We love Tiddley Tots! Our daughter is three and has been with them since she was 11 months old. The team are amazing, caring and professional. Elsa is blossoming with them and we could not recommend more. Thank you Toddley Tots!

We absolutely love Tiddley Tots. What is most outstanding are the staff, they are all brilliant - so kind, caring, energetic, thoughtful, patient, friendly and they truly delight in the progress and welfare of our son and the rest of his toddler friends.


They've also been super helpful with a raft

of allergy and digestive issues, adapting food options as/when needed and attentively sharing how each day goes.


8am-6pm is great. Location is brill. App and daily updates/pics are fab. Premises are really lovely and it's easy for them to visit various parks each day.


We are so so happy we found Tiddley Tots!

Our daughter has been going to Tiddley Tots in Stoke Newington for 3 days a week for 9 months since she was 8 months old - she is so happy there and we couldn't recommend it more.
She bounces in every morning with a huge smile on her face. Everyone who works there knows her personality well and she
has developed amazingly under their watch. They are attentive, caring and clearly highly knowledgeable. We are so grateful to everyone for making our daughter's nursery experience so happy - they go above and beyond. We could not be more impressed.
Her days are filled with messy play, trips to the park, arts and crafts, music, dance, reading, outdoor fun, delicious mealtimes - everything you would want a little person to be doing. She has very good naps there and finishes every meal.
We look forward to the thorough updates we receive at the end of each day. We love it there - it has the feel of somewhere very happy, and from our experience it certainly is.

A really lovely nursery that my son attended from 10 months to 4 years old. He loved his time there and made special connections with several of the staff. His days seemed fun-filled and he was always happy to attend. The outside space is relatively small but the nursery make up for that with many trips
to Clissold Park. Overall a good, nurturing, small and friendly nursery that I'd recommend.
Reply from Eszter Somogyi, Manager at Tiddley Tots Nursery Stoke Newington
Thanks a lot! We truly miss him at the nursery, but we hope that school is progressing wonderfully for him. We are sure that he has already formed many new friendships.

Tiddley Tots is a lovely nursery. My child attends the nursery three days a week. The manager and staff are a very good team, they have always got a smile, they make you feel welcome. My child has progressed a lot in all the areas of learning and is still developing and learning new things. I feel confident
in leaving my child at the nursery, every time I pick her up from nursery she always has a smile on her face and happy to be there. I would highly recommend this nursery to all the families around Stokey!

We have our (currently) 2-year-old toddler here for about a year during which he has progressed from baby room to toddler room. We are extremely satisfied - the nursery provides a stable, safe and stimulating environment for our child. They do daily outings to the surrounding parks, occasionally the
library or grocery shopping and do activities to stimulate the children's development (messy play, arts and craft, etc). The groups are small and there is a good children - teacher ratio. We couldn't be happier.

We couldn't be happier with Tiddley Tots Nursery Stokenewington. Our ten-month-old baby just started a month ago and the lovely manager and the entire staff team have made the process easy both for our daughter and for us as first-time parents. They have been kind and loving with our daughter and communicative
and responsive with us, giving us detailed accounts of her days, encouraging us to check in regularly during her settling period, discussing at length how she's doing and progressing. It has been incredibly helpful and reassuring. Our baby started loving nursery so quickly! She is smiley and happy when we pick her up every day, we can see that she has a wonderful relationship with the carers and we love seeing the daily reports on what she's been up to through the app at the end of each day. They have a wide range of activities, toys and games that they do and the children go to the park daily, which we really love! We would recommend Tiddley Tots Nursery Stokenewington to any parent!

My son attends nursery three days a week, and absolutely loves it! On his off days, I see how much he's learnt from the nursery. My son has recently been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The nursery manager and the key worker have closely identified ways to explore play in his unique individual
way. The nursery has been one of my biggest support systems during the time before the diagnosis, and my son's transition from home to nursery. The communication between the staff and parents is fantastic as you can see what your child is up to during the day through their app, and they also add photos that they take throughout the day. I would most definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who is in search of one for their child. It really is what they say, “home from home”.

