The staff genuinely care for the children, and we've always felt completely at ease leaving ours at the nursery over the years. The team is always willing to help, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Their approach to school readiness and development is fantastic-the children think
Their approach to school readiness and development is fantastic-the children think
they're simply playing fun games, when in fact they're being beautifully prepared for the future.
Our only sadness is knowing that one day they'll be too old to attend.

Wonderful Nursery - Highly Recommend!
My son has been attending this nursery since he was just 9 months old, and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions we've made. Now at 3 years old, he absolutely loves going in every day.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was just 9 months old, and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions we've made. Now at 3 years old, he absolutely loves going in every day.
The staff are caring, patient, and truly dedicated. They
know each child so well and always make him feel safe, understood, and supported. His confidence has grown so much, and we can see how much he's learned-socially, emotionally, and academically.
The activities are always fun and varied, from creative play to outdoor time and early learning. Communication with parents is great too-we're always kept updated on his progress and daily routines.
It's clear that everyone at the nursery genuinely cares about the children. Our son is happy, thriving, and excited to go every morning, which means the world to us as parents.

I have been using this nursery for 6 years. My older son started at 6 months old and stayed until he turned 4 and my youngest son started at 10 months and is still currently there for 1 more year. When looking for a nursery I wanted somewhere that had a very friendly environment and somewhere I felt
comfortable leaving him. I looked at various places and Twinkle Totz was my favourite by far. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. They are an asset to the nursery. The layout of the nursery is great and I can see the children’s safety is a priority. They go above and beyond to solve any queries I have had and they welcome new suggestions from parents. They are reasonably priced and are part of voucher schemes which helps financially. I have recommended this nursery to fellow parents and will be sad to leave them when my younger son starts school next September.

My daughter started nursery full time in May and she absolutely loves it at Twinkle Totz. The staff have made her feel so welcome and she gets along with all the other children. The routine they provide is great, from playtimes to food, to nappy changes and naps, it’s really been great to watch my daughter
develop since she started. Definitely recommend.

Current
Review Score: 8.5 (8.472)
Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 8.5 (8.472) out of 10 for Twinkle Totz at Islip Manor Children's Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
- The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
- The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
Detailed Breakdown of Review Score
The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
- 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.972 for Twinkle Totz at Islip Manor Children's Centre is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.972
-
5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 3.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Twinkle Totz at Islip Manor Children's Centre is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
- 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
- 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 number of registered child places is 12. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.25
- When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
- If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
