In me and my husband's experience the staff are friendly and hardworking. We get updated on our grandson's progress every week. The building and facilities are really good for the children there. And add to an enjoyable experience for the children.

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 eldest child previously attended and now my 1-year-old attends. I wouldn’t have considered anywhere else! The staff, activities, learning, updates and food (I could go on) are all brilliant and both my children have absolutely loved attending. Would highly recommend it to any parent looking for childcare
in the area.
Reply from Jess Crowe, Deputy Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery BuryHi Jenny,
Many thanks for your lovely comments. We absolutely loved having your eldest child here with us and we are so excited to be a part of your daughter's journey as she transitions through the nursery.

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.
Reply from Jennie Mansell, Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery BuryThank you so much, Nicola, for your lovely comments. It's great to hear this, we love being a part of the children's journey.

The nursery is amazing, and the staff are too and show the core values that we look to teach our children daily. The children love it and are always excited to be coming to learn and play. It has played a key role in the development of our children as they progress. All the staff are friendly, approachable
and always greet with a smile. The nursery is very bright and has lots of space for the children to play. If it was a restaurant, it would be classed as Michelin-star.
Reply from Jennie Mansell, Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery BuryThank you so much for your lovely comments, Paul. We really do have the most dedicated team and always try our best to be the best that we can be.

The nursery is a 10/10 nursery. My kids have the best time. We moved her from one in another area, and it was the best decision we could have made. This is the best nursery in the area, and the staff really care about the kids. It's not money, money, money.

My son absolutely loves going to Tiddlywinks Nursery Bury, the staff are excellent.
Love the fact we use the app for updates during the day. Also always get a report of an evening when we pick him up.
Potty training was made a lot easier for us after teething problems at home, but with the help of
the nursery, all is good now. Really great job done by all staff.

The staff at Tiddlywinks are fantastic and my daughter loves going. She has a great bond with her keyworker and some of the other staff in the baby room but all of the staff are friendly and it has a real family feel. My little girl has come on so much in every area since starting at Tiddlywinks, they
are very creative, put lots of effort in and the app for getting updates throughout the day is amazing, can't recommend them enough!

My daughter has been at Tiddlywinks since she was 9 months old and she really enjoys her days at nursery, she loves to tell us all about the activities she has done that day when we pick her up. The staff are brilliant and very helpful, they send updates throughout the day via the app, which includes
updates on meals and sleep too. We are also are kept up to date with her progress with observations and assessments on the app. I would definitely recommend Tiddlywinks, it really is an excellent nursery.

Every day she comes home and tells me about all the different things she has done.

I would definitely recommend
this nursery to my friends and family and will be sure to use them again in the near future.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter had been at Tiddlywinks for nearly 3 years since the age of 1. I cannot recommend the nursery and staff highly enough. My daughter adores her keyworker, who takes such an interest in every single child in her care, and goes out of her way to ensure they are happy, learning and gives parents
daily updates on how they are doing way above what you would expect. I have never had a bad experience or a reason to complain or give any sort of feedback that hasn't been positive, and this goes for every area of the nursery.

Tiddlywinks is a fantastic nursery which we would recommend to anyone. The staff are brilliant, trained and professional. They truly care about my children and are always very supportive. The nursery provides a very bright environment, full of little themed displays and activity corners. They are very
proactive and always celebrate various events and different cultures.

My son will be leaving (graduating) this July after 2-years here.


Since day one, I felt they listened to me and catered for my son's needs - I felt he was more than ready to move up a room rather than starting in the younger room for his age, and they agreed.


His development has just kept on

and on, and I feel so confident sending him to school knowing HE is confident and capable.


He was crying most days, to begin with, but it soon stopped (he had a bad time at a previous nursery) now he gets up in the mornings with a smile on nursery days and gives me a cheery wave goodbye.


Every member of staff has helped my son settle in and feel part of the nursery. I have seen every staff member across the 2-years, and I’ve not seen one that looks unhappy to be there.


He has made friends and has really grown into a happy, clever, social and confident "big boy".

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.890)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.890) 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 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 4.952 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Bury is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.952
  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 4.938 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiddlywinks Nursery Bury is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.938
  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.
