After having a few bad experiences with nursery’s we decided to try out a child minder I was really concerned about this and reluctant after reading Tina’s reviews we decided we would give it a try and I’m so glad we did tons is absolutely amazing my son doesn’t take to many people but he loves going to Tina every morning Tina has my son full time through the week and she also takes my daughter to school and picks her aswell which enables me to work my full times job,tins takes such good care of all the kids she looks after they do fun activity’s every day they go to the park and have Yummy meals Tina has become a huge part of not only my children’s but my life too and will always have a place in our hearts. Tina is the best priced childminder i have seen very reasonable and will always go out of her way to help .

After struggling to find anyone to pick up our daughter up from a special needs school Tina came to our rescue. She formed a lovely bond with our daughter. Tina and her family were inclusive and not phased by my daughter's issues. Our daughter loved spending time with Tina

It was my absolute pleasure, shes such a beautiful natured girl and your such a lovely family, all the luck for the future xxx
My son Omari has been going to Tina’s since he was in reception and he is now in year 6. I couldn’t of asked for anyone better to mind my child. Tina and her family treats Omari as part of the family. Omari enjoys going Tina’s. Tina has been very support live of both my son and I throughly difficulties and even when I need advice on something. I would recommend Tina any day to anyone, she is a very caring and loving person.

Tina seemed great when i met her. Excellent setting and fantastic attitude. In fact I thought she was so great we had an agreement she would look after my son. A week before she was gonna start looking after him I got in touch to confirm everything and she CANCELLED, she said she’d filled the space. She didn’t even have the decency to let me know she wasn’t going to look after him. Avoid.

Tina has looked after my two girls 10 and 2 years old for nearly 2 years I have never faulted her service. She is on time and reliable. Her house is immaculate and the children are always well fed on home cooked meals. Tina and her family have always gone above and beyond to help us and both my girls have formed a really good relationship with her. Can not fault this childminder on anything recommend others to use her. ?????

My sons time spent with Tina was a most enjoyable and happy time for him, she was like a second mum to him when he was in her care, she's always been caring, kind and understanding with my son and the other children she looks after. She's attentive and always puts their needs first. Tina is always professional and if she has any concerns always goes out of her way to speak to me about them and also puts my mind at ease if I have any. My son would come home each week with projects that they had done together whether it be painting, baking or making. Tina has a wide variety of activities for the children to do and interacts with them on their level whilst making sure they are learning. Her home was always clean and tidy and I had no concerns over hygiene. I would recommend Tina to anyone that is looking for someone to mind their child/children in a heart beat.

She looked after my kids from January 2017and just terminated my contract without any notice period while the contract stated 1months notice. So if she is taking your kids after mine know she is lying because she says she wants to cut down on the number of kids. She sent me a message at 8:30pm on Wednesday the 8th of March 2017 terminating my contract.So be sure she might terminate your contract at any time without giving you notice period.You are more likely to spend more getting an emergency child minder because of her weekly excuses.
