Tigers at Theale Day Nursery

We love this nursery and the care they have given our children is great. They have progressed well and settled into each room change well. They have, however, recently put up their prices again and it’s now one of the most expensive in the area.

Our 13-month-old boy has been with Theale Tigers since September and absolutely loves his time there. The staff are wonderful and keep us up to date with all his progress and activities through the easy to use parents' app and give us a detailed handover at the end of each day. His development has come on leaps and bounds along with his confidence. We couldn’t be happier with his care.

My 16m old daughter has been attending tigers in the Butterfly room. She loves it. The staff are so lovely and it’s reassuring to know she’s so well looked after when I drop her off. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in the area. Would love a bit more outdoor space but other than that, nothing but praise.

My little boy is very happy at Tigers at Theale. He enjoys every day there as he is so well looked after with each day filled with fun activities. I get regular updates throughout the day on the app, which reassures me, and a good handover when I collect him at the end of each day. The staff are well trained and caring. My son eats well there, and his language skills and confidence have improved greatly. I think the nursery and staff are excellent.

I have highly recommended this nursery to all my friends, it is fantastic! Our son has been there for almost a year and we have been so impressed by their care, flexibility and determination to go out of their way to provide an excellent service! Just two examples, firstly we are raising our son bilingually and the staff in his room have been learning some words in Swahili to speak with him, playing Swahili nursery rhymes and these things have really encouraged our son's language development and confidence in speaking at nursery. Secondly, I loved that they let him start in the room a bit above his age bracket because I was glad he wouldn't have to transition just a few months into starting and also they have suggested they may let him stay a bit longer in that room, depending on whether he is unsettled by having a new sibling arriving, just to maintain some more stability for him in his routine. I just thought that was so thoughtful, kind and flexible! I am so grateful for this nursery!

Both my daughter have attended Tigers at Theale Day Nursery. My older daughter is now at school but my youngest is still there. Since being at the nursery, both my daughters have flourished, they are always happy to go in and always smiling when they leave. All the staff are very lovely. I love the parent app so I can see pictures and see when my daughter has eaten and been changed. Fantastic nursery!

She absolutely loves it there, which is the main thing.

My daughter started at Tigers at Theale in July 2020. I was worried about sending her at 9-months to a nursery setting to enable me to return to work. For the day she started, she has loved every single session, the staff are excellent, always avaliable to help and advise.

My son has been at Tigers since October 2019, and we are very happy with the standards. He loves it there and has built solid trusting relationships with staff. The staff, including the managers, are always approachable and professional and have done a brilliant job this past year in difficult circumstances. There is clearly an emphasis on continued training, and updates are provided by a weekly newsletter. This includes suggestions for activities you can do at home, which have been very helpful during lockdown! The nursery provides three meals a day, breakfast, a 2-course lunch, and tea. The menu is healthy and varied, recent meals have included chicken curry, chili con carne and fish fingers. The nursery uses the app to record information throughout the day, so I can see at a glance what he has been doing and there is a gallery where photos of activities are uploaded. I would absolutely recommend Tigers to any prospective parent.

I can't recommend Tigers at Theale highly enough, I was recommended them by a friend in 2015 when my daughter was 9-months, since then, they have gone from strength to strength, bringing in new activities and facilities to enrich the children's experience. My son joined my daughter at Tigers in 2017, and initially was reluctant to leave me, the staff at Tigers excelled themselves with ensuring he settled well and that I felt happy to leave him, they even let my daughter visit him from her room or took him to see her in the preschool room to make them both feel secure. My children flourished under the care of the wonderful staff, everyone is welcoming and friendly, all the staff know each child by name and always talk to them as well as the parents. Both my children have been well prepared for school both academically and socially, the whole nursery has a kind, fun, positive atmosphere which encourages children to grow into confident, independent, well-rounded individuals.

My son goes to this nursery, and he is so happy. We are very pleased with the service from the management team to the room staff and the kitchen. We are extremely pleased with the service, and I would definitely recommend this place.

When we were showed around the nursery, my husband and I immediately got a great vibe from Tigers at Theale. The staff are happy, the children are happy and engaged, and we knew the management was right as she picked up a small baby covered in cornflour and water despite her wearing a smart black outfit. She gets involved and doesn't hide in an office. The daily update of photos and videos and what my child has eaten keeps me feeling very connected, and it's always something to look forward to as I'm at work. They have been amazing through covid, and it's clear that health and safety have come first for staff and children, but they haven't lost the fun. They helped make it easier for me to go back to work, and my child loves it here.

The team at Tigers have been so amazing with our son. He's our first child and born just before the pandemic, he hasn't had a chance to socialise so we were quite nervous about him settling in. But with the help of everyone in the room, especially one of the girls, he has really begun to come into his own. The team, work hard with the babies, encouraging them to develop and flourish. Within a month our son has gone from barely crawling to zooming around and even attempting to walk! I really do not think he would be where he is in his development without Tigers. Cannot recommend this nursery enough, and the use of the app to send us regular updates has really helped ease our minds also.

Lovely nursery with a wide range of activities on offer for the children, incorporating different themes and celebrations. Friendly and caring staff who get to know each child individually. Delicious, home-cooked food provided. Would highly recommend!

My daughter goes to Tigers at Theale and she loves it! She always comes home happy, it's nice to know she has a lovely time whilst we have to work. She has learnt so much in the time she has been at Nursery and always keen to talk about what she has been up too once we get her home.

Our son has been attending Tigers at Theale since September 2019 and we have been so impressed and thankful for the outstanding care that all the staff have provided. We are fully updated throughout the day on nap times, food eaten, nappy changes and they send photos and observations of key moments. They take the time to tell us what he has been up to each day and it sets our mind at rest that he is in the best care whilst at Tigers Theale. They really go the extra mile and his confidence has grown so much interacting with the other children and staff who he clearly adores.

My son is a fussy eater, I hope he will learn that soon. Fingers crossed.

It’s a warm environment and the children always seem so happy. Each time they move to another room the previous workers show how important they are and do miss them.

Our son has been going to Tigers at Theale for just over a year and he loves it! All the children are very well behaved which is a credit to all the staff's hard work. He loves Heartbeeps and all the activities they do. It definitely puts my mind at ease sending our son to such a great team of people.

Currently on our second child at the nursery. Always found good growth thoughout. The staff have always been excellent and creating goods bonds and after two children over many years I can't remember either one saying that they didn't want to go.
