  • The Tiny Toes Nursery Club - Hertford, Hertford
'The Tiny Toes Nursery Club is the cosiest nursery in Hertford.'

Established in 2003 by a pair of working mums, The Tiny Toes Nursery club has evolved into the most reputable Nursery in Hertford, having seen over 700 children ‘graduate’ from its dedicated childcare.

The Tiny Toes nursery club is not a corporate chain nursery, and is in fact an independent and cosy ‘home away from home’ style nursery setting.

They intentionally limit spaces to only ~35 on a given day, which enables them to operate as one large family rather than your child just being another number in a large unfamiliar system.

Being the only Curiosity Approach accredited nursery in the area (inspired by Montessori), their educational philosophy focuses on the modern day approach that brings curiosity, awe and wonder into early childhood, creating the ‘thinkers and doers’ of the future.

As a result of their child-led educational philosophy, they often see children who graduate from the nursery go on to be ahead of their peers when they start school.

Review from Chloe M (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The most wonderful and nurturing nursery with the most caring and loving staff. You’d be hard-pushed to find somewhere better. Genuinely has felt like a second family as it is not too large. They take the children to the castle, the parks and little adventures and both my children since 2017 have had
the most amazing time here. They’ve learnt lots and adored the staff (as have we). Thank you so much Tiny Toes!
Reply from Karina Garcia, Manager at The Tiny Toes Nursery Club - Hertford
Thank you so much it's been our pleasure to help support both the children and we are so proud of the wonderfully kind and funny children they have grown to be. We will miss you all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter absolutely loved Tiny Toes Nursery, always coming out with big smiles and telling me about all the activities she had done.
She built beautiful friendships not only with the children but also with the teachers too.
The learning resources are great, my daughter loved to see what she would
get in her book bag each month.
The variety of food was also great.
We are going to miss Tiny Toes a lot. Thank you for helping my daughter to grow.

Thank you so much, we've loved having her and we will certainly miss the random outbreaks of singing and dancing, the wonderful conversations and the amazing hairstyles. Sending you all lots of luck…read more

My daughter was at Tiny Toes for two and a half years and loved her time there. Tiny Toes has a fantastic family feel and gives the children their fantastic care. I have been so pleased with how my daughter developed during her time there, especially her speech, imagination and inquisitive mind. We
will miss everyone there very much.
Reply from Karina Garcia, Manager at The Tiny Toes Nursery Club - Hertford
Thank you for the lovely review, it means a lot to hear that we are doing a good job. We will miss her too.

Review from Rachel K (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children attended Tiny Toes from 5/6 months until they went to school. It was the best choice we could have made. They were cared for superbly, always. The environment was nurturing, but also somewhere where they could grow and thrive. The relationship between us as parents and staff was
brilliant - receiving helpful feedback and together determining 'what next'. The list could go on - excellent food, trips locally, highly positive staff and an inspirational manager. We recommend Tiny Toes to friends, colleagues and neighbours and we have a long list of people over the years who have loved and love Tiny Toes just as we did.

We sent both of our children to Tiny Toes and they were fantastic with both of them. The staff are so friendly and warm and clearly care for the children in their care enormously. Communication was excellent and we were kept well informed about our children’s progress. We would highly recommend the
nursery.
Reply from Karina Garcia, Manager at The Tiny Toes Nursery Club - Hertford
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We loved having them both and it was lovely to see them both progress so much over the years.

Review from K B (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both our children went to Tiny Toes, starting in the baby room at around 7 months old and leaving aged 4. They loved their time there, from the 'Gruffalo Crumble' to the mud kitchen, walks to the park to feed the ducks, free flow area, reading corner and so much more. Despite the small outside area,
there are so many fun activities packed into it and the children would also go out to the castle, local shops and the town.
The staff were amazing, really cared about the children and even when we see them around Hertford now they stop to talk to our children and see how they're doing. Unlike some other nurseries with a high staff turnover, most of the team at Tiny Toes have been there a long time and this speaks volumes.
I would recommend Tiny Toes to anyone, it has such a family feel to it and we always felt confident that our children were receiving the best care while they were there.
Reply from Karina Garcia, Manager at The Tiny Toes Nursery Club - Hertford
Thank you so much for your review! Gruffalo Crumble always is a favourite with the children (and team too!)

This is a lovely little nursery. Both my daughters attended one of which attended for 3 years and the other for a year and a half. My child grew so much in character. They loved attending every day and we're sad to leave the staff as they moved on to school. I highly recommend this nursery!

Thank you, the girls were a pleasure to have. We will miss them both

My son started at Tiny Toes, they were able to fit him in to start really quickly as I had a change of situation, he was a bit unsettled to start with but once he was in he had a great day he still had a few bad days but the staff made sure he was ok and gave me great feedback at the end of the day.
The staff are all lovely and make sure the children are well looked after. 100% recommend it.

Absolutely love The Tiny Toes, such a cosy and homely nursery! The team are fantastic, and we felt so comfortable so quickly. Much preferred this as it wasn’t as daunting as some of the huge nurseries.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for The Tiny Toes Nursery Club - Hertford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.902 for The Tiny Toes Nursery Club - Hertford is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.902
  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 The Tiny Toes Nursery Club - Hertford is based on 14 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 14 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.

Why you love working in childcare:
I always wanted to work with children from a very young age. I love seeing a child develop throughout their time with us meeting important milestones like walking or potty training, and then seeing their personalities grow, wondering what they will be like as they get older. I also feel that building relationships with the family is so important; we may be the only source of support to them and they are trusting you with their child; When you hear how much they appreciate what we do, the positive impact we've had on them and their child, it makes it all worthwhile.
