"Excellent Support and Smooth Registration Process"

I had a great experience registering with Tiney as a childminder. The process was well-structured, and the team provided excellent support at every stage. From the initial application to the theory call and final setup, I felt guided and well-informed.

The resources and training materials were thorough and easy to follow, making the transition into childminding smooth. The team was always responsive and ready to help with any questions I had along the way.

Overall, I’m very happy with Tiney and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to start their childminding journey!

"My experience so far I honestly cannot…"

My experience so far I honestly cannot fault. I've literally just qualified so can't say about the aftermath but all the training they made easily accessible on an app and you have online webinars to join In and someone on hand to answer any questions. Now I'm going through the setup to open my business... All the information is there from tax returns to signing up with HMRC aswell as extra training for your journey. I haven't fell upon a negative so far. They all seem friendly and willing to help!

"Early Years superheroes"

The team at tiney are passionate about all areas of Early Years education, and I really rate them for it. I'm always glad of their support and commitment, and really value their brilliant CPD programme. Just attended a webinar called 'Reading to Build Connection' and their passion for stories and reading was so evident.

"I have just passed my registration…"

I have just passed my registration visit with tiney, they have been amazing! very supportive and encouraging all the way through. As a childminder who was previously registered with Ofsted I would hands down reccomend tiney out of the two. I was a bit of an unsual case for tiney but they have tailored the process for me and we have worked together. Highly reccomend.

"Tiney is a great company that supports…"

Tiney is a great company that supports their childminders in every way they can. I haven’t had a regret ever since I joined them.

"Very helpful agency!"

I've just completed my registration with tiney, and they have been incredibly helpful throughout the process! They helped me so much with stepping into the world of childminding. Appreciate it!

"Wonderful Experience"

My registration visit was such a pleasant experience. I was made to feel so at ease and supported. The tiney team are a wonderful group who are truly there to support, guide and assist in anyway possible.

"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.

"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.

"✨ 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!
