Tummyticklers Childcare Service

When we started our search for a child care provider in 2024, we were nervous due to our son's neurodivergent needs. We had looked around a few in the area and though we could not fault their provisions, none felt like 'home'. Tummy Ticklers has provided an exceptional service for our son for the past 2 years he has attended and has become his second home when we are at work.

Every member of staff is caring and compassionate and treats every child like they are their own. Our son loves attending the nursery and loves every member of staff in the building. Even his school comment on how caring and amazing the staff are with him when they collect him now for after school care. They go above and beyond to provide memorable experiences for the children no matter their age.

I cannot recommend Tummy Ticklers enough for the services they provide. More importantly we also cannot thank them enough for the love and care they provide for our son

My daughter joined Tummy ticklers when she was 10 months old in 2018 and is still going after school to this day. Shes made some lovey friends and the staff are fantastic with communication and create a bond with the children. I would recommend to anyone.

Since my child has attended, he has thrived beyond what we expected. The staff clearly care about my son and even staff who didn't work alongside him made a point of learning his name. The staff's knowledge of child development is excellent, their patience and kindness to all children is apparent and the nursery as whole just goes above and beyond. Their learning is catered to all children's needs and is always inventive and exciting. I also love how much they do for the community. We as a family, couldn't have asked for better care for our child. I would encourage anyone in the area to send their child here.

One thing Tummyticklers has always done is gone above and beyond for both my children over the years and even more recently with unfortunate circumstances within our family. All the staff are fantastic and create with both my children. I cannot recommend them enough.

My son has been going to Tummyticklers since he was 17 months old and it has been the best decision we have made! My son is now 3 years old and 4 in August and the support we have received has been unbelievable. My son is autistic and currently has a 1:1 in place and he has come so far in such a short space of time! There are not enough thank yous to express how grateful I am for the team at Tummyticklers, especially management, deputy management and the staff who care for my son every day. Tummyticklers is a place we will never forget. Thank you!

My 3-year-old autistic nonverbal grandson goes to Tummyticklers Nursery. Well, what can I say? My grandson has achieved so much since going there, he has a 1:1 nursery staff (and she is fantastic) only because the manager fought hard for him to get this extra support he so desperately needed. He learns something new every day. He uses the potty, and eats with a fork or spoon just to give two examples, I know it doesn’t sound much to a mam of a 3-year-old non-autistic child but to us, it means the world. We could have never gotten as far with his development without all the staff at Tummyticklers. The person-centered care provided by this nursery is outstanding. A massive thank you to all of you.

My child absolutely adores coming to nursery. The staff are brilliant and meet his needs. The crafts he brings home are gorgeous. They even listen to me when I need help.

Tummyticklers are an amazing nursery. They don’t just care for the child, the whole family feels cared for. Nothing is ever too much trouble and every member of staff seems to enjoy their day. I always recommend them.

Absolutely amazing experience so far at Tummyticklers. My 13-month-old adores attending. I get regular updates and he's always coming home with crafts. His development has excelled significantly since starting. His keyworker is fantastic and really took the time to know him and us. I feel he is safe and secure at Tummyticklers and I know any issues, injuries, illnesses etc. Will be reported effectively. It is a huge relief as a mother going back to work that he is happy and safe and Tummyticklers have provided this.

I would definitely recommend Tummyticklers.

Boys have been going to Tummyticklers for over a year and the girls are like family. Boys love Friday afternoons.

Fantastic place, my 6-year-old loves it.

Since 2018 my son has attended Tummyticklers Childcare Service. They have been fantastic for him, he has cerebral palsy and they have always gone above and beyond for his needs. They treat him like family, organise fun activities and keep us as parents updated.

I have always found the staff and everyone that works at Tummyticklers Childcare Service to be a pleasure to talk to, they can never do enough to help and support me and my family. Both my sons have always been as part of the group and my sons have advanced so much more. They are the most professional and caring bunch of people I have ever met and the love they show to the kids is unmatched in every way, shape and form.

Our boys love it here! They always have so much fun and are so well looked after. We always know that when they come to Tummyticklers Childcare Service they are safe, happy and nurtured.

From my initial visit, I knew that Tummyticklers Childcare Service was the perfect nursery for my baby. It is a clean, happy and caring environment where the staff go above and beyond to care for your child. The online updates are a great way of keeping in touch and seeing what your child has been doing during the day. You can also look back at previous days and receive photos. I am looking forward to seeing my child's development at this nursery as she progresses through the rooms.

Lovely and friendly staff with great activities and days for the kids. My child really loves coming here and sometimes does not say bye and comes straight in to play. 10/10.

Amazing staff. My children are always happy after coming here.

Tummy's is wonderful the staff are extremely understanding and help where possible. Very friendly, bubbly environment. They have wonderful activities for the children. My son loves it all.

The staff are all friendly and have a great bond with my kids, even if they aren't in the same room. My son with additional needs loves it here, they are very accommodating to him, giving him time on his own if needed. Also, supporting him in his next school, making sure it's suitable and applying for his education health care plan.
