Tor Parkinson's Reviews

Truly home from home care!

Tor has cared for our 2 year old boy for the past five months, two days a week. I could not recommend her highly enough. Tor has a lovely warm personality and a lovely way with children. My son could be unsure about leaving me, but Tor made it so much easier and always sent a 'settled ' picture of him shortly afterwards, with many subsequent pictures throughout the day which I loved receiving. Tor takes a great pride in including the children in the wider community if Arundel, of which she is a passionate member. They visit various parks, go walking, go to the museum and visit the ducks amongst other things. She also sets up lovely activities at home for them, and even plans play dates!
Tor has always shown close attention to our son's nuances, such as favourite foods, preferring certain items of clothes, loving water play etc. We have been so impressed at how well Tor's child lead approach has benefited our little boy. She truly has provided a home from home- a real gem, thanks so much Tor!

Thank you I will truely miss him but I hope to keep in touch

Childminding

Tor is amazing !
My son loves her, as they do a lot of activities and he doesn't even has time to get bored or to miss me too much! They spend time outdoors too, and I am glad they do, as my son loves walking and playgrounds. Arundel is a lovely town, and
they go to feed ducks, see the birds etc...Tor will always keep me updated with photos during the day, which is another great thing about her.
Thank you Tor for your services !

Great babysitting

Tor took care of our 4 year old while we were on holiday in Sussex. She arrived on time and immediately befriended the little one. They had a great day of walks, Uno, arts and crafts and we came home to a happy kid! Thanks Tor, would highly recommend!

Great Childminder

Tor has looked after our daughter for a few months now. She's very reliable and has been very accommodating of my partner's and my flexible work schedules. She's always looking for new ways to help my daughter learn and explore and is great at keeping us updated with lots of pictures of what our daughter gets up to throughout the day. In addition to all of this, Tor is very caring and has been so patient and kind with us and our daughter. I'd highly recommend Tor!

Amazing Childminder

Tor has been providing childcare for my son for the last few months and he has settled in right from the beginning. He always has a fun filled day with lots of activities/playgroups/outdoor play and Tor even manages to get him to eat his vegetables which is a miracle!!
I also love that Tor sends updates/photos throughout the day so we can see what fun they have been up to.

Lifesaver

We unexpectedly found ourselves without childcare cover and reached out to Tor . Thankfully she was really prompt to reply, answered any queries and even arranged an evening’ meet and greet ‘ for us to feel reassured that our daughter was going to cope in a new environment. There was no need for concern. With Tor’s help , our daughter settled incredibly well and had a fantastic time. She sent us updates throughout the day which was great to see all the activities she had managed to fit in. We have already booked a few more sessions going forward and more than happy to recommend Tor.

Outstanding

Tor has been providing childcare for our little girl from the time she was about 18 months to 3 years old. Our daughter adores Tor and we have come to depend on her. Tor is flexible, thoughtful, diligent and, most importantly, provides a fun, stimulating and safe environment for our daughter. I cannot recommend Tor highly enough.

Brilliant care

Tor has been wonderful with our one year old son and her home setting is lovely, especially with the little garden. She’s extremely kind, very perceptive of what makes him tick and always keeps him busy! She has offered us the flexibility we have needed and given us confidence in putting him into childcare for which I’m very grateful. I would have no hesitation in recommending!

Excellent experience.

Tor looked after my boys aged 5 and 7 for a day for us. They had a splendid time doing crafts, playing trains and taking an outing to the local park. They enjoyed the lunch she provided and have spoken about their time with her at length. My younger has made the flour glue Tor taught him, everyday since.

She was professional and inspired confidence right from initial contact . We are an expat family only back in London from time to time but I would not hesitate to use Tor again.
