Honestly having seen 3 other nurseries in the area I genuinely couldn't have felt more at home with The Tots Team, the place was calm clean and you can tell the care the guys provide for all the children!! Now I understand the continuous 5 star reviews The Tots Team keep getting!

We couldn't be happier with The Tots Team! The staff are absolutely wonderful - so kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Our daughter settled in straight away and absolutely loves her days there. It's clear that every member of the team puts so much thought and heart into making the nursery a happy,
nurturing environment.
A real standout is the in-house chef - the meals are fantastic! Everything is freshly prepared, healthy, and so tasty that our daughter often tells us nursery food is her favourite. It's such a comfort knowing she's eating well-balanced, home-cooked meals every day.
The Tots Team has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the communication with parents is excellent. We feel completely confident that our little one is safe, happy, and thriving. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

The best nursery in Leeds, so impressed with the care and attention given from the staff. Noticed a huge change in my nieces behaviour, speech and interaction with other children. I love hearing about how her day went and everything new she's learnt. The facilities provided are great for learning and
play. Would definitely recommend to all parents and families.

The nursery is brilliant. The best I've found. The care, time, and effort they have for the kids are amazing. They're welcoming, honest and very friendly. They make us all feel like one big family and it's great to see such young children making such brilliant friendships and bonds with one another.
They always have activities and keep the children busy and happy. There is one small down side for us parents, which is. The kids can sometimes come home full of sand or paint, but that means the children have been having a joyful play with their friends and being creative, doing fun activities so I will definitely keep recommending this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A year ago I had searched and visited many nurseries around my local area. Having visited several I was left disappointed.
It has now been just over a year and my nearly 3 year old, who has been attending since the nursery first opened its doors, loves and looks forward to her every session ( even
asking to attend on her days off) and sometimes refusing to leave. Having only ever spent time with close family previously, my daughter settled in fairly quickly and became so happy and comfortable attending. She loves talking about her fun filled days and all her friends.
Every member of staff at Tots Team is so friendly, welcoming and always willing to go an extra mile.
Special credit and Thanks must go to the Directors and Management who really give the nursery a family feeling. Each always present to have a friendly chat whenever required and always ready to greet every parent with a smile.
The reviews speak for themselves. Cannot recommend enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Premier league childcare! We searched far & wide for the best nursery for our daughter. Visited 5 in Headingley & surrounding area's. For a year we were happy enough at another provider but with the opening of this place, the accessibility in being located close to the train station & a 7:30am start,
we were were too intrigued not to check it out. At the first meeting you could instantly tell this place was different. The staff were tuned into what we had to say about our daughters needs. Their focus on not just assisting educate our child but the main aspect on enjoying herself at the same time to help her grow. They have tailored sessions for her & she eats/sleeps her best life here. She is so happy & the feedback compared to other nurseries is on such a more personal level. The app is great for updates & we are so glad we made the switch. We were so worried about moving our little one & upsetting her routine but its been the best decision, wish we had found you sooner! Go Tots Team!

From the very first visit, I knew this was the perfect place for my child. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to get to know each child, creating a safe and welcoming environment where little ones can truly thrive.
The activities are so thoughtfully
planned - there is always a mix of creative play, outdoor fun, and learning opportunities that keep my child excited to go every morning. I've noticed such amazing progress in their confidence, communication, and social skills since starting here.
The facilities are bright, clean, and beautifully maintained, and the meals provided are healthy and varied. I especially appreciate the regular updates and photos, which give me peace of mind and allow me to share in my child's day.
It's clear that the team treats every child as if they were their own, and that makes all the difference. I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't say enough good things about The Tots Team! From the moment my baby started attending, I felt completely at ease. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in my child's well-being and development. Me and my husband look forward to drop offs and pick ups so we can catch up with the
staff.


The facilities are fantastic, with bright, stimulating classrooms and a wonderful outdoor play area. I've been so impressed with the range of activities they offer, from arts and crafts to messy outdoor play. My daughter has blossomed independently, socially and academically since joining.


What I appreciate most is the individual attention each child receives. The teachers take the time to understand my daughter's unique needs and learning style for example playing her favourite song if she's unsettled.
I always enjoying logging onto the app to see what my little one has eaten and got up to in the day (the pictures are the best)
I highly recommend The Tots Team to any parent.

Both my daughters had started together and the level of care in the transition has been heart settling. I love to see them so happy when I pick them up. They're always so excited to meet staff & also speak about them on days off! Prior to the Tots team I had visited numerous nurseries but nothing was
feeling right. My eldest daughter was super shy and it has just been the best thing ever watching her light up and feel confident within herself over the weeks!

My partner and I had seen 4 different nurseries before seeing and choosing the Tots Team and it's the best decision we've made! Our 2 boys have been attending for 2 months now and they have settled in so well. The centre is clean, they prepare fresh meals for the kids and the educators/ staff are amazing
super attentive, nurturing and patient! Sometimes our boys don't even want to come home with us at pick up haha but thats how I know that they really enjoy their time there. Definitely recommend the Tots team!

Enrolled my daughter and I honestly can't give enough credit to the team. The staff made sure that the transition process for my daughter was as smooth as possible. She's only 2 and first time away from home so I knew it was going to be tough. I was expecting lots of phone calls from her teacher but
thankfully she was happy and fit right in! I'm really glad at how comfortable she's become now. Excited to see the new friends she's going to make and the fun things she's going to learn. All in all, really happy with the nursery and would definitely recommend, it's new, the facilities are great and most importantly my child is happy.

I honestly can't thank the staff, the resources and how well put together the nursery is, two outdoor play areas, in-house sensory room and how comfortable they've made my little one settle, I love the little window in the back where the kids can see the trains at Headingley train station.

If you're looking for a nursery that gets everything right, The Tots Team Nursery is the one. Both my kids attend, and it's been the best decision we've made. The staff are amazing - warm, qualified, and so patient. My kids love the creative activities and come home excited about all they've learned.
The place is spotless (hello, 5-star hygiene rating) and super secure, so I always feel at ease. The meals? Fresh, healthy, and even my picky eater loves them. I also appreciate the regular updates throughout the day - it's the little things that make a big difference. With great outdoor play, flexible hours, and a team that genuinely cares, this isn't just a nursery - it's a second home for my kids. Book a visit - you'll see why it's so special.

I couldn't be happier with the experience my nephew has had at The Tots Team Nursery from the very first day.
The teaching is exceptional, particularly for toddlers. The staff create a perfect balance between fun and education, introducing foundational concepts through play-based activities that keep
the little ones engaged and excited. It's amazing to see how much my nephew has learned and grown in such a short time.
The staff are another highlight of this nursery. They are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, patient and genuinely invested in the well being of every child. The atmosphere they create is welcoming and supportive, making it a home away from home for the children.
I would wholeheartedly recommend The Tots Team to any parent looking for a nurturing, high-quality learning environment for their little one. It's a place where children thrive and parents feel at ease knowing their kids are in excellent hands.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.997)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.997) out of 10 for The Tots Team Nursery 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.997 for The Tots Team Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (286 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.997
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Tots Team Nursery is based on 24 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 + 0.1 = 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 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 24 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.
