Review from Olivia W (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a fantastic nursery! My son has only been attending for 6 weeks or so and I can already see him developing and thriving. The staff are so supportive, with their 'settling in' period tailored to what your child needs. My son has built a good rapport with his main carer, which is very reassuring
as a first-time mum. The curriculum set by management goes beyond requirements so I know it is the best place for any child to flourish and succeed would 100% recommend.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough, it is absolutely amazing! All members of staff are so welcoming and caring and I feel so comfortable leaving my daughter in there care. Since my daughter has attended this nursery her development and learning has improved so much and she really enjoys going. Nothing
is ever to much for the staff and they always do a very good handover and communicate everything to you. It has such a warm feeling and atmosphere in this nursery and I know my daughter is in the best hands. The staff are happy to help and support you with anything you need and the manager is always around and happy to help! Highly recommend, such a safe place for children xx

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and support my child receives at Tiddlywinks nursery Bury. From the moment we walked through the doors, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and truly dedicated to creating a nurturing environment.
The team go above and beyond to ensure each child feels
valued, safe, and engaged. Their attention to individual needs, combined with a well-structured routine, has had a hugely positive impact on my child's confidence and development. The activities are both educational and fun, fostering creativity, curiosity, and social skills.
Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates on progress, activities, and special moments. It's reassuring to know my child is in such capable and caring hands. This collaborative approach ensures that my child receives consistent support.
I highly recommend Tiddlywinks Nursery to any parent looking for outstanding childcare. The dedication and passion of the staff make it a truly special place.

I would strongly recommend Tiddlywinks Nursery to anybody. Both of my children have attended the nursery ( one still currently attends) and I wouldn't send them anywhere else- it is absolutely brilliant.
My son is always so happy to go into nursery and the girls in the baby room always greet him with
a warm welcome and big smiles on their faces.

Review from Oliver L (Father of Child) published on 4 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter's nursery has exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we enrolled her, we knew we had made the right choice. The environment is fantastic, with vibrant, colourful spaces that inspire both creativity and learning. The nursery is a place where our daughter feels happy, safe,
and excited to attend every day.
The staff are exceptional, always going above and beyond to care for the children. They are incredibly attentive and nurturing, ensuring that each child's needs are met with warmth and kindness. It's clear that they genuinely care about the children's development and well-being. Our daughter has flourished under their guidance, and we've seen remarkable progress in her social and cognitive skills.
The management team is equally impressive, consistently offering clear communication and support for both the parents and staff.
It's more than just a childcare place, it's a warm, loving, and enriching environment where children truly thrive.

Tiddlywinks Nursery Bury has been amazing for my daughter, I can't recommend it enough. I've never had any issues with her starting over a year ago, starting in the baby room and the staff were so good with her and made the settling in period much easier. I love that it's such a clean and modern place
where I know she is safe as all the doors are locked so no children can wander off. She's learnt so much being there and that's down to the wonderful staff!

Review from Leanne M (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An absolutely lovely setting.
From day one, regular continuity and familiarity with all staff members, which I believe is key for development within early years.
My child has been here for over a year now, we relocated from another local outstanding setting, which wasn't living up to expectations
due to constant staff changes and class sizes - I wish we'd been here from day one.
All the team genuinely care for the little ones and go the extra mile, the nursery is incredibly accommodating and friendly.
My little one has some lovey bonds with the team.
The personalised app to show the individual children's activities, food log - really anything necessary/useful/helpful, is fantastic. It allows you an insight into your child's day.
There is the option to take the children out on day trips now and then (ie parks/museums), equally you can opt out if you wish.
I genuinely don't have a negative thought - my child loves it here and I know all his friends do too. 100% would recommend.

Such a wonderful nursery with welcoming staff from the moment you walk into the building until the moment you leave. The children appear happy and thriving with clear bonds and attachments for staff caring for them. My nephew runs into nursery with a big smile on his face and the handover when I pick
him up is so detailed, even though they have an app for parents to refer to their child's day.

My daughter started nursery at Tiddlywinks Nursery Bury in June 2020 and her experience has been amazing for me as a Mum, I love that I am always kept in the loop with my daughter's learning and experience at nursery. With the use of the app, I am able to see and track her progress and it makes me really
happy. They have an incredible selection of staff and childcarers who are always polite and informative. Overall, I am very happy that I chose Tiddlywinks Nursery for both me and my daughter.

My daughter loves nursery and always runs in to hug the closest member of staff. All the staff are extremely friendly and supportive and genuinely want to do everything they can to help the child progress. A couple of the things I really like about the nursery are the food is all fresh and homemade
and also the children have a lot of outdoor play and fun in the fantastic areas.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.548)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.548) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Bury is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.968 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Bury is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.968
  2. 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 4.58 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiddlywinks Nursery Bury is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.58
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
