So much more than a childminder

We honestly cannot put into words how grateful we are to Tanya for everything she has done for our family over the past four and a half years.
She has been so much more than just a childminder- she has been loving, caring and offers a warm, homely environment for the children.

Tanya has watched our girls grow, supported them through so many milestones and given them lots of wonderful memories. We get lots of photographs sent at the end of each week of what the children have been up to. Including park visits, local groups, National trust, Slimbridge, museums, garden centres and the aquarium, just to name a few. Tanya has endless ideas for keeping the children busy when spending time at home and they have great fun with all of the seasonal activities!

We couldn’t have wished for anyone better to care for our girls and it’s clear how much Tanya genuinely cares about the children.

It was an emotional end to a very special chapter with both our girls and we are very lucky that our little boy will get to experience the same in due course. We have recommended to friends who have also gone on to use Smiling Monkeys!

Thank you Tanya, we couldn’t have wished for anyone better to care for our children ♥️
