The staff are exceptionally warm and made the settling-in period so much easier for both us and our child. I love how they provide daily updates on meals and activities, which gives us total peace of mind.
My child loves the spacious outdoor garden and always comes home excited to tell us about the chickens and, overall, the story time and birthday parties. Since starting, we've seen a huge boost in his confidence.
I highly recommend Tiddlywinks Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for their little one!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that your child is enjoying their time at Tiddlywinks Nursery and that our team helped make the settling-in process a positive experience. It's wonderful to know they love the garden, chickens, story times, and celebrations, and we're...
My son has been very happy since starting at the nursery. We always feel that he is safe, well cared for, and supported by the team. His key person is incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and has built a lovely relationship with him. We really appreciate the care and dedication shown by all the staff. Thank you for creating such a warm and welcoming environment for children.
Large outdoor space for play. Well organised range of activities during the day including nursery rhymes, reading, messy play. Invested in child's development journey with regular app updates on nursery days. My son has really enjoyed his time so far in the setting
The staff are amazing, caring, and dedicated and they have played a huge part in my children's learning and development. A special mention goes to Charly, the manager who is always smiling, approachable and willing to help whenever needed. Her warmth and support make a real difference to both children and parents.
My children have learned so much during their time at the nursery and have developed both socially and academically in a nurturing and stimulating environment. It has been wonderful to see them grow in confidence and enjoy their time there.
I would highly recommend Tiddlywinks Nursery Ancoats to any parent looking for a caring, supportive and high-quality nursery for their child. Thank you to everyone at Tiddleywinks for all the care and support you've given my family over the years.

His development has been amazing - his confidence with other children, speech & language progress, and the activities they do every day are all superb. The care is just outstanding.
What really sets them apart is communication. We got a full, detailed handover at home time every single day, so we always knew what he'd eaten, learned, and enjoyed.
All the teachers are perfect, but special shoutout to Olivia - you're doing a phenomenal job and we're so grateful our son is in your hands. He absolutely loves coming in and so do we.
Thank you for making his first nursery experience so special

An excellent environment for young children, supported by highly competent and caring staff. I noticed significant developmental improvement in the children within just a few weeks, which speaks volumes about the quality of care and learning provided.

