Once you have passed registration, you’ll be able to create your tiney home profile within the app.
The profile builder allows you to create and edit your tiney profile page which appears on the tiney.co website. Your profile page is a crucial tool for promoting your tiney home and a great way to give potential customers a window in to what’s great about you and your home nursery. As such, please take your time when creating the profile and give real thought and attention to giving an exciting and accurate picture of what you offer.
We will run through the content of a tiney profile and what you should include in each section.
Using profile builder
Tap on each of the headings to add details about your space. Once complete, you can preview and then submit your profile!
Setting
This section lets you set your tiney home name, the ages you cater for, as well as amenities, education, and some words to describe your setting.
Here you should provide a short summary of your tiney home nursery to engage potential parents, including the most important aspects of your home nursery such as its location, things you offer, and amenities.
For example:
"A tiney nursery home with a garden and lots of resources. Prime location next to transport links, parks, children's centres, libraries and other amenities. We provide vegan meals and offer school collections." - Precious Little Souls tiney home
"A tiney home from home nursery, close to local schools, parks and shops! We have a lovely separate playroom, large garden space with 3 chickens and vegetable boxes and a separate sleep room! Fees include three meals and snacks, local groups and outings. Our core hours are 7:30a.m to 5:00p.m and we offer additional hours." - Mini Moons tiney home
About you
Here you can tell us a bit more about your hobbies, qualifications, experience plus any other languages you speak. If you work with another childminder or assistant you can also add them to the profile too. (Press Add More on the main screen)
Location
In this section, you can tell us about nearby transport links, activities, any schools you might do pickup or drop off from. You can also add frequently visited places, such as local parks or beaches!
Photos
You can now set a large key photo on your profile which parents will see when they first visit your profile. We’ve also made it easier for parents to see different areas of your space by organising photos into sections. Upload separate photos for your main space, play area, as well as places you visit and unique features. Read our top tips for taking photos.
Your photos should show your home and setting exactly as they are. It's fine to adjust brightness or colour, or straighten a shot, but don't use filters, editing tools or AI to add, remove or change anything in the photo. Families rely on your profile to be a true picture of your setting, so keep it real.
Reviews
Here you can add other reviews and testimonials from other tiney parents. Simply add each review and it'll appear on your profile after approval.
Adding childminders, assistants, and pets
Tap the Add More button at the bottom of the main screen.
Adding childminders and assistants
Tap the relevant option to add details about them. You can choose to include a photo, and tell us about their likes, qualifications, and interests, plus any languages they speak.
Other childminders will appear on the main part of your profile, and assistants will appear on your profile page.
Adding pets
Let's not forget our little pals, be they furry, feathery, or scaly! You can add all pets who live at your tiney home, including names and photos.
Preview and Submit
Once you're happy with all of your changes, preview your profile and then submit it for approval. Some edits you make to your profile will be approved by our community team before they are visible on the main tiney site. It can take a few hours before your changes are reflected on the tiney website. We’ve added this approval step to make sure that everything is accurate for families, as well as being able to advise you on areas you might want to tweak or improve to help find more customers.
You won’t be able to make any edits whilst your page is waiting to be approved, however we aim to review these quickly at tiney.
If you’re creating your profile for the first time, please make sure that you submit as much information as possible first time round to ensure we can get your page live with the minimal amount of changes.
You can always browse other pages for inspiration by using the Find Childcare map on the main tiney.co site.
