communication is great-they are always happy to answer any of my enquiries. I receive updates, photos what my child is up to, what they are learning about, links to songs so I can learn it with her. :)My child is happy, and loves going to nursery.

Review of TicTots Day Nursery & Creche Strand from Gemma H (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 2 year old son who has SEN is thriving at this nursery. He absolutely loves attending and gets lots of attention from the staff. He settled in really well and enjoys all aspects of his nursery life. I am very happy with how my son has settled in at this nursery given he is non verbal and possible ASD. The staff do a great job and nothing is ever too much for them. Well done to all the staff at Tictots Strand.

We love the way the staff really know and care for our child, and we enjoy the feedback at the end of each session. The nursery is always welcoming, and there are loads of different activities. We love that the learning and fun is so carefully planned. We like the caring values the children are taught. We always recommend it as a fantastic nursery.

Thanks everyone!! xx

Review of TicTots Day Nursery & Creche Bolton from T B (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As a mum, I feel comfortable sending my son to this nursery. The staff are lovely and caring and ensure they are well looked after. I was supported when potty training my son and when I was worried about his eating habits. Overall the nursery is great and has great facilities, the only I would like to see improve is better communication regarding your child's progression and regular updates or

meetings with your child's key carer. I also find it can be difficult sometimes to get hold of team leaders for queries etc.

Reply from Kirstie Hookins, Customer Service at TicTots Day Nursery & Creche Bolton

Really happy to hear all of the positives! Please remember that between the hours of 9:30-3:30 we are very busy with the children, doing hands on activities, daily miles, welcome time, dinner and snacks. We are one of the only nurseries that do daily targeted communication activities and SEN...

Review of TicTots Day Nursery & Creche Bolton from F D (Father of Child) published on 2 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

TicTots Bolton is excellent value for money and the setting is very flexible taking into consideration children's sickness/absence etc. The environment is open and welcoming making it comfortable for me as a parent to ask questions about my child. I do feel though the daily forms are not bespoke to each child which doesn't provide much of an insight. I feel my child has developed really well and the staff takes ownership for this. Just a shame as a parent I've not been provided with the opportunity and been declined when I asked for a sit down and chat to understand my child's development areas and strong areas, even though this opportunity was told to me when initially having viewing. Overall TicTots Bolton is a place I have and will continue to recommend. I feel comfortable dropping my child off there and feel the staff have her best interest. Just hope I'm the near future the couple of areas I've highlighted are reviewed and fixed.

Review of TicTots Day Nursery & Creche Strand from A M (Mother of Child) published on 30 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are friendly, my son enjoys the nursery now he has settled in and enjoys playing with the other children. I like the fact they often go for walks as the outdoor area isn't the biggest. Throughout the school holidays, the children have been taken on extra trips to the space centre which my son has really enjoyed with additional bus rides. Although I do wish I was made aware of this before he is taken out on trips, I would like to know where he is if not within the setting.
I feel the nursery could improve on meals as often my son doesn't like the meals offered and isn't always given an alternative or is given things I would class as a snack as the evening meal. Additionally, I think the nursery could improve on handovers. Very often the staff are unaware of what the meals were or the amount eaten and I can't rely on my son to give me an accurate answer. They also don't often give much info on what has happened throughout the day.

Overall I am happy with the nursery.

Review of TicTots Day Nursery & Creche Strand from M N (Mother of Child) published on 30 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter joined the nursery at 1 year old after Covid and was very shy. We were anxious about how she would adjust. However, from her first day there, she was surrounded with warmth and care, fun and play, and a brilliant learning environment, staff were very good at reassuring her. My daughter is in the last year from this September and we can see how much she has developed from when she first started. My daughter is good with numbers, shapes, songs, colours and she is now learning to write her name.
The staff are kind and patient, and as parents, we appreciate the updates this be through emails, class dojo and the online parent portal and reports.
The outdoor space isn't very big which may be a negative for some but the children attend the library on the bus, they go for regular walks every day and also attend the supermarket.
The nursery has been very good and flexible for us as a family.

The most important thing I can totally trust them to look after my daughter.

Reply from Deborah Thompson, Owner at TicTots Day Nursery & Creche Strand

We love having your daughter and singing her favourite songs with her, she is coming out of her shell now and this is nice to see that she is progressing so well. Thank you for your lovely comments and we really appreciate you taking the time, we know you are so busy!

Review of TicTots Day Nursery & Creche Ashton from T R (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter began nursery at TicTots in January of 2024, since beginning at the nursery staff have encouraged her to learn so much and her social skills have become amazing! She has come on leaps and bounds with making friends and communicating with staff, she’s learnt to toilet train with so much encouragement from staff and learnt so many new numbers words and colours, I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough! I have never found a fault with staff and handovers have always been brilliant! They show so much compassion and kindness towards the children they look after and offer so much reassurance towards parents and carers! They make so much use out of their outdoor space when the weather is nice and always try to get out with the children to explore the outdoor environment teaching children major life lessons such as road awareness and teaching them about the environment around them, definitely would recommend to anyone who asked!

Had all three of my children at TicTots, one currently still there. Staff are amazing, friendly and attentive. They go above and beyond for the children and the parents. Regular emails and messages updating you on where your child is up to, what they are doing the following week and upcoming terms. Amazing nursery!

I feel the nursery is very caring and supportive. It could improve in the reports element as sometimes they have not been accurate. Overall I feel my son's development has excelled due to the nursery environment and support.

Outstanding service from all colleagues. I feel comfortable leaving our child in their capable hands week after week. They ensure that the kids are looked after and do plenty of activities to keep them engaged. At the end of all sessions, I’m given a full overview of how their day went, including their food and naps.

Overall Experience
This nursery is five stars - both my children love it here. They teach them all sorts from how to be independent, good manners and of course help with development.
My little boy has struggled with pronunciation and was given an opportunity to work alongside the nursery in a speech and language course over six weeks, which he loved. His speech has come on so much.

All staff and facilities are great here!
