Tiney is the UK's fastest-growing Ofsted-approved childminder agency, connecting parents with quality-assured home childminders and supporting educators through training, registration, and ongoing quality assurance. Operating as a government-regulated Childminder Agency (CMA), tiney runs a consumer marketplace plus a mobile app for finding local childcare and managing payments, communication, and children's learning updates. Tiney publishes no public developer API; its backend at api.tiney.co powers the parent and childminder apps and is access-restricted (HTTP 403) and undocumented.
