Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Tiddlywinks Hill Lane is a brilliant nursery, my daughter's development has come along so much with the help of the staff. All the staff are very welcoming, professional and very hard working, I couldn’t thank the nursery enough for making my daughter happy to go to school every day.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

My son has been attending for nearly two years and I cannot praise the nursery enough.
The standard of care is outstanding and my son loves going to the nursery which is a weight off my mind when having to leave him to go to work. The staff are fantastic and have helped us to develop my sons learning,
he has a great relationship with his key carer, who goes above and beyond with the children. I have confidently recommended the nursery to a number of friends. Thank you for all that you do, you're doing a great job.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.883) 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.883 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley is calculated as follows: ( (447 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 478 Ratings = 4.883
  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 39 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 39 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.
