We attended this nursery for 18 months. Overall, we would not recommend it, and are much happier since switching. Communication was consistently poor and we felt there was very limited visibility into our child's day. Monthly reports varied in quality depending on the key worker and were sometimes...
Photos were disappointingly limited and not very useful. They send a max of 12/month, which feels insufficient to reflect a child's experience. When we raised this with management, they said they wanted staff to focus on spending time with the children rather than taking photos. We found this unsatisfactory, as our experience elsewhere has been that it is possible to provide more informative photos without compromising time with the children
We recognise that every family has different expectations regarding communication. Throughout your child's time with us, we listened to your concerns, discussed these...
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations.We wish you and your family every happiness and success for the future.
TTN was our top choice from the start. We were drawn to the natural environment, wooden toys, and the cosy atmosphere, which felt nurturing rather than overwhelming. The child-led learning they follow was important to us, and it's clear that each child's personality and developmental needs are...
Most importantly, our child is happy. He smiles when he sees his educators and goes in confidently, which shows us he feels safe with them. We are grateful for the cafe and dedication shown by the team.
I would highly recommend this nursery and preschool.

I highly recommend the nursery.
Thank you so much for your recommendation. It's been a joy to care for both of your children and watch them grow with us. Thank you for your review.
I am always in awe of how personalised and attentive my son's care is, his primary worker knows him inside out but so do the other staff who look after the kids with so much care to their individual needs and interests. We really enjoy getting the regular long updates about his development and feel...
Relationships are very important to us and it is so heartwarming to see him develop close bonds with his peers, and how the nursery team nurture these relationships to grow healthy. They have such wonderful friendships at such a young age and it's completely due to the nursery culture!
Thank you for such kind words. We're so proud of the strong relationships built here and love working closely with families to support each child's individual journey. Thank you for taking the time to give us such a wonderful review.
We love the use of all natural objects there and the principles of the nursery.

We have just over a year left before finishing pre-school, and I am certain it will be an emotional day when we have to say our final goodbye to TT & their wonderful staff!
Thank you for such thoughtful words. It's been a privilege to support your family and watch your children grow with us, I will ensure I pass all of your lovely comments over to all our educators at TTN

She has been always very happy to go to nursery and comes back home exited to tell us about her day and all the things she has experienced and learnt. The staff are friendly and very...
As a full time working parent it is important that you have a friendly and trust worthy childcare team to feel comfortable and able to go to work , knowing that your child is safe and supported. I feel we have that at Thames Tiddlers.
Thank you for such a lovely review, it is so nice to read about your daughter's wo nderful journey at TTN :)

We cannot recommend Thames Tiddlers highly enough! Our son loves it and has made so much progress in so many ways since starting 8 months ago. The staff are kind, caring and calm and the activities the children undertake are interesting and engaging. We would highly recommend the nursery.

My son has grown in confidence and learnt new skills during his years at Thames Tiddlers. As a baby, he settled quickly. As a toddler, his needs were gently and considerately met. As a pre-schooler, he comes home full of facts about the world around him, clutching artwork or talking about his friends. The staff are always warm, friendly and responsive to parent feedback. It was the right choice to send him there, and we hope to do the same for our second child.
Thank you for taking the time to give us such a lovely review and all 5 stars too brilliant, so pleased your son has had such a great experience and we look forward to welcoming your second child to TTN.
Our second child is in pre-school at Thames Tiddlers and we love it just as much as we did in 2020 when our eldest started there. At the moment my pre-schooler has a KinderGarden session every Monday, and recently went on a trip to the level crossing in Charlton as well as going on the Woolwich...
Our second child is in pre-school at Thames Tiddlers and we love it just as much as we did in 2020 when our eldest started there. At the moment my pre-schooler has a KinderGarden session every Monday, and recently went on a trip to the level crossing in Charlton as well as going on the Woolwich Ferry. The children on the trip all had a wonderful time and the staff were just brilliant as always, it was a pleasure to see them all playing together and to see how much they love spending time with each other and the staff. Our third child will be enrolled soon too!
Thames Tiddlers has been an oasis for my daughter and a boon for the community. Maybe that's a little hyperbolic but there's nothing better than rocking up for pick-up and marvelling at the absolute state she's in. Nothing but laughs and smiles, clothes painting a story of the day she has had and...
We're expecting our second very soon and will be looking to find a place for them too because of how much our daughter has benefited from their setting and developed as a person.
Wow such a lovely review and we are so pleased that you and your family continue to have a great experience at TTN. All of your kind words will be passed over to our educators and managers at TTN.
My eldest son attended Thames Tiddlers in Pre-School for a year before he started primary school. They were brilliant throughout that time. Communication was always excellent (shout out to the deputy manager for that!). His induction days were well-organised and settled him in nicely. His key...
Overall, Thames Tiddlers got my son ready for primary school so well, it massively helped with his transition. In fact, we are so impressed we're hoping to send our younger son there later this year!
Thank you for such a lovely review and I will pass on your message regarding communication to the deputy manager she will love to hear that :)
Thames Tiddlers is a fantastic nursery, my daughter love attending this setting and staff are amazing. I love all the outdoor activities provided, as my daughter loves exploring outdoors and is at her element when outside.
