Open 7.30am-6pm Monday to Friday, all year round, only closing for bank holidays and a week over Christmas.
Tinkerbells offers much more than childcare, providing a warm, enriching environment where children aged 0–5 can grow, explore, and thrive. The nursery’s holistic approach supports children’s emotional, physical, social, and intellectual development, nurturing confident, kind, and curious learners.
The curriculum is broad, creative, and hands-on. Children enjoy Forest School, woodwork, gardening, expressive arts, yoga, and healthy eating, while a dedicated art studio and library inspire imagination and a lifelong love of books. The nursery uses Makaton to support inclusive communication and embeds the Kindness Code in all practices.
Central to Tinkerbells’ ethos is a dedicated team of early years practitioners, passionate about understanding and meeting each child’s and family’s unique needs, building strong, respectful partnerships with parents, and working collaboratively to ensure each child feels safe, valued, and empowered.
Tinkerbells views children as capable individuals who flourish when given time, space, and trust to lead their own learning. Upon leaving the nursery, children are not only ready for school but are also equipped with the confidence, compassion, and curiosity to thrive in life.
During school closures, the nursery also offers holiday club facilities for children aged 4 to 11 who usually attend school.
Enquiries regarding visits can be made directly to the nursery team.

My little boy has been attending the day nursery for six months now and has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff are friendly, caring and create a really happy, safe and inclusive environment for the children. The educational provision is fantastic, as are the freshly cooked meals. I would definitely recommend Tinkerbells and look forward to watching my son thrive and develop throughout his journey with the nursery.
One child is currently in the nursery and another has finished but still uses the holiday club. Cannot fault the care that my children have received and the help I've experienced with Tinkerbells. Would recommend them. Love the app with the little pictures, you get updates.

Amazing nursery! My three daughters have all attended this nursery with the youngest coming to her final few months before she starts school. Since starting she's learnt so much and her confidence has rocketed sky high! Love the impact the staff have had on her and I truly feel that my daughter is...

My son has Special Educational Needs and the nursery team has been amazing with him, they always listen to what challenges we are facing and the Special Educational Needs Coordinator is amazing and is very hands-on with getting support in place and filling in endless forms. The girls adore my son and he does them and it's so comforting to know he's in very safe hands and they provide the best care tailoring to his every need all while encouraging his learning.
My son goes to after school club three days a week. He absolutely loves it and isn't happy when I pick him up early. The staff are fab, especially one staff member who my son thinks highly of.

My son goes to after school club three days a week. He absolutely loves it and isn't happy when I pick him up early. The staff are fab, especially one staff member who my son thinks highly of. They have yummy food he says and they do loads of activities. Couldn't praise them enough as my son is so happy there! Loads of fun outside with plenty of outdoor space they play football with each other.
My daughter really wasn't sure about leaving me at first and Tinkerbells took it upon themselves to offer surplus settling sessions which have made a huge difference. She is now absolutely loving it and goes in with no tears. Thank you, team.

Our son has been attending Tinkerbells Nursery for about a year now and the care they give him is second to none. He loves going there and if you ask them to keep your child to a routine then they will do their utmost to accommodate your child's needs. He seems to eat fairly well there so my guess is the food seems pretty decent and it's good how they get all the kids to sleep together at the same time. All in all, a very good nursery.
Tinkerbells Nursery is the best nursery. The staff are amazing with my two children, they provided the best quality care for my children and they are an amazing support to me as well. Overall the best nursery ever and the best staff ever.

My son has been at this nursery since he was 5 months old. We had a good routine with him and the nursery, one staff member, especially, in the baby room was amazing with this always catering to our needs and our son loves her, he has gone up a room now but always gives her a smile and a wave every time he leaves. Since he has been in the toddler room he has come on leaps and bounds. This was also the only nursery in that would take my son as I work shift patterns, so he is not in on set days and I am thankful for how flexible they are and always take my son last minute if my shifts do change unexpectedly, and as I say no other nurseries were willing to accommodate this. I cannot fault Tinkerbells Nursery and I wouldn't want my son to go anywhere else.
My son is constantly stimulated with different things each session. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September and dives into his teacher's arms! Couldn't ask for a better nursery experience for my child.

Since the new manager has taken over Tinkerbells, there has been a huge change, absolutely brilliant changes. The nursery is bright, warm and welcoming. The staff are always so kind and caring and compassionate. Everyone works so well as a team and does truly care for the children as their own. The manager is always happy to help and get involved with the children. The nursery is always clean, and the staff are always presentable. They do amazing activities, from outside play to inside play, getting creative and messy. My son is always coming home happy and has lots to tell me about his day. They are like one big family, I really can't fault the nursery at all.

My daughter had never been to nursery in her first two years, due to being a lockdown toddler but she started Tinkerbells earlier in the year and had the most incredible time! She has a fantastic key worker who is the most amazing lady who she just loves to be around! She comes home telling me about the conversations they've had and the playing they've done. I always get a full handover of what she has been up to while I'm away. After my third child, I've had many nursery nurses and her key worker is one who may have only been with us a short while, but will stick with me forever. You helped us break our lockdown clinginess and made her outlook for school really positive.
We have been very happy with Tinkerbells. Our daughter has taken a while to settle there but she loves it and doesn't stop talking about her day there! The staff are amazing, they let us know what's gone on through the day and how she has been. Lovely spacious environment. Cannot fault the staff at...

My son is 21 months old with Downs Syndrome. He has been attending Tinkerbells nursery for nearly 4 months. The staff are so welcoming and my son has taken to them all so well! If he’s missed lunch or a nap they will cater to what he specifically needs that day. Sometimes he doesn’t want to come home, he has so much fun! I personally love to know that my son is cuddled and consoled when upset/tired/unwell. The staff are very attentive. I never thought I would trust strangers with him but you can just feel when a child is comfortable. This nursery was recommended to me by work colleagues and I would definitely recommend it.
We have been extremely happy with Tinkerbells Nursery over the last 3.5 years. Our daughter's development and care here has been second to none and she has flourished during her time here. We would highly recommend this nursery as the staff really make this place what it is!

I have worked in the early years sector for 30+ years, in various roles. In that time, I have continued my studies and kept abreast of the ever-changing world of early years. I have extensive knowledge of working with young children and thrive on seeing children grow and develop in a fun and exciting environment with teams that love their job!
Here at Tinkerbells, I believe the staff go above and beyond to ensure the best care and experiences for all the children in our care. I look forward to meeting new families and seeing what adventures await us!
