About Us

At tiney, we’re on a mission to unlock the potential of every child by revolutionising early years education.

We believe all children deserve access to high-quality, nurturing, play-based learning — and that the best way to make this happen is by empowering a new generation of brilliant childminders. We use technology, community, and creativity to build a network of early educators who are not only trained and supported by us but backed by a system that’s designed to help them (and the children they care for) truly thrive.

Our team is small but mighty, united by a shared purpose and a strong set of values:

🎈 Play is a superpower – Curiosity, joy, and creativity are essential ingredients for innovation and growth.

🌱 Rest is rocket fuel – To build great things, we need to look after ourselves and each other.

🤝 Asking for help shows wisdom, not weakness – We champion vulnerability and openness.

💪 We grow stronger after a fall - We know mistakes happen, we learn from them.

🥰 Every day we can earn trust - With trust as our North Star, we’ll build a company that will last.

🙋 Curious minds see more - We encourage inquisitiveness and curiosity.

👶 People policies with children at the core – We support the whole person, not just the job title.

💬 Default to transparency – We build trust through openness and honest communication.

Our plans are ambitious, we have over 1000 childminders and our 2026 plans are to double this! We're looking for someone who's energised by people and solving problems.

• You're super organised, live by your calendar, and know how to develop processes to make sure you never miss a beat!
