Overall Experience

My son really enjoys Tummyticklers Childcare Service and is always excited about going. I have always found the staff extremely friendly and have no worries about leaving my child in their care. I also find the trips they do during the school holidays very good.

Review from Danielle H (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My baby started attending Tummyticklers Childcare Service at 12 weeks old. I have every faith in the staff and have found them extremely caring and attentive to my baby's needs. The facilities within the baby room are excellent, well led and overall an excellent learning environment and a safe place for my baby.

The management have been flexible and reassuring. They keep accurate records of my baby's daily activities/food/log/nappy changes etc and always hand this over when I collect him. I would recommend Tummyticklers Childcare Service 100%

Review from Carolyn D (Foster Parent of Child) published on 6 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have worked in in partnership with the nursery throughout my current placement of three siblings under 5. I am truly grateful for the high level of individual support provided especially support for the youngest aged 2. Advice, support and guidance have been outstanding in all aspects of this very complex family. There has been a huge surge of accelerated learning because of the individual support designed to develop and encourage his language and social skills. I have been more than supported by this professional and sensitive team.

Review from Yvette A (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Tummyticklers is the only childcare provider I have felt confident leaving my youngest child with. I started using this nursery in 2015 for wrap around care for my oldest, and daycare for my youngest. Both my children enjoy going to Tummyticklers and have made good bonds with the staff members there. The staff make sure my girls are provided with high-quality learning experiences and that they have fun. Staff members are caring, approachable and knowledgeable. As an early years professional myself, it was difficult to find a childcare provider I was happy to leave my girls with, I found the nurturing and safe environment I was looking for at Tummyticklers and would highly recommend.

Review from Jess (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I have had 3 children all together and they have all done different nurseries.
This nursery is by far the best one my children have been to.
I never question any of the staff when it comes to my daughter, as I know that they are all professional in their work.
I only need to look at my daughter to realise as she is learning something new every day.
She also talks about all the teachers at home and she always smiles when talking about them.

Excellent nursery.

Review from L W (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Tummyticklers has come a long way since it's very small beginning. The management are a great team and the staff that work with them are fantastic. They are forward thinking and are always focused on the children in their care. I find the staff very approachable and friendly and are very flexible in their arrangements.

My son enjoys his time here, the activities are well planned and are suitable for each age group. They deal with requests quickly and efficiently and any issues have been resolved professionally and in a timely manner. Events they have held in the local community have been incredibly successful and we love attending. I would recommend this childcare service to anyone, even though my son's school offers after-school care, we like/prefer to send him here.

Overall Experience

The staff are brilliant. My son has special needs and I feel confident he is in good hands. They collaborate with me and my family on strategies with my son and his needs. They are always happy to welcome feedback and calm my nerves over concerns I have.

Very approachable. Unlike the previous nursery, they try to find ways to further my son's education and work with the school.

Review from Kelly L (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have been impressed with Tummyticklers Childcare Service right from the first day when I dropped off my very reluctant child! They were fab and made the transition easy and stress-free. I left feeling confident that my son was in very capable hands. Since then (15 months ago) I continue to be impressed and happy with the child care arrangements and my son looks forward to going and has built great rapport with all the staff. A fun, friendly and safe place to leave your children. Well done and keep up the good work.

Review from Karen D (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child has grown in confidence during the short time she has attended the after-school provision. There are plenty of activities that she can take part in when I pick my child up, staff are friendly and will relate any concerns or incidents that have occurred.

They take the safeguarding of children in their care seriously. I have no concerns regarding the wellbeing or safety of my child. She is very happy and likes all the members of staff.

Was very sceptical leaving my children with anyone! But they have settled in well and the team at Tummyticklers are amazing! Wouldn't trust anyone else with my children! Highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to take their children.

Reply from Lisa Smith, Proprietor at Tummyticklers Childcare Service

Overall Experience

Tummyticklers staff are always happy and friendly and make an effort to talk to my children. The manager has been so supportive of my husband and my irregular shift pattern and is always flexible to meet our, sometimes very demanding, needs at short notice. The setting is a happy and educational one and I would not hesitate to recommend Tummyticklers to any parent or guardian. The manager is continually working to improve the setting and facilities.

Very flexible childcare. My children enjoy all the activities on offer. The staff know my children as individuals and my children are clearly fond of them which is great peace of mind for me. I am very happy Tummyticklers was recommended to me, it's been invaluable in childcare help.

Overall Experience

Friendly nursery, fab staff, although at first my son didn't want to go, they took it at his pace and now he can't wait to go and doesn't want to come home! Always happy after his sessions! Couldn't ask for nicer or friendly people for my son to be around.

My son has been going here for over a year and loves it. All staff are friendly and helpful. The site has a massive outdoor space and plenty of room inside including a soft play area. My son has learnt loads from the nursery they constantly help him achieve more. I couldn't be happier.

The staff are very good with both my sons. They are kind and look after them very well. Both my boys love to go. The staff made sure that they settled in well. I can't fault the team and the hard work that they do everyday. They work with you and any problems. They try to solve by helping parents think of solutions. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

The staff are amazing and cater to my child's individual needs. Even though my little one has a disability they make sure his needs are met and he is involved in all activities. They go above and beyond with him and he loves going to this nursery. There are lots of activities available for the children in a bright, colourful, clean, caring and safe environment.

Review from John E (Father of Child) published on 12 October 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been with this nursery for 3 to 4 months and our son loves it, the problem we are having now is we find it hard taking him away from the place . We have started to see an improvement in his education they have made him more confident in himself. The staff at this place are out of this world they will bend over backwards for you unlike the last nursery we attended. They helped us with all of our paper work and ring us if we sometimes forget it, ring in to say we want to book the next week I think I need to attend Tummyticklers. Being a single dad is hard on it's own, before I never had time to think as I was run off my feet all the time with work etc and now I don't have to run about at a hundred miles an hour, this place gives me comfort and peace in my own life and I have written this to say thank you Tummyticklers and all the staff that work there.
