Our little girl has been with Tory since she was 7 months old. A year has passed so quickly.
Thanks to Tory, Katie and John our daughter has developed so quickly.
It’s really helped her to become a social confident baby / toddler.
She’s learning so quickly. Her speech, understanding, social skills, independence and mobility.
We get daily photos or videos of her taking part in so many different activities.
They take her to playgroup twice a week exposing her to even more people and children.
There’s no way we could keep our little gem (Minx) so busy and so engaged for so long.
You can see that she’s just so happy.
Tory is full of advice and tips if there’s a problem.
The food is all homemade and our daughter loves it.
There’s a daily diary completed without fail.
We would highly recommend Tory, and have done to a couple of friends and colleagues.

Our two children have been going to Tory for nearly 18 months and I honestly can’t recommend her enough.
The setting is ideal for playing, learning and really is a home from a home. My toddler daughter goes there 3 days a week and her development has been incredible in all areas. She absolutely loves it and is always talking about her little friends and Tory, Katie (Tory’s assistant) and Tory’s family. She especially loves playing with Tory’s teenage daughter and sometimes doesn’t want to come home with me if she’s there after school!
Tory takes the kids to playgroups, the beach, local parks for picnics, sports days etc. and sends lovely photos throughout the day. She keeps an early years book for each of the kids and updates it every night with key achievements.
Tory’s husband does all the cooking and both my kids love the food.
I couldn’t recommend Tory enough.

We started sending our little boy to Tory when he was only 8 month old. Very quickly all my concerns and anxiety went away as I can tell my son has been taken very good care of and he is happy everyday. My son suffered from eczema quite seriously, Tory stood in our shoes, tried all means to help us control the situation and provided us with a lot of suggestions. The setting of the place is also very good, instead of staying indoor all the time, lots of activities have been arranged. All the kids will go out to get fresh air and attending play groups on a weekly basis. The activities allows my son to have social exposures but at the mean time, well protected from illness. The atmosphere is very good as well, make you feel like a big family! Tory is definitely one of the bests and I recommended her to my friends as well.

Our darling son has been with Victoria since he was a year old and we couldn't be happier with her whole approach. To us, her setting offers the right balance of bespoke care and opportunities to socialise with other children of similar as well as different ages. The play environment is wonderful, the outings are fun and varied, and our DS enjoys all the meals he gets. DS and we as first time parents have learnt so much with histories help (getting him to self settle for naps, to use the potty). We think ourselves so lucky to have found her!

Tory has been an absolute life saver, she looked after my son Chester for just a few months whilst I found someone more local to me in Tonbridge. I am absolutely gutted to be moving my son but the travel has got too much.
Chester settled in so well and Tory treated him like he was one of her own. It is so comforting knowing he was in a safe, fun, friendly, lovely environment.
She is great for sending pictures during the day of all the activities he has been up to, amazing cook he was eating his vegetables with her which he would never do at home!
I would highly recommend Tory to anyone. 5***** from us!
Thank you so much.

My two children (aged 6 and 4 now) have been with Tory for two years and not a day has gone by when they haven't been excited and happy to go to her setting. They thoroughly enjoy all of the activities that Tory provides, and I suspect often have far more fun there than at home with Mum and Dad! I feel really lucky to have found someone who provides such a great environment for them to thrive in.
Tory provides a really active environment for children, lots of outdoors activity, and lots of proactive learning and development. She provides a healthy, balanced diet and lots of exercise and fun. All year around they are out on adventures, playing in the woods or helping in the garden. My son (aged 4 now) has grown and learnt so much in the last year and is very ready to start school in September, despite being young for his year. Tory always appears tolerant and patient with the children she cares for, whilst ensuring they learn good manners / are well behaved and treat others with kindness.
Tory's setting is really homely, and I know my children feel like the other children in her care (and especially Tory's own family!) are an extension of their own family. Each and every time I pick them up they are disappointed to have to leave and come home.
I really cannot recommend Tory highly enough.

Tory has been looking after my 2 precious kids for over 3 years. She has a marvellous playroom, goes for long walks in parks and woods, cooks healthy food including vegs! My kids always enjoyed going to her for the day, mixing up with other children from different ages and background. When you pick your children up at 6pm, you have the mind at peace knowing they had a good dinner and they're just ready for a bath and a long night sleep. Tory has the perfect recipe where she mixes fun, development of your child social skills, learning (shapes, numbers, alphabet, etc) and respect of your surrounding world. I would highly recommend her!

I am so pleased that we found Tory and her setting late last year. Our son has been to a couple of other childminders prior and has really settled well with Tory, who is quite frankly, an exceptional individual. You can clearly see so much time, effort and care has been taken to create a joyful, educational and sensory haven for the kids here. We also now have a great relationship with Tory which is an added bonus and we feel like our little boy is part of her family.
Tory loves to get all the kids out and about and do outside activities in the fresh air but also has the most amazing playroom for when indoors.
We know that our son is in the best hands and is given the utmost support and care. Tory has great attention to detail and always goes above and beyond to find ways to help and encourage learning or even to get our son to eat some veg! (Of which she has accomplished)
We have seen such a big difference in our son’s development since being with Tory and he was behind with his development and in need of a lot of direction, encouragement and support.
We highly recommend Victoria as a childminder and want to say a big thank you for everything she does, just exceptional.

We're so happy to have found Tory last summer, after the first lock-down. She is a fantastic childminder, and she has a relaxed, caring, no-nonsense approach. She has children of all ages, from toddlers to primary school, and all respect her. She provides a lovely environment in her setting together with high-quality homecooked food.
She loves the outdoors and takes the children out every day (rain or shine), which they really enjoy. Tory also teaches them to appreciate and be respectful of nature and animals, which is so important. In addition, she goes above and beyond on special occasions for the children to feel special on their birthdays or taking them out on day trips.
We have definitely seen our little one's confidence and communications skills grow since being with Tory, which is great.

My children have been with Victoria for 7 years. I am so pleased that I found her to look after them and she has become a good friend. The children couldn’t be happier and love their time with her. Victoria has a wonderful home and play room, with plenty of toys and educational activities for all ages. Victoria visits toddler groups and organises lots of activities, particularly outside for them including a safe, tidy and homely garden with a play house, sandpit and veg patch. She also lives near a local park so the children spend a lot of time there after school.
The children in her care are of all ages, from babies to junior, and they all play wonderfully together, help and look out for each other. The childrens welfare and safety is always Victoria’s priority. She is open and honest providing great support and advice. She is extremely well organised and the children all understand before and after school routines and are exceptionally well behaved. She provides a friendly, nurturing and warm environment for the children to develop and thrive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Victoria.
