2020. During this time, Tanya gave her the very best start to her educational journey. Through fun, structured activities, encouragement and endless patience, she helped build our daughter’s confidence, independence and love of learning.

Tanya has every quality you would hope for in a childminder and more. She is kind, nurturing, reliable, professional and incredibly attentive to each child’s individual needs. She creates a safe, stimulating and happy environment where children are supported emotionally, socially and developmentally. Communication is excellent, and we always felt completely reassured knowing our child was in such capable and caring hands.

Tanya is so exceptional that when our second daughter was born in 2024, there was no question about where she would go — we put her name down to start with Tanya in September 2024. From day one, Tanya has showered her with love and care, just as she did with our first child.

Every morning, our daughter runs into Tanya’s with excitement and is always greeted with a friendly, warm smile. Seeing how happy and settled our children were and are speaks volumes. If you know your child is happy, safe and loved, what more could you want?

Tanya is truly one of a kind and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her care for both of our children.

Excellent provider

Tanya has cared for my daughter for a while now, initially when i was searching for a minder, i was scared as i have always cared for my daughter myself, but tanya slowly helped her transition , my daughter is always happy to go to tanyas, she also made friends there as well.

Would highly recommend

Our daughter has been looked after by Tanya for amongst 5 years. She’s now at school but still loves going after school a few days per week and in the school holidays. She has absolutely thrived since being there. From day one we felt completely at ease leaving her in her care. She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about each child. She goes above and beyond for us as a family, offering extra support where needed. They do lots of an activities, out and about and at home, they go to the park, the beach, soft play, tots groups etc. She keeps things fun, stimulating and age-appropriate, and the communication with parents is brilliant – we always know how our daughter’s day has been. She is great with helping with potty training, giving up dummies, putting their own coats on, learning new skills. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

My little boy loves it here

My little one has been with Tanya since he was 7 months old, he loves it here. He is welcomed and cared for every day and he jumps with joy, to go and see his friends and see what fun filled days they have in store. He has developed so many new skills and continues to grow his little personality. Thank you for all your hard work.

Highly recommend, you won’t find better!

We couldn’t be happier with our childminder. She has been absolutely amazing with my daughter, who has been going to her since she was just six months old. From the very beginning, my daughter has always been happy and excited to go, which says everything.
She has done a fantastic job with potty training and teaching important early skills like counting, all in a fun and engaging way. There is always music, dancing, laughter, and lots of learning through play. The children are regularly taken out on lovely trips, including visits to the zoo and the beach, which has been such a wonderful experience for them.
Her discipline methods are excellent — calm, fair, and very effective — and the children are always treated with so much love, care, and respect. It truly feels like a home-from-home environment where the kids feel safe, supported, and have great fun every day.
I feel completely confident leaving my daughter in her care and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, dedicated, and fun childminder 💛
