Tamlyn has been looking after my two boys for several years. Tamlyn is a very kind and caring childminder who is very considerate to both of my boys needs. Tamlyn has formed a fantastic relationship with my sons which is a pleasure to witness. My eldest son is always very excited for me to drop him off and always blows me a kiss goodbye and quickly shuts the door to go in and play!
Tamlyn always has many different activities for the boys - from crafts to playing in her secure garden. A lot of the activities are learning based and the boys are very eager and excited to join in with. I really enjoy receiving my daily diary from Tamlyn, complete with details of their days accompanied with pictures. Whenever I have been concerned about my boys Tamlyn has sent me a picture of them playing happily to reassure me.
Tamlyn provides a nice warm home cooked lunch and dinner for my boys which they enjoy. Tamlyn also assists with dropping the boys home at the end of the day. Tamlyn is very approachable and very flexible. She is happy to share a problem and try to find a solution that suits everyone. She has catered for me on an ad hoc basis and on a routined basis and sometimes at very short notice. I would definitely recommend Tamlyn as a childminder who is exceptional in looking after both of my boys and is very accommodating to my needs.

Tamlyn has been looking after my twins daughters for 7 years. Initially she had them 3 days per week full time and moved to before and after school (as well as school holidays) when they were 4. She takes them to the park, library, long walks in the local area, soft play, swimming, farm.... the list is endless, they are always busy! The environment is really homely with a great selection of toys and an enclosed garden. She feeds them homemade food and snacks whilst readily providing information about what they have eaten and if they have eaten well. When they were babies/toddlers she also provided an information book in which she detailed food eaten, naps, nappy changes etc which was extremely useful. She has been so flexible with fitting around my commute to London and my husband's ever changing shift pattern, sometimes having the girls at a moments notice - it is never too much trouble. I couldn't ask for more from a childminder she is supportive, concerned and above all the girls are extremely happy with her. Oh and she is rated at Outstanding by OFSTED to boot. You wouldn't regret employing Tamlyn, I feel very lucky to have found her, in fact i couldn't do without her. Any questions please do not hesitate in contacting me, I am happy to help.
