Review from Claire N (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I absolutely fell in love with this nursery after many visits to other local ones in the area. My daughter has been with the nursery since 20 months old and has settled in amazingly, the staff are all incredible with so much enthusiasm.
Each member of staff remembers my daughter's name ( even the
staff in other rooms) which I think is so personal, it’s amazing.
My daughter's development has really come along since starting at Tiny Tots, her speech has been the massive improvement and her daily log shows me lots of photos and activities she has done which are always filled with so much creativity.


They have also been flexible with adding additional days at short notice which has been a lifesaver.


I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, I have full confidence in them!!

We used Tiny Tots Nursery for both our children and we couldn’t have been happier with the care they received there. Both children were happy and the preparation for school was excellent. All the staff were dedicated to ensuring the children had fantastic experiences. A lovely environment for children.

Tiny Tots has looked after my child from 4 months old and continue to do a wonderful job. Through all her stages of development, the staff have supported and encouraged her, giving her a wide range of play and learning opportunities. The staff are aware of her 'next steps' and provide activities that
will encourage her progression in these. The setting is lovely with a large, well-maintained garden and bright, welcoming rooms. The meals provided are always healthy and diverse, encouraging my child to try new things. I am extremely happy with the provision they give my child and readily recommend the nursery.

My daughter started at 11mths old and has loved it from day one. The staff are great and everyone is welcoming. The menus are great and my daughter loves her lunches. The garden is huge and naturally laid out. I'm so glad I found them and will keep her here until school

I was extremely worried about leaving my 16-month-old son when going back to full-time employment however he loved it. He settled in quickly and became a part of the family. He comes home with so many new skills and adores his teachers. His vocab grows each day as does his singing repertoire and physical
skills.


The nursery is constantly applying to make improvements and innovating. The staff are very friendly and one of the managers is always running around with some sort of tool building new things. The staff are dedicated and send through observations and photos of the kids. I know they really care. It makes a difference knowing he loves being there.


I have recently been potty training and the team have been amazing In helping with the process.


I am so glad I found this nursery. I have complete peace of mind leaving my baby in their care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a mum of four and there is a big age gap between my youngest and her siblings. My eldest son didn't go to nursery as I was a stay at home mum. I was really worried about leaving my daughter in childcare, even more so as she was born with cleft lip and palate and also has allergies.


However,

Tiny Tots is a great place and I couldn't have been more relaxed. My daughter loves it every day, the staff have helped both her and I so very much. They really feel like an extra part of the family and my daughter is very much part of the Tiny Tots family. Words cannot begin to say how much I would highly recommend Tiny Tots.

Review from Sarah H (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my daughters have benefited greatly from attending Tiny Tots. The availability of term time only provision has fitted perfectly with my work as I am at home with my children during the school holidays. My oldest daughter has now moved on to school and it is clear that Tiny Tots gave her a strong
social and educational foundation and a great attitude to exploration and learning.


My youngest daughter attends Tiny Tots currently and absolutely loves it. It is clear that the staff members see each child as an individual and encourage their unique characters to grow. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is a nurturing atmosphere. This combined with the homely feel of the building and the attractive and stimulating outdoor environment make Tiny Tots feel like a home from home for the children. I have always trusted that my children will be safe and happy for Tiny Tots.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Tiny Tots- the staff are warm and friendly and the building and gardens are brilliant. I look forward to hearing about all the things she's been up to each day, there's a good variety of activities and I like the fact that they get to go outside even if the weather
isn't ideal. Lots of crafts, singing, and excitement for her whilst learning to socialise and interact with children and adults alike. Very happy!

We visited a few nurseries for our 2-year-old deaf son and knew straight away Tiny Tots was for him. He was extremely comfortable on his visit and even blew kisses to the teachers when we left. We have not been proven wrong since then, as the care and attention he receives is excellent. They have even
managed to get him to sit down to eat his meals! His speech and understanding have made an amazing improvement since he has attended (March 17) and I always look forward to reading his daily report sheet on what activities he has completed and meals he has eaten!!
The nursery is set in an old farmhouse and has a lovely outdoor area. (our son loves to be outdoors) The rooms are very spacious and each class has a small group of children (important to ensure our son doesn't have too much noise around him). His teacher of the deaf works closely with the nursery to ensure he has the correct support and has also commented on how perfect the nursery was him.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our son has attended Tiny Tots for almost 4 years. We initially chose Tiny Tots as it offers term time only places, which suited us well. We like the fact all the staff have been there for a long time, and the care our son has received throughout his years there has been excellent. The Nursery has
been very supportive of us as a family, the staff genuinely care and are very approachable. The recent changes that have been made only make Tiny Tots an even better place to send our son. Tiny Tots is a lovely nursery and we would not hesitate to recommend to our friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having an autistic son who struggles so much with his education, looking for a placement for my asthmatic daughter was scary. My daughter was nine months when she started Tiny Tots, our first visit felt as if I was in a home from home. I was greeted by amazing ladies with the majority being older than
your average, just out of college nursery practitioners, this made me so comfortable and at ease. I decided TT was the right place for my child to attend and see through her early year's journey.We had a number of settling in visits, having not long finished breastfeeding and moving over to bottle feeding, the ladies were so understanding. I made way too many (looking back) phone calls to ensure she was ok. Every time I was told the exact truth i.e. If she was a little tearful or if she was having a wonderful time playing with a great selection of toys/books. Throughout her progress (she's four now) she has come on leaps and bounds, all the staff sing very much from the same hymn sheet and are just as lovely as one another.

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.
