  • 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.

I can't rate Tiny Tots enough! The staff are brilliant, always give amazing handovers at the end of every day and are always full of enthusiasm. The manager will go above and beyond to communicate with us and help with any questions or queries we have, she's fab! The nursery is inviting and I am very
happy with the care received I will continue to recommend it to any friends and family looking for childcare. Well done guys! Keep up the amazing work.

Amazing nursery and the staff are brilliant. I wouldn't ever send my son anywhere but here, my son loves it and he's settling in so well since January. Also was amazed, I've never seen a nursery so content when viewing!

My son loves this place. Every day we arrive in the car park he laughs and jumps, excited to go in.
I and my partner feel lucky to have such great care for our son and to have his key worker there too! My boy loves her, she helps so much with his development.
However, we want to thank everyone there
for the love and care our son gets.
Reply from Bonnie Badham, Nursery Manager at Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and HalfpintsThank you for your kind words. We love watching your son grow and come into nursery every day with a smile.

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.
Reply from Bonnie Badham, Nursery Manager at Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and HalfpintsThank you for this amazing review. We are so pleased you love our nursery so much. We are so proud of what we have achieved and love extra snuggles with the children to create a home-from-home environment.

Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints, love it! Amazing with both my children! They're both so happy going in and coming out! Sometimes upset to leave! Always keep you up to date with what the children have been up to! My youngest loves all the messy play and different activities they set up for
them! My eldest is in the preschool and loves learning and practising and playing lots!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Tiny Tots since August 2022.
I was apprehensive about moving from a child-minding setting to a nursery, but I couldn't be happier. Tiny Tots have been amazing!
My son is excited to share what he has been up to at the end of each day, learning new skills and developing at
a good pace.
The staff are incredible, knowledgeable and fun. We get an informative handover at the end of each day. The manager is kind and accommodating.
The Christmas light switch-on was a nice touch and a lovely experience for all the families to come together.
I highly recommend Tiny Tots.
Reply from Bonnie Badham, Nursery Manager at Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and HalfpintsThank you for your review, I am so glad you made the change to join our Tiny Tots family. We love watching your son grow and see how excited he is by all the activities in the nursery. Look out for our summer party too.

Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints is such a fantastic nursery. All the staff are incredibly friendly, but the staff in our child's room are just amazing!

Lovely nursery, staff are all very friendly and helpful. Really get to know the kids. Always send me photos or notes if my son is a little nervous when I drop him off to confirm all is okay. Extra bonus with the large soft play next door. The staff are just great. Thanks, Tiny Tots!

Tiny Tots has been a fantastic first nursery for our son who has been there 6 months now for 3 days a week. We have seen such a positive impact on the behaviour, development and overall wellbeing of our son. This is really down to his amazing key worker and all the other staff members at Tiny Tots.
It is clear to see they all genuinely care for the children and we can see that our son is fond of the staff too, which was comforting in the initial settling period. We love using the mobile app to keep updated with him during the day. The activities are varied and the option to go to soft play is a big plus for our energetic toddler. We recently had a 2-year review, as our son transitions to a room with older children, which was very helpful and informative for his development. We highly recommend Tiny Tots!
Reply from Bonnie Badham, Nursery Manager at Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and HalfpintsThank you for your wonderful review. Your son is doing so well here at Tiny Tots and we are pleased you are so happy with the progress he has made and thank you for the lovely comments about the staff and activities. I will pass this onto them.

I can’t speak highly enough for this nursery. My two children absolutely love going and have made some amazing memories. The staff are so kind, patient and fun. I feel so confident leaving them in their care for the day. It’s also a brilliant bonus that there’s a soft play attached which my daughter
at 3 years old, enjoyed so much! I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking!

I cannot recommend Tiny Tots highly enough! Both of our sons have been attending 2 days per week (3-years-old and 1-year-old) and we have seen a definite positive difference in both of them, in terms of their confidence and development. The staff (primarily their key workers) are all really lovely!
Both boys have developed a great relationship with them and I honestly feel they have both been very well matched. They are always professional, polite, friendly and kind and I couldn’t be more comfortable with our sons being in their care!

I have had the most positive experience with the nursery. The whole team couldn’t be friendlier and more helpful. They really put me at ease when my son first started and made the transition so wonderful. The activities that they offer and communication with parents is brilliant too. My son seems to

Such an amazing nursery! All the staff are so lovely and my little one enjoys going so much she puts her arms out for her teachers every morning.

We are very happy with the decision to send our daughter to Tiny Tots, and are very excited for our youngest to start in a few months time! The nursery is a lovely space, with excellent facilities, space to play outdoors and access to the soft play area next door. The staff are lovely, and have demonstrated
a great bond with our daughter - who talks about them all at length when she gets home. I really love that activities are varied and the children get an opportunity to go on occasional outings. Our daughter has developed and learnt so much since attending - much to the credit of the wonderful staff at Tiny Tots. Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child is in absolute love with this nursery. This is their new nursery, I was worried they would struggle after being elsewhere but I’ve never seen such excitement at drop off’s in the morning and happiness at pick ups! The staff are friendly, take time to talk about how the day went, what they
got up to etc. They pick a topic each week to focus on and make things relating to this and then use it for play. It doesn’t seem to be just a case or ‘drawing a picture’ or ‘playing with a toy’ - it all relates to the theme that week which is great. We are so pleased and are at ease completely; our littlest will also join soon and we cannot wait to see how they get on, they have had a taster session and loved it. I would really recommend this nursery.
Reply from Bonnie Badham, Nursery Manager at Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and HalfpintsThank you for your review. Your little one has settled in so well and we are delighted your family chose Tiny Tots. The staff follow the children's interests and chose topics that support this and extend their natural curiosity. We cant wait to welcome your next child.

Our 2-year-old daughter has been going to Tiny Tots for over 6 months and the care and support she receives every day is 5 star. The staff are always kind and friendly and seem genuinely passionate about the children's happiness and development. There is a really lovely culture - open and friendly.
There are so many activities, resources and themes, and they make good use of the lovely garden and nearby open spaces. They are very open so parents are welcome to look around and ask questions, they also have events where we are encouraged to visit with our child and meet with all the staff and parents, which has been so enjoyable. Every day our daughter is so happy both at drop off and pick up and this is testament to the hard work, kindness, care and relationships the staff have built with her. She loves it here and we are so grateful to the manager and all the team for everything they do, thank you all! I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.
Reply from Bonnie Badham, Nursery Manager at Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and HalfpintsThank you so much for your review. We work really hard to ensure that not only children but parents and families also feel part of our nursery family.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.591)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.591) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.741 for Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.741
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints is based on 14 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 = 3.85
    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, which has been reached with 14 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.
