Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful care and attention my daughter receives at Tiddlywinks Easingwold. The staff are professional, caring, and attentive to each child's needs.
From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm and friendly atmosphere. The facilities are clean, safe,
and well-equipped with educational toys and activities. My daughter especially loves the outdoor play area.
She has shown remarkable progress in her social and cognitive skills since joining Tiddlywinks. She is building strong relationships with both the kids and the staff, and her keyworker has become someone she trusts and loves. The staff's support and dedication are evident in everything they do.
We are so happy to be a part of the Tiddlywinks family and can't wait until our little boy can begin his Tiddlywinks adventure! I highly recommend Tiddlywinks to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching place for their child. Thank you for all that you do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have two little girls here and they both love it.
The staff are brilliant, super friendly and fun but keep the children in check so you know they aren't getting away with murder.
The outside space is utilised so well and the older children spend most of their days out there - eating their meals
out there (weather permitting). I can't rate this nursery highly enough.
The food is excellent and I am often quite envious of what they are getting!
My girls love it and so do we!

I find Tiddlywinks Nursery to be a fantastic choice for my daughter. Their focus on outdoor play and learning has helped her develop leaps and bounds. Conveniently located in the town centre, the nursery provides a warm and nurturing environment. The staff are friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate
about the children's development and well-being. I feel confident leaving my daughter in their care, knowing she is happy, supported, and thriving.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended Tiddlywinks twice a week since September 24. Despite taking a while to settle, the staff could not have done more to reassure us, and support my son through his transition. He now loves nursery, he happily goes with a smile and comes out full of babbling stories of his day. Our
son's smiles and eagerness to go to nursery reassures us as parents the team are doing a great job. The office staff are helpful and great communicators. The girls in the room are friendly, welcoming, and professional, our son clearly loves them all! Our son often comes back with new words or things he's learnt which is lovely. We enjoy hearing about his day and feedback given! He appears to love attending TiddlyWinks, we are completely satisfied with the service and hope his enjoyment here continues as he transitions through the rooms!

Both of my daughters have absolutely flourished and grown in confidence since attending the nursery. All of the staff and key workers are so caring, positive, professional and accommodating, it has been wonderful to have such a great relationship with them all. Not only have they been wonderful with
my girls if ever I needed anything even just a chat they are always so supportive. I am truly grateful to have such a fantastic nursery.

Our children absolutely love attending nursery. They have a great relationship with their key person and are thriving. It really makes us feel relaxed to know they're so well looked after. We get regular updates, including photos, so we know how the children's day is going. Communication with nursery
is so easy, either from updates on the app or via phone. All the staff are so kind and easy to speak with.

Tiddlywinks Easingwold is fantastic! My older daughter has been there for 2 years and my younger daughter is just about to start her Tiddlywinks journey. I can genuinely say my daughter loves going to nursery. As a parent I can see how well supported she is. The staff are amazing and clearly really
care about the children and know them so well! The learning opportunities are well planned to challenge yet support the children to succeed. There are great opportunities from outside providers as well which is an added extra, stretch and grow is a definite favourite! I particularly love that the toddlers and preschool children spend so much time outside. My daughter is always so excited to tell me about her wonderful day on the way home. I can't wait to see the progress my younger daughter makes once she starts regularly too! I can't recommend Tiddlywinks highly enough.

My daughter only started at Tiddlywinks 4 weeks ago, she's only a year old and all the staff have been so supportive. There are the inevitable tears when she gets dropped off, but we are always reassured at how quickly she settles. Receiving regular updates through the day is a great way to put our
minds at ease. We look forward to a long connection with Tiddlywinks moving forward.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl has come on leaps and bounds since she started at Tiddlywinks. She only attends one day a week but we have seen a huge change in her, including how much she now gets involved with other children. The team are all so lovely and it genuinely feels like such a happy and warm environment
to be in. You get updates/pictures on the parent app throughout the day and it's so nice to see all of the different themed activities that they get up to (which must take lots of creative planning behind the scenes!). They enjoy plenty of yummy food and it all fits around your little ones' routine (nap times, bottles etc). If you're in doubt over which nursery to choose, pick Tiddlywinks! You won't regret it.

My daughter is 2 and has been coming to Tiddlywinks since she was 10 months old. She is now in toddlers and the amazing staff have helped her grow so much. They have supported us with her building friendships, her toilet training, sharing, her words and her learning kindness and important values. She
loves coming to nursery 4 days a week and talks about the staff, who have also been so supportive of us as parents. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, we loved the teddy bears picnic and singing carols too around the tree with you all. Thank you for the regular updates, progress reports and how friendly, warm and caring you are with us and our daughter. You really are an amazing team of people and we cannot thank you enough as parents. Even accommodating an extra day when we really needed it and for always being there if we have any questions or need advice. We feel so grateful to have you all helping our daughter grow and shine. Thank you.

I can't say enough nice things about Tiddlywinks, there simply aren't enough words to state how good they are. My daughter has been so happy and felt so cared for there. She is so ready for school because of the excellent work of each staff member. Her love for the outdoors has grown and they have helped
shape her into a curious and sociable little girl.

Both my children have attended this nursery and I can say it's the best nursery you can place your child in. The staff are brilliant and the ladies who look after my youngest are so lovely and attentive with him. He adores them and is always happy to go on his nursery days. My youngest is leaving soon
and I will miss coming to the nursery as they are all so friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tiddlywinks to any parent.

We have had two children go to tiddlywinks, I can honestly say both children and we as parents have loved it. It is a very friendly setting and you feel part of their family and the staff care about your children. The learning opportunities all the staff create are brilliant and well thought out to
help the children achieve well. They provide great opportunities from outside providers as well which is an added extra! We loved the fact that toddlers and the preschool room get to spend so much time outside in a well-thought-out environment. The managers and all staff are very knowledgeable and are so helpful with all elements of the nursery, funding, bills to general parenting advice. My little girl always comes out with a smile on her face and full of chatter about what exciting things they have done that day and that to me says it all!

I have 2 children at Tiddlywinks so have experienced all the rooms and think they do such a brilliant job. All of the staff are lovely and have a nice relationship with the children. I have spoken to different members of staff over the years and they are always so supportive and happy to help. They
made potty training a smooth transition for us. There is a lot of work put into the activities and I am always impressed with the range of things they do over a week. My daughter who is almost 4 can now write her name which is something she has learned to do at nursery. We get an update with photos each day and it's always nice to see my children enjoying themselves and what they have been up to. We get told if they have napped and how they've eaten each day too. It has been challenging juggling work and kids but it is reassuring to have a nursery we trust and knowing that our children are happy and well looked after.

My little one has been going to Tiddlywinks since March 2023 and we cannot rate the nursery high enough! The staff are amazing - they have spent so much time on our child’s development and keeping us informed along the way. Our child has thrived at the nursery - enjoying the activities and outside time.
We are leaving the nursery soon and will be extremely sad to say goodbye but our child has had the best time and we would highly recommend Tiddlywinks to anyone!

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.
