  • Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints, Cirencester
At Tiny Tots Nursery they aim to provide a personal nursery service that exceeds the expectations and needs of every family that comes to them. Their setting is a welcoming environment for children, and they offer four separate rooms which will provide progressive learning opportunities as your child grows and develops.

Their mission is to consistently deliver the highest standard of care and they are dedicated to making each child's experience of their nursery happy, full of fun and stimulating. With the needs of each individual child foremost in their minds, their approach is holistic, considering each child's personality, interests, needs, family background, religion and culture.

Whilst they have created an outside space for the children to play, they are extremely fortunate to have both a large open green space (English Heritage Amphitheatre and park) and open woodland area on their doorstep, for regular outings. The children also benefit from access to the soft-play centre which features a wide range of play and sensory equipment.

Located on the outskirts of Cirencester, (less than 5 minutes' drive from the town centre), they have ample free parking for safe drop off and pick up.

Tiny Tots has exceeded my expectations. I was nervous about sending my son to Nursrey but the staff and setting have been brilliant. The communication on a daily basis from staff is fantastic and I happily drop my son off knowing he will be looked after.

I can't give a high enough rating to Tiny Tots. My 11 month old child has been there for just over a month and its been great. I was so worried (and guilty) about having to go back to work and hand my child over to other people but Tiny Tots has been fantastic. When we pull up in the car park and my
baby sees where we are, she starts beaming, she's always happy to see her key worker and comes home, clean, happy and tired. We get great updates during the day which is so reassuring and a little roundup on pickup so we know what she had been up to. She's had a few illnesses and the nursery have been brilliant with giving medication and contacting us with concerns. Can't recommend enough!!

The staff are all very caring at Rugrats and Halfpints. They welcome the children with enthusiasm in the morning, putting them at ease. The management team are all supportive and everyone answered any queries promptly. The children have the best time, getting the chance to go in the adjoining softplay.
They also love the garden day trips out (care home visits, to the park, etc.) and have fun activities organised for them, sometimes from outside groups even. You will be made to feel very welcome as a parent, being invited to a range of events. The app is also regularly updated, putting you at ease when apart.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended tiny tots since she was 11 months old and immediately settled in well. Her key worker in the baby room is an absolute superstar and so caring and kind with all the children. I also cannot fault her current key worker, who is fantastic! She has always loved it and literally runs
in and chats all about her day on the drive home. All the staff are amazing and genuinely so kind and caring. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone! They have a large indoor soft play available to them daily and do lots of arts and crafts and messy play, music etc. everything you could wish for. We were able to secure a term time place only which has been amazing as my husband is a teacher.

My two children love going here. They started as infants and absolutely adored their then key worker. Moving into the preschool room they have thrived and I cannot recommend the nursery enough. They're learning all the basics along with motor skills and even sign language. My daughter always tells me
how amazing her key worker is. My son's key worker is amazing with him on the few tantrum days he's had on drop-off. Another staff member was brilliant when medicine needed to be administered. The added bonus of the soft play centre next door is great too!

My little one has just joined Tiny Tots. She has been suffering with separation anxiety which has made it very difficult to leave her. The staff have been great at sending updates and photos throughout the day to provide reassurance that she is doing well. The set-up at Tiny Tots is lovely, clean and
modern and my daughter has been enjoying the food too.

Have nothing but good things to say about Tiny Tots Nursery. My little one started at just under 7 months old and she’s settled in so well. The bond she has with her key worker is amazing. She’s always happy at drop-offs and pick-ups. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.
I highly recommend
this nursery and cannot fault them. They always keep me updated throughout the day via an app, which allows me to know she’s happy and enjoying herself.

Tiny Tots is our first experience of using a nursery and they really have excelled. We couldn’t be happier to have chosen Tiny Tots for our little girl she loves her nursery day here. I can’t praise her key worker enough for always making contact if she has any questions and at pick up and giving me
all the updates of what our little one has been up to in the day. Thank you Tiny Tots.

Tiny Tots Nursery is our first and only nursery experience and choosing them has been the best decision. Our son has been attending for 7 months and he absolutely loves it! The confidence our shy little boy is gaining is so heartwarming and we are so grateful to all the staff for the time, love and
care they give towards both our son and us as his parents. It's clear to see that the staff adore the children they look after. Thank you Tiny Tots, we would be lost without you!x

Tiny Tots really is an exceptional nursery with kind and caring staff, I'm so glad we decided to send my 1-year-old here. The communication from the nursery manager and staff has been excellent from the first time we viewed the nursery to every day updates and emails from them. Any requirements we have
had they have listened to and are quick to respond. My daughter has only been there a short time but I can see her development coming along, she's very chatty and very happy when I pick her up. They even invited parents in for a Mother's day afternoon tea which I thought was such a nice touch, so I could chat with the team and see my daughter running around the room! Thank you so much Tiny Tots team for your hard work!

We have been sending our daughter to Tiny Tots since July 2021 and could not be happier with the service they provide for her. The staff are always very kind, helpful and caring and you know straight away that your child will be treated like they were their own. She absolutely loves going there, gets
excited on the journey there and even at the mention of it! She really enjoys the activities the staff plan and do with her and it has really helped with her development. She always comes home tired and fulfilled. We'd like to thank everyone at Tiny Tots for their amazing care, but a particular shout out to the staff who have looked after her the most.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Can't rate this nursery high enough. My first time ever using a nursery and they have set the bar very high. I was very nervous about leaving my 8-month-old daughter and returning to work. The manager was very communicative and very knowledgeable. The nursery looks, feels and smells fresh and clean.
The app they use for the children is a brilliant platform, easy to use and great to be able to see what they do throughout the day but also what they eat, when they sleep and have dirty nappies.
The baby room staff were amazing. My daughter isn't a great sleeper and needs lots of cuddles to get off to sleep and this was not a problem. One day she slept on one of the girls for 1.5 hours and that made me love it there even more.
My daughter loves it there and I feel very confident leaving her here. They go above and beyond, it's like having an extended family.
The owner must be very proud of what she and the manager have made of this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.406)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.406) out of 10 for Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 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 4.792 for Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.792
  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 4.614 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints is based on 9 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.714
  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.
