About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My dayghter has been attending this nursery since January and i couldn't be happier. The staff are caring, supportive, and create a safe environment for children to learn and grow. We've seen great progress in her confidence, social skills, and communication. We're very grateful for the wonderful care she receives every day, her smile says it all
It means a lot to hear that she enjoys her time with us and that you feel supported as part of the Tiddlywinks family.
My son has been at this nursery since he was 10 months old, he loves it and all the staff made him feel so settled when he first started and he has come on so much since being there, all the staff are great and he enjoys all the different activities they do each week

I love the small community feel of tiddlywinks and thanks to Claire who made a big effort to get to know my son well and he has a lovely attachment to her. I have to praise the staff who always have a positive and friendly attitude which I appreciate. Thanks a lot! Arifa :)
Thank you so much, Arifa. We're absolutely delighted to hear how well your son is progressing. Claire and the team will be so touched by your kind words. We're so happy to have you and your family as part of the Tiddlywinks family
Always friendly and happy staff. Key carers give many updates on how my son is doing each day. My son is non verbal so does require some extra attention to which he receives more than adequately. General manager Greg is also very good and has helped is with giving advice on daily routines.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our child has received at Tiddlywinks at Hill lane. From day one, the staff have created a warm, nurturing environment where he feels safe, happy, and excited to learn. We've seen such beautiful progress in his confidence, communication, and social skills he's truly thriving. The activities are creative, engaging, and perfectly suited to his development. It's clear how much thought and love goes into everything they do.
A very special thank you to his wonderful key worker, Claire, whose patience, warmth, and encouragement have made such a positive impact on his journey. She truly sees him, supports him, and brings out the best in him every day. We're so grateful to have found a nursery that feels like a second home for our little one.
Thank you, Rawasi, for your lovely words. We're so pleased to hear how well your little one is thriving and that you feel part of our Tiddlywinks Family. Claire and the team will be delighted to know their care and support have made such a positive impact. We truly appreciate your feedback!

Tiddlywinks Hill Lane is the best nursery i have ever used. My youngest child went there for 3 years and now my granddaughter is attending. The members of staff are all great. They are very understanding and supportive and take great care of the children. Great communication as well. All educational, developmental and nutritional needs of the children are being met at high levels. I could not recommend them enough. Do not hesitate to take your little one there.

The nursery is overall an amazing nursery and I do believe all staff care for the children especially Greg the nursery manager, he takes a key role in each child's journey and this is what makes the nursery stand out a nursery manager who cares! My child's key worker Ellie is amazing with my child and is very approachable and has a kind and friendly nature and i can not thank her enough for her continuous support with my child. My child enjoys spending time with Ellie and she supports my child's development and takes interest in his home observations too, the nursery has had a renovation and is looking amazing, the outdoor area offers different opportunities to the children. I love seeing the different activities that go on in my child's room and the different opportunities they get to engage in new and exciting activities. I moved my child here from another nursery setting which I was nervous about but honestly the transition has been amazing, would 100% recommend to all parents!
Thank you so much, Tasha, for your wonderful feedback and kind personal comments - they truly mean a lot. It's fantastic to hear how well your child has settled in and how much you value the care and support from Ellie and the team. We're so pleased that the transition has been smooth and that...

I can't rate Tiddlywinks Blackley (Hill Lane) enough. What really makes it a truely special nursery are the staff: The nursery manager is super efficient, fast to respond to queries and most importantly engages with the children himself - I often see him helping out, creating new activities and you can tell he understands the needs of each child very well. Our son's key carer, who also leads the baby room, is absolutely outstanding. She has a naturally bubbly and joyful personality that instantly puts myself and my little boy at ease. Her high energy, consistent positivity, and nurturing approach helped our little boy settle in far quicker than we ever imagined. Beyond that, she knows him so well and recognises the subtle changes in his behaviour and development and responds in such a thoughtful and professional way. In summary, this nursery put the children's needs first and will bend over backwards to ensure they are happy, healthy and thriving there. They truly care. Thank you all!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It's wonderful to hear how happy and settled your little boy is, and your words about myself as manager mean a great deal. We're so proud of our amazing team and the care they give every day. We truly love having you as part of our Tiddlywinks family.
I couldn't recommend Tiddlywinks nursery enough. The continued support and the progress and development of my son has been amazing. Great nursery and fantastic staff who are well trained. I would certainly recommend to any parent to send their child to Tiddlywinks.

My little girl has loved being at Tiddlywinks since she was 1 and is coming up to age 4 now. Everyone is brilliant with her and you can tell a lot of time and effort goes into planning the curriculum.

Tiddlywinks is hands down the best nursery! My daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old, and the care she receives is amazing. The staff always keep me updated on what she's been doing, and they put so much effort into planning activities that are not only fun but also support her development.
Now that she's 2, I've really noticed the difference. I was initially worried about her speech, but since joining, her communication has improved so quickly - it's incredible to see how much progress she's made.
Today, I logged onto the app and saw the cutest pictures of her with her hair all plaited - she looked adorable! It's the little things like this that show just how much they genuinely care. The love and attention they give is second to none, and I always feel reassured knowing she's in such a warm and supportive environment. I couldn't recommend them more.
