Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Tiddlywinks for a few months having moved from another nursery that we were unhappy with. She has been made to feel very welcome and the staff have been excellent. She has come on in leaps and bounds and I am only sorry that we didn't choose Tiddlywinks initially. Nothing but
praise for the staff and the facilities. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

My son (3.5 years) loves going to nursery and loves all the different activities and learning.
He especially loves the outdoor space and facilities. The staff are wonderful and always have a smile and hello for us when we arrive to drop him off or pick him up.
They have helped make him confident
and happy in the learning environment.

Having sent my eldest child to Tiddlywinks, I was certain I wanted my youngest daughter to attend as our experience of their staff, setting and level of care was excellent from day one.

Tiddlywinks is a lovely place for my children to go to. They love every minute of being there and have a special bond with their key carers.
I see what they get up to and love watching videos of what they have been up to.
Keep up the good work!

Even if he cries when I leave him there, I know my son is in good hands and I find him happy and wanting to stay more. I strongly recommend Tiddlywinks Day Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery. My son developed really well since he is there and he started to learn English really fast.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Tiddlywinks from the age of 1 onwards, and has gone through the baby room, tweenie room and now is in the preschool room. All of her key carers have been exceptional, very compassionate and understanding, and consequently, she has thrived here. My daughter has developed into
a kind, intelligent little girl and that is largely due to the high standard of care she has received from all of the staff at Hill Lane. A wonderful nursery I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My older daughter who is now 15 years old attended this nursery and after a very positive experience, I also wanted my youngest child to attend Tiddlywinks Hill Lane. She is now 2 years old and has been at this nursery since 8 months old. The staff at the nursery are very professional and caring and
know the children they are looking after very well. My child goes into nursery each happy and confident. I have seen her development come long a long way and I feel content leaving her there each day seeing how happy and comfortable she is. The facilities are great too.

Review from Lauren M (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I sent my 1st daughter to Tiddlywinks 8 years ago and loved the care she received, so when I found I was expecting my 2nd daughter, born in summer 2015, there was no alternative provider I would have considered to provide care to my child when I went back to work in March 2016. My daughter, since starting,
has loved every minute of her time at Tiddlywinks the care she receives is second to none. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting and has developed into a happy, confident and social little girl.

My little girl is always welcomed with a big smile by whoever is opening the door. My little girl is always excited to go to nursery. All the staff at Tiddlywinks are great and a credit to the company.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has developed really well at Tiddlywinks which we put down to the mixture of things including the nursery environment, support of the nursery staff and the structured development plans they put in place. These also help to focus the parents efforts at home. We are very happy that she is
clearly very well cared for despite only attending two days a week.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery offers first-class childcare. My 15-month old loves being at nursery. He's been there full-time since 8 months and he's really come along. It's really reassuring when you have to work, as you can relax knowing he's in professional and caring hands. The staff appear to enjoy their work,
which makes it a happy nurturing environment. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough. A must-visit if you're looking at a few locally.

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.
