Review from T V (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

My little boy has settled into nursery so well, I felt at ease leaving him with the staff at Tiddlywinks as my eldest also attended and everyone is so lovely. My little boy has only been at nursery for a few weeks and already has such a lovely bond with his key worker, he is her little shadow. Thank
you to everyone who has made his settling-in period so easy and relaxed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Katie Cryer, Nursery Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery WalmersleyThank you Sarah for such a lovely review. I am so pleased with how happy you are with the care we provide and how well your son has settled with us! I will pass this on to our staff team. Many Thanks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After visiting 5 different nurseries in the area for my 8 month old and not feeling the right vibe I decided to look a little further out to Tiddlywinks and I am so pleased I did. From the ambience in reception to meeting all the women who work there it is clear to see why they have an outstanding Ofsted
report. They treat my son like their own and he absolutely adores them. Receiving regular pictures and detailed updates on his development is amazing. It’s truly so much more than just childcare. As someone who didn’t think I’d ever be able to leave my child in anyone else’s care due to anxiety, we have already increased his days from 2-3 and will be increasing to 4 as he gets older. We live hours away from any friends or family so Tiddlywinks has become our village and we are so grateful to them for giving our son an incredible environment to thrive.

Our two children have been at Tiddlywinks Walmersley for six months now and we are delighted with our choice. Our children are happy, thriving, developing and excited to go in each day. The variety of activities and trips sets it apart from other childcare settings. The staff have formed close relationships
with our children and go above and beyond in their care.

When I looked around Tiddlywinks Nursery in Walmersley, it was a lovely experience. The staff are warm, friendly and welcoming, they were proud to show off their wonderful work and lovely environment. The nursery felt like a safe and happy place and ultimately this is why I chose it. My child started
in February 2024 and has really settled in. The ladies are lovely with her and welcome her in with a smile every morning. The app is amazing as it keeps you up to date throughout the day! On collection, the handover is amazing, very detailed and informative. My child is very happy here and enjoys going to nursery.

Fantastic nursery. My daughter who is 19 months and in the baby room loves it here. The staff are always kind, caring and helpful. They helped her settle in so well and she is thriving thanks to the nursery. My 6-year-old daughter uses the out-of-school club which she loves. The nursery has allowed
me to work knowing both my children are in safe hands.

They are all the best! They care so much about the well-being of your children the education is brilliant my little one has learnt so much and more importantly they have allowed her to go at her own pace. Making me feel at ease that I’m not doing anything wrong. They have shown my little girl how to
care for animals by having chickens, rabbits and a tortoise which I believe is something that should be encouraged at a young age. They do stay-and-play sessions so we can spend time understanding what they do and it gives us an opportunity to play with them. They also do parent gatherings to give us an overview about how our child develops when I speak to my friends their nursery doesn’t do these things. It’s very homely and feels like myself and my little girl are part of one big family.

It’s a massive deal leaving your baby for the first time when returning to work but I wouldn’t leave my baby boy with anybody else. From the very start, he has been so settled and the staff make such an effort with him. It’s very clear how much they care. The management makes everything so easy and
is really approachable, any issues are sorted straight away and it completely puts your mind at ease knowing it’s so well run.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.990)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.990) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.990 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.99
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley is based on 26 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, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
