I can’t recommend Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley enough! Our son has been going there since he was 6/7 months old and he loves it. We never have issues with him going in as he loves it so much and you can tell that all of the staff really care about the children. 5 out of 5 stars from me!

I have 2 boys full-time at Tiddlywinks Blackley and they have a great time every day, the staff are fun and friendly and very professional. The boys have never refused to go which is always a good sign and enjoy all the activities set out to keep them entertained through learning. I've also attended
the stay-and-play sessions where I was able to join in some of the fun activities. My wife and I are very busy and work full time so it's great to see updates come through on the app showing what adventures they are getting up to, many times I've laughed out loud at some of the comments and pictures. Amazing to see they have another outstanding Ofsted report, one of the reasons we chose this nursery and great to see that they are keeping those high standards. Credit to the team, the boys will miss you when they move up to primary school.

My daughter after a long 2 years of chemotherapy, now is able to learn and play with other kids and we feel safe sending her to this nursery. She is more active now and she loves to play with other kids. The teachers are so caring about my daughter, thanks for everything.

Friendly staff and helpful with anything that's asked; regular updates on my son's developments and wellbeing in his setting which is a massive relaxer for us as parents. My little boy has a great relationship with all the staff that work there as they are caring and attentive to his needs, he loves
being there and enjoys his days in nursery.

My daughter is our second child to go to Tiddlywinks Day Nursery and we couldn't recommend the care here highly enough. Since day one, both kids have thrived in the wonderful environment here. The staff are second to none and our kids have loved every second.

It is really lovely to hear how my son is doing at nursery, we have seen a big difference in his confidence and his knowledge of different things since he has started at Tiddlywinks. He has settled really well and seems really happy when we pick him up. He talks about his key workers and seems to have
formed a good bond with them. It is really good to hear he is reaching his target and developing well in all areas.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.866 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley is calculated as follows: ( (480 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 524 Ratings = 4.866
  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 Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley is based on 43 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 43 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.
