About tiney
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.
Founded in 2018, tiney is a software-driven childcare company with ~100 employees. We’ve raised over £12m from top European VCs and are already a top 5 childcare provider in the UK by childcare places, processing over £1m in payments every month.
In 2024, we were recognised as the 86th fastest-growing start-up in the UK & Ireland and shortlisted for the Global EdTech Prize.
Our ambition: move into the top 3, expand internationally, and build the world’s first home-based childcare operating system.

- Play is a superpower – Curiosity, joy, and creativity fuel innovation.
- Rest is rocket fuel – We look after ourselves and each other to sustain impact.
- Asking for help shows wisdom – Vulnerability and openness are strengths.

- Default to transparency – Trust comes from openness and honesty.
