Tinyfeet Childcare's Reviews

Very happy with my childrens childcare

Both my children are with Dani and Becky 3 days per week. I have a pre-schooler and a 1 year old. Dani and Becky provide a great service. I am really confident of the service they provide. My kids are out and about most days doing all sorts of activities. Dani and Becky really care about the wellbeing of my kids and have advised us and supported us in all sorts of ways, both in terms of practical tips and developmental support. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Excellent and attentive

My daughter was with Danielle and Becky from age 1. She adored them, so did I. She had extremely sensitive skin and at this age suffered awful nappy rash, they were the only carers able to cope with this and let her run about with her nappy off whenever possible. She ate a wide and varied healthy diet with them (how they got her to eat so much garlic and fruit I'll never know!) got her out and about, kept her cleaner than I ever managed, and they were just brilliant with her. They are frank and communicative, gentle and fair, and set a really good example of parenting values and manners which are important to me. We have remained friends despite us moving away, and they are such a great source of advice and help and genuine care, they're a pair of proper Londoners with a wide network of friends and family (need a ticket to the Arsenal? they probably can help! Need a babysitter or a hairdresser? they can DEFINITELY help! ;)) I would recommend to anyone.

Best childminder in Islington

I know Danielle and Becky for more than 4 years and they helped me out so many times. I used them mostly for emergency childcare, they were always so happy to help, they always found a solution to solve my problem. My daughter is very shy, but Danielle and Becky knew how to break the ice and she always had a great time in their house. Also my daughter fell in love with Danielle's daughters (they have their mum s lovely personality and they like children so much) and she is keep asking whether she can go back to Danielle's house to play with all the children. As a panicking mum, it was very reassuring that Danielle's partner is an early years practitioner as well, so I was relaxed that my child is surrounded by professional. Danielle and Becky are very friendly and they never stop smiling, they always stop by and talk to my daughter, even though now she is at school. I highly recommend them to everyone.

A true find - highly recommended!

We would highly recommend Danielle and Becky as childminders. We are very lucky to found such caring, friendly, professional childminders. Our eldest son has been going to them full time for the past 3 years and has flourished leaps and bounds within their care. Having now started school he is with them a couple days a week after school. Our youngest has now started with them and being a clingy baby has really now started to thrive in their care. With their extensive experience and knowledge with all ages groups they have helped and supported us with the development of both boys.

With no immediate family in town, they have helped us out with evening babysitting and overnight stays. We feel totally comfortable and confident in leaving our children in their hands knowing that they have their best interests at heart.

Danielle and Becky have become like part of our extended family and the boys always look forward to spending time with them.

Loving, caring and stimulating environment

I have been using Tinyfeet childcare for the last 6 years – starting with my first daughter when she was 9 month, adding the second shortly after she turned 1 and moving to school drop off / pick up and after school care once the girls started school.
My girls love the caring and supportive and stimulating environment and both Dani and Becky feel like family. Having a mix of ages enabled my girls to grow up with what at times felt like brothers and sisters. Due to the group dynamic, both my girls developed great social skills while still having the consistent and attentive care of a childminder.
I was especially impressed by their support after my youngest had to change her diet when she was diagnosed with coeliac disease.

Highly recommended childminders

My 2 year old daughter has been with Becky and Danielle for just over a year. She is always made to feel very welcome and the setting is homely. She is always excited when I drop her off and happily playing when I collect her at the end of the day.

There is a lovely little group of other children there for my daughter to play with and she seems to be very fond of them all, often talking about them, as well as of Becky and Danielle. Each day they are involved in a variety of fun and stimulating activities. It's also great that the children are of different ages so my daughter is learning to play with her peers, as well as learning lots from those older than her.

Danielle and Becky are very professional, experienced and trustworthy. I never feel concerned about my daughter when she's with them and the occasional text from them with pictures of what the gang have been up to always reassures me - and brings a smile to my face! They are very friendly, flexible and helpful, often offering good advice on all matters to do with raising a (strong-minded!) 2 year old.

My daughter is incredibly happy here, so I couldn't ask for more and highly recommended Becky and Danielle.

Very good and professional

My daughter has been with Becky and Danielle since she was 9 months old and I have always been very happy. They have given me many tips on how to control a growing toddler and whenever I collect her she seems to know more words and is more chatting than at any other times. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended

I can't recommend Danielle and Becky enough. We were with them for three years and two kids, and were gutted to have to move house and have to leave. They have a lovely home from home environment with a family feel. The kids did fantastic activities, ate well, learned so much and came home happy and worn out. They prepared my daughter for school brilliantly, and fully supported us as a working family. Their knowledge, advice and flexibility were much appreciated and we all miss them loads.

a home from home

Danielle and Becky are impressive and caring childminders. My son has been with them before school for the past 2 years and my daughter was desperate to join him this September. Our children are cared for, involved and welcomed into the family each morning. Other children who are in the setting all day are involved in a wide range of interesting and challenging activities as well as play with excellent behaviour, healthy eating expected in a supportive and loving environment. As a working Mum, i always feel I have their support if I'm running late or missing a school activity. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Couldn't have wished for better childminders

Danielle and Becky are just wonderful, as are Danielle's children and partner. They provided a caring, fun, stimulating home from home for my daughter who was with them from 12 months to when she started school. Sadly we moved out of the area which meant we reluctantly had to find an alternative childminder. The relationship and partnership they build with children and parents is second to none and as a result, despite the journey, our daughter still goes to them for a week every summer to maintain the relationship. They go above and beyond. I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting a setting that feels reassuringly homely and caring and like an extension to the family whilst always maintaining professional boundaries. This setting is fantastic!
