Review from Richard R (Father of Child) published on 25 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Top-tier facilities and staff are wonderful. My eldest kid went through this nursery and loved every minute. My youngest kid is far more shy and much less outgoing, but still absolutely loves his time here. I couldn't ask for more!

Reply from Lindsay Smyth, Marketing & Communications Manager at Tockington Manor Nursery

Thank you Richard! Glad to hear your children have had a positive experience with us. We appreciate the review many thanks!

Overall Experience

TMS is an incredible nursery! My little girl is so happy there, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children's well-being and development. They offer a wonderful variety of activities, from long walks outside to hands-on experiences like cooking, which keeps her engaged and excited to learn. I've seen such an improvement in her learning since she started, and I feel confident knowing she's in such a nurturing environment. Highly recommend TMS to any parent looking for a place that truly fosters growth and happiness!

Reply from Lindsay Smyth, Marketing & Communications Manager at Tockington Manor Nursery

This is so lovely thank you! It brings us such joy to get reviews like this, knowing our children are happy and learning is the very best reward for our efforts! :) We hope your daughter continues to flourish as part of our TMS family!

Review from Joanna B (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We feel extremely grateful that our daughter is part of the Tockington family . All the staff are extremely accommodating and nothing is too much trouble . Our daughter's confidence has developed immensely since starting in February and she looks forward to going in . The activities she does are well planned and linked to her learning and the meals she has - well I think they are better than what she gets at home ! We can't wait to continue to watch our daughter flourish as she moves through from Woodpeckers to Owls and then onto the school . If you are in a position to be able to send your child here, I wouldn't think twice . Thanks to all the staff who go above and beyond to make each day an enjoyable one .

Reply from Lindsay Smyth, Marketing & Communications Manager at Tockington Manor Nursery

What an incredible review - thank you so much! It is wonderful to hear such excellent feedback on our Nursery and, in particular, how well it prepares the children for school when they start in Reception. We hope to have you with us as part of the Tockington family for many years to come!

Review from D G (Father of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery at Tockington Manor is absolutely fantastic and our kids are so happy there. The staff are fantastic with children and very friendly and the facilities available to the nursery children is truly unique. From welly walks in the school grounds, sports days in the walled garden, swimming in the pool it really is an incredible and natural environment for the kids to enjoy and benefit from. We have had children in the nursery for the past 4 years and feel very fortunate to have such a great nursery nearby.

Reply from Lindsay Smyth, Marketing & Communications Manager at Tockington Manor Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - we really do appreciate it. The children do love their welly walks!

Review from Heather R (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter spent a year in this Nursery before moving up to Reception this past autumn, and she absolutely loved it. My son is now in the Woodpeckers class and he settled quickly, and is excited to go in in the mornings. He speaks of the staff fondly, and I'm so pleased he enjoys it so much! The grounds of the school are beautiful and it's so nice that they're able to enjoy nature and time outside. The activities are great as well.

Overall Experience

I cannot fault a single thing about Tockington Manor School. The staff are incredible and bring out the very best in our children. My daughter has excelled beyond all recognition and has blossomed under the gentle, nurturing care she has received at Tockington. The grounds are exceptional and one of the reasons we chose here. To grow up in the care of such wonderful staff, exploring the beautiful surroundings and being able to make the most of the opportunities that Tockington provides - I really do feel so lucky that we are able to do this for her.

Overall Experience

TMS Nursery is a fantastic environment for any child! The staff are caring and knowledgeable, the children are happy and experience so much they wouldn’t be able to in any other setting! They have beautiful grounds to take environmental walks in, a swimming pool to learn swimming in, a music suite and so much else. They are well-catered for, included in the school by older children, and genuinely get the best start in life that any parent could wish for.

Reply from Lindsay Smyth, Marketing & Communications Manager at Tockington Manor Nursery

What a wonderful review! Thank you - we are so pleased to hear such positive feedback. It certainly does help our nursery children integrate into the school when they start reception within the same family-oriented, countryside environment!

Overall Experience

Tockington Manor Nursery is an amazing place. Our daughter is the happiest girl there. The staff is really professional, they have a key person who truly cares about the well-being of your child. They all know all the names of the children, which creates an easier and safer environment. The school grounds are incredible and offer a huge variety of exploring experiences. They work hard on multiculturalism, which is the main reason why we particularly chose them. The team manager is always available and open to talk to us. We are absolutely sure of the positive impact that the nursery has created in our daughter and we can’t wait for our baby to start going too.

Superb nursery setting, the staff are all fantastic. Settled in incredibly. Loves the variety of activities, engaging and fun learning. The grounds are beautiful seeing the children spend lots of time exploring outside. Very nurturing, and focused on child development.

Genuinely feel development has accelerated at Tockington, with early learning of language, speech and vocabulary.

My son started at the nursery back in September 2022 and has grown in confidence so much over the academic year. The children have a brilliant variety of activities each day and have a beautiful landscape to explore.
The staff are all so welcoming and friendly, my son is always greeted with a smile. The preschool group also have swimming lessons and French.

This is a great environment for children starting school and getting familiar with school life.

Overall Experience
My son has been at this nursery just coming up to a year at Easter, he struggled to settle but with the support and love he received from the staff in Woodpecker 2 and then in Owls he has come to love it. They have supported us with development delays and toilet training and are always there for a chat if needed.

My son leaves this summer to go to school and I really can’t thank the staff enough for getting him ready for the next big adventure.

Review from I A (Mother of Child) published on 21 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Tockington Manor Nursery is a very good nursery. Definitely have a lot to offer the children such as cookery, environmental play, learning different languages and swimming. I’ve definitely seen my children progress and develop a lot since joining. They could improve however in communication with the parents and support for children with SEN but other than that it’s a great place.

Reply from Mrs Smyth, Marketing & Communications Manager at Tockington Manor Nursery

Thank you so much for taking the time to feed back to us. We really appreciate hearing about your positive experience with the nursery as well as the challenges you have faced and how we can improve.
