Overall Experience

Toddlers Inn is a fantastic nursery. Every time I drop my son off, I know he’s going to have a wonderful time and have lots of great experiences. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and the daily updates on what they’ve been doing are greatly appreciated. Of all the nurseries we looked at, we felt it was the best at putting the children first and we love how they base the learning and activities on what the children want to learn and do.

Review from Steven M (Father of Child) published on 11 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 13-month-old son has been at Toddlers Inn since January when we moved into the area.
The joining experience was excellent, with great flexibility and understanding were shown to us by the team considering the fact we had yet to finally make our move, so travelling in from some distance.
The use of the excellent outdoor space, even for the children from the baby room, is great, as is the variety of the food.
And the use of the app as an online tool to add photos /comments etc every single day is also something I find really helpful.
You can see the great rapport the staff have with all the children and sounds of laughter and happy children always greet you at the start and end of the day.
In summary, he loves going to nursery, you can just see when we arrive at the great relationship he has already built up with the team, who are also excellent at welcoming you when you arrive and letting you know how the day has been on pick up.

I would highly recommend Toddlers Inn

Review from Laura V (Mother of Child) published on 4 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Toddlers Inn Nursery is a fantastic nursery forest school. The staff are so warm, friendly, kind and caring. My one-year-old little boy started in March after living his first year in lockdown, so I was a bit apprehensive. The manager and the team were so patient and reassuring and did lots of extras to ensure he settled in well. He absolutely loves it there, and I get detailed daily updates, so I can see how much he’s enjoying himself, his development has come on so much since he started. The menu is excellent too, everything cooked on-site and it’s all locally sourced.

Absolutely wonderful nursery. Both my children have been here over the last seven years, and they have both loved it. I have been especially impressed with the last twelve months. Literally, cannot fault their dealing with the current situation and they have gone above and beyond to make the nursery a safe and fun place for the kids.

Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son joined Toddler’s Inn Nursery just before his first birthday, not long after the first pandemic lockdown. Despite the fact he had spent so little time seeing new things and new people, he quickly settled in and developed strong bonds with the caring staff. He has gone from a quiet baby to a confident, independent-minded toddler since he has been there, which is a testament to the care and attention he receives. His curiosity is constantly fed, as well as his tummy, which he loves. He is always happy to be dropped off and is itching to get through the gate. I feel so grateful to the staff for all they have done for our son and it has made what could have been a really difficult time for him, feel positive, safe and secure. I highly recommend Toddlers Inn Nursery.

Review from Martha W (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We had tried a few different settings for our nervous three-year-old as we were looking for a nurturing setting. We wanted something that was truly child-centred. We found Toddlers Inn Nursery in the middle of a pandemic. I was worried about how well my daughter would settle in but she loved it from day one. She is disappointed when she knows it's not a "Toddlers day"! Her confidence and independence have grown so much by being there, we couldn't have asked for better.

Reply from Sabrina Watt, Manager at Toddlers Inn Nursery

Thank you for your reply, after speaking with you about your thoughts about resources and cleanliness, we realised that we need to explain the ethos of Forest School more and explain that when children attend Forest School they love to play in the mud, so it will never look like a clean...

Such a wonderful nursery and brilliant staff! I would recommend this nursery to anyone. My daughter has needed a bit of extra support, and I cannot thank the staff enough for all they have done. They have just been fantastic! The nursery also has fantastic outdoor space for the children. I could not fault this nursery at all. Always made to feel welcome, kept updated with how children are getting on, and staff are always happy and chatty. Finally, the most important thing, the children are very happy!

Overall Experience

I took my son to have a look at Toddlers Inn Nursery not long before we went into a national lockdown, so we delayed him starting by nearly a year. Despite this, I knew this was the right environment for him. During the initial visit, we were there for nearly an hour, and he quickly became involved in the activities the other children were doing. Since starting in January, he not only loves the nursery, he is thriving. The environment is warm and inviting. The outdoor space that was so vital for us making our decision is huge, and they have free reign to be inside or outside. They have an allotment on sight with animals such as rabbits, fish and giant African snails, and I believe they are looking at getting chickens. The food is made fresh every day, and the children help to make snacks and food. When I drop him off in the morning, I’m lucky if I get a backwards wave as he runs in so happy to be there. It’s honestly amazing, and I’m so pleased that we chose this nursery. Outstanding.

