We used our childminder from tiney for our autistic 4 year old. He was incredibly well looked after and loved every minute of it which is rare for him to find somewhere he enjoys so much and our child... Ver más

Excellent Support & Guidance from Tiney…

Excellent Support & Guidance from Tiney – Highly Recommended!

At first, I was hesitant to join Tiney because I had never heard of them before. Starting a childminding business felt overwhelming—I didn’t know where to begin, what the process involved, or how to navigate all the responsibilities that come with working with children. Doing it alone seemed scary, but joining Tiney turned out to be the best decision.

From the start, my advisor, Chloe, has been absolutely amazing. She has been incredibly supportive and always there whenever I needed help. The training process was smooth, and the guidance I received made everything much clearer. I initially thought I wasn’t ready, but Chloe believed in me and gave me the push I needed to register sooner than I expected—which was exactly what I needed.

Tiney provides great reassurance and peace of mind, especially for those who are new to childminding and unsure of where to start. They ensure you have all the policies, training, and support necessary to set up and run your business confidently. Even the inspection process was well-organised, and the theory call was handled professionally, which made the experience much less stressful.

Overall, I’ve had a fantastic experience with Tiney. The team is professional, supportive, and excellent at communicating every step of the process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to start a childminding business but feeling unsure of the journey ahead.

Thank you so much, F. Hadi, for your wonderful feedback! 😊 We're so happy to hear that Chloe and the team made your childminding journey smoother and helped you feel more confident. Starting something new can be daunting, but it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come! 🎉

We’re proud to have supported you, and we’re always here if you need anything. Wishing you all the best in your childminding journey, and again, thank you for recommending tiney! 🌟💛

Waste of Time and Energy

Paid £300 registration fee
Paid £75 for GP Consultation call that was only 3 minutes long, and the person was on a bus or something. Was expecting alot more for a £75 consultation, that was a 3 minute video call.
Paid £80 for the First Aid training.
Keep in mind they also take 12% of your earnings.
The discover page was rather useless as nobody responded to my posts.

It's a very expensive process. Unfortunately, I didn't pass my registration visit and was told on the day that Tiney may look at the results and may reschedule or reconsider. However, this wasn't true as I've lost access to my account.

I paid quite a hefty sum for this "training" and could've had a cheaper experience If i had listened to the reviews here and gone with Ofsted or with the council instead.

If you are planning to register with Tiney, reconsider your financial requirements and go with another angency or your council or ofsted themselves. It's not worth the amount of money you will pay to be dropped off at a hat.

Hey Emmanuella, Emily here, I head up the Customer Onboarding team here at tiney. I am really sorry to hear your application was unsuccessful with us and you were disappointed by this outcome. The £300 joining fee covers the support from your advisor, your theory call, your home check call, the childminder training and your registration visit. A GP Health declaration and a paediatric first aid course are both requirements for registration as a childminder and is something you would also require if you were to register with Ofsted. The GP consultation with the external company we use is an option for all our trainees if they are having issues with getting their declaration from their doctor and they require the form to be returned quicker, the length of this call depends on what is needed to be discussed on the call.

Regarding your registration visit, each application is carefully reviewed by our panel and considers each individual situation and unfortunately where Safeguarding or Quality concerns arise that do not meet our required standards, we must take regulatory action. Sadly, this can sometimes mean withdrawing an application at this stage, we do not take these decisions lightly. Safeguarding and quality are our highest priorities, and we have a set standard that we must uphold.

I know this isn't the outcome you were hoping for, and we appreciate the time and effort you put into the process. We wish you all the best with your next steps.

✨ A Huge Thank You to Tiney

✨ A Huge Thank You to Tiney! ✨

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible journey I've had with Tiney. From the very start, the process has been smooth, well-structured, and, most importantly, filled with amazing support at every step.

The team has been nothing short of fantastic, always available to answer questions, guide me through each stage, and provide reassurance when needed. They truly care about the success of their childminders, and that personal touch has made such a difference.

Becoming a registered childminder felt like a huge milestone, and I couldn't have done it without the dedication and encouragement of the Tiney team. Their training, resources, and ongoing support have been invaluable, making what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable!

If you're considering becoming a childminder, I wholeheartedly recommend Tiney. They don’t just help you register—they empower you to build a nurturing, successful childcare business with confidence. ❤️

Thank you, Tiney, for everything!

The childminder we found worked through an agency - tiney so we didn’t really have a choice but to use this agency.
So far happy with the service- disappointed that the customer service appears to have been outsourced to the Philippines as getting a response from the customer service team took about 3 working days for a reply and considering this is care for my child it’s actually quite shocking.

Hi I don't understand the game tiney is playing here!You guys asked me all the necessary questions you need, and told me I succeeded with the safe guarding checks only to get up today after all the heavy money paid to you and after few training modules you just locked off.Is this how you encourage people to become what they want?I am very disappointed with this company to be honest.

Hi Etchu. We are really sorry to hear your application was unsuccessful with us and that you were disappointed by this outcome. We do give anyone who would like to join tiney the opportunity to declare any information that could affect their suitability to become a childminder, before they join us, through our very detailed questionnaire. If information isn't declared or is not declared in its entirety before joining; if it subsequently appears on any of the background checks we run, and is not in line with our Safeguarding policy, then unfortunately we will have to withdraw applicants from the process. Our Safeguarding policy is in place and safeguarding is our number one priority at tiney. On this occasion Etchu, as a gesture of goodwill, we have refunded your joining fee. We wish you all the best and if you have any further questions please get in touch with us directly. Take care!

tiney support and book club

I've been a tiney childminder since 2020 and I always say I never would have had the courage to become a childminder without tiney. Every person I've ever met from tiney has such a passion for the early years. I'd be lost without the support, amazing CPD offered and the community. I also want to mention book club because it's one of the best perks. The sessions are so well planned and always engaging, even for my group of very little ones. The tiney tips for activity ideas along it are really helpful and save me all the time if I'm feeling I need a boost of inspiration.

I was absolutely going well with the training all excited and something came up where they felt they needed to investigate. They gave me one email and deactivated my account. I felt numb and very upset because I had spent alot of money in the process of becoming a childminder with tiney. Fees like; doctors summary, first aid training etc. All waste of money and there fees on everything are too high and when asking for a refund, it's non refundable. The staff did not help with this issue, just kept fobbing me off to ring elsewhere and has put me off the whole process.

I am sorry that your application to register as a childminder with tiney was not successful. The background checks we undertake are a legal requirement. It is really important to let the team know of any issues that may come up on checks before you start the process of registering so we can discuss these with you before you begin and make you aware of any that may mean you will not be able to proceed.
