"Every oak begins with an acorn - every child's journey begins with a safe, nurturing start."

Hello, I'm Tina

Welcome to Little Acorn Explorers, where every child is nurtured to grow into a confident young learner. As an Oxford-based, Ofsted-registered childminder with over 20 years of experience, I provide a warm home-from-home environment where children feel safe, valued, and free to explore. Through play, creativity, and outdoor adventures, I help each little acorn discover their unique strengths and develop strong roots for their journey ahead. Every child grows at their own pace here, building the independence and resilience they need to flourish—both now and when they reach school.

Testimonials

“Tina has been an incredible part of Harley’s life since he was a baby, and now at five years old, it’s hard to imagine our lives without her. Over the years, Tina has become so much more than a childminder, Harley is a part of her family. 

​

Tina is one of the kindest, most caring and genuine people I know. She goes above and beyond for the children in her care and puts so much love and thought into everything she does. Whether it’s taking them on exciting days out, creating adventures, helping them learn, or simply being there for them every day, she always makes sure they are happy, learning, exploring and making the most wonderful memories.

​

There is nothing more important to me as a parent than knowing my child is safe, happy and loved when I’m not there and with Tina, I have never had to worry. I trust her completely, and that trust is something I will always be incredibly grateful for.”
