Review from Krishma K (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I sent my little boy here from June 2025 - he was 1 year old and I was returning to work.
He struggled at first to settle but with the care of the baby room he really settled in! He now goes happily into nursery and seems to really enjoy it! He gets to eat a variety of vegetarian food and they do
interactive play with the babies that relate to their home lives - they ask for pictures and favourite toys from home that they can do activities with the kids with.
The baby room staff are lovely with the kids, warm and very personal. They make the effort to know the child as an individual.
They also were flexible with my hours and the hours I could send my child in.

My son has been attending Tic Toc since he was a year old. The staff have always been wonderful and very caring/attentive to the children's needs. There were further improvements made when the new management took over in January 2022, with updated facilities and online communication tools. If you're
looking for a welcoming and community-based nursery, I would highly recommend Tic Toc.

My little boy has been attending Tic Toc Nursery Ilford since September, it is definitely home from home for us. I always feel at ease when I leave my son here and my son's keyworker, nursery manager, deputy manager and all the other staff genuinely care and all do an amazing job. Can't thank them all
enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
There are several good nurseries in East London and several poor ones, but we have found Tic Toc Nursery Ilford to be one of the best. My older daughter who is now 10, also went there from 9 months. My younger daughter has been attending since she was 2 years old and is now 4+, her speech and confidence
has grown. She has made a lot of friends and has a good relationship with the teachers. They learn something new every day and I love that they play outside in the fresh air every day (unless of extreme weather condition) which I think is very important. The staff are excellent, down-to-earth, lovely and above all, extremely capable. My daughter runs in every morning and as a mum, I feel relaxed leaving her there because I feel so reassured that she is going to be well looked after and have a lot of fun. A huge bonus is that they provide snacks and properly cooked meals included in the fee, making it much easier for any super busy, working mum.

After looking at numerous childcare options Tic Toc Nursery was the only one that met all my specific needs. My son has a nut allergy and all the staff have the relevant training - the team go above and beyond to keep my son safe and away from all triggers. The staff are really warm, friendly and highly
experienced. The building has been recently renovated and all the rooms are well equipped and the outside space is brilliant.

My little girl has been going to this nursery since she was 1.5 years old. She’s grown up to be a very happy and caring little girl now and is very happy to go to preschool every day. The staff have been very helpful throughout. They always listen to any concerns we might have and are always helpful.

My youngest has been with this place for a long time since he was 9 months old, but with new management from last year, he is still loving it. He has been forever telling me what activities and food (he loves food!) they have been doing/eating every day. Members of staff are professional and attentive
to every question we raised. We, as parents, feel he is also under the best care too. So because of this, we decided to keep him there until he starts reception!

My little one attended this nursery for a short period when I was in need of immediate emergency care. The manager was extremely helpful and flexible with settling him in, the whole staff team was so welcoming and I cannot believe how much he has flourished in a short period of time! He talks very fondly
of the staff and absolutely loved his time at the nursery, we hope to return very soon and my son cannot wait to go back!

Review from Nazma A (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After having a child who was born so close to the first lockdown, I was extremely anxious about how my baby boy (2 year old) would take to new faces and a new environment. I visited Tic Toc nursery and met with the manager and did a tour. I was gobsmacked at the brilliant improvements that the new management
had made - it was now cleaner, organised, structured and the new staff and the old staff just seemed happier and content. My child ran in and started to play with the cars and was straight away joined by a room teacher who started to build a bond straight away. I did the whole tour with my husband and elder child (who attended the same nursery but under a very different management) and my baby played and was happy. Settling in was great, he was happy and took part in the activities, the nursery teacher made my child feel so welcome and loved. I am so grateful to her and the whole team. Since joining, he’s sleeping better and talking more - thanks.

My little girl has been attending here for a little while now. She is very happy while being there and very happy when leaving! She is learning so much which she is always telling me about when we are on the way home. The staff are lovely and are always willing to talk to you about your child's progress,
whether it be a brief chat at the door or a phone call.

We came to discover Tic Toc nursery due to its convenient location. I am pleased to say that they have absolutely surpassed expectations. We started our baby here at 9 months due to my early return to work. They made her settling in so smooth and welcoming. She is so happy each day she attends and it
means less stress for us, knowing she is so well cared for. I cannot recommend Tic Toc enough. They have recently undergone a renovation to the highest standard, the nursery is clean and bright and just really lovely. All the staff are wonderful, a special recommendation for the staff in the baby room, our little one adores them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sending my first born to a new pre-school nursery was very scary at first but the teachers are so comforting, passionate and caring, my son actually really enjoys going every day. The best thing is that it’s a pure vegetarian nursery. As kids generally hate eating fruit and vegetables this really promotes
good healthy eating too. Will be sad to have my son transfer to another school in September, as we’re moving out of the area. But thank you to all the staff for doing everything they do.

My daughter has been attending Tic Toc nursery since December last year and I don't have any regrets. The nursery grounds themselves are amazing but the staff are even better. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and she always has a good day! I cannot fault them in any way.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.977) out of 10 for Tic Toc Nursery Ilford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.625 for Tic Toc Nursery Ilford is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.625
  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 3.352 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tic Toc Nursery Ilford is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.227
  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.
