My 18month old son has been attending Little Pickles Tiney Home Nursery with Karis for a few weeks now and he has settled in so well. His confidence has flourished and has learnt even more words and gestures. Karis’ regular updates on the app are fantastic and he always looks so happy and doing something fun. We are very pleased to have chosen Little Pickles. Thank you so much

My child is now part of their family, i can see a flash smile when i m dropping him.

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 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!

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.

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!

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 – 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.

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! ✨

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.

I have just registered as a childminder with tiney and the whole experience has been so so good! The support from tiney is amazing, everyone is so helpful and the resources they have pre and post registration is phenomenal. Hopefully this all continues now I'm registered!

Great place to train as a childminder, lots of support and resources to learn from.

Fantastic training for the importance of observation and planning

Working with tiney is a great experience. Tiney is very supportive and encourages people. I would highly recommend tiney if someone wants to be a childminder.

Great place to work with. I joined tiney a year ago. Wasn’t sure if I will be good enough to became childminder but they assure me that I’m already doing a job as I’m mum myself. So happy I joined I learn a lot and became childminder today I work with 5 children and I’m so happy to see them coming to me with a big smile on them faces. Thank you tiney and looking forward for many years to come to work with you 😊

I worked in early years for around a year before I decided I would like to become a child minder. I wanted to make my own decisions. Those that were right for the children.

I'm not sure I would have had the confidence to do it without the support from Tiney.

Now, genuinely, I have the dream job. In less than a year I have built a business, taken on a full time assistant, and have a waiting list.

I'm proud of the care and learning I provide for the children. Tiney offer initial training, ongoing development and continual support in many areas,

In short, I love running a Tiney home nursery.

Not just a nursery but a home away from home 🥰
Teachers are lovely and homely so I highly recommend!!!

An excellent childminder with a homely atmosphere.
Lots of fun activities for the children. Highly recommend!

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.
