Fantastic nursery, so much effort is put into help the children learn and thirve in the environment. The provide lots of activities for them to complete, including external companies to provide extra learn opportunities.
All the staff are exceptional and caring. My son has the best time and always
comes out happy.

Review from D Y (Father of Child) published on 15 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter and son attend Tiddlywinks, pre-school and baby room respectively. They both really enjoy themselves as our daughter will tell us about the things she's done, learned and played and our son is excited as soon as we approach the door. Once a fortnight our daughter is introduced to interesting
topics through Science Tots, and will always tell us about it when she gets home, which in turn leads to discussion and more learning with me and her mum. Our son is clearly challenged to learn new skills, as his gross and fine motor skills are constantly improving as are his social skills. They both completely trust the staff, which can only be a reflection of the care and attention they receive when there. We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Tiddlywinks.

My child has been at Tiddlywinks for over two years now. He started in the baby room and had a fantastic experience there. He came on leaps and bounds! He successfully transferred into the toddler room and then preschool and has continued to thrive. The activities are varied and engaging and he plays
and eats really well there. The care the staff take with him is unmatched and he is always so excited to see them each morning. The staff and management are caring, attentive and keep me very well informed. The management team have also been incredibly supportive with sorting out funded hours in the last few weeks which has been a big help to me. My other son will be starting in April of this year and we could not be more excited to see him grow in a supportive environment in the same way his brother has!

Tiddlywinks Easingwold is a happy and safe environment which has encouraged my child to thrive.
Each morning, we are welcomed by happy and friendly faces, who know both us as parents and our child well.
They provide high-quality, engaging learning opportunities throughout every day, in order to help
all of their children achieve.
Their outdoor ethos to learning is perfect, as it encourages the children to be active, curious and carefree, whilst having fun in the great outdoors.
They share our child's learning and progress with us and always keep parents informed with changes, updates and key information.
A wonderful nursery that have been nothing but helpful and supportive throughout my child's time there.

Love the stay and play sessions and organised activities they have for us parents to do with the children. The latest "Easter show" saw us meeting real ducklings that the little ones had been caring for as well as hearing songs they had been learning, opinions of the pre-schoolers and we were provided
with information on how to help get our child ready for school. They really think of everything!

Amazing nursery! My son has been with Tiddlywinks Easingwold since 2023 and goes there every day of the week. He's learnt so much there! I cannot recommend Tiddlywinks enough. They treat children with love and I feel so at ease knowing he's thriving! Food is great and nutritious . Cooked daily in the
setting! The activities they do are different every day and week, I don't even know how they do it, but is amazing! We get daily reports on progress and it feels the best decision having chosen them as nursery. Thank you!

My son has attended Tiddlywinks for 2 years and has loved every second. I feel the staff truly care about him and enjoy having him around. The activities they do with the kids are lovely and we love that he's outside a lot. I'm so grateful to be able to send my son there.

Absolutely excellent nursery! It's always a worry leaving your child with someone else but I have every confidence in the team at Tiddlywinks and don't worry one bit when my daughter is there! She always comes home with lots to say about her day and you can tell she's had a great day. The team are very
responsive to your child's needs and are very welcoming at drop off. Each time you pick up there's a debrief of the day and you can really tell each child is cared for and loved individually. They are always willing to give advice and are there if parents have any questions. As and when I have another I will be booking my place the minute I see them 2 lines haha!

The staff were amazing helping our little girl settle into nursery and it took quite a lot of time and patience. The staff make sure we as parents feel comfortable to contact the nursery at anytime , they make sure they follow our routine as best they can and support not only our daughter in her learning/play
but us as well. The vast amount of activities they have available are well thought out and age appropriate. A fabulous nursery with fantastic staff.

Our son absolutely loves attending Tiddlywinks, Easingwold. The provision is fantastic and a wide range of activities are provided to support the children's development. Our son has made great progress here. We are always impressed with the extra activities that the nursery provides such as 'Stretch
and grow' sessions, carols around the Christmas tree, photo shoots, stay and play picnics and even bringing in duck eggs to hatch!
The nursery communicates with us regularly through email and the online learning platform. We are regularly updated on our son's progress.
The staff are all friendly, supportive and approachable. Our son has SEND and the staff have a lovely relationship with him. They have been trained on meeting his health needs, have all familiarised themselves with his condition and gone above and beyond to support him to reach his potential. We cannot thank them enough.
We are delighted that we chose this setting for our son and would highly recommend it.

Our little boy has been attending Tiddlywinks since he was 9 months. He is 2 and a half now and moved into the toddler room around 6 months ago. He loved the baby room and equally loves the toddler room. The girls are so so good and it's clear that the bond between the girls and the children is completely
mutual. My little boy talks very fondly about the girls and his friends at nursery which is always so lovely to hear. I also personally love the emphasis the nursery has on playing and learning outdoors. I would absolutely recommend Tiddlywinks to anyone looking for a nursery!

Both my boys have thrived at Tiddlywinks. They have enjoyed the child-led play, forest school and outdoor area a lot! Their speech and social understanding has developed considerably whilst here. My youngest son has thrived with his number and colour recognition in particular. There is a good balance
between free play and structured activities. The staff are friendly and keep you up to date all the time. The boys are always well fed, clean and happy after a day there!

Our children have forged trusting and meaningful relationships with their key persons and other staff directly working with them. They enjoy going to their respective groups and look forward to seeing their friends. The staff are warm and kind but also very professional. Our children know they can come
to them when they need comfort or help. Adults lead the children in building their skills in all areas, but we find most important the hard work that is put into supporting such young children to grow their social skills and emotional intelligence. Our eldest happily chats to us about all the new things they've learnt and all the fun activities they've done during the day.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Easingwold 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 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.951 for Tiddlywinks Easingwold is calculated as follows: ( (604 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 635 Ratings = 4.951
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiddlywinks Easingwold is based on 53 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 53 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
