Review from Charlotte F (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two sons go to Tiny Tots and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The boys have so much fun and are constantly challenged with new activities and experiences. The indoor rooms are lovely with a homely feel and without that stale nappy smell that is pervasive in so many nurseries. The large enclosed
garden away from any main roads is a huge plus. The children are encouraged to be outside as much as possible when the weather permits and there are so many things for them to do in the garden. I also really like the balance of structured activities and independence for the children, which the staff get spot on. Without a doubt though the best thing about this nursery is the amazing staff who treat every child like their own and as individuals, tailoring their care and learning to the individual needs of each child. My two adore them all and often talk about their 'teachers' at home. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

I can't thank the staff at this nursery enough! My daughter attended years ago and absolutely loved it here. I moved out of the immediate area when she went to school and so my son attended a different nursery, who ultimately didn't even do the bare minimum for him. I contacted Tiny Tots to see if they
could take him on despite there being concerns about my son's educational needs and no actual answers as to what those needs are/will be and they took him on no questions asked! Since being with them, he is like a different child at home and has been making so much progress. He loves the garden and gets so excited to go in on his nursery days! I'd recommend them to anyone!

Our child is receiving the best possible care and we are very happy with that too.
We have seen him thrive, grow and develop - everyone is so committed. As a team, everyone helps out and it shows in our child's life.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I knew Tiny Tots was the nursery for my little girl. We came to view, as we did a lot of nurseries, when my daughter was only 6 weeks old. I feel I am extremely fussy as I worked with children for over 15 years. I knew from the moment I walked in, that we were both going to love it. All staff were very
happy and friendly. The children were engaged in activities and seemed very happy. Spacious garden and lovely facilities. The manager is very warming. A year later, my daughter started and she loved it from day one and felt happy and confident. The girls in the room - especially her key person were lovely. The communication has always been amazing and they do not only care for the children well but go above and beyond for parents too! They pick up on emotions and check in to see if they can help! I am fortunate enough to have secured a job within the nursery starting next month. We both look forward to continuing our Tiny Tots journey for what will hopefully be a few years!

Both of my girls attend Tiny Tots aged 2 and 3 years old and it's like a home from home and they love it. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and my girls are kept safe and have so much fun there. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My little girl loves her time at Tiny Tots, she has built great relationships with the staff and other children. They have a fantastic schedule and benefit from so many activities with a huge garden which they spend a lot of time exploring. The staff are amazing, so caring and supportive. Highly recommend!

I cannot sing the praises of Tiny Tots any louder! The building and gardens are lovely, the rooms are homely with so many activities and items for the children to explore, and the staff are incredible! Our twins absolutely loved their time at nursery, they were always treated as individuals, and were
prepared so well by the caring staff in preschool for their transition to big school and separate classes! We would highly recommend Tiny Tots.

My child has loved attending Tiny Tots nursery. They always offer a variety of play opportunities and support to become more independent when preparing for the transition to starting school. The staff are friendly, very supportive and have offered an amazing service during the pandemic.

My son started at this nursery due to COVID-19 and it was the best move we made. I liked his previous nursery but when they reopened I decided to keep him at Tiny Tots. He settled in straight away which was a shock as it took him 3 months to settle in his old one. The information sharing is amazing
with the Eylog app so you can see how they get on straight away. He has only been there a short time but has been confident enough to potty train and quite successfully. I can recommend the nursery enough, the staff are lovely and my son asks to go all the time and is excited to go.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has attended Tiny Tots since January 2020. The team are incredibly caring and cohesive and as parents, we feel wholeheartedly trusting of the care that all members have provided. Tiny Tots have a great indoor and outdoor space that feels more like a home environment than a nursery. Our child
adores being outside and he is able to do this safely at nursery. Our child has developed in confidence and we believe that he has developed faster than he would have if he would have been solely at home. Activities throughout the day are varied and resources are plentiful. Management are always approachable, supportive and aware of all of the children in the nursery. This provides us with the reassurance that they are creating a supportive environment for their team and this shines through when you start to get to know the staff. Our child has attended Tiny Tots throughout the coronavirus pandemic and the care that they received was nothing short of exceptional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is very outgoing, confident and happy and I can’t take all the credit for that! My daughter has been at Tiny Tots since she was 9-months-old! The staff always do a fantastic job at understanding her individual needs and potential, and it’s so welcomed as a parent! Especially when you work
full time.
There is a fantastic outdoor space at the nursery allowing the children to explore and experiment. It feels like a home from home as my child is used to the outdoors!
My daughter is a delight, however, she needs a lot of stimulation. Tiny Tots where fantastic during the lockdown and sent lots of resources to keep us busy! I’ve been really impressed how the nursery have handled the pandemic since reopening on the 1st June!
All in all Tiny Tots come highly recommended!

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, fun, clean and friendly environment. The online daily updates with photos makes me feel a lot more relaxed and secure knowing my children are having fun whilst learning and are well looked after. My children love the healthy home-cooked
food and always ask for seconds. Any worries or concerns are fully addressed straight away. Both my son and daughter attend in different classes and get excited to go every morning.

Great nursery with amazing staff! My 2 sons absolutely love it here, they have such great days and are always so happy there. The staff are second to none! One of the main reasons why we chose this nursery was due to the staff and what the nursery offers. They have a varied menu for lunches and tea,
my children never go hungry! Very lucky to have found this nursery when we moved to the area.

Since attending this nursery our son has come on leaps and bounds and it is really incredible to see, from his speech to his confidence in trying new activities.
The nursery is set in a lovely environment with lots of outside space, it has a sensory room inside which is also a lovely area for the children.
Every member of staff I have ever come into contact with has been incredible, they are all so friendly and welcoming and make the nursery feel like a second home. They have a genuine care for each child and I love that we receive updates about our son throughout the day on their interactive log.
They cater incredibly well for our sons' allergies and provide a well-balanced menu for him.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough, its development, care and compassion and interest of each child puts it above any other we viewed.

Absolutely wonderful nursery, after viewing a few - this was the most comforting and not only are the surroundings brilliant for the babies, the key workers are so caring, attentive and involved. My daughter is so happy here and isn't a fan of being collected at the end of her nursery session! I have
seen her come on leaps and bounds since starting in May 2019.

My son is currently at Tiny tots and my eldest son was there all the way up until school so I have a good understanding of how the nursery works. I could not recommend Tiny Tots more, the staff are so caring and go above and beyond to take care of their children well. My son has completely blossomed
in development and confidence since being there and runs into nursery of a morning to get in there as quickly as possible. They have an extremely good focus on making sure the children develop in all aspects like speech, reading, eating, social awareness and fun etc. The communication is so important as a parent and you receive daily updates and photos from staff which I really appreciate as a full time working mum. I could go on about so many positives, it is an excellent nursery and I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else.

My daughter has been going to Tiny Tots since 2016.
I love how friendly all the staff are to both parents and children, knowing each child’s name and making your child feel special.
My daughter has thrived here which is shown in her own personal development.
The new updates to the nursery have
been fully embraced, including the online system which is used to keep you up to date on your child’s learning journey.
I was very apprehensive about leaving my then 10-month-old baby with ‘strangers’ (being a first-time mum) but the professionalism of the staff really put me at ease.
My nearly 3 year old loves nursery day, so much so I don’t even get a kiss goodbye!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.580)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.580) out of 10 for Tiny Tots Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.580 for Tiny Tots Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.58
  2. 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 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
