31 March 2026
My son joined Tiddlywinks nursery in February 2026 and attends three half days a week. Although he is still not attending full sessions, he has settled in very well within a short period of time. We have already noticed a positive change in him - his confidence is growing, and he appears happy and
comfortable in the nursery environment.
Despite some initial challenges, the nursery team has been incredibly supportive. In particular, Maisie has made a real difference by helping him feel at ease and supported closely. Thanks to their care and patience, after just two weeks, my son has settled in well and now feels happy and excited to go to nursery.
We are very pleased with the progress he is making and truly appreciate the dedication and support from all the staff at Tiddlywinks.

Our child attends Tiddlywinks Hill Lane and has been in both baby room and toddler room.
They love going to nursery and adjusted well to going.
The nursery undertakes a wide range of activities such as messy play, theme play, storytelling and singing which is helping to develop their speech and
language.
We get regular concise updates from the staff about their day and the nursery offer a wide menu of healthy food options.
Most days the children play outside in the garden play area

I can't speak highly enough of Tiddlywinks. My daughter has been attending this nursery for 6 months and from the first day, communications have been clear and concise. Any issues or worries are also brought to attention and worked through. The app the nursery use to keep you updated through out the
day makes the world of difference and gives you peace of mind knowing when nappies have been changed, what they've eaten for the day and even simple things like washing hands and brushing teeth. My daughter loves going to nursery and has built a wonderful relationship with her key care givers. There's always some form of activity which keeps the children busy, including activities that you as a family can join in with from time to time. I really do feel like Tiddlywinks is extended family because they honestly truly care for all the children so much and you can see it at pick ups when the children don't want to leave.

Absolutely amazing nursery, they have been beyond brilliant with both of my children and go above and beyond constantly. Helpful, warm and kind staff with a real love for the children they care for! So pleased I chose to go with Tiddlywinks!

The nursery are amazing. I have 2 children at this nursery and the staff are like family and friends to my children, they are a big part of their lives and are fun, creative and professional at the same time. The nursery building provides plenty of learn and play opportunities from reading corners
to role play, tuff trays to get creative and messy. The rooms are clean and modern but homely. The outdoor areas are large and have plenty of equipment. They have an app for constant updates as to what the children are up to which is very important to me. Staff are very informative and communicate well, always a handover at the start and end of the day! My children love it here!

My daughter loves Tiddlywinks, all the staff are so amazing with her. I really trust them all. They were amazing with her settling in week and did not mind when I rang for updates. My daughter is so settled there now and is progressing so well. Couldn't recommend them enough.
24 March 2026
We are very happy with this nursery. The staff are kind, attentive, and create a warm and welcoming environment for the children. My child has grown in confidence and enjoys attending every day.
The nursery provides a great variety of activities that support learning and development, while still
making it fun for the children. Communication with parents is also excellent, and the team always keeps us informed about our child's progress.
It's reassuring to know that our child is in such a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for quality childcare.
Special Thanks to Greg - Manager, Claire - Key Carer, Sinead - caregiver

My son joined the nursery in January 2026 and currently attends three days a week. Even though he is not attending full sessions yet, he is settling in very well. We have noticed a positive change in him over a short period of time.
His confidence is gradually building, and he seems happy and
comfortable in the nursery environment. We are pleased with the progress he is making and appreciate the support from the nursery staff.

My son started at Tiddlywinks in November 2025. We are so happy that he has taken really well to the place. He has learnt and grown so much with the warm and attentive staff. Even when home, he talks of the wonderful experiences he has there. He engages in creative activities which have helped
develop his gross motor and communication skills. It's wonderful to see our child happy, confident and developing new skills in such a supportive setting.

Always friendly and happy staff. Key carers give many updates on how my son is doing each day. My son is non verbal so does require some extra attention to which he receives more than adequately. General manager Greg is also very good and has helped is with giving advice on daily routines.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our child has received at Tiddlywinks at Hill lane. From day one, the staff have created a warm, nurturing environment where he feels safe, happy, and excited to learn. We've seen such beautiful progress in his confidence, communication, and social
skills he's truly thriving. The activities are creative, engaging, and perfectly suited to his development. It's clear how much thought and love goes into everything they do.
A very special thank you to his wonderful key worker, Claire, whose patience, warmth, and encouragement have made such a positive impact on his journey. She truly sees him, supports him, and brings out the best in him every day. We're so grateful to have found a nursery that feels like a second home for our little one.

Tiddlywinks is an amazing nursery to be for any child. My kid learned many things there a developed some skills. She is became a new person. The staff is reliable, patient and professional
Thank you.

Tiddlywinks Hill Lane is the best nursery i have ever used. My youngest child went there for 3 years and now my granddaughter is attending. The members of staff are all great. They are very understanding and supportive and take great care of the children. Great communication as well. All
educational, developmental and nutritional needs of the children are being met at high levels. I could not recommend them enough. Do not hesitate to take your little one there.
14 October 2025
The nursery is overall an amazing nursery and I do believe all staff care for the children especially Greg the nursery manager, he takes a key role in each child's journey and this is what makes the nursery stand out a nursery manager who cares! My child's key worker Ellie is amazing with my child
and is very approachable and has a kind and friendly nature and i can not thank her enough for her continuous support with my child. My child enjoys spending time with Ellie and she supports my child's development and takes interest in his home observations too, the nursery has had a renovation and is looking amazing, the outdoor area offers different opportunities to the children. I love seeing the different activities that go on in my child's room and the different opportunities they get to engage in new and exciting activities. I moved my child here from another nursery setting which I was nervous about but honestly the transition has been amazing, would 100% recommend to all parents!

I can't rate Tiddlywinks Blackley (Hill Lane) enough. What really makes it a truely special nursery are the staff: The nursery manager is super efficient, fast to respond to queries and most importantly engages with the children himself - I often see him helping out, creating new activities and you
can tell he understands the needs of each child very well. Our son's key carer, who also leads the baby room, is absolutely outstanding. She has a naturally bubbly and joyful personality that instantly puts myself and my little boy at ease. Her high energy, consistent positivity, and nurturing approach helped our little boy settle in far quicker than we ever imagined. Beyond that, she knows him so well and recognises the subtle changes in his behaviour and development and responds in such a thoughtful and professional way. In summary, this nursery put the children's needs first and will bend over backwards to ensure they are happy, healthy and thriving there. They truly care. Thank you all!
