I am very happy with this nursery. The staff are kind, caring, and supportive. My child feels safe and comfortable here. The environment is clean and well organised. I have seen great improvement in my child's confidence and learning. The teachers communicate well with parents and always keep me informed.
I highly recommend this nursery to other families."

My son has been attending this nursery for the last 2 months. Having it been his very first time going to a nursery. At first he was very shy and would get quite upset. But with the help and encouragement from all the loving staff, he gets excited to go to nursery now. I love the app they use to communicate
and love that I can see what I can see what he has done throughout the day, also what he has ate and how much. He always comes goes to nursery and come home with a smile on his face. And loves the 1to1 he gets with his key worker aswel and the other staff that always go extra mile if he needs it.

Review from J P (Father of Child) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has been at Tiddlywinks for nearly three years.
We've watched her grow in confidence, build friendships and learn (especially nurturing creativity)with huge influence from the Nursery Practitioners.


Tiddlywinks is the right location, away from busy roads and surrounded by wildlife yet

with easy access for their little trips to town or the park.


The professional manner and care towards the children and parents is exceptional, any issue we have had has been dealt with with empathy and professional service.


The food is fresh and never repetative.
And the cleanliness of the corridors, reception and rooms is amazing.


We'll be sad to leave this year but knowing full well our child has had the foundations laid to excel in life.

Our daughter her has just left Tiddlywinks Walmersley after 3 years there. From the baby room to pre school our experience has been excellent. Communication and the setting/rooms are excellent. The managemet and the team are wonderful, always there to answer any questions and queries being so supportive.
Our daughter has developed and progressed so much over her time there. We cannot thank the team enough!

Tiddlywinks Walmersley have been great with my little boy. As a nervous first time mum, I was put at ease instantly. From stay and play sessions to themed days, there's always something going on. He's learnt so many new things since starting and that's a credit to the staff who are always so attentive
to him. I look forward to the next few years of him at Tiddlywinks.

She has formed amazing bonds with the ladies and little friends within her group.
I feel like they really know my daughter and understand her character and she is flourishing in pre-school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery since April 2024. At the beginning she really struggled with adjusting being away from me but the staff in her room were so patient with her and set up a plan to slowly get her used to her new setting at her own pace. After the settling in period she started
to really thrive, making great relationships with the staff in her room as well as socialising with children in her age group. All staff that have cared for my daughter have been fantastic and just ooze with care for the children they care for. The new activities that are set up in the children's room everyday ensure a fun learning experience. Management are always helpful and friendly and answer any questions you may have. What I also like about this nursery is that each month they have a few days dedicated to something encouraging the children to dress up, wear a certain colour or accessory which gives the children something to look forwards to.
Reply from Paige Wilde, Nursery Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery WalmersleyThank you so much for this incredible review, we are so thankful to be apart of your child's experience! I can't wait to pass this on to our whole team, many thanks.

I had changed my child's nursery and since starting at Tiddlywinks Nursery my child has come on in leaps and bounds. He has developed in a short space of time. He loves going to nursery as the staff are so friendly and caring. I find the staff easy to talk to and very welcoming and always make me feel
at ease. Fantastic nursery highly recommend.

My daughter has attended this nursery just over a year now. From the minute she started, I felt comfortable leaving her knowing she was going to be well taken care of. The detail on handovers at the end of the day and sharing updates of what my daughter gets up to on a daily basis, is great to see.
She recently went on a trip to Manchester City Centre, which was great for her to experience. She always talks very highly of pretty much all of the nursery staff (anyone she has come across) and I have been able to see where staff have really made the effort to bond with my daughter. I would be more than happy recommending this nursery. Our experience has been amazing.

My son has attended Tiddlywinks since he was seven months old, they have always gone above and beyond for his care. He has additional needs both learning and medical and the girls have always kept him safe. The care that they have given my boy has been amazing. They have been a support network for both
me and my little boy. I can't thank them enough, his face when I pick him up from nursery is a picture he enjoys every day he's there and the attention and care to detail the staff give the children is just amazing. The warm welcoming atmosphere each day we attend allows me to leave my son there cared and looked after by an amazing group of people.

We couldn't be happier with our choice to move our 18-month-old from his previous nursery to Tiddlywinks, straight away from our initial visit we felt at ease, all the staff are warm and friendly and treat our boy like their own. The app is brilliant, we're updated with pictures and development steps,
putting us at ease while we're at work. The facilities are great and they have chickens which our boy is fascinated with. We highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.989 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.989
  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 4.958 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley is based on 23 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.958
  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.
