My Summary
Early Birds Tiney Home Nursery
About Me
Early Birds Tiney Home Nursery is a new childminding setting situated in Enfield Lock - known for its tranquil surroundings, with beautiful waterways, green spaces and many nearby parks.
At Early Birds Tiney Home Nursery, our priority is to provide a safe, inclusive and nurturing home from home environment - where little ones can thrive. We aim to cultivate each child's natural desire to learn through a child-centred, play-based learning approach and encourage children to follow their own interests and inclinations. Our curriculum is rooted in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and inspired by different educational theories like Montessori and Reggio Emilia. Whilst learning is child-led, our planning comes from observations of each child's emerging interests to ensure we are creating a stimulating and irresistible in-door and out-door learning environment for each child.
We are two sisters who run Early Birds, Beri & Zeb. We are qualified childminders with a wealth of experience and a shared passion for early years education and child development. We have trained and registered with an Ofsted-certified agency to ensure our premises are presented at an exceptionally high standard. As care givers, we understand how fundamental a building a nurturing relationship is for children to thrive - which is at the heart of everything we do. With low ratios, we are able to personalise every child's development plan and support their personal needs.
Key information:
- We use an app for parents as the main communication channel and invoices/payments. This app is where we hold every child's profile and personal information. We will upload daily observations, updates and key highlights for parents to view throughout the day
- We will hold a formal parents meeting every 6 months, however, termly progress checks and observations will be ongoing
- We provide healthy, home cooked meals and snacks with consideration to all dietary requirements or allergies. A weekly menu will be sent out to prospective parents
- We will hold extra-curricular activities every week IE baby yoga, child friendly workouts, cooking classes and local library/park visits
- We will hold end of term trips (this will need to be paid if entry is not free)
- Two year development reviews will be completed for 2y/o's in our setting
- We have undergone comprehensive early years foundation stage training, we are early years experienced, DBS checked and hold an up to date full paediatric first aid
- We have a loading bay across our house for convenient drop off's and pick up's

Reviews

We had the privilege of getting to know Beri whilst our daughter was in nursery at a previous setting. She made those first few anxious months after you enter your child into an external setting so wonderfully smooth. My daughter absolutely loved Beri and the care provided by Beri was second to none. Kind and endlessly patient, yet firm and capable of digesting and executing the stringent British EYFS standards. When Beri is caring for your child, you honestly feel like you are leaving them with family. We were absolutely heartbroken when she was asked to move to a different location. The people absolutely make the nursery and this couldn’t be more true of Beri. I highly recommend her as a childcare provider.

Beri was a nursery teacher and a babysitter afterwards for our son for a few years. She started looking after Gregory when he turned 1 year old. She was very dependable, nurturing and tender but also firm when needed. We never worried about our son's safety when he was with her. It was pleasure to have her at our home as she was very neat and organised. It has been 4 year since she last babysit Gregory but he still remembers her with lots of fondness. Our family is very happy that she has set up her own nursery!

My little one is loving his placement so far, and has already improved both his communication and speaking skills (which we were struggling with prior to him starting at EarlyBirds). Thank you EarlyBirds team for taking such good care of him!

Thank you for your review Gulistan! It is an absolute pleasure having R on board! Glad we’re able to be a part of his development journey :)
Beri looked after our little one in a nursery setting. Our daughter loved Beri, she flourished and developed so beautifully while Beri was her key worker. We appreciated that Beri took time to listen and communicated to us as parents. She is warm and loving but still very professional.

We have been knowing Beri since before the pandemic, as she was the nursery teacher of our first child. Our daughter loved spending time with her and we have continued our relationship after nursery, as she is such a loving and trustworthy person who genuinely loves working with children. Highly recommended!