Tiddley Tots Nursery has been amazing for my child, and also for us as parents. They are attentive, caring, and my son goes skipping into the nursery with the biggest smile on his face.
The staff are amazing and have excellent parent partner relationship - always willing to listen and give detailed
accounts of how my child's day has been.
The environment is so warm, calm and clean. The whole nursery has an extremely good aura around it.
I couldn't recommend Tiddley Tots nursery more, the staff and management have made what could have been a daunting experience leaving my child into a positive, fun experience, and I am forever grateful.

My son has recently started attending Tiddley Tots, and I've been really impressed. This is my first experience of nurseries, so I have nothing to compare it with but, for us, the staff are one of the most important factors at a nursery and everyone at Tiddley Tots has been so welcoming and friendly,
this is very reassuring for a first-timer. My son has settled in really well, and I do believe, the care and attention of the staff, from his first day, has played a major part in this. Time outdoors was really important to us, and they have a lovely little garden tucked around the back and, weather permitting, regularly take the kids for a stroll in the park, which is just great. They provide daily updates through a decent app, it includes a short summary of his activities and behaviours that day as well as details around feeding, sleeps and a few pics, which helps us stay connected with his day. Overall, I'm really happy with how things have gone and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

My little boy was 13-months when he started at Tiddley Tots. It was a difficult transition for us both, especially starting this new chapter in the pandemic, but the staff managed this transition wonderfully. I was reassured as a mother, and my little boy settled so quickly as a result. He is now nearly
18-months, and he loves nursery. If we say the word, he's at the door ready to go with all smiles. He is a joy when I pick him up every day. His development has come along wonderfully since starting nursery, and it is such a nice experience seeing him develop relationships with the other children and staff. All the staff are caring and kind. We are so happy we chose Tiddley Tots for my boy.

We are so happy our child is at this wonderful nursery. He has settled in so well there, and he loves his days at nursery; he is always excited to go. The staff are very caring and supportive, and he has a good rapport with all the nursery workers, as well as his key worker who is excellent and who
he is very close to. He has lots of personalised care from the staff. He enjoys playing in the different areas of the nursery with plenty of toys and activities scheduled, and they go on regular park trips. We are regularly kept up to date with the daily log and handovers. Our son has regular observations and has developed so well at nursery, he was walking a few weeks after starting and his language is improving daily. We feel very fortunate to have our son at Tiddley Tots, and it is very reassuring to know that he is being looked after in such a great place.

Highly recommend Tiddley Tots Stoke Newington if you're looking for a very caring, friendly "home" environment for your child. My son absolutely loves going; he loves all the staff, doesn't stop talking about nursery when he's at home and is so excited to get there in the mornings. They are extremely
attentive and strive to incorporate any of your home routines at nursery, for example, we've always signed with our son, and they were happy to learn and sign with him during the day. They have also been absolutely amazing while we've gone through potty training, happily following what we've started at home and being incredibly supportive and encouraging to our son. I love the small, family feel and can see how much my son has learned and grown since starting; he is absolutely thriving, and I feel very confident and comfortable when he is there that he is being well cared for, looked after and supported in his development.

Lovely little nursery in Stokey. The manager and the team are really relaxed and brilliant with our 1yr old.
They do lots of different activities inside and out, combining learning and play. The EYFS app is great to give you an insight and pics of what they've been up to, great to share with grandparents
too.
She loves going and is almost sad to see me when I collect her!
Strong recommend.

I couldn't recommend Tiddley Tots more. From our first visit before the nursery opened, we were struck by how cosy it felt. The setup and decor are so well thought through you feel like home. Lovely indoor space with 3 rooms adapted for each age group, a plethora of activities to stimulate their physical
and cognitive development, and a great outdoor space for them to explore. When our son started, we were directly seduced by the love and care of the key workers, as well as their creativity in setting up very diverse activities tailored to the needs and areas of growth of every child. Our son settled in immediately in this caring and stimulating environment. We noticed his motor skills and language developed really well since starting, and he is much better at socialising with other children. We really appreciate the attention and availability of the staff who answer the slightest concern/question we may have. We are also really pleased with how cultural diversity is celebrated.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.206)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.206) out of 10 for Tiddley Tots Nursery Stoke Newington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.881 for Tiddley Tots Nursery Stoke Newington is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.881
  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 4.325 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiddley Tots Nursery Stoke Newington is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.625
  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.
