The days are varied, engaging, and thoughtfully planned, giving the children a great mix of play, learning, and social time. It's such a relief knowing they're in a place where they're not only safe and well cared for, but truly happy and thriving.
We honestly couldn't ask for more. It feels like the best possible nursery with the best possible people, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found it.
They always take the time to listen and give advice and arrange a long time to chat through any issues. Their communication is brilliant in all areas. They supported and helped the potty training experience working as a great team using resources such as books etc to help alongside us at home which made it so smooth. They are also very aware of any changes in a child's life and how they can keep an eye and support this in the nursery setting. My son loves it here and has made some great connections with the staff. I would recommend to anyone.
1. Staff, are incredibly warm and caring and create a safe and nurturing environment. The children really do thrive and feel comfortable early on. Each educator genuinely does care for every child (even after they have 'graduated') and they make the children excited to learn.
2. Engaging activities - come rain or shine outside activities are always encouraged in Tots' fantastic garden or on the school grounds. Indoor activities are also fun, messy and active. Tots bring in outside companies to allow the children to participate in dance class football etc.
3. Communication - the communication is excellent. I receive regular updates verbally or through the app. The handovers are informative and never rushed and they are always happy to discuss anything extra.
Overall, the staff and management team really make this nursery the special place it is and it truly has been a wonderful experience for me and my two children.
The entire staff is attentive, warm, and genuinely caring. They've completely put my mind at ease knowing my son is in such good hands. Beyond the fantastic team, the nursery also boasts excellent facilities. A real bonus for us has been the food; my son, who used to be a fussy eater, now enjoys mealtimes thanks to the delicious meals prepared by their chef.
Tots Village doesn't just excel at caring for my son, they're also fantastic at communicating with me as a parent. He's thrived here, learning so much and always happy. I could go on and on about all the positives, but suffice it to say, we couldn't be happier with our experience.
My daughter started at Tots Village Nursery last July and she has had a wonderful experience there. I really couldn't be more pleased with my choice of nursery! The care the staff take to ensure her happiness, growth, stimulation and education is second to none. She looks forward to every day spent learning and being in a secure and nurturing environment. Thank you Tots.
The facilities and outside space are carefully designed to maximize potential. The children are so happy there, that they are often not ready for the day to end. The children have made long-lasting friendships which have continued post leaving nursery.
My son is extremely happy at Tots Village. We never have any issues at drop off, with him walking straight in excitedly. The team obviously really care about him, and his ongoing development. The app is very clear, updated well and makes communication very effective.
My daughter has been attending Tots Village for over a year and a half now and absolutely loves it! The staff are absolutely amazing and care so much for the children. Every activity they do on a day-to-day basis has so much thought and effort put into it. Tots Village was the only nursery we looked at, as when we visited we instantly felt at ease leaving our daughter there. Such a lovely family, friendly environment. My daughter has learnt so much since attending and loves it so much, she even asked to go on the weekend!
Everything about Tots Village is outstanding. We moved my son there back in September from a different nursery setting, and I still can't get over how quickly he settled and grew in confidence. He absolutely loves going to Tots and always comes out with a huge grin on his face! The staff go above and beyond for both children and parents and we couldn't be happier.
I can't say enough great things about Tots Village Nursery. My son has attended 4 days a week since August 2021 and absolutely loves this place. The environment is fantastic, the staff could not be more helpful and engaging, the activities are hugely varied and teach the children so much about the world. They are also excellent at preparing older children for school.
Our boy started nursery in January and we've been hugely impressed with the staff and facilities at Tots Village. The settling-in period was perfect for him (a fairly clingy baby) to adjust and the regular updates have been so reassuring. The staff couldn't be friendlier and more helpful, at Tots Village our boy feels like an individual rather than a number. Couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.
Tots Village have the most incredible team of early educators. They are so loving and kind. My daughter has been with them since September and they settled her in beautifully, she is so happy there. I honestly can't rate them highly enough. Thank you for everything you do!
Our little girl has been attending since December and absolutely loves it! The staff have been amazing and we're so grateful for everyone assisting in her development. The daily updates are fantastic. We highly recommend Tot's!
Both our children (2 and a 1-year-old) attend Tots Nursery and have done since they both turned 1. From the word go, the whole team have constantly impressed my partner and I. They've been fantastic at communication, helping wherever possible (advice when our oldest entered the "terrible 2's", etc.), and just generally making us feel like our children and the care, and education they require has been their top priority. Most importantly, both our children have some real bonds with several of the educators at Tots - sometimes I am sure my daughter doesn't actually want to leave the nursery when we pick her up!
Our little man has been attending Tots Village Nursery since 2023 and we could not have hoped for a better nursery to send him to. He loves going and looks forward to it every day. The environment, staff and whole set up is brilliant. We've already enlisted baby number two!
The staff are incredible, kind and understanding. They have really helped my son grow and learn new skills. I highly recommend Tot's Nursery!
My little boy has been going to Tots Village Nursery for about 4 months now and he loves it! Returning to work and putting your trust in others to care for your child for the majority of the week is daunting, but knowing how much the team care and love him and how much he loves going is a massive relief. Thank you to the team for everything.
My daughter has been attending Tots village Nursery for over two years and I couldn't be happier with our childcare choice. It has such a caring, fun and safe atmosphere, not to mention the wide range of activities and food that she has every week. My son is now signed up to join this April and I couldn't be more excited for him to meet the wonderful staff and get stuck in! I would highly recommend Tots to my friends and family.
My son has been going to Tots' Village Nursery for a couple of years now and he absolutely loves it! The staff are all amazing - so caring and attentive, you couldn't fault them. I know he's happy there and in safe hands! The nursery has a wide range of activities and resources, and my son is always learning and growing. He's made great friends and special bonds with his educators. I would highly recommend Tots' Village Nursery to any parent looking for a high quality nursery and I look forward to my youngest joining in the near future.
I honestly cannot fault Tots Village Nursery, all the staff there show amazing care and understanding towards your child’s needs. Always go above and beyond for both the parents and children. Extra exciting activities are always organised as well. A dental nurse has been in to discuss teeth brushing with a goodie bag to take home for all children. They do dance classes, kick about classes and sing and sign. Both my children have now been and we as a family feel incredibly lucky we found them.
