Brilliant service, all the staff are great and friendly.
Thank you Tiddlywinks Nursery Higher Blackley.
My daughter loves coming to nursery. I have seen how much she has grown in confidence over the years. She has a great bond with all the teacher and has great friendships. I am very happy and grateful.
Really helpful and understandable, really helped my little girl blossom.
The nursery is brilliant, my son loves it here, He has come along in leaps and bounds. All the staff are polite and friendly, they help with any difficulties and needs for your children.
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!
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!
My child really enjoys her time at nursery the staff are always smiling and happy. They express any concerns when needed and listen to any I have regarding my child. All I can say is for them to keep up the good work.
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.
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.
The staff are always helpful and very professional.
I always feel happy and secure leaving my child in their care because I know they take excellent care of her.
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.
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.
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.
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 have been extremely impressed and satisfied with the fantastic care and education the team at Tiddlywinks gave my daughter who is now 7 and gives my son who is now 3 and a half and has attended Tiddlywinks since he was 11 months old.
The outdoor area is fantastic and he would sleep there if he could.
Thank you for everything you do.
We will be sending the next one, should they have space come the time.
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.
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.
