ZT is amazing with my little girl

ZT is amazing with my little girl. I truly feel safe leaving her knowing she’s in great hands. My little girl loves going and it truly does feel like a home away from home for her. They go on amazing trips and ZT always makes sure to mark any special occasions such as birthdays, mothers/fathers day.

Milika and her team are just exceptional. They provide such a safe and stimulating environment for the kids, helping them develop and reach their milestones while having fun. The app is also very user friendly and the advice received in relation to funding etc. has always been accurate and fast.

Thank You Moara & tiney Childminding!

I honestly don’t know what we would do without our tiney Childminder Moara.
I was at a complete loss about what to do when I couldn’t secure a Nursery place by the end of my Maternity leave.
2 years later - my son adores Moara and her family, and her assistant, Bobbie. They have become firm friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Moara and her team to anyone and should we be lucky enough to have another child, they too will go to Moara ❤️
Thank you to tiney for educating me on my Childminding options. I’m so glad we ended up with a Childminder, as opposed to a Nursery setting now!

⭐️Fantastic Childminder!! ⭐️

Jo at Tiney Bears Tiney Home is the most fantastic childminder!

Every day she goes above and beyond to create the most enriching experience for the children.

Her home setting has an abundance of learning and play materials and she creates a new themed experience every day!

Jo also takes the children out of her home setting for trips to local parks, farms, soft play, sensory rooms etc.

My daughter absolutely loves Jo and her dog Denzel too!!

Vera is an amazing childminder

Vera is an amazing childminder!
As a social worker by profession I struggled to find a setting I felt comfortable leaving my 8month old son. We saw many.
As soon as I visited Vera’s setting, I asked for a place immediately! I have had no concerns for my child for the past year he has attended the setting. I really couldn’t be happier.

Team Rosiah (Tiney)

Our daughter has been under the care of Ms Peace and her lovely team for more than a year.
We trust them immensely with the safety and welfare of our precious princess.
They have gone above and beyond many times for us, especially when we needed more support when we were starting out, as new parents sending a baby to a childminder.
They have remained professional in all aspects and manages to update us through the app during the day.
Our kid loves spending time with them and has picked up some good habits too.
They truly assisted us with our parenting, validating our concerns when there are any and offering support in any way they can. They treat us as family, as we do with them.
They really try and make sure there are no screens all day, and spend time outdoors if they can. You can just tell they do it with love.
Also excited with their expansion and offering of spanish language classes to the little ones.

Amina is absolutely amazing

Amina is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend her. She has made it so easy for my son to settle In. She does really good things with him, like different parks, children’s centre and loads of fun activities at home too.
His development has come on so far since he has started, especially his speech.
Tiney is so straight forward to use, everything from communication to payments.
I am so happy I chose Amina and wish my son could stay with her forever !

A Wonderful Way to Stay Connected with My Daughter’s Day

I have had a very positive experience with Tiney. My daughter attends a childminder who uses the app to share photos, activities, meals, and daily updates throughout the day. As a parent, it is lovely to see what she has been doing, especially as she has additional needs and cannot always tell me about her day herself.

The app is easy to use, and I enjoy receiving regular updates and pictures of my daughter taking part in different activities. It gives me reassurance that she is happy, engaged, and well cared for. The daily reports are clear, informative, and help me feel connected to her experiences even when I am at work.

I would highly recommend Tiney to parents and childminders looking for an easy and reliable way to share children's daily activities and progress.

I have worked with tiney since 2023

I have worked with tiney since 2023. Tiney gave me the confidence and opportunity to earn a salary while also caring for my own daughter at home. After years of teaching and no options for secure part-time work adjustments after having my own child, I was forced to face placing my child in full time care from 7.30-5 and making no income due to the expense. Setting up my home nursery was the best decision, and tiney have been a huge support with the business side of what was a daunting idea initially. I highly rate the community around tiney and would recommend them to any teachers looking for more work flexibility. I also highly rate the training for those whom teaching is not a previous experience.

I do appreciate Tiney greatly

I do appreciate Tiney greatly, in terms of giving the right support to the childminders under them, taking of some stress by doing some of the behind office job, of course errors do happens sometimes but not always, we all make mistakes, moreso the team have got alots to do from the calculation, to giving support to some individual, so definitely expect some mistakes but not what can't be corrected immediately.
Tiney makes your journey to childminding easy and worthwhile 👍. I am happy to be part of Tiney

My childminder wrap around service is amazing, I would strongly recommend Marie Hamilton’s nursery. I use the service to support the wrap around after school care for my child. After a busy day at school, The 1.2 ratio family engagement he receives perfectly supports needs.
