My Summary
About Me
** spaces available**
Hello my name is Tiffany and I am an experienced childminder who has catered for all age groups, on many occasions I have supported children from babies (as young as 3 months) up to school age and beyond. I relish the relationships I have build with families of children that I have had the chance to develop through early years and prepare them from school. My setting is a mixture of learning and fun.
I love caring for children and watching them develop and grow. With my home from home setting and a friendly and welcome environment for the children.
I am very active every week by attending play groups, libraries, soft play and parks etc throughout the week. In half terms we often visit local farms and have fun days out including teddy bears picnic.

We have had both our daughters looked after by Tiffany over the course of a few years. They both quickly built a bond with her and still often talk about her now, even though they have moved onto preschool and infant school. Tiffany was always kind, caring and encouraging. She is calm, reliable, flexible and has such a ‘can-do’ approach. Both of our girls benefitted from her ‘home from home’ setting.

Tiffany has looked after my little boy for the last 18 months & he has absolutely loved it. She offers a great home from home environment and made him (& me) feel super relaxed from the start! She has always been super accommodating and I am so glad we found her, I won't be hesitating to use Tiffany again in the future. Being my first child, she made the whole process pain-free and looked after my boy in the loving way I would if I wasn't at work. Cannot recommend enough!

My 19 month dd has been going to Tiffany just over 2 months. We couldn't be more pleased we found Tiffany, my dd made himself at home in her house on our visit and has enjoyed it ever since. He loves all the trips out and now always has a smile for Tiffany when I drop him off. We had tried him in a nursery which didn't work out so we're so pleased to find he's settled so quickly and that she came to our need at short notice.

Tiffany gives my boys the Mummy love & nurturing that I would give them if I wasn't working. And that for me is the best thing I can ask for. Everything from cuddles to educational and fun activities to also keeping them in line when they misbehave. And of course feeding them which is constant!
She helps them develop, knows their personalities, strengths and anxieties and helps them flourish. I honestly don't know how she has the time and energy to come up with so many fun things for the children to do and the outings - they often have more interest in their Tiffany days than on their days at home!
From the first time I met Tiffany she bonded with my eldest son and I. Since then she has looked after him for 3.5 years for 3/4 days a week. He has only recently graduated from her care because he is now going to school & after school activities. My youngest son is 2 so will spend another 2 years in her care before heading off to school.
Tiffany is a fantastic childminder and comes with a glowing reference from us.

Our son has been accepted to an in-term transfer to a new school and we were in a panic mode looking for a childminder nearby.
Luckily Tiffany came to our rescue via childcar.co.uk.
Our son has no problem settling in with her at all and all was proper and good with Tiffany.
Highly recommended and although due to circumstances we have started to send and pick up our son from school now, we will not have any hesitation to return back to Tiffany when we need a childminder in the future.

My 2 year old son has been going to Tiffany one day a week for 6 months. This is the first time I’ve left him with anyone other than family and was understandably nervous but even after an initial meeting with Tiffany I could see my son would be in safe hands. He is quite shy but has really come out of his shell with Tiffany and is always excited and happy to go and play with her 2 boys. He attends playgroup and soft play with Tiffany which is something I couldn’t do with him having just had another baby.
We have to reluctantly stop using Tiffany as my maternity leave has ended and I’m now on unpaid leave so really can’t afford childcare but providing she has space I would have no hesitation in using Tiffany again when I’m back at work and in the future for my daughter as well as my son.

Tiffany has been excellent since looking after my two children for drop off to school. The kids loved going there and will really miss her. The only reason we would not continue to use Tiffany is she can no longer do a drop off to southborough. Would recommend Tiffany to anyone looking for a childminder with children at Crofton.

Our 2 year old daughter has been going to Tiffany for a year now. Tiffany has been great with her. She is very warm and my daughter is looked after like a part of the family. My daughter loves going there and spending time with Tiffany and her boys. Tiffany takes her to the library for the sing-alongs, to the Little Lambs playgroup in the pre-school and also to the soft play area in Oakley café and Orpington Walnuts and various other activities like the Park etc.
We also use Tiffany's help during my older daughters school holidays and she also loves going there and is always kept occupied.
Tiffany also helps us with Occasional Babysitting at our house, when we want to step out during the night.
I would highly recommend her. It is a very warm, secure and fun environment and you can be assured that your kids will be taken care off well. She is also very flexible and great boon to working parents.
