All the staff are very warm, welcoming and approachable. There are regular daily updates via the app, of your child’s progress and on collection, the staff always have the time to listen and answer questions. Good home-cooked hearty foods are provided on the menu weekly. My child is always happy going
to nursery and he has good relationships with the staff there, who always meet his needs and beyond.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Tiddlywinks have really helped my partner's son come on massively over the last few months. They keep us up to date with what he is doing, what he is eating and how his days have been. As he has needed a little support over the last few months they are all doing the best they can to help him settle
and we are all so thankful for every single staff member here. The staff here go above and beyond for the children and will do anything they can to make them feel welcome and settled. We think he has come on leaps and bounds since coming here. The staff are not only helping my partner's son but also helping both sides of the family in what we can do as a whole to help and showing us home activities which we can use daily to help him. Me and my partner would recommend the nursery to everyone.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Both of my children - one nine-year-old and one two-and-a-half-year-old, have been going for years and thoroughly enjoy going. The before and after school clubs have lots of activities to do and the holiday club always has a great contact that she enjoys. My two-and-a-half-year-old
always comes home with lots of stories about her day and is advanced for her age, due to the care and attention of all of the staff.
The new management team have changed lots of things for the better and the staff are extremely helpful and understanding if I ever need to discuss any concerns that I have. All of the staff are extremely friendly and always look very happy in their work.
Reply from Katie Cryer, Nursery Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery WalmersleyThank you Tessa for such a lovely review. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to the staff team.

I cannot express how much I would recommend this nursery. My little girl is always happy when I drop her off and collect her, she has a bond with her keyworker who went above and beyond to ensure she was settled and that I felt comfortable leaving her. The management are always on hand if I need advice,
and every staff member that has greeted me has always been friendly and happy. The fact I get regular updates on my little girl's day-to-day activities and I can see what she is learning and doing makes me feel at ease. I wouldn't send her anywhere else.

My little boy has different needs to other children and doesn't settle well with strangers or social circles but the team here have been second to none with him and he absolutely loves coming to nursery. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. My son has come on in leaps and bounds since
starting here and I can't thank them enough. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone - they are outstanding.

My daughter started at this nursery just after her 2nd birthday and was incredibly nervous and struggled to transition into nursery but the staff here are amazing! The management team treat you like your child is the only child there, which fills you with confidence that your child is being cared for.
My daughter had two key workers over the 11 months she was there both of which completely understood her and made her feel incredibly settled, nurtured, and safe. Can’t speak highly enough of Tiddlywinks’s Walmersley. Thank you all, we’ll miss you!
Reply from Katie Cryer, Nursery Manager at Tiddlywinks Nursery WalmersleyThank you for your lovely review Lysa. We will miss you all lots too and wish you lots of luck on your next journey. We hope to see you all soon. Thanks, Katie.

Tiddlywinks is a brilliant nursery, and my little girl loves going twice a week. Her speech and understanding have come on so much since she started, and the staff in the tweenies room have really supported her to become more independent without her comforter. I have no doubt she will continue to make
great progress at Tiddlywinks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise this nursery highly enough. My 2-year-old gets excited as soon as he knows he’s going, and it’s a lovely feeling knowing he’s so well cared for whilst I’m at work.
They keep me updated with regular contact via the parent app, so I get to know everything that he is doing from meals to
activities and see photos of him via this.
They always go the extra mile and gave out flowers for Mother’s Day, which I thought was a lovely touch.
Would highly recommend it!

My review doesn't really have a time scale on it, it's just been since my son started there. The staff go above and beyond for both children and parents. My son's room girls have been supporting us both at nursery but also at home. They always have an alternative if something isn't working, and just
so supportive and encouraging with him. When the nursery changed over from previous owners, my biggest fear was the staff would be going too. Well, I'm glad they didn't.

We absolutely love Tiddlywinks Nursery. Both our girls currently attend, and both have settled so well. Our youngest daughter was born during the lockdown, and it was such a relief when returning to work to know she was going to a place where the team would care for her with love, and she would be having
fun every day. She loves it just as much as I knew she would.
Our eldest daughter is in preschool, and she loves going to the nursery every day, she is learning so much and loves playing with all of her friends. As a parent, it is reassuring to know she will be ready for school both academically and socially when the time comes.

From the moment I first made contact with the office, I was reassured that they would be able to provide the right environment for my children to flourish. They have proven this 1000%!!


The ways in which they have brought my children on in all areas is exceptional, every member of staff within the

setting is an absolute credit to their profession and very dedicated to shaping young minds. They get to know the children as individuals and learn how to enable their growth to their maximum potential.


I would absolutely recommend the setting to everyone looking to enrol their children as they have proven to lead the way in child development. I am able to go to work knowing that my children have the best possible care and the perfect setting to thrive.

My daughter attended the nursery until she started school in September and my little boy has attended since he was five and a half months old. I could never run out of positive things to say about the nursery. If you simply want excellent child care and friendly, supportive trustworthy staff at affordable
prices then this is the nursery for you, I couldn’t imagine my children going anywhere else!

My daughter loves it here and we can’t thank the nursery enough for everything they do for her! This month of February was my daughters third birthday, so they made it so special and let us take a cake in and the parent app showed us what she was doing all day with her friends! Such a great idea! My
daughter is so settled and has now started pre-school, so she is looking very grown-up! The staff are great with her and she has friends for life to go up to school from there! We are so happy that she is and can’t thank you all enough! I would recommend this nursery to anyone, even if they had the extra time to travel. Thanks again.

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.
