We are extremely happy with the care and attention our child receives at Tiddlywinks Nursery Ancoats.The staffs create a warm, supportive atmosphere that encourages our child's growth and happiness. Our child loves going to Nursery each day, thanks to the caring staff and the fun, stimulating activities they provide.
Highly recommend.
Had a warm welcome from the staff. Great experience with the staff. Very welcoming and friendly. The process and procedures were clearly explained by the staff. There is enough parking in the compound.
Our son also attended this Nursery one year ago but has some difficulties, we were previously turned away by another nursery as they said they couldn't tend to his needs. When I got in contact with Tiddlywinks for a possible place for my son I spoke to the manager who assured me that my son was more than welcome at the setting. The Nursery went above and beyond to help him settle in. The staff took the time to understand him and get to know him and his needs, which started to show in his behaviour as he was so happy to attend. He has now moved on to primary school however the staff will always ask how he is.
I can not fault this nursery and all the staff!
Thank you for being amazing with my children and I will continue recommending this setting to all my friends and family.
Really appreciate that all members of staff learn all the children's names too, even when they work in different classrooms they always make you feel welcome.
Tiddlywinks is an amazing nursery. My son loves his teachers and they are also very friendly and welcoming. Amazing nursery manager with a good sense of humour. My son started from the baby room, it's amazing how mature he is now, he started being a lot more independent from the activities he partakes in at the nursery. Delighted to have put him there.
Tiddlywinks provides a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff who genuinely care about our daughter's development. The outdoor space offers ample room for exploration, complete with chickens adding to the charm. Our daughter adores three members of staff in particular for their attentive care and engaging interactions. Overall, it's a fantastic environment for young learners, our daughter loves it and we feel very comfortable entrusting her care with her nursery family.
My son is a very clingy and shy person, the nursery staff are really good to him, such that his settling-in process was smooth which I didn't expect to be so easy. All their staff are bubbly and you can tell that they really love the kids and its not just a job to them, they are an amazing bunch. The only downside is they don't really update on a daily basis what the child has done updates are either not done or they come days or weeks later other than that this nursery is superb and I love how the staff are so dedicated to the kids, as a mum I know they are a good bunch especially when your child comes home and naming and imitating the teachers he has engaged with during the day in a good way and he is looking forward to the next day. Would recommend this setting a thousand times.
This is an amazing nursery with very caring staff. My little boy is very active and they let him express himself and encourage it, which is all part of his learning and development. He settled in really well and the staff are always very welcoming and kind. My only comment would be, there is room for improvement in their learning, particularly on speech development for the babies, this is an area that could be given a little more attention. Overall, a great a nursery and I will totally recommend.
My child loves coming to Tiddlywinks. He always asks if he can come, even on days he doesn’t attend. I’m really glad that we were recommended this nursery by two other parents; it’s the best decision we made to enrol him here. He has progressed massively and grown so much in confidence and skills since being here. The staff are all so encouraging, and the language he uses shows this beautifully, as he always praises us as his parents for things we do well, clearly things he hears often at nursery, which is so lovely to hear.
My son started attending Tiddlywinks day nursery, Ancoats during the lockdown and on his first day, he really settled well and never cried when I dropped him off. This gave me peace of mind. I really appreciate the staff at Tiddlywinks day nursery, Ancoats for helping in my son's growth. I've noticed massive improvements and I'm very happy with the care my son receives.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, I will pass on your feedback to the staff team.
Very good nursery. Lovely staff.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, I will pass on your feedback to my staff team. Have a great day!
Very pleased with the service and support all around, for our son and we have noticed the tremendous progress of our son.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, I will pass on your comments to my staff team. Have a great day!
Both daughters loved being here. The staff always tell me if there are any concerns with my children and always work well with them both. Lovely nursery - I always tell friends and recommend your care.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for recommending Tiddlywinks to your friends. I will pass on the wonderful feedback to my team.
I'm very happy with everything at the nursery. My child has improved in his behavior and understanding loads and has become much more confident and independent.
Thank you for your lovely review, I will pass on your lovely feedback to my team.
My child settled into this nursery so well; she absolutely loves it. All of the staff are so nice and friendly. She has lots of friends and always comes home so happy. I love the app updates and pictures. We couldn't have chosen a better nursery. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means a lot to have some wonderful feedback for our setting.
My son started at Tiddlywinks Nursery Ancoats in the summer. From the first day, I have felt reassured that he is well looked after. He really enjoys it, and you can tell by how much he loves the staff. I am so happy that I chose Tiddlywinks.
Thank you for your lovely review, it is our pleasure to look after your little one.
My daughter has been going to Tiddlywinks in Ancoats for 4 months now and I couldn't be happier, so much so that we have moved house to a different area but still choose to commute to this nursery. Every single member of staff makes the effort to say hello and make small talk at drop-off and pick-up which really gives a sense of the friendly feel to this nursery. My daughter settled in well and we get regular updates on how she is doing, both via the app and when we see the staff. Security at the nursery is really good, my husband once got asked for ID as he doesn't pick her up much - this was really reassuring. They do lots of different activities with the children which keep them stimulated throughout the day. Management are great and respond to any queries really quickly.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means so much to know you are happy with the care given to your little one. I will pass on the lovely feedback to my team. Kind regards, Sarah Russell, Nursery Manager.
We couldn't be happier with Tiddlywinks. They really understand that little ones and their parents may be nervous about nursery and do everything that can to make it a wonderful experience. Parents are kept informed of what their little ones are doing and having to eat via updates and photos through the app, while little ones are kept stimulated and entertained with a variety of activities throughout the day. Best of all, the staff really care and closely work hard to ensure the little ones are happy while trying new things and developing new skills. It's great to see our baby having such a good time and coming home having learnt new things - he started at 11-months, but we'd wholeheartedly recommend Tiddlywinks for little ones of all ages.
Hi, Thank you so much for your lovely review, I will pass on your comments to the team here at Tiddlywinks.
I am very happy with how my daughter has progressed through nursery since starting in the baby room. Her development has been excellent and she is always telling me what such a good time she has had every time she comes home. She is always talking about her key worker and I am happy knowing she has this relationship with her key worker.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I will pass this on to our staff team. Have a lovely day, Kind regards, Sarah Russell, Nursery Manager.
