I recently went to view Korin’s Tiny Tots for my son and honestly came away feeling really good about it. The setting feels so warm and homely, which is exactly what I was hoping for—it just makes you feel like your child would settle in really easily.
Korin was lovely and took the time to explain everything, which made the whole viewing and joining process feel really relaxed and straightforward. I didn’t feel rushed at all and could tell she genuinely cares about the children and the environment she’s created.
The garden space is great—really safe and toddler-friendly—and inside there’s a nice mix of toys and learning activities, but still with that cosy home feel.
Overall, such a positive experience so far and I’m really happy with my choice. Looking forward to my son starting here.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a pleasure having you and your lovely family visit. Looking forward to being an important part of your son’s early learning.
We have been to view Korin’s Tiny Tots and were blown away with the set up and the enrichment opportunities available for my children. From Montessori learning, quiet safe spaces, inclusivity and inviting opportunities to learn through play both inside and outdoors this setting has covered it all. My children did not want to leave. Korin was so welcoming and friendly and my children felt immediately at ease and ready to explore.

Thank you so much for your kind words Rachel :)
My 20 month older daughter absolutely flourishes during her stay at Korins Tiny Tots. I love the home environment, it made settling her in that bit smoother. She loves the outdoor garden space available, with soft artificial grass, this is super toddler friendly and makes play that bit cleaner. Korin has such a variety of educational toys, blended with home comforts. It makes for such a great learning environment and feels like home. Thank you for all you do Korin!

Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 It was lovely meeting you during the viewing, and I’m so pleased to hear that the home environment helped make the settling process feel that little bit easier for your daughter.
I always aim to create a calm, welcoming space where children can feel comfortable from the very beginning, so it’s really nice to know that came across. I’m glad you liked the garden area as well—it’s something I’ve put a lot of thought into to make it safe, practical, and enjoyable during those early settling-in days.
It was a pleasure showing you around and getting to know you both, and I look forward to starting your daughter’s learning journey and providing care for her when I am officially open.
Thank you again for your lovely feedback
