Tanya wa's Reviews

Absolutely amazing

Used Tanya again for my 2nd child. She is amazing. She accommodates for you any way she can. Both my children have gone to Tanya and both want to go back (oldest being 8) she is amazing with all the children she cares for and treats them as her own family. She always interacts with the children and takes them to a variety of places. Her setting is also amazing. Clean toys and resources are all looked after and not broken. She also tries to follow the same programs as schools (nursery age) she adapts to the different children's needs and works with you with any issues you might have. My LG had a milk allergy when she was younger and Tanya easily adapted foods etc that she would give her. Her food is aways home made healthy choices with a few treats now and again.
The only reason my children left was to go to full time school. I would and have recommended Tanya to anyone asking for a childminder in the area. She is amazing. Thank you for all your support love and help over the years.

Excellent Childcare

Tanya is amazing she goes over and above for all her children. Shes looked after my little boy from around 9 months and it's hard to believe he's starting reception and leaving. Jamie loved going to Tanya's and has learnt so much in doing so. Cannot praise her enough for what she has done for both myself and Jamie over the years I will definitely be back with the 2nd child. (if she has space) definitely the best choice I made for Jamie. It says a lot when your child cry's to go to Tanya's and asks "is it Tanya's day" she is like part of the family and gives the children a home from home feeling when they are there.

Thank you for such a lovely review x x x

Excellent childcare

Tanya has looked after both of my girls over the last 8 years. My youngest daughter started with her at the age of one and settled in really quickly. From the moment she started I never had any problems leaving her with Tanya as I knew she was safe and was always really busy going to various playgroups, parks and doing activities in the home so the days flew by. Tanya provides a caring, stimulating environment for all children of different ages so they are constantly learning and are never bored. She provides nutritious meals, snacks and drinks each day.
Tanya always informed me of what they had done throughout the day and how they had been and I knew that if there was anything I needed to discuss with her she was always willing to listen.
When it came to them starting school Tanya was able to still collect them so that I didn't have to adjust my working hours and was able to accommodate longer hours in the school holidays. My oldest daughter started secondary school last year and she was really sad to leave as she enjoyed going there so much and this is now the same for my youngest daughter. Whenever my girls are out people comment on how well behaved and polite they are and I have no doubt that this is in part down to Tanya as she has instilled in them good behaviour and manners whilst they have been with her as I do at home so there was always consistency with standards of behaviour.
They have both made some really good friends over the years who they will keep in contact with and I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a home from home environment.

Thank you for the lovely review x

lAmazing

I am so glad that Tanya had space when me and my partner decided to put our little boy into a childminders,for his social development.
He was with her for 2 half years and he loved every minute, he had meant some lovely little friends.
He came on so much once he started and watching the other children.
There was structure and he know where he was going each day and always came home telling us what he had done.
Tanya took them out for day trips, to different play groups, parks for walks and play areas.
She also had time in the home, where she has some much for the children to do in and out and did different activities,playing dress ups and ready and signing.
She was so supportive through the difference stages of my growning boy.
She always communicate with us and had a little book with what he had done and eaten that day.
I couldn't of asked for a better childminder,I could leave him for the day as I have a complete trust in her.

Thank you danni for the lovely comments, it great to know that you felt that way and that tyler enjoyed his time here. He grew so quickly and made many friends along the way. It was sad to say goodbye but know he is looking forward to starting his school nursery and will have lots of fun x

Outstanding, amazing childcare

From the first visit I knew that my daughter Chloe would be happy here, she was 3 yrs old and had experienced a private day care facility. Chloe had issues around food, with Tanyas help and support Chloe not only made amazing progress but gained confidence to try new foods due to the range of meals that were offered to her. Chloe blossomed at Tanya's, I noticed straight away how settled and happy she was. She talked about all the activities and play groups she went to with her new friends. When the weather was not so good Chloe still enjoyed playing in Tanyas with all the facilities there. Due to the all weather garden she still got lots of fresh air and outdoor play.
The minute I fell pregnant I booked a place for my son. Jack started Tanya's when he was 5 months old. I work full time so Jack was with Tanya for most of the day. Knowing that he was with someone that treats my child like one of her own made going to work easy. Each time a new milestone came we worked as a team so that Jack never noticed the transition between home and Tanyas. Jack is now 4 and ready for reception, he is a social, independent little boy who has gained valuable experience from all the groups that Tanya took him to.
As a parent I worried about making the choice between giving up work or childcare, without Tanya I think I would have given up work. She is an amazing, patient, loving person who has given my children wonderful memories of the time they spent with her. Both my daughter and son have made wonderful friends who we will continue to meet up with in the holidays and weekends.
Words alone can't thank Tanya enough for the peace of mind she gave me each day I went to work.

Thank you vicky for such a lovely review, its been a pleasure for me caring for both chloe and jack too. They grew so fast, created many memories for me to and made many friends throughout there time here x

Excellent!!!

Both my children have attended Tanya's childcare which I can highly recommend. I have never worked set days or hours therefore it was important to me that I could be afforded flexibility which Tanya could offer. There is a variety of activities which range from the activities in the home environment, indoor and outdoor play which is great.
The communication is great as I always know what activities my son has done and also what food he has eaten, he is encouraged to try new foods as part of a well balanced diet.
As my son only goes in the school holidays as he now attends full time school we are always on a countdown until he next goes as he enjoys it so much.
It is always such a huge comfort knowing when I leave my son with Tanya he is happy and excited about his day ahead.
Tanya has a warm, friendly and welcoming home and I would highly recommend her.

Excellant Childminder

Tanya looked after my son from the age of 6 months to 4 years when he went to nursery but he still goes in school holidays. Tanya is an excellant childminder, she provides the children with fun activities that they enjoy but also helps them develop. The childen love going to Tanya's, she is friendly and excellant with children of all ages. When my son first went to Tanya's i found it very difficult leaving him but he settled in fantasticly due to Tanya. Tanya is constantly keeping parents up to date with what activities your child has been involved in and how they are developing. I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone, she is an excellant childminder and made it a lot easier for me to return to work. My son looks forward to school holidays now so he can go to Tanyas.
