Such an easy app to use, being kept up to date on my daughter’s day makes me fell at ease. I can easily find any information I need or to message my childminder in a matter of minutes.

We are extremely happy with the care our baby receives from Tiney and specially Vani.She is kind, patient, and very attentive to our baby’s needs. From feeding and hygiene to playtime and comfort, she handles everything with great care and love. Our baby feels safe and happy around her, which gives us a lot of peace of mind as parents. Her dedication, cleanliness, and gentle nature truly make a difference. We are very grateful to have such a trustworthy and caring person looking after our boy (Reyaansh).

My childminder contacted tiney and convinced them to waiver the fee - dates are difficult to get on the app , first invoice was qrong but they repsond quickly to the. Hildminder so i think is a good service for the childminder side

Update to my review:
Two-critical questions remain unanswered.
1. Why was my son kept on the provider's register for weeks after the childcare arrangements had ended and after a safeguarding complaint had been filled? 2. Why was Early Years Funding claimed for weeks after arrangements had formally ended.
While I appreciate that an unannounced visit took place, the investigation response still did not address the detailed examples I provided. A single one-hour visit cannot realistically validate or invalidate weeks of documented concerns.
I hope Tiney will reflect on this feedback and consider strengthening both their safeguarding and transparency for parents. However, based on my experience, tiney is not an organisation I trust, and I would never place my child again with any of their providers.
My child attended a Tiney-registered setting, and we experienced a series of serious concerns relating to care, hygiene, communication, and emotional wellbeing. When I raised these concerns formally with Tiney, the investigation was extremely superficial. Despite detailed evidence and a very long list of issues, their “assessment” consisted of a single visit and a short conversation with the childminder - after which everything was declared “unsubstantiated”.
As a parent, this leaves me with absolutely no confidence that safeguarding issues are being taken seriously or investigated with the depth they require. It gave the strong impression that the priority was protecting the provider rather than protecting children.
Tiney refunded the fees I had paid, which quietly acknowledged the seriousness of the situation, but their written conclusion completely downplayed the concerns. The inconsistency between these two actions is deeply troubling.
Another major issue is the lack of proper oversight of provider records. Even after childcare arrangements ended, my child continued to be marked as “absent” on the childminder’s register. This raises obvious questions about record-keeping and potential misuse of funded hours.
In my experience, Tiney’s complaints process is not fit for purpose. It is bureaucratic, dismissive, and leaves parents with no meaningful support when concerns involve a provider registered under agency. Parents considering Tiney should be aware that if they ever need real safeguarding support or a thorough investigation, they may not receive it.
I would urge all parents to do extremely careful due diligence before trusting their childcare arrangements to Tiney. I expected a professional, child-focused agency; what I experienced felt more like a provider-protection service that a safeguarding body.

Do not trust! Tiney put my child in danger.
If I could give Tiney minus stars I would. The most awful experience, I will never ever use a Tiney childminder or any other childminder for matter.
They put my child on danger, by not ensuring the childminder was properly checked. There was a non DBS checked male that had access to the children, and there were other incidents that they failed to disclose.
Our childminder was suddenly suspended because our 'children were at risk and had to be collected immediately. They offered help with finding alternatives childcare, but when I asked for help, they ignored the request! And left us indefinitely with no childcare.
They took 2 months to undergo an investigation before filing a report.
This is a makeshift organisation that doesn't control the quality of care provided. Our child is now at a professional nursery and the difference in care and development is immeasurable.
Stay away from Tiney and Tiney childminders. Unfortunately, the childminder [Petite Nursery] has since got to set.themselves up independently, they should be struck off.

My grandchild's child minder parveen arif is An absolute blessing! My grandson settled in so well and was comfortable it made me feel at ease especially when he had a smile on his little face when I said “say bye ms parveen and will see you again tomorrow “

I couldn’t recommend my childminder Kids Island tiney home enough! My child absolutely loves spending time there. The ladies are incredibly caring, creative and always come up with new, engaging activities every day. The children are wonderfully looked after and get to experience so many fun and educational things in such a warm, friendly environment.
Everything is always spotless and perfectly adapted to the children’s needs. Thanks to them, it’s much easier for me to handle the moments of separation, knowing that my child is safe, happy and truly enjoying their time.
I also really appreciate the Tiney app- it keeps me updated with everything that’s happening throughout the day, so I always have all the information I need and feel connected to my child’s day.
I’m so grateful for the amazing care they provide- choosing this childminder was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my child.
