My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Tatyana, and I am a Level 3 Early Years Educator with a passion for providing the best environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive. With over 17 years of experience in childcare and as a mother of two daughters, I understand the importance of a nurturing, stimulating, and safe space where children can explore, build confidence, and develop essential life skills.
My approach to early childhood education is centered on creating a warm, engaging, and inclusive atmosphere where children feel valued and supported. Every child is unique, and I tailor activities to suit their individual interests and developmental needs. I strive to foster curiosity, creativity, and self-expression while supporting children’s social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
A key feature of my setting is my spacious garden, providing countless opportunities for outdoor learning, sports, and play. Outdoor play is vital for childhood development, enhancing physical coordination, problem-solving skills, and a connection with nature. Whether children are engaging in team sports, exploring sensory activities, or simply enjoying the fresh air, my outdoor space encourages active learning and imaginative play.
Indoors, my large playroom is stocked with a diverse collection of toys designed to support all areas of child development. From educational resources that promote literacy and numeracy to creative materials that inspire artistic expression, my playroom offers plenty of opportunities for learning through play. Role-playing, storytelling, building activities, and hands-on exploration are all part of our daily routine, ensuring children are engaged, challenged, and supported.
As a childcare provider, I am committed to creating a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where children feel happy and secure. I believe in building strong relationships with both children and parents, ensuring open communication and a shared commitment to each child’s well-being.
My goal is to help children develop a love for learning, independence, and confidence while ensuring their early years are filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful experiences.
If you are looking for a nurturing, experienced, and passionate childcare provider, I would love to welcome your child into my setting!

Tatyana, along with her team, are really doing a wonderful job. You can tell she genuinely cares about the children and their development. She supported my toddlers patiently as they settled in, which made a big difference in those early days.
They can be quite fussy with food, but she and her staff have taken the time to adapt meals so they actually eat well and enjoy the home cooked food, which I really appreciate.
Her setting is spotless and clean.
It’s been lovely to see my boys grow in confidence and start to thrive. They’re happy, engaged, and genuinely enjoy going each day. I also value the regular updates on their development, it gives real reassurance and helps me feel connected to what they’re doing.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her setting to other parents.

Thank you very much Sophia for your kind comment. It means a lot to us. Kind regards, Tatyana
Tatyana has been caring for my son since 16months, she ensured he was well settled in and comfortable within her setting before him starting fully. She makes sure all the kids are all happy and has back to back activities for them to keep them engaged. My son is always happy to go in and fully trusts Tatyana . I’m very happy with the care she provides to my son.

As a first time mom I was super nervous about leaving my baby, however Tatyana has been so excellent, so professional and warming that any apprehensions I had, have gone!
She cares so much about the children, their development and of course fun! Each day they are given fun filled educated activities to help them understand our world better. Super creative sessions for them, I love seeing what my son has made and later comes home with!
The setting is exceptionally clean, everything is organised which gives me so much peace as a mum! She even makes the children such thought through food for the children.
She has learnt my little boy so well, his needs, his likes and dislikes which is so comforting. He loves going to the nursery.
Tatyana’s communication is exceptional, we are always updated with things happening at the nursery, events, topics they are learning about - she really is a great great childminder! Highly recommended

Dear Ella_Su
Thank you so much for your kind review.
It
Tatyana and her team having showed nothing but patience and kindness to my son, who struggled with separation anxiety when he first joined , my now son loves going and smiles on the way in and on the way home.
Since attending Sunny Sky’s, my son’s social skills have come on leaps and bounds.
Sunny Sky’s is a very warm and welcoming place, and I couldn’t recommend more.

Dear Allison!
Thank you so much for your kind review.
Tatyana has been nothing short of wonderful, my 2 year old has been with her a couple months now and he has developed in such a short time! He was home with a nanny for for over a year so wanted a good fit of home setting but still learning and having structure to prep him for school in a couple years. Honestly Tatyana and her team have ticked both boxes, they have designated times for learning and have a lot of outdoor play which I love as it’s best of both worlds. They also give lots of cuddles if needed so the nurturing aspect is also more than covered.
They update you on absolutely everything on the app used including meals, nappies, naps and just really nice pictures and videos so I have never felt nervous or worried about him!

Our little girl settled so easily with Tatyana and Filiz, they made her feel so comfortable and she absolutely adores them both! We couldn’t be happier with our choice and are so grateful for them.

Dear Jessica!
Thank you so much for your kind review.
We couldn’t be happier with Tatyana. Our 10-month-old absolutely loves spending time with her, especially playing the piano together! It’s clear she creates a warm, fun, and engaging environment that supports our baby’s development. We always feel confident knowing our child is in such caring hands. Highly recommended!
