Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The atmosphere within the nursery is always welcoming and the teachers within the facility have really helped my daughter settle in and boost her confidence. I'd like to thank the deputy manager Shamsa for her constant support and how much she has always involved my daughter with all activities. Truly
appreciated. Alex and Kiya are also amazing members of staff who provide great support and learning. It's just a shame about the manager who has no contact with the parents and doesn't really provide a warm welcoming face for the environment. Other than that tiny toez is great and the best decision I made for my girl!

The teachers are not only. Professional but also incredibly kind and supportive. My son has improved drastically. A special thank you to his key teacher, whose attention to details never goes unnoticed. We are also grateful for the positive and encouraging environment the staff creates every day. Highly

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The time my daughter has spent at this nursery has been a roller coaster. But excellent at the same time.
They helped me with potty training my daughter which was fantastic. They also helped with learning and her words coming on. There's not much that I could complain about this nursery other than
when my daughter had to have time off due to staff shortage and I know it can't be helped sometimes but they should make sure that there is staff substitutes if staff are off poorly before children are coming into class or or they should notify the day before because some of the time I got notified 10 minutes before the starting time which isn't really ok.
The nursery has helped me with my daughter with senco and support and it is much appreciated.

The best nursery, if I could give more than 5 stars I would, they are truly the best. All the staff are very professional and friendly and they take care of the kids perfectly. I would definitely recommend this nursery and all I can say is they should keep up the good work because they are truly awesome.
My daughter really enjoyed and she developed a lot of courage and self-confidence. The new manager is amazing and all the staff are the same.

My experience with the nursery has been good the staff are friendly and very understanding and supportive and helpful. The nursery staff is very welcoming every morning. The staff at the nursery are really good at helping us understand what helps and clams my little one and the different activities

It's a good nursery school, it helps me a lot with my son, only that there are parts that many parents don't like, that they make a difference between countries, and I didn't like that. Thank you for your understanding.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very apprehensive about sending my children to a nursery or childminder, I found Tiny Toez after an online search and now both my children attend, they both absolutely love it, they come home singing, dancing telling me stories about their day and their friends. The staff are amazing, they are
so kind and have so much patience with the children. My son struggles a bit at dropoff but I always feel at ease as I know the ladies are comforting him, after 5 mins he is fine. I get photos of him playing and enjoying himself through the app. The management is lovely, they always have time for you, no matter how silly you think the questions are. My children have dietary requirements and I feel the nursery went above and beyond to make sure their requirements were met. Both my children have created great bonds with the staff and will be very sad when they leave to go to school. Would 100% recommend this nursery. I can't thank all the staff enough!

I have a 4-year-old that attends this nursery who is leaving this month to go to school and he has absolutely loved it here and settled in so well. The staff have been great with him and he has really enjoyed his time here. I also have a 2-year-old who attends here in the nursery class and he has also
settled in brilliantly and is loving it. I look forward to him progressing here. My 4 year old will miss this preschool very much.

My daughter enjoys attending nursery. She has been well looked after: she has learnt some really good skills. She would go at the weekend if it was open. My daughter's language has really developed since being at nursery. Her confidence in socialising with other children is so good. She is always eager
to tell me what she has done in nursery every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are really friendly and welcoming. When my son started, he only came for the summer term but straight away he bonded with the staff - especially his key worker. He really enjoyed the environment and setting and looked forward to going to nursery. I have never had a complaint from my son about
the staff or nursery. I would like to thank the staff his key worker and two others for helping my son transition and settle well in the nursery. He will be starting school in September and he has already mentioned he will miss the staff. As a parent, it is really nice and comforting to know your child has enjoyed nursery especially due to it being their first time being away from us parents. It can be distressing for both parent and child when separating for the first time and starting nursery. However, myself and my son felt very welcomed and at ease from our first visit to Tiny Toez. Thank you everyone.

My firstborn started at Tiny Toez January 2023. I had never left him with anyone, the girls in preschool reassured me they were very friendly and professional. My son since going has excelled in all areas beyond my expectations. Recently he started potty training. He has done really well with the support
of the girls. I currently have another boy in the baby room who also do a grand job. My daughter I'm happy to get a place for as well. I highly recommend the nursery to all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.776 for Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 255 Ratings = 4.776
  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 Toez @ East Staffordshire is based on 21 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 21 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.
