Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely amazing nursery, all the staff are lovely and you can tell they actually care about the children. My little boy has been with them nearly a year and he loves going, he's always happy to go on a morning which makes me feel like I made the right choice with this nursery. They always do different
activities to keep the children interested and have lots of time outdoors either in the garden or on a walk locally. They always offer different foods so the children get lots of variety. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents. Thank you tots n tykes team for doing an amazing job!
Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Thrive PudseyThank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience.

The team at my son's nursery are fantastic, from his first settling in days to now - almost a year in. They know him so well, he looks forward to going to see his friends and nursery is a joy rather than something scary.
My little one has come on so much during his time here and the team do their best
and cater to his individual needs and regularly discuss new ways to develop him further.


The manager and the rest of the team are an asset to thrive. Thank you so so much for all the work you do and the genuine care you show to my son. It is truly appreciated.

We have always had such a great experience with all the nursery workers at Thrive. The staff have always been really kind and attentive, especially when our son has had health issues and testing boundaries and all the various phases. They have been incredible with supporting to ensure we're all on the
same page.

My son has been very happy at Thrive Pudsey and really enjoys the variety of activities they offer, in particular the trips into the local community. He has built a very strong relationship with his key worker and has developed friendships with the other children. He feels safe and happy at nursery
and is always smiling and desperate to tell me about his day when I pick him up.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My girl has been going to Tots n Tykes since she was 9 months old.
The facility and the staff have become like a second family to us all built in trust and compassion for the tiniest of minds.
I'd fully recommend the team to any future parents. Despite having some changes recently within the background,
my girl has done nothing but thrive with the girls who work there. She's hitting every milestone and can't wait to tell us about her day when she gets some. She considers the girl's friends to herself and has made lovely friends there. I enjoy seeing the staff greet my girl with such love every day and she's developing into such a lovely young thing from her time at Tots n Tykes. Always approachable and contactable with any concerns. Thanks again.

We love this nursery, both our children are currently attending, staff are welcoming, experienced, knowledgeable and easy to speak to. They are very good at communicating about the nursery as well as about your children during the day if needed. Our children love it there and look forward to attending
every week and they've thrived since attending.

Fantastic nursery run by an amazing team. My daughter attended this nursery and now my son does and they both achieved so much in the time they were there. Tried other nurseries but Tots n Tykes Nursery is the best by far. Great communication and genuinely care about each child and their needs.

My daughter loves Tots n Tykes! She's been attending since starting in the baby room in April 2023 and is now just moving in to toddlers. All the staff are amazing, they do a huge range of activities, and all the food is freshly cooked and healthy. Everyone is lovely and she loves going every day, we're
very happy there.

Fantastic nursery. All the staff show the most professional care to all the children. My grandson has been at the nursery for over a year and we have watched him grow into an independent child with very good manners! We love the fact that he explores and investigates at the nursery and spends so much
time outside. We are delighted with the nursery and the communication with staff. First-class nursery.

Our children love it here. The staff are lovely and we know our little ones are being really well cared for. The nursery has a really cosy and safe feel and the different areas for the different ages are really well equipped for learning and play. We get regular updates and photos about our children
throughout the week which we really love as well as updates on how they are developing. I'm so glad we found this nursery, I can't imagine anywhere better.

Review from C S (Mother of Child) published on 27 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Tots n Tykes back in April 2023 in the baby room. The team (particularly the room leader) did a fantastic job of getting him settled into nursery. He quickly built a strong bond with his keyworker and has been loving nursery. The team also handled his transition to the toddler room
really well. There are always loads of creative activities being run, with a lot of them being led by the children's interests, stages of development and current seasons/holidays e.g. Halloween. They get loads of time playing outdoors which my son loves. The food is cooked on-site and is quite varied. Overall really happy with Tots n Tykes and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great nursery who really cares for your child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest went to Tots n Tykes before starting Primary School and now my youngest attends the setting. I love that the nursery is small and homely, all the staff are really welcoming. My daughter has no problems with going on a morning and whenever I ask “Where are you going today?” she always says
“Nursery mummy”, even when it’s not a nursery day!


The communications from the office are frequent, informative and clear.


My daughter's vocabulary has come on massively and I think a lot of that is down to the nursery setting.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.297)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.297) out of 10 for Thrive Pudsey is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.952 for Thrive Pudsey is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.952
  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 4.345 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thrive Pudsey is based on 7 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.6
    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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.745
  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.
