What our alumni are saying
See why tiney's the perfect fit
"I didn’t start this with a business mindset. They take care of the hard stuff, which is great for someone who's never been self-employed before."
Alicia
tiney childminder
"In my previous childcare roles, I didn’t enjoy not being able to give children 1-on-1 attention. Working in a childminding setting means I can give them all the attention they need."
Nikki
