Review from Kirstie T (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The manager has come in and helped me with arranging my child care so supportively, this with both my children, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! My son's key person helped him settle so quickly, it was a worry for me in how he was going to settle as he had spent 2 years almost joint to my hip! They have built such a bond it makes me feel relaxed! My daughter loves after school club, so much so that she was disappointed when I picked her up 'early' as she was one of the first to go home!

Overall Experience

Tiddlywinks Higher Blackley provides an excellent environment for my child. She is excited to go to the nursery each day and tells me all about the amazing activities she has taken part in each day. The staff give so many varied learning opportunities through play for children to enjoy. The staff really are amazing and care about each child. They are a part of our family, and I don't want my child to leave. I would never choose another nursery!

Overall Experience

My children started the tweenie room in Sept, at first, they were apprehensive and did not settle right away. Since returning in November they come into the room willingly. The ladies and their keyworkers have taken their time to make them feel at ease and safe in their environment. I have also noticed in a short space of time, that they have both come on in their development which is really positive.

Overall Experience

Friendly, caring staff and a wonderful environment for my child to learn. Amazing opportunities to explore, create, learn a new language. My child loves nursery, especially the activities he can do outside. Climbing, digging, painting alongside fun ways to learn letters, numbers. Loads of opportunities to mark make. Best decision I made to send both my children to this brilliant nursery.

Overall Experience

My son who is now three has attended this nursery since he was ten months old. He was very nervous at first and the staff built the relationship and he now is confident and loves attending. It is like a family at the nursery and the staff always listen to any concerns without quibble. My son has food allergies and they go out of their way to cater for his needs. He is progressing at a fast rate and even learning Spanish. The nursery and staff are brilliant and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience
My daughter loves being a part of Tiddlywinks! The staff are so kind, caring and look after each of the children like they are family. It is their family approach which means I trust the care and support they offer my daughter wholeheartedly.

My daughter was born premature and I can say with confidence that the staff and the variety of activities they offer along with the kind, caring approach have resulted in her making beyond expected progress, despite her being just 19 months she is already catching the others up. I'm so thankful for the hard work of all of the staff.

Overall Experience

Tiddlywinks Day Nursery is always very welcoming to parents and children. The staff are kind and very positive and enthusiastic. They are knowledgeable and offer guidance on any queries we may have. The activities are things that the children never do at home. They are so creative and it is delightful to see photos of our son doing all of the different activities. He loves his key carer and all of the staff.

Review from Jamie W B (Father of Child) published on 4 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our adopted son has been at this nursery since August 2018. In foster care, he was only used to interacting with children several years older than himself. Since moving in with us he had one child within the family around his own age to play with. This was difficult for him.

Since going to Tiddlywinks, he has become very social and confident with other children his own age. His development has rocketed and his general learning has been so evident at home. He loves this nursery and the staff. He often talks about the staff and his friends by name at home. For an adopted child, whose first year and a half in life were not so safe and secure, he has very quickly become a secure child. Naturally, that is a mix of home life and nursery life but he wouldn't be at this happy point in his life without Tiddlywinks. We are aware of other prospective adoptive parents in the area and have highly recommended this nursery due to their experience of looking after children. The best nursery in the area. Thanks.

I am very happy with my son's overall care and cannot fault it. My son has come on leaps and bounds and I know it's because of the great staff, resources and facilities they have.
The outdoor area is fantastic and he would sleep there if he could.

Thank you for everything you do.

Overall Experience
Two of my children attend Tiddlywinks Day Nursery in Higher Blackley.
I have never felt so comfortable with leaving my children with someone besides family. The staff make me feel so relaxed and I have never had one single worry about the nursery or any of the staff in it.
Both boys attending nursery are always so excited to come in and never want to leave.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

Review from Fiona T (Mother of Child) published on 8 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We have all had a really positive experience at this nursery, from my daughter's perspective and my husband and I.
The staff are fantastic, welcoming, friendly, informative and caring. We love checking the parent zone website to see updates and photos of everything our daughter is up to.
Our daughter has definitely shown improvements in her learning, mobility and speech, which we think are directly linked to her attendance at the nursery.
The nursery provides a wide range of activities, themes and education. Alongside this, there is plenty of play. Our daughter has been so happy here and loves the staff and other children too.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

I am happy with the care and learning my son has had, he was such a quiet shy child before he started Tiddlywinks. He is now so confident and his speech has improved amazingly, he can now also count and spell the first 2 letters of his name.

Amazing staff, really happy, thank you.

Our daughter's confidence has soared since she's been here. Each and every member of staff is as lovely and caring as the last and she comes home exhausted but happy every day.

Overall Experience
My son has been at Tiddlywinks since August 2013. My son has come on amazingly, the staff are a pleasure and have looked after him really well. They are always lovely, polite and caring towards my son. With lots of different approaches, they have offered lots of help with my son out school too - behaviour techniques etc...

I will be really sad when he leaves to go to school.

The staff at the nursery are very welcoming and treat children in a professional and lovely manner. I feel confident leaving my children (2) with the nursery because I know they will be looked after just like they are at home, of course, while learning new stuff.

Both my children have attended here and I would highly recommend this nursery. I felt they were safe and secure and they both really enjoyed the experience. I had a good relationship with all the staff and I was well informed of my children's development, what they had eaten and nappy changes.
