A home away from home

Shasta has looked after my 3 boys for 8 years now. She has a dedicated childcare annexe attached to her home, which is spacious and well resourced (especially for little ones.) She has 3 boys and they all get on so well with mine. She is friendly, gentle and relaxed with the boys (even though they’re boisterous and loud at times) and they feel comfortable and secure there. They really enjoy the occasional trips to the zone or the park. Currently they are with her two days after school but two out of the three were with her for 3 full days a week until they began school. She follows the early years foundation stage curriculum and during these early years will provide activities to meet their needs and interests and will share their progress. Shasta is always flexible and takes the time to discuss how things have gone each day. She is able to provide individualised care as she really gets to know the children and our wishes as parents. My boys have always felt comfortable and cared for here- a home away from home.

Excellent child minder 5*

My son has been going to Tinkerbells for the last few years now & im very happy with the service Shaastha has provided.
My son has also stayed overnight several times & I have felt at complete ease leaving him in her care as i know he will be well looked after & that he most importantantly will be safe secure & happy in this setting.
As I'm a single parent shaastha has on many occasions gone above and beyond to help me when I've been stuck in traffic by having him longer.
I highly recommend Tinkerbells to every parent, Shaastha provides an excellent service & in a warm caring environment with a variety of toys and activities & a lovely large garden for children to play in.
Shaastha herself is a very warm kind and a playful woman which is very important to have these qualities when working with young children which gives them a sense of security.
My son is a fussy eater so shaastha is very accommodating to his diet making sure he has something to eat which he will enjoy & by making him something different to other children.
I'm happy I found shaastha and feel reasured with the care she provides my son. I highly recommend her definitely 5*.

Amazing childminder

professional childcare provided , my children have been attending for several years. My eldest 2 children grew up with good manners and very good education as Shasta helped them and pushed them to do well in the academic studies. My children settled straight away, it felt homely and the setting was child friendly. My child still attends and looks forward to attending as Tinkerbell provides stimulating activities , indoor and outdoor activities and adventures, nutritious food and love and care . I will fully recommend Tinkerbell childcare

Excellent Childcare

I went back to work after a 2 year break and left my one year old son here 5 days a week. My other 5 year old son was also here after school for an hour or so most days. I was worried about leaving my children with anyone other than family but after one day I knew my children were happy and safe in Shasta's more than capable hands.
The service Shasta's provided for my boys was well above average and the facilities and activities available in the setting were brilliant.
I cannot recommend this childminder enough to anyone looking for someone as she is also very flexible and very professional.
When I need childcare again in the future I hope she has spaces as I know both my boys will miss her.
