Colin and Allyson have taken care of my little one for 3 years. I can happily say that they have been more than carers for my little one , almost like family. They welcomed amd help to settle her since she was one and thanks to their support and professionalism they contributed to the blooming of my little one. My daughter absolutely love going there and talks constantly about Colin. The attention for every little detail, the care for a healthy and still delicious meal plan ( my daughter eats certain meals just if Colin or Allyson make it and she wouldn’t eat at home ) makes the a great choise for childcare, the best I could get. We will miss them a lot and I will be always thankful for these years.

Colin has been fantastic for our family. Our son joined his care at just one year old, and it was his first experience with childcare. From day one, Colin ensured he settled in comfortably, providing personalised attention. Colin's dedication to each child's well-being is evident. Our son's social skills thrived, and he genuinely enjoys his time at Colin's. Even for us, as first-time parents, every time we needed advice or support from him, he was there for us. We're immensely grateful for Colin's positive impact on our son. We wholeheartedly recommend him and his team.

My daughter attended Tinytots for a year, since she was 1.5 years. It was her first childcare. Allyson and Colin made sure she settled down comfortably. They provide good individual care for all children. We do not speak English at home. My daughter picked up English from childcare and her vocabulary developed tremendously. She was always well cared for. Her social skills developed very well and she enjoyed going there. They also provide healthy food and avoid all junk food. We were sad to leave them as we had to move out of Cambridge. Even after months, my daughter remembers Allyson and Colin well and they have created a very good impact on her.

Thanks you we miss her a lot I am sure she will go on to to grow in whatever setting she is in.
Good luck for the future
Allyson & Colin
I was looking for a childminder when my daughter was 9 months old and I've been with Allyson now for nearly 2 years and My daughter is very happy every time she goes to them!
The place is kept spotless and Allyson and Colin provide a great environment for the children.
They are also flexible and always available to do extra hours if you need extra care for your child!
We are very pleased!
Thank you both :)

Allyson and her husband Colin took care of our son for almost 2 years and we were sad to leave them. The care they provided was excellent and our son was always very happy with them and they really helped his personality come out as well as helping him to develop in the educational side of things. Tinytots always provided a regular update on his progress and we ended up with a very useful book showcasing all the things he achieved during his time there.
The setup of tinytots really is a best of both worlds as it is both a home and also quite nursery like with a playroom at the back of the house which is for the children full of toys, books and other games. It's always kept spotlessly clean and our son was a very keen tidier so he helped keep it that way! The playroom also leads onto a garden with a playhouse and enough room for a sand and water table as well as a big inflatable water slide in the summer. They keep the garden nice and shady and were in the process of renovating the space when our son left so it is no doubt even better now.
Allyson and Colin are very professional and experienced childminders and we were lucky to have found them. They provide excellent care in a safe, quiet and calm environment and also healthy meals for the children. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a childminder in Cambridge.

We were extremely happy with the care provided at Tiny Tots while our daughter was there. We only moved minders because we moved house. Our daughter was with Allyson and Colin from 5 months old to 2yrs 5 months. She has been so happy there, often talking about them on days she is not with them and excited to arrive in the mornings. She has loved all the friends she has made at TT and they really helped her personality come out, while teaching her good manners and working on educational aspects too. This is all recorded in nicely presented end of term report books.
The setting is homely, with a playroom at the back of the house dedicated to the children. There is a vast selection of colourful toys, books and games. The playroom leads out onto the garden which is especially great in summer when Allyson and Colin get out sand and water play tables under a large parasol. They often go on walks by the river, trips to local shops and playgrounds.
We have always greatly appreciated the professionalism and flexibility. We always felt so lucky that we found childcare we were comfortable with and this made a highly valued difference to the "back-to-work experience".

Our son had a great childcare experience with Allyson and Colin for two months. The only reason we stopped going to them was because we moved away from Cambridge. Jack always came back happy from theirs. They were always very responsive and we felt reassured when he had a cold that Allyson was happy to give him Calpol [she asked us to sign a consent form for this, one of the many signs of a very high level of professionalism]. They always gave us a useful verbal report on how he had got on during the day, and any wet or solid nappies, and how he fared with his food. The space they have for children is very well-equipped. After some stressful childcare experiences, it was a huge relief for us to find Allyson and Colin and to simply not worry about childcare anymore, and know that Jack was in safe and capable hands. If only more childcare providers could be like Allyson and Colin!

We have been blessed to have Allyson and Colin child minding our 2 sons for the past 16 months. They are reliable, professional, caring and hard working. They have helped our youngest go from a stumbling toddler to a running, chatting, happy little boy. They have helped build our older son’s confidence and writing and drawing skills.
The professionalism, organized and expert approach at Tiny Tots is a highlight. The extensive notes, the planning and the documentation of the children’s achievements has given us as parents a better understanding of their developments and what should happen next in their progression. We were kept informed and given advance notice of events and changes. Their forward planning and advance notice helped tremendously as we planned our own schedules. They are very welcome to speak to us about concerns and give advice.
Our sons both enjoyed spending time at Tiny Tots. They enjoyed the garden, the toys and the playhouse. The occasional swimming pool and the wet play time was a highlight of the summers. They enjoyed taking walks by the river and feeding the ducks. They easily made close friends with the other children also attending Tiny Tots. As parents, it was really nice to have so many pictures and crafts be brought home at the end of the day.
We would gladly recommend Allyson and Colin of Tiny Tots to any parent who is looking for a professional, development driven, loving and caring environment

We came to Allyson and Colin after some stressful experiences with unreliable Nanny's and childminders. [This review is only after a few days of our son being looked after them; we will post another review later on]. From our first contact they were responsive, knowledgeable and competent. When we visited we were struck by the calm, caring and organised atmosphere of their set up. Allyson and Colin are extremely qualified at looking after children and this is very evident from their formal qualifications but most of all how they have looked after our son. Like many other parents we were anxious about leaving him with people with didn't know. But he has returned from their care happy and contented and we now wish we had pursued this option earlier! It really makes a huge positive difference to his experience of being a small growing person and our experience as parents with full-time jobs. We would highly recommend them and would be happy to provide a more detailed reference.

My son enjoyed his 6 months at Tiny Tots. Unfortunately we moved houses and sadly had to change him to other childcare providers. To date, my son still talks about Allyson, some days he begs if he could go back to Allyson's place. My son loved everything about Tiny Tots including the food. I highly recommend Tiny Tots to all mums out there looking for childminding services. It is a lovely place, always sparkling clean, very safe and Allyson and her husband are very cheerful and loving people. You are guaranteed of child safety, well-being, healthy eating and happiness. Once again, thank you Tiny Tots for creating everlasting memories for my son.
