We're really happy with the care our daughter gets at this nursery. The staff are friendly, kind, and genuinely care about the children, which made settling in really easy for her.
They take the time to get to know the child properly, and it shows in the way they support and encourage them. Our daughter
has grown so much in confidence and social skills, and always comes home happy.

My twin boys have been attending the nursery for over a year now, and I can honestly say they seem very happy and have developed so much. I was very nervous and anxious initially as they are my first, and I felt guilty for leaving them for the whole day; however, the excellent, caring and very friendly
staff reassured me.

Our son started in the baby room at Tic Toc. He loves his nursery, especially the staff that show him so much love. It has made returning to work much easier as we know he is well cared for. He has recently moved to the toddler room and we are excited to see his progress. Highly recommend this nursery!

Tic Toc Nursery has been great with Sami, he started when he was 12 months old and they were extremely caring and comforting. Sami has changed so much over the past 9 months, using many words, singing, eating etc. The team are always really friendly and approachable. We would totally recommend joining.
Also anytime we have needed to communicate they have been very responsive.

Very nice day at nursery. Nice opportunity to meet other childrens and parents. Tic Toc nursery has been nursery for my 2 kids since they were babys. I am very happy with the staff, they are very happy to go nursery and do all the activities. My kids have become very independent and the nursery has
helped with their development.

Our daughter joined at the age of 10 months and eased in very quickly thanks to the staff. She has thrived and become more confident in the last 11 months. She plays with kids and has learnt so much. The staff understand her habits and personality as if she is in a 1-2-1 setting. The office staff are
very friendly and always help where needed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. My daughter started attending in April this year, and the change we've seen in her has been truly amazing. Her confidence has grown so much in such a short time, and she now looks forward to going each day with a big smile on her face.
The teachers are incredibly
loving, patient, and attentive. They genuinely care about each child and take the time to understand their individual needs and personalities. It's so reassuring to know that she is in a safe, nurturing environment where she feels supported and encouraged to be herself.
The activities are engaging, fun, and clearly designed to help children learn and develop through play. I've noticed huge improvements not only in her confidence, but also in her communication and social skills.
As a parent, it gives me complete peace of mind knowing she is happy, cared for, and thriving. I'm so grateful to the wonderful team for all the love, dedication, and hard work they put in every day.

Review from Sonia A (Mother of Child) published on 7 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at Tic Toc in the baby room in Jan 2023. We found the staff so incredibly dedicated and genuinely loving towards the children that when our 2nd child was born there was no question of her attending anywhere else. She is currently 17 months old and in the baby room. She is always happy
to attend and flourishing and even though our son started reception in September he always wants to return to see his teachers. What a blessing these women are! I could not imagine leaving my children with anyone else.

My son has been attending since he was 10 months old and he took to the staff from the very start. Always leaves happy and is always greeted with cheerful staff. He has really come a long way in his development also. You can tell the staff are really in tune with the child's needs. And even when I see
other children being picked up by their parents, they always leave with a happy smile. The staff are all great.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.769) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.869 for Tic Toc Nursery Ilford is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.869
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tic Toc Nursery Ilford is based on 16 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 = 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
