Unfortunately we didn't have a very good experience with Kirsty @ Tiny Toes.
Our DS simply didn't bond and would become quite distressed even after 20 weeks. The space is a single room, times and routine seem to be based around their own children, messages / updates are rare, and outside activities were uncommon. The occasional photo never showed anything but our son in the same room.
Our son was ill for a few months and became quite clingy, Tinytoes diagnosed him with Anxiety and asked to reduce his care as was struggling to look after him. We'd regularly get phone calls asking to pick up, and on the last occasion we took our son to the doctors and got told he was perfectly well and high temperature was down to teething. We got told that they wouldn't take our son back regardless of the GP, and upon challenging the illness policy quite calmly over the phone, our contract was terminated with 24 hours notice (For not 'respecting' illness policy)
I would recommend the childminder if children are older, require less supervision and don't have any special requirements / SEND.
