Great for the parents and children to play together. Thank you all. The care towards the children from staff is fantastic.
Lovely atmosphere in the room, every child and parent in the room engaged in different fun activities made my experience of my first stay and play great.
Great nursery, lovely staff.
Super friendly and paitent staff my daughter feel happy around all staff, lots of activities for the children and always lots going on to suit each child, nursery has helped my daughters confidence and speech massively.
Tiddlywinks is very welcoming and my daughter loves attending. The staff make very good relantionships with the children and parents. They hosted a stay and play and everything was great for the children's milestones.
Great nursery! Very helpful kind accommodating take really good care of my son great at communicating his day.
Starting my 2nd child with Tiddlywinks and settling sessions are just the great ways to get started. Tiddlywinks have been amazing with my 1st child and I feel more than happy to put my 2nd child in the care of Tiddlywinks too. Staff are very attentive and they listen any raised concerns and act swiftly if needed. I cannot thank everyone in Tiddlywinks enough for delivering such a brilliant care to my little ones. I always recommend Tiddlywinks to new mums I meet.
My daughter loves the nursery, she wakes up every morning asking if she is in nursery today. The staff are very helpful and make sure the children are safe.
Lovely nursery with caring staff and a warm, welcoming environment. My child is happy, well looked after, and enjoys the activities daily. Highly recommended!
Would recommend
Fantastic nursery. Staff are brilliant. Facilities are brilliant. I used this nursery for my 2 older children back in 2008 & now my 2 youngest go here. Still some of the same staff from all them years ago are still there.
Ayo looks forward to coming in now that shes settled in. She sings more at home now. I feel like shes carried in from nursery. Shes plays out what they do here at home.
My review the kids are well looked after. Room is very tidy. The kids are so settle and happy. I love the fact that we can come and have a play day with the kids so we can all enjoy.
The team are fabulous, they have really helped Olly to settle into nursery. He loves coming into nursery, playing and has even made lots of friends. There are so many activities he can take part in from creative to education games. We love it here!
I cant thank the girls enough Isla has came on leaps and bounds since starting here. Food is great for her she eats all of it. Her speach is getting much better and she is walking. Big thanks to Beth Isla adores her. Thank you team.
A friendly and welcoming environment that I am happy to send my son to every day. He has thrived so much here and he has grown leaps and bounds since starting at 9 months. The meals are very varied and I am surprised to see he finishes his plate every time (something my picky eat doesn't do at home). I cannot wait to see how he will thrive during the rest of his Tiddlywinks journey.
I feel Tommy has come along absolutely wonderful he was a baby when started now he has his personalty which is great with regards to his interaction with others.
The staff are great, always helpful and making sure Luca is happy and satisfied. I would highly recommend Tiddlywinks. I have seen a lot of progress all round with my son and it is very reassuring as I know the staff are working hard ensuring he is learning every day and improving his skills.
A safe and nutere environment for my baby. I would highly recommend Tiddlywinks. From the beginning of my daughter's journey all the staff was very supportive. I have seen a great change in her development and social skills. She is always so happy when I leave her and pick her up. A big thank you to all the staff.
We really appreciate this daycare, Caleb's gained so much confidence since joining the nursery baby room. He absolutely loves it. He's learnt so much and sings all the songs he's learnt at school.
