Tarnya is a fantastic childminder. She bonded with my little one and earned his trust immediately. She is warm and fun and also very perceptive - she can read what kids are communicating with their behaviour and body language quickly - which makes her able to respond very well to their emotional needs. She is curious about the children in her care and will discuss behaviour or non-verbal communication that she isn't sure about to get a deeper understanding of them. She practises positive parenting. Since my son has been with her, he has grown in confidence, is full of joy and is learning so many new things. He is so excited about going to play at her house and as a result I am completely relaxed leaving him there and can focus on work.

Tarnya's house is clean and welcoming with lots of interesting toys. She cares for her daughter as well and her little girl is enthusiastic, loving and kind. Tarnya provides structured activities when at home e.g. sensory play, PlayDough, baking. She lives extremely close to a great children's centre and library as well as several secure playgrounds. She takes the kids on outings to nearby parks, soft play, libraries and the Horniman museum. She provides healthy and filling meals every day which sound delicious and are 'yummy!' according to my son. She sends photos and a full update every day via Whatsapp.
