Review from Lauren J (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter went to Tiddlywinks a few years ago and learnt grown and blossomed here. I would always recommend to anyone looking for a nursery and I have now returned with my new baby! He has settled in so well and so quickly considering how anxious he has always been as a child. Can't thank the staff enough!

Review from Elizabeth H (Mother of Child) published on 24 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started Tiddlywinks Nursery in April 2024. Since starting the nursery he has come on so much with his development and most definitely with his speech and language. The staff at the nursery have always been so polite and professional and are always available for any support when needed. Me, my family and especially my child have always been made to feel so welcome by all staff. His journal is always updated so while I'm at work I can see how he is being at nursery which I really enjoy. I couldn't thank the staff enough for all their hard work and dedication to the children and families. I'm just so glad I did pick Tiddlywinks as my son's nursery I couldn't have picked a better nursery. Thank you all for everything you do.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery, my nephew has been coming here since November 2023 when he started settling. He has always been treated with the utmost care and support from all staff in the nursery. Whenever I have been in the nursery it has been a lovely homely environment where the staff have great bonds with the children and the parents, the professionalism of the staff is bang on but they also know how to make you feel comfortable and cheer you up when leaving your child in their care. Whilst my nephew has been in Tiddlywinks care he has come on leaps and bounds in every aspect he has come out of his shell and is a lot more confident and independent, he also has progressed lots in his communication and understanding. All in all, I cannot fault the experience I have had with Tiddlywinks the pure comfort and trust I have when I do drop him off at nursery makes the world of difference and knowing my nephew treats it as a second home is heartwarming. Perfect place for him!

My daughter has been attending Tiddlywinks since she was one and is now 3. She's gone through the baby room, Tweenies and now in preschool. She's always loved going to nursery and had great relationships and bonds with staff. I have always felt happy with her being here - everyone is lovely and keeps you up to date always.

Review from Jolene M (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is my first child and first experience with a nursery. When my child started I was very very anxious, the manager and the ladies in the baby room have been so supportive every step of the way, they keep me updated during the day letting me know how my child is doing even with photos at times.
It's so amazing to see my child's key worker and my child have such a special bond in such a short space of time. The progress in every aspect is so obvious to see.

I can't thank everyone enough for giving us such a positive experience and I look forward to seeing my child come on even more leaps and bounds.

Overall Experience

Our oldest child went to the Crumpsall branch first so when we had our second child we knew which nursery brand to send our child. We sent our second to Blackley. The team that supports our child cares for him. Helpful and approachable about any concerns. We would recommend this nursery every time!

Review from Katy P (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son had 2 serious accidents at the nursery requiring A&E attention, one of which could have been avoided. Risk assessments were not followed, communication with staff during the time was poor, notes on the app did not align with discussion and I had to ask for it to be changed before signing the accident report.
I have real concerns over the stairs the nursery uses to exit the children from the preschool room. (Fire exit)
I have spoken with other parents and found that another child had been injured on them.
The nursery agreed to send out information to the parents and ask how they feel about the children using this means of exit but nothing has been sent out. I worry that other children may be hurt continuing to use these stairs.

Standards have slipped since my son started at that nursery, and app updates are sparse. There has been a huge staff turnaround and regularly my son leaves with missing clothes and sore bum from lack of attention to toilet care.

Reply from Amanda Nash, Curriculum Strategic Lead at Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley

Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback as we strive to be the best that we can be. We understand the importance of providing exceptional care and support for each child in our care and we are sorry that you feel that we have fallen short of our usual high standards and expectations....

My daughter is thriving at nursery, every day she comes home she has learnt something new. The staff are very friendly and professional. She is so excited since starting pre-school and she’s forever telling me how she has the best day up the stairs.

Reply from Claire Lyons, Deputy Nursery Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so glad that she loves coming to nursery and coming to learn with her friends. She is an absolute pleasure to have in the nursery and she has come on so much over the last few months.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery, the staff always go above and beyond. My toddler has Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and this nursery has brought him on so much. The nursery is always clean and has so much equipment for the children to enjoy and improve on their development. The staff are very patient, caring and kind which the children do feel making it such a happy place, especially for my child who loves it there.

It’s a brilliant place for anyone to take their child/children. I would highly recommend the nursery to anybody who is anxious about leaving their child. The staff go above and beyond and the new manager is always more than happy to help in a timely manner. I have nothing bad to say about the nursery. My son has attended since he was 9 months old and has just become a preschooler.

Cannot fault the professionalism and friendliness of the whole team at the nursery. From day one we have seen the confidence and growth of our child. His learning skills and abilities are definitely more advanced than they would be without their guidance.

Overall Experience

I couldn’t be any happier with the care and support my son receives at nursery. I have noticed such positive changes in him, he is much more confident and is thriving. I love the constant updates and the photos to see how he is doing throughout the day. I will definitely be telling family and friends looking for a nursery in the near future.

Review from M H (Mother of Child) published on 21 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A few occasions I had to go into nursery due to the lack of care for my child including not having her nappy changed enough to the point she kept getting sore. On one occasion I was standing outside the building waiting to pick my child up and I heard a member of staff screaming at my child which was followed by her crying hysterically she was only 2 years old at the time (action was apparently taken but it should not have happened in the first place as it’s supposed to be a professional environment not every child responds well to shouting) there were a few more things that added up to not be the best experience it could have been. Having said that the manager of the nursery at the time was very understanding and any problem I had she did take on board and the issues were dealt with. Some positives did come out of the experience my daughter created some lovely bonds with certain members of staff and children.
