My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Tammy and I am an Ofsted registered childminder. I live in Guildford with my husband and my 8 year old daughter and 5 year old little boy.
We are a social, active family and are looking forward to welcoming your child into our home – especially my daughter, who loves having other children around the house to play with.
Our home is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac with plenty of off-road parking and the beautiful Surrey downs just on our doorstep. Starfish Nursery, Boxgrove School, St. Thomas School and St. Peters School are all within walking distance.
I offer home-from-home care with lots of fun and laughter, driven by learning through play. I will provide all children with a warm and friendly environment, with lots of educational toys available at all times, while encouraging social skills by taking them to play groups.
I will create an open & honest relationship with parents where they can talk to me about anything regarding the care of their child and children in my care will be involved in a variety of stimulating, fun activities, both indoors and outdoors.
I know it’s difficult to trust another person to look after your precious little girl/boy and that’s why I understand even more how important it is to provide a loving and stable environment for any children I look after. I like to think of myself as a bubbly, confident, energetic person that one can fully trust, who provides a reliable service which parents can depend on.
We will enjoy walks in the surrey downs, allowing children to get as much fresh air as possible, while exploring the world around them. We have a lovely sized, secure garden full of equipment for children to play in, with sand and water activities, including a slide, swing and lots of room for ball activities and cavorting on ride-ons on the patio. A highlight is the potting station where children get to plant their own vegetables, fruit and herbs, to teach them where our fruit & veg comes from.
For indoor activities, I have educational toys available to suit all age ranges and we keep busy doing lots of crafts, dressing up, role play, messy play, story time, reading, baking, playing music, dancing and singing. I comply with the Early Year’s Foundation framework, so we have fun with different themes and topics each week while always targeting activities towards growth and development and balancing these with free playtime.
As well as interesting and varied activities, your child will also have a dedicated quiet place to rest or sleep.
Please feel free to message me for further information.

We cannot recommend Tammy enough!
She is so lovely and caring and has created a wonderful home from home environment. Our little girl warmed to her straight away and settled in very quickly. She has taken the time to really get to know our daughter and treats her like one of her own. Tammy genuinely cares about her development and celebrates her progress and achievements with us.
She has a lovely big garden and does lots of fun and educational activities, we love seeing all the photos! We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you Tammy!

My little girl (just 12 months old) has only been with Tammy a few weeks. The settling in process was handled with every focus on my daughters needs and pretty much straight away everyone felt comfortable and content.
Regular detailed updates throughout the day means you never feel far away. Tammy has some great ideas for fun and messy sensory activities and lots of interaction with the older children has encouraged and given my little one a chance to develop and grow.
I know from her smiles when I collect her at the end of the day that she has just had the best day! Thank you so much Tammy x

Our 18month old daughter is currently woth Tammy for 3days a week. She absolutely loves it and was very comfortable with Tammy from the first day. She settled in so quickly!
Tammy is so caring and wonderful! We especially love the things the kids learn with her and the different themes and topics they have each month. She keeps us informed during the day how our LO is doing via an app which is veru convenient and detailed.
We highly recommend Tammy to anyone who is looking for childcare in the Guildford area!

Our son has been going to Tammy’s for the past 12 months and he absolutely loves his time there.
Tammy has a lovely home with a big garden, our son loves being outside so it’s perfect for him.
She keeps the kids very busy with lots of activities and outings to the parks.
Tammy provides wholesome meals, we get regular updates via the app and she treats our son as one of her own.
We feel very lucky we found her.

Tammy looked after my youngest 3 days a week and it was the perfect setting for him - homely, lots of activities and other children. She also picked up my eldest from reception twice a week and he loved playing with her children who were a bit older. Would recommend

I can’t speak highly enough of Tammy and the wonderful home from home she’s created.
Tammy has a beautiful home with a big garden, and provides a gentle and nurturing setting for our daughter. Tammy really treats our daughter like one of her own and has such a caring and kind nature, which has been so reassuring - especially at the beginning when I wasn’t used to leaving my little girl.
We get regular updates from Tammy with what they’ve been up to, as well as more detailed updates about how our daughter is doing with regards developmental milestones. The most important thing though is that my daughter leaves happy every day and loves telling me all about her day.

My children both loved going to Tammy’s. I think they both benefited from being looked after in a family home where they felt comfortable. Tammy’s children are lovely and both my children loved playing with them. Tammy has a beautiful house and her garden has everything a child could want swings, slides, the lot. My daughter particularly enjoyed all the outdoor activities and crafts. My son has allergies and Tammy was very accommodating.

Tammy looked after my little girl for over 2 years, as a first time mum I had the awful dread of going back to work and leaving my little one. Tammy made it so easy for me, with lots of updates throughout the day, pics and videos which all helps to know she's happy and fine. She took care of my daughter like she would her own kids, which gave me complete peace of mind.
Tammy and her family are very outdoorsy and every opportunity she'd have the little ones outdoors which was great. Her garden is packed with toys, ride ons, swing, jungle gym, pool etc
My little girl had so much fun there, she never wanted to leave
Would definitely recommend Tammy

Tammy looked after my daughter for a year from the age of 2 and I couldn't have hoped for a better experience. She provided a warm and nurturing home from home environment, with plenty of fun activities and time spent out doors. I would pick up my daughter at the end of the day and find her happy, well fed and playing with the other children. She loved her time there and I would happily use Tammy again.