The nursery is always very welcoming. Our grandson has a great experience and tells us all about his time at nursery as we walk home. He always wants to go back. He is thriving. I am delighted that his parents chose Tiddlywinks Ancoats. The staff are lovely!
My son had been in the baby then toddler room and it is amazing how the staff showered the children with love. At birthdays, they would make a big event out of it, sticking his photo on the front door, have a party with cake and just making him the happiest person in the world. He came home singing happy birthday songs again and again and that is still his favourite song. It is a very experienced team who knows how to deal with difficult children. He was only one when he went and he wasn't sleep-trained. I wasn't sure whether he was ready for nursery but his keyworker puts a lot of efforts and cracked it. Staff looked like they have been professionally trained. They use an app to communicate what and when the child eat, when do they sleep and when did they have the nappies changed. I don't think many nurseries do that. The nursery opening hours are quite long 7:30am to 6pm. I think the quality is similar to private schools, without the judgemental environment and for much lower fee.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear about your positive experience and that your son felt so happy, safe, and loved during his time with us. Creating special moments, like celebrating birthdays, is something we truly value, so it's lovely to hear how much those...
The care, comfort and attention provided to my baby is amazing. I feel confident when I drop my baby at the nursery.
The staffs are very professional and always perform their duties with full responsibility.
Thank you for trusting us with your little one's early journey.
I chose Tiddlywinks for my son after his original nursery closed. He started here just before his second birthday and I wish he'd move sooner! From his very first day I felt that he was safe and cared for and he has been thriving ever since. The staff here listened to our concerns, reassured us and have supported his development exceptionally. Each and every member of staff has made an effort to get to know us and our child, and it genuinely feels like we're dropping him off with family. I'll be devastated to move on from Tiddlywinks when my son moves to reception.
We're...
At 2.5 years old she knows her numbers from 1-12, understands two languages, speaks well, knows her colours and shapes, and has very good emotional regulation. I feel that the staff at Tiddlywinks have really helped support her growth in all of these areas which is fantastic!. The app is great and is constantly updated throughout the day. The facilities are great, very good food options, and then there are day trips and stay and play sessions where the parents can get involved.
Honestly we couldn't be happier here :)
It has been an absolute pleasure watching your little one grow and thrive over the past 18 months-from the baby room, through tweenies, and now into pre-school. Hearing how much confidence she has gained and how well she is progressing in her learning...
There's always a relaxed atmosphere we're the children seem happy to be, if you have any concerns all the staff are approachable and more than happy to listen and help.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. It means a lot to hear that our team's friendly, caring approach is felt across the whole nursery. We pride ourselves on knowing each child as an individual and creating a safe, happy, and well-organised environment for them to thrive in. We're also glad you feel comfortable coming to us with any concerns - our door is always open.
We're so happy with our experience at this nursery. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in our child. It's a safe, nurturing environment with engaging activities, and we've seen such lovely growth in our child's confidence and development. We feel completely reassured leaving them each day and would highly recommend it to other parents
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We're delighted to hear how happy you are with your experience at our nursery. Our team works hard to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment, so it means a lot to know your child is growing in confidence and thriving with us. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
My boys have been at this nursery for 2 and a half years only eldest who is 3 is showing signs of autism I could not thank C enough for everything she has done for my boy she's been his comfort whilst attending always supporting him they've built such a strong bond together which makes me feel so much at ease as a mother knowing there's somebody who understands him and his needs in a different setting than at home. Not only has she supported my son in the best way but she has also supported myself when I've struggled emotionally and mentally. She's supported me in ways from home life struggles with my sons needs to even supporting which school would be best for my son to go to, she's been there whenever we both have needed her I wouldn't have been able to do anything we've achieved with him so far without her, I will be forever grateful for C and I'm sure my son feels the same at 3 as he always mentions C at home too. Thank you so much C for being our rock.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are truly grateful for your kind words. C has loved supporting your little one, and it means so much to know the bond they've built has brought comfort to both him and yourself. We're honored to be part of his journey and look forward to seeing him continue to thrive.
We have two children in Tiddlywinks Ancoats, attending this nursery since they were babies. The nursery is located in a pleasant green space, with its own large garden and playground. The team is very engaged and enthusiastic, professional and with vast knowledge of children's development processes and needs. We are very happy with this nursery and the boys enjoy their time there.
It's been a month that my daughter has left the nursery because we moved houses and this one is really far now, but there haven't been 2 days in a row when my daughter hasn't mentioned her key worker's name and asked for her. In fact she keeps mentioning multiple people from there. She moved up from Baby room to toddler room and made friends everywhere.
Superbly amazing staff. It was a wonderful experience. You can depend on them to take care of your child and keep them safe.
I also attended a first aid session at the nursery which was very helpful.
All staff have been absolutely amazing with both my kids, helped them settled really well and they love being in nursery, just goes to show the love and attention that goes into each individual child. Super friendly and accommodating yours and your child needs. Thank you.
Such a wonderful nursery! I feel so happy and confident having my little girl with you. From the very first day, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and I knew I had made the right choice. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and professional, always ensuring that every child feels safe, happy, and valued.
My son has a great time at nursery, evidenced by him often running in and is happy to get dropped off. His talking has improved considerably since coming to Tiddlywinks, as has his confidence and social skills. There are always plenty of staff around to look after him, and they all know even if they're from separate rooms, and he doesn't mind who he is handed over to in the morning. Whenever I attend, they are usually playing in a group, and are often playing outside. There's a wide variety of meals provided, and he is offered food we would not think to offer him at home.
