My youngest had been with Tina for approximately 2 years and has enjoyed every moment. Tina provides a lovely ‘home from home’ environment and has always been a great support when we have tried various routines. Nothing has ever been trouble and the flexibility of changing days/extending days, when required for work, has helped massively. She is loving and professional, with the child at the centre. We are very sorry to be leaving and will really miss her. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
