Tiddlywinks Nursery Group proudly opened its fifth setting in the heart of the Ancoats/Beswick community, offering exceptional early years care and education for children aged four months up to school age. Their aim is simple: to give every child the very best start in life.
At Tiddlywinks Ancoats, they believe that children thrive when parents and practitioners work in true partnership. Together, they create a rich, rewarding, and stimulating experience filled with fun, laughter, and meaningful learning opportunities.
Their nursery ethos focuses on providing a happy, secure, and nurturing environment where every child can grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. With three spacious outdoor areas, an enhanced provision throughout the setting, and opportunities for real-world exploration, children are encouraged to investigate, discover, and learn through child-led play.
They offer a wide range of exciting activities designed to ignite curiosity, build independence, and allow children to take safe, calculated risks as they develop confidence in their own abilities. Every child’s unique interests are celebrated and used to shape their learning journey.
Tiddlywinks Ancoats also proudly provides free childcare places for eligible two and three year olds through early years education funding, helping families access high-quality childcare all year round.

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.

The staff here are fantastic, very supportive, caring and just overall really lovely people.
My son really didn’t like going to his old nursery, he would cry every day on the way there, but not at Tiddlywinks; he bounces in every day with a smile and waves me goodbye.
The best nursery around!
It had been the best experience both for myself and my adorable one. I am so glad we signed my daughter up at this nursery. It helps my child to understand words and the world, making teaching and communication easier for my family.

I can't recommend this nursery enough. They have been absolutely fantastic with my son. He has attended the setting for over a year, after having a dreadful time at his previous nursery. He settled so well and I felt comfortable leaving him with the very capable staff from day one. The parent app keeps you updated and you can see photos of activities throughout the day. He is well-fed and all of his needs are more than met. He has so much fun and speaks fondly of his time at nursery. Children are stimulated with different activities, all of the other toddlers seem very happy there too. He talks about his friends and the staff when he comes home. They have lots of time outside as well, which my son loves. They have brilliant facilities and lots of different areas for the children to explore. The nursery is clean and smells nice, unlike some nurseries! It's very calming in the reception area, making children feel comfortable and relaxed.
My little boy loves coming to Tiddlywinks Day Nursery Ancoats, literally jumping at the door. They handled the transition to nursery really well and reassure you with updates on the app throughout the day. All staff are friendly and very competent. I would highly recommend.

Pleasant experience was offered a drink and asked to go to the baby room where it was quieter. Keyworker was knowledgeable about my childs development.

She handles a conversation and I am so proud of my little girl. I want to also thank the teachers for her potty training.

Highly recommend Tiddlywinks. My son has additional needs with a learning and development delay and also a speech delay.

Highly recommend Tiddlywinks. My son has additional needs with a learning and development delay and also a speech delay. The ladies at Ancoats have helped him come along in all areas and helped him reach his goals. He really loves going and gets excited when we arrive at nursery, which is a relief for me and my partner as my son does find it difficult in new places and with new people. Thank you.
I really appreciate the meeting, I like everything they are doing for my child and the explanations. Thanks a lot.

Both my children have attended this nursery and I wouldn't trust any other nursery to take care of them to the same high standard. The staff are kind, caring and professional. The activities are varied and the food is great. My older child is now at school and she still talks about this nursery with fondness and loves visiting to collect her brother. I have every confidence in recommending this nursery - they are excellent.

With over 16 years of experience in early years education, I have had the privilege of working with children across all age ranges, from our youngest babies to confident preschoolers preparing for school. My passion for childcare has grown stronger each year, and I am dedicated to creating a nurturing, engaging, and high-quality learning environment for every child. Supporting children through each stage of their development—and working closely with their families—has always been at the heart of my practice, and I am committed to ensuring every child thrives, feels valued, and leaves our setting with confidence and joy.
