All of the staff are incredible with my child, always giving thorough feedback on her day on pick up. The setting is beautiful and the nursery in general is well organised and spotless. Staff are well accommodating of dietary needs.

Since my son started in Aug 2024, his development has come on loads, he took a little bit of time to settle into his new routine but the staff in both baby and toddlers have been amazing with him, he's always super happy to be dropped off and it's great that everything is on an app so you can see what
your child has eaten and slept for during the day plus you get lovely observations of what they have been up to!

Our Son loves attending Tiny Tots and is always full of smiles and chatter about the activities at the end of the day. The staff genuinely care and take an interest in his growth and development and it is lovely to see the relationship he has built with them and the other children in the room.

My daughter started in September and since joining she has excelled. When she started nursery she didn't speak, wasn't potty trained and was such a nervous kid. In the last 5 months, she is now potty trained, her speech is fluent and she has grown with so much confidence. I believe that the nursery
has helped and supported her so much and as parents, we are entirely grateful. The nursery staff are amazing and keep us updated regularly with her achievements and are always there to listen and take on board everything we request. They always welcome her with a smile and open arms. The nursery is stunning and has a really warm home feeling. The garden space is lovely and the daily activities always have so much thought in them. My daughter comes home so excited and tells us about her day. Tiny Tots Nursery School has done wonders for us as a family and we are really pleased that we found somewhere so perfect. Thank you to everyone at Tiny Tots for all your hard work and for being a fantastic team.

My daughter is currently attending Tiny Tots Nursery School and absolutely loves it. They keep us updated with her progress, what she's done in the day and even usually have a few little anecdotes for me at pick up which is so lovely. She's become a very confident, clever girl whilst attending and we're
very happy

Enrolled my daughter here with complete apprehension after a terrible first childcare experience. Have to say they are incredible any doubts or concerns have been washed away. The staff are always so helpful even when we needed a bit extra monitoring they made sure to do this without question and made
it painless for me. No doubt in my mind the nursery is incredible. My daughter comes home learning new words each day and new skills never ceases to amaze me how much they teach her there.

My daughter is very happy at Tiny Tots. She is cared for daily by kind, friendly and consistent staff. Communication has improved massively over time and we enjoy regular updates on the app. The outside space is fantastic and my daughter enjoys caring for the giant land snails. I would highly recommend
Tiny Tots.

Both my children have attended this nursery and they have enjoyed their time there. The staff really care about the children and it shows. They encourage the children to be outside as much as possible and the walled garden is just lovely.
It is very expensive and they do not offer term time-only care
which is disappointing. The management is rarely in the office to speak to and does not always respond to emails which is frustrating at times.

Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your children have enjoyed their time at the nursery and that our staff's care shines through.

Overall very happy with the nursery and how my little one has settled and loves going in. The staff in the room are so warm and welcoming and gives me confidence about the care provided.
Would like to have visibility on the menus so we could try to recreate some at home. Also, would be easier for
the babies to have access to the cubbies again as having them in the room delays pickup.

Very happy with the Poppies class. Regular communication from staff and always in the loop. My son has progressed so much from being in this class and it is down to the great resources, well-planned curriculum and hands-on teaching from the staff.

My little girl has been at Tiny Tots since she was 12 months, very happy with the overall setting and most importantly she is very happy there, and looks forward to attending! Lots of changes recently but all very positive, new manager is wonderful, has transformed the nursery inside as well as the
gardens and has also employed some new chefs who seem to be cooking up a very healthy storm in the kitchen! Really good to see and my little girl seems to be really enjoying the food and trying new things!

We love Tiny Tots and have sent both our children here, most importantly they have loved their time here and are always happy to go in. We have never had any problems and the management are very approachable and friendly when you need anything. The staff are very loving and caring (especially those
of the baby rooms) which I value as one of the most important aspects to have within a nursery. Thank you so much to all the staff who work so hard doing the most important job of all - taking care of our most cherished!

The staff in Poppies always work hard to further my child’s learning, and have also been amazing with her allergies (she carries EpiPens), always making sure she is safe in a way that does not exclude her from others. Communication is always fab too.

Our children have attended since 2020. We feel the nursery isn't as good as it was when the previous managers were in charge. The pre-school children seem to go in the garden less and have less variety of things to do. We are also disappointed at how much screen time they seem to have. There is a
large turnover of staff which is particularly difficult for our younger child, and the nursery seems to be relying on multiple agency staff. The admin also isn't great, I had to chase the office for multiple weeks to get my youngest child's days changed.
Most of the room staff are great, my youngest is very attached to his key worker which is lovely. The staff in pre-school are also lovely and my oldest child enjoys seeing them. My oldest's language has really developed and his writing has improved. We like the fact that they are taught sign language. They also do a lot around different holidays from around the world which he enjoys.

Everyone at the nursery meets us with a smile and are extremely helpful. The nursery team are amazing. We first met them with our eldest one and we were really happy for the attention they gave to him. Now we have our youngest who started nursery in August. He absolutely loves going to nursery and never
cries. His Key Worker always goes into detail about how his day went and posts pictures online, which is very nice for us to see what he is doing every day. Our little one always struggled with eating since he was born and I am so happy to see she is always trying to offer him new food to try and encourage him to try new things for his age. We are extremely grateful for all the help and very happy with the attention he gets from your team. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.597)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.597) out of 10 for Tiny Tots Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.597 for Tiny Tots Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.597

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiny Tots Nursery School is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
