I believe Tots n Tykes is a nurturing, inspiring and fun place for children to go to.

We can't recommend it highly enough.

My son has been attending Tots n Tykes for a couple of years now. During that time the nursery has played a significant part in his development and confidence. I find all of the staff to be friendly and caring, whilst also ensuring that discipline is maintained.

We chose the Tots n Tykes after a meeting with the Nursery Manager, who talked passionately about recognising the children's development and educational needs before moving on to the fun stuff.

The staff at Tots n Tykes always have the parents in mind too. It's lovely when he comes home with a cards or hand made presents on special occasions.

Sometimes it's the little things that matter. He has been taught some basic sign language by the nursery practitioners and this impresses everyone that he uses it on!

All in all, we are extremely satisfied with the staff and facilities at Tots n Tykes....we made a great choice.

There are also water confidence lessons on offer as well as forestry school. The main selling point for me is the staff right from top to bottom they are first class. They really do care about your children and their development. My kids have formed really strong bonds with their key workers and we will all be very sad when they move on to school. I have noticed a very positive development from my children since attending tots n tykes and I am really glad we decided to chose Tots n tykes.

Both of my children have attended Tots N Tykes over the last 6 years (both starting in baby room around 9/10 months old and moving through into pre-school until 3/4 yrs old). I can honestly say that from their first visit day until their last day both of my children have been settled, happy and extremely well cared for. I feel that the 'family/home from home' atmosphere that is evident from the moment you step foot through the door has most definitely contributed to this. Every single member of staff is competent and shows a genuine interest of the children in their care. Attention to detail and the personal touch are both things the nursery should be proud of, from the food served to communication with parents, displays around the nursery to activities planned and so much more. Knowing my children have been left in such a caring, safe, stimulating environment has greatly reduced the anxiety associated with the daunting task of returning to work.

The transition period when first starting was excellent and both my children settled very quickly and this continues when they have moved to a different room and age group. The children have a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities available from the baby room, through to the toddler room and pre-school. I feel the nursery has always supported early learning while still encouraging play and creativity, encouraging them to be children!

My son has attended Tots n Tykes for two years, starting in the toddlers room and progressing to preschool. He has been very happy there, particularly in his last year in preschool where he has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff have without exception been fantastic - nurturing and attentive - and the nursery goes above and beyond in their provision of interesting activities for the children, including inviting parents in for special occasions like mother's day tea and father's day breakfast. Learning is embedded in everything they do (particularly in preschool) but in an engaging way that is led by the children's interests. Having access to external activities like swimming lessons and forest school has been a bonus too. I am really happy I chose Tots n Tykes and would recommend it to anyone.

Both of my children currently attend Tots 'n' Tykes and both really enjoy their time at nursery. My daughter has had lots of allergies which the nursery has helped manage. There is both inside activity areas as well as access to the gardens, one for the little tots and one for the preschool children. The activities in nursery are varied, stimulating and educational including build projects (in the Pre School room) such as building a house out of egg boxes. There are lots of external activities making use of the local park, library, schools and leisure centre. I cannot recommend this nursery enough both of my children are confident and happy and have made lots of friends within the nursery.

I have now had two children through Tots N Tykes since 2010. I originally heard good things about the nursery from local childminders compared to other local providers. I went to visit and fell in love with how homely it felt and after visiting many nurseries it seemed to be the only one where the staff seemed happy and engaged with the kids. I thinks it's important for children to feel at home when you have to go to work. Even though they are small I love the outdoor areas and the fact they can play outside all day if they want to. The staff seemed to be encouraged to form bonds with the children, which I think is excellent as young children need this. I sometimes take my daughter back to pick up my son and all the staff seem excited to see her and she was only there one day a week.

I also really love how flexible and accommodating they are to changing family situations and work schedules. They always seem like they are trying to help!

I feel very happy with the care and the level of provision provided for the my child at Tots n Tykes. The staff know him very well and always give me great feedback about his day.

The staff are knowledgeable and have an excellent manner with the children. I particularly like the way they foster good routines and habits and encourage independence.

I would happily recommend the nursery to friends and family.

My son has been going to Tots n Tykes Nursery 3 and a half years. My wife and I have been happy with the progress in learning since he has been at the nursery. The baby and toddlers room have friendly, caring staff and the outdoor space has recently updated for children to spend more time outside with staff. My son is one of the eldest children at the nursery at the moment. His key workers has been with him for most of the time he has been there. We have noticed a massive change in his development through spending 3 days a week with Tots n Tykes Nursery.

All our children have loved their time at nursery and would highly recommend to others.
