I am qualified with a BTEC National Diploma in Nursery Nursing 1993-1995 and have trained as a Midwife at the University of Hertfordshire in 1997-1999.
I started out my career at Tinies as a Childcare Consultant back in January 2000, and have been responsible for launching and establishing franchises in the Home Counties. I have a staff team of 11 to help support and manage our daily operation.
I now own and run 5 Tinies Franchises acquiring my first franchise in May 2004 with Tinies Hertfordshire. I went on to buy Tinies Buckinghamshire in June 2006 and then in May 2008 I bought Tinies Berkshire Nurseries. In May 2009 I took over Hampshire & West Surrey leaving my most recent acquisition for 2010 to be Tinies Dorset, making me the single largest Tinies franchisee in Tinies history.
We believe Tinies' Vision is to provide the very best nannies and childcarers to our clients, and to be trusted to deliver on that promise. In addition, we must influence and shape the future of the childcare industry.
Internally as a company we are committed to being the preferred supplier for our clients, outshining our competitors, and growing our business year on year.
We deliver a professional, personal and proactive service to find the right childcare solution for our clients. Safety is paramount, and therefore we guarantee all Tinies childcarers undergo vigorous interviewing and screening.
Caroline Watson, Managing Consultant
After 7 successful years experience working within the recruitment industry, I joined Tinies Childcare in May 2009 as a Consultant to run the Hampshire & West Surrey branch which has grown from strength to strength in just over 1 year.
In August 2010, under the new ownership of Claire Adams, I will also be Managing the Dorset branch of Tinies. As a company we are committed to being the preferred supplier for all of our childcare clients, and I will continue to provide a professional and personal service for this new expansion covering the South of England. In addition to my industry experience, I am also a Mum to my 2year old Son, Dan.
As a working mum I know how important professional childcare is and from listening to your requirements at registration, I will strive to provide an excellent service and to assist all clients every step of the way during your search for quality childcare.
Helen Jones, Creche Operations Manager
I joined Tinies Childcare in 2008. I am qualified with the NNEB and have worked in various childcare settings both in the UK and overseas. Working for Thomson, one of the largest Tour Operators, gave me the opportunity to develop the children's clubs in both Greece and Tunisia.
I have since worked in the Aviation industry for 8 years, managing and developing teams all over the world from as far afield as Lapland, Jamaica, The Far East and many destinations in America, in handling our aircraft, customer service, organisational skills and providing a seamless journey for all passengers. The many experiences and situations I have encountered, have put me in good stead for my present role here at Tinies.
I am responsible for managing the daily operations of Tinies Mobile Creches and Children's Clubs in Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire/Berkshire/Essex/Hampshire & West Surrey. Liaising with hoteliers, wedding planners, event coordinators, county councils, children's centres and future clients is a huge part of my role. I ensure that we provide a creche that is tailor made to your requirements. Tinies will transform any venue into a children's wonderland, providing any theme for the day and a fun packed entertainments programme that all the children will enjoy. With my experiences of organising children's club activities overseas and also within a nursery setting I feel I have the knowledge and expertise to fulfil this role and assist all future clients.
Jenny King
I am a qualified Nursery Nurse with NNEB completed in 1997 and hold a Level 4 Certificate in Early Years Practice completed in 2007.
I began my career as a sole charge Nanny, shared between 3 families with children as young as newborn up to eight years old. In 2001 I went on to work for a National Nursery chain, Asquith Nurseries and progressed to Nursery Management level, which I held for several years. I managed the Nurseries daily operation for a 100 place nursery with overall responsibility of a staff team of 25.
I was responsible for all staffing and recruitment within the Nursery and recruited qualified Nursery Nurses, as well as training Nursery Assistants up to level 3 qualifications. We provided high quality day care for children 3 months to 5 years during the day and an after school club for children up to the age of 8 years.
I am a mother myself to 2 children a little girl aged 4 years and a boy aged 8 months and as a working parent I understand the importance of leaving your children with professional, capable child carers. I am committed to sourcing the highest quality candidates to all Tinies clients.
