Toddler and Me in short

Toddler and Me is a setting-based childcare business at the Garden Room in Buildwas, mixing bespoke childcare with weekly baby and toddler classes from one team. A second daycare at Grindle House Farm in Shifnal is on the way, and the limited company behind the name sits on the public record. If you want classes and care under one roof in a rural setting, this is the Telford name built for it.

Customer reviews are spotless so far, with top marks on Google across the board. Our verdict: Toddler and Me suits you if you want a rural Buildwas setting whose staff qualifications are stated on the site. It counts against it that session prices and insurance go unpublished, and the new Grindle setting still awaits its own registration. Few but perfect reviews, then.

The record shows setting-based childcare from the Garden Room at Home Farm in Buildwas, open since June of last year, with weekly baby and toddler classes running from the same team. A second daycare at Grindle House Farm in Shifnal is on the way, though it sits outside this assessment until its own registration lands. The business suits Buildwas families first, then Shifnal and Telford parents who can travel.

The whole customer record is a single Google listing with a small handful of reviews behind it. One source means one angle: satisfaction without detail, and no second site of parent opinion to test it against. The stated staff qualifications and the checkable company record tell you more about the business than the reviews can.

Our judgement: Toddler and Me suits you if you want a rural setting near Buildwas that mixes childcare with organised baby and toddler classes, run by a team whose qualifications are stated on the site [2] [4]. It counts against it that prices and insurance are unpublished and the second setting is not yet registered [1] [4]. Its Google reviews are few but perfect [7].

Questions about Toddler and Me

Is Toddler and Me any good?

On the evidence, yes for Buildwas families: it sits second in our Telford childminders table, holds top marks on Google, and states its team qualifications on its site [7] [4]. The company is young and prices go unpublished. Read the full review and its sources, then book a visit to the Garden Room.

Is Toddler and Me Ofsted registered?

The setting states it opened as a fully registered Ofsted childminder, and Ofsted membership is listed on the business's own website [4]. The new Grindle daycare is described as awaiting its own registration, so it sits outside this assessment [4]. Ask for the URN and check it yourself on the Ofsted reports site.

What does Toddler and Me charge?

It publishes no session prices, fee scale or VAT terms on the pages checked, so costs only emerge on enquiry [1]. That is the thinnest pricing picture among the ranked settings. Send your exact hours and ask for an itemised written quote, including how funded hours would apply to you.

Where does Toddler and Me work?

Childcare runs from the Garden Room in Buildwas, with baby and toddler classes across Telford and a new daycare due at Grindle House Farm in Shifnal [1] [3]. It suits Buildwas and Shifnal families first. Send your postcode with the enquiry and ask which site your child would attend. The Shifnal site sits outside this assessment until registered.

How is Toddler and Me ranked?

It ranks second of the four childminders in our September round, picked for setting-based care with classes from one team. Unpublished prices and a young company record count against it. Read the full review, then ask for prices and the registration number in writing. Start with the best-for labels to see who each setting suits.

How do I get a quote from Toddler and Me?

Send your exact hours through the website contact form or by phone, since no session prices appear on the site [1]. Ask for an itemised written quote showing how funded hours would apply to your pattern, plus the VAT position. Keep the reply in writing, as there is no fees page to check it against.

What do the reviews say about Toddler and Me?

All of them are positive: the Google listing shows top marks across its handful of reviews, seen in early September [7]. That is a clean start rather than a track record, and the reviews describe no detail beyond the score. Read the listing yourself, then let the visit to the Garden Room settle the question.

How does Toddler and Me compare with the others in the round?

It is the round's only setting-based operation, with classes no rival offers and a checkable company record behind it. Against that, it publishes no prices at all, and the company record is young. Childminding 4 U suits price-first parents; Toddler and Me suits parents who want classes with their childcare.
