My Summary
About Me
Korins Tiny Tots is currently in pre-registration
We are childminder-led home nursery based in Chingford, offering a warm, nurturing and home-from-home environment for young children.
Our setting is designed for children under 3 years old, with children graduating the term after their 3rd birthday. We provide a calm and engaging space where children feel safe, valued and supported in their early development.
At Korins Tiny Tots, we follow a child-centred, play-based approach to learning, encouraging children to explore their interests and develop at their own pace. Our days are filled with meaningful experiences including outdoor play, sensory activities, creative learning and real-life experiences such as outings and hands-on exploration.
We are fortunate to have a large, secure outdoor space which plays a key role in our daily routine, supporting physical development, curiosity and a love for nature.
Our approach is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), ensuring each child’s learning and development is supported through observation, planning and individual care.
We aim to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and families, creating a supportive environment where every child can thrive.
Key Information:
• I use a secure app as the main communication tool for parents. Through this app, parents will receive daily updates, observations and key highlights of their child’s day, as well as access to their child’s learning journey.
• I will hold termly online parent meetings to discuss the curriculum, learning focus and children’s development, ensuring parents are fully involved in their child’s learning.
• I complete the required 2-year progress checks and ongoing observations to support each child’s development in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
• I provide healthy, home-cooked meals and snacks, with a carefully planned menu that takes into account all dietary requirements and allergies.
We also celebrate a range of special events and occasions throughout the year to create meaningful and memorable experiences for the children.
Our enrichment programme offers a wide range of engaging and meaningful experiences for children. These include outings to local farms, organised private singing and movement sessions, and fun baking activities.
We also provide opportunities for creative expression through special occasion craft-making, and celebrate important moments with events such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gatherings. To mark a key milestone, we host a memorable graduation party for our 3-year-olds as they prepare for their next stage.

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