A friendly, nurturing nursery environment. The staff are kind and welcoming and the range of activities is fantastic. My son is very happy here and he has recently moved up to Forest School. He’s getting the opportunity to get involved in lots of new activities and is learning lots.

Overall Experience

This is an absolutely fantastic, rural nursery that provides a unique setting for children. My boys are almost always outdoors and come back full of stories and wonderfully exhausted! The care is completely personalised and I couldn’t wish for anywhere better to send my children. We are so lucky to have Toddlers Inn Nursery nearby and I have been actively encouraging everyone I know with young children to send their kids there!

I have two boys currently at Toddlers Inn. I can’t recommend them more. They have all the amazing facilities you would expect, but the thing that is most important to me is that my boys are just so happy there. The staff treat the kids with kindness and genuinely care. You can tell when kids really like people, and that to me is everything.

Everyone at the nursery is so caring and kind. It amazes me the time and effort they put into coming up with new games and ideas to teach the children. I also love how much they use their outside space. My son has been welcomed there with open arms from the moment we went to see it. Couldn’t ask for a better beginning for him.

Overall Experience

Toddlers Inn is fantastic! My daughter loves it there and loves all the staff. Everyone is so friendly and kind. They know her so well, and her development has come on so much, which is so lovely to see. The number of different activities they do in a day amazes me! And if I am working on something with my daughter at home, for example, her please and thank you’s the nursery also encourage this whilst she is with them! My facilitate bit about the nursery is the amount of outdoor space they have and the all-weather facilities they have for the babies and children. I couldn’t recommend the nursery more! And my son will be going soon too!

Reply from Sabrina Watt, Manager at Toddlers Inn Nursery

Overall Experience

I cannot even begin to put into words what an amazing nursery this is. I am a first-time mum and was obviously nervous about sending my daughter, especially at 8-months-old. The staff here are amazing. They are so kind and caring and really make you feel a part of your child’s day every time they are there. They share what they have been up to and how they have been throughout the day. They are always checking how I am as well. The videos and photos I have seen of my daughter playing have been magical. She even smiles now at 10-months-old when we arrive at the nursery.

Review from G F (Father of Child) published on 25 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Toddlers Inn is a truly fantastic nursery that we are very fortunate to send our daughter to. The care that our daughter receives is fantastic; she has learned so much from the very attentive and caring nursery team. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys attending the nursery, and her personal development has been massively helped along by team there.
The nursery itself is extremely well looked after - it is is modern, clean, safe and fun.
During the pandemic, the nursery has taken extra steps and been extremely careful about hygiene, social-distancing and maintaining a safe and clean environment for the children to be in. This is helped by the fact the nursery has access to a wonderful outdoor area that is not only spacious but filled with fun activities and locations for the children to enjoy.

We highly recommend Toddler's Inn. We looked around a lot before coming here and compared to other nurseries in the area it's leagues above the rest.

Review from Sam C (Father of Child) published on 25 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The team at Toddlers Inn have been incredible this year. My son began nursery at the end of 2020 after the first UK lockdown. He loves every minute of the day, and it’s great that the team post daily comments and photos about what they get up to. Right now, during the UK’s second lockdown in 2021, having Toddlers Inn open has been a saviour! It’s reassuring to know that the great work the team do, can help protect the children from the educational challenges of this second national lockdown. I just want to say a massive thank you to all the members of staff at Toddlers Inn. They are welcoming, warm, fun and the perfect role models.

Overall Experience

I'm so thrilled that my son is able to attend Toddlers Inn Nursery. The care he receives is outstanding, and the staff are excellent. I get daily updates and feel that, although in these uncertain times, I can't enter the nursery, I can still get a feel for how the day has gone. The manager is always on hand to answer any questions I have. The children spend lots of time doing fun activities and playing outside. Attending Toddlers Inn has certainly enhanced my son's development, and I can highly recommend the manager and her team to anyone looking for childcare in this area.

Review from Josie C (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

What can I say! My 4-year-old son absolutely loved his years at Toddlers Inn and still now talks about the things he used to get up to and all of his teachers. He made his best friend at nursery and they have gone up to school together which has been lovely to watch. The nursery and all of the staff nurtured him and helped mould him into the confident caring boy that he is today. My 1-year-old son, although he has only been going to the nursery for a few months, loves going in. I always leave him with a smile on his face and know that he is having fun and being well cared for while he’s there. His confidence and character have grown so much. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Toddlers Inn to anyone. Thank you to all of the staff.
