Review from S L (Mother of Child) published on 5 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been in preschool since September. She settled in well to Tiddlywinks and has loved making new friends. She loves the staff and always comes home talking about all the fun they get up. We loved the stay-and-play for parents to attend and it was special to get to see a day in the life at nursery! She's come on loads over the last few months with her writing and phonics and the preschool have helped prepare her for big school in a few months time. I get updates and pictures weekly on the app and a breakdown of her development and areas and activities they are working on to support her at the end of each term. I'm grateful to all the staff at Tiddlywinks for making her first experience of school such a lovely one!

Reply from Tracy Makin, Nursery Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery Clayton

Thank you so much for the lovely comments. it's a sad time now as our children prepare for Big School, but we are excited for them to begin their new journey. I will pass your lovely comments on to the team. Kind regards.

My little girl has settled really well. She comes home and is so excited to tell me all about her day what she has been learning about and what fun activities she has been doing. She has made lots of friends and has amazing bonds with the staff within the nursery. It's like home from home and a second family. The staff are amazing at what they do.
