Our little boy has just finished with Tamara after more than 4 years, ready to start reception. We’ve been delighted with the experiences and care he has had, especially the focus on being outdoors pretty much every day, doing lots of crafts, baking and play to develop everything from motor skills to maths and phonics. Tamara is brilliant at recording everything so we know what he’s up to every day and how he’s developing (and we have lots of lovely photos!) Food and nutrition is really important to me and I have been so pleased with the homemade meals and snacks our son was given - and zero complaints from him! Tamara has also been really helpful and supportive with things like toilet training and personal/social development. She is super reliable and organised, which was invaluable to me! She is also very kind, and made our little boy feel included in both the group of children at the setting and her own family. We will all miss her loads, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a great childminder!

Amazing, Caring, Entertaining, Part of the family!
My daughter has had the best 4 years being here with Tamara who she now considers part of our family! Tamara offers a wide range of social activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play & learning. She has a lot of time for all the children within her care and they all love her! For sure she has been the best choice we made for looking after our child.

Tamara has been a childminder to my children for over 5 years and she has been just amazing.
Tamara goes out with the children pretty much every day where they go to parks, forest and other lovely places with them including ongar air field and Westfield sand parks.
She would also spend time thinking up some amazing craft ideas for them that my kids both loved, this ranged from painting, cutting a sticked themed ideas. E.g animals based on books they are reading.
Tamara would also develop their cooking skills by making baked treats that the kids loved bringing home and eating.
Tamara also ensured she gave them a balanced healthy diet that they really enjoyed. The kids would always say how yummy the food was and ask me to make the same.
Tamara documents everything the children did including their Forrest school adventures. She would note down everything in their books so I could see what they did that day and what they ate. She would also create a folder full of photos of their adventures and progression stating the age in months of how they are progressing in early learning skills. This is a folder I will cherish as it has beautiful photos of the children.
Tamara has also been incredibly reliable, she never takes sick days and gives you plenty notice if she has booked any sort of holiday.
Tamara did lots of play learning as well and was amazing at giving advice on how to develop the children’s skills further if I was ever unsure on how to do this. She would have fun counting games with them and just really made learning fun for both of them.
If you are looking for a childminder I highly recommend Tamara, we are all really sad that the children will no longer be their but I know they will always remember her as the kind caring childminder that she is.
Thank you for everything Tamara you have been everything we could have hoped for.

When you are looking for someone to take care of your child,your pride and joy, your heart that is walking around outside of your body... you consider lots of things, location, cost how it works in your daily plan. We check the ratings and make sure they are credible and assured. Once we can see that it all works we go ahead and start that journey. Tamara is so much more than that.
Tamara is a person that I can wholeheartedly guarantee looks after your child as if she/he was her own.
Tamara takes your child and takes them on a journey of discovery..whilst you are at work chatting next the printer, your child is having fun on nature walks, baking,creating art, exercising amongst many other things. Children don't have idle minds when they are with Tamara!!
When I picked my daughter up from Tamara's the journey home would be filled with her excitedly telling me all the things she had experienced that day. And I mean EVERY day. Tamara's daily input into my daughter's childcare has been absolutely incredible and a wonderful experience for my daughter.
Thank you Tamara and family 💕 we miss you.

Both my children cared for by Tamara, We only left her care because we moved out of the area and we all miss her very much. Tamara provides a home from home for the children that lovely hot meals and varied activities, including the Forest School which is an added bonus.
I would highly recommend Tamara

Our youngest has been with Tamara for the last year and we could not wish for better care for her. Tamara has lots of lovely activities for the children in her care to do daily, whether that be feeding the ducks or having fun with arts and crafts or cooking; we feel that our daughter always has the best time. Tamara has been great with our daughters routine and she always cooks the best meals! You know your child is having the best time when they ask to go to ‘Tamara’s house’ over the weekend!
We can not recommend Tamara highly enough!

Tamara has been warm and welcoming since my son started going to her in January this year, he settled in so quickly due to his love of coming. They do so many creative activities and trips out, that I get daily photos of or keep sakes to take home to display at home. She cooks lovely healthy food which he enjoys. She is incredible professional with daily reports on what they’ve done, food they’ve eaten, times of naps etc, it gives you a clear insight of the day he’s had.
I can’t thank tamara enough for her amazing care, I feel completely happy and at ease leaving my son with her.

My little girl has been with Tamara for the last two years (since she was 8months old) and I feel so lucky that we found her. She is everything we were hoping to find in a childminder. Her home offers such a calm and welcoming environment, with happy family life at the heart of it. Tamara provides such a wealth of creative activities and outings, we’ve benefited from being able to pick her brains about the best places to visit in the local area too!
All the children seem to love spending time at Tamara’s house and it’s been so lovely to see friendships develop and flourish during my daughter’s time there. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tamara as the very best!

I keep telling people how lucky we are to have found Tam500 for school drop offs and after school. She is kind, creative, reliable and professional. We wanted a home from home type of childcare for our son and with TicketyBoo he gets just that. She organises inventive activities for after school, and has set up a really friendly environment for my son to relax and play. I cannot recommend her enough.

My son has been with Tamara since he was 10 months old and is now over 2. I hope to keep him with Tamara as long as possible as she is fantastic! Tamara is always coming up with new ideas and different activities to stimulate and develop him and they go out almost every day throughout the year exploring different parks / the local area which I think is invaluable! He eats varied and nutritious food and now he is older tells me how much he wants to go which means he enjoys going there as much as I like sending him! Due to his age she has also been very supportive through his various developmental stages. Very happy! I would definitely recommend Tamara to look after your child.
