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.

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.
Thank you for your comments, the issues were addressed at the time by the manager.
Tiddlywinks Nursery is a fantastic setting. We have used this nursery for both of our girls. The staff have really helped them bloom from babies into the little people they are becoming. We would recommend this nursery.

Had a brilliant experience. Sat down and asked questions and they were answered in the correct way. My daughter loves the nursery and loves the staff in the room. The deputy manager answered all the questions. She loved her cake as well.

Since our beautiful grandson has been with Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley, he has learned to be social and his language and learning have excelled. He is developing into a wonderful, chirpy, intelligent and loving little boy...who is always a joy to be around and share everyday little moments.

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.
