I would like to say a big thank you for all working at Tiny Toes in particular a big appreciation for Ellie, Rachel and Sabika for the great handover and feedback at the end of the my daughter day. I can definitely see her getting more comfortable, confident and happier since coming to nursery.

Tiny Toes has been very helpful for my child's development. The activities are engaging, and I've noticed real progress since we started. It feels like a trustworthy resource for parents looking to support their little ones in a meaningful way.

Lovely setting, garden could be better if there were trees and soil/grass but that is only my opinion as I believe it is better for children's development to engage with a natural setting.
The place always looks clean when I visit and there are some additional touches which I love such as the bowl
of fruits by the entrance were children can help themselves to whatever they fancy and the library corner where you can borrow books.
However, there are things which could improve such as the fact that items become misplaced often (eventually found but after few days) and I can understand how that is difficult to manage as children leave their belongings anywhere and everywhere; some staff could use with more training/exposure maybe as they do not seem to know how to distract a child that is upset when being brought to nursery and I believe that happens quite often therefore a valuable skill.
Handovers could also be more structured rather than a general summary of "a good/not so good day"

My granddaughters love attending the nursery. They have a lovely varied day to suit their pace and have lots of educational learning as well as peer group learning. The staff are very attentive to the children even though at times particularly dropping children off and collecting them is somewhat
busy, however staff always seem to manage these busy times. The girls have developed a strong bond with the nursery staff and occasionally it is a slow process to take the girls home. It is a lovely nursery and suits the girls well.

It's been almost 3 months since my daughter started attending Tiny toes.
She had a difficult first few weeks and is at the stage when separation anxiety hits the most, however staff deals with it brilliantly to make sure she settles in!
She is happy, getting confident with her eating and gets to
explore a variety of activities supporting her development.
Nursery setting is beautiful, clean, spacious and safe, I recommended this nursery to a few of my friends as well as children are definitely in good hands at Tiny toes.

We're so happy with this nursery! N has settled in so well all thanks to the amazing staff. They are all so lovely, caring, and genuinely attentive to every little detail. The level of personal care they provide really shows, and it's clear how much they care about each child.The nursery itself
feels very safe and secure, and N always has such a great time there. She looks forward to going every day! There are so many fun and interactive activities that keep her engaged and happy.The communication from the nursery is excellent too! The updates we receive are always so thoughtful and detailed. It's wonderful to see what N has been up to and how much she's enjoying herself.
We couldn't be happier truly a fantastic nursery with a wonderful team!

Would like to praise Rachel for her support with my son. Rachel always helps with settling him in the morning, as at times he can find this difficult. I often miss her on handover in the evening, and Rachel makes sure to send me a detailed handover using the app.
Thank you, Rachel for supporting
my son and ensuring he is settled and happy.

As a parent, finding the right nursery for my child was one of the most important decisions I've had to make, and I can honestly say we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very first day, the staff at have been warm, caring, and incredibly professional. My child has settled in so quickly
thanks to the nurturing environment and the genuine attention every member of the team gives. The communication is excellent too, we receive regular updates, photos, and an in-depth handovers upon each pickup. It's clear the staff truly care about each child's wellbeing and individual needs. Thank you!

Our son has been attending this nursery for just a month, but we're already so happy with our experience. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, creating a warm and nurturing environment that helped our little one settle in surprisingly quickly. His main carer, Richelle is absolutely amazing -
she's patient, caring, and truly attentive to every detail. It's clear that she genuinely loves working with children, and our son already feels very comfortable and happy in her care. Even in such a short time, we've noticed positive changes in his confidence and social skills. We feel very reassured knowing he's in such good hands. Highly recommend!

I was looking for about 3 months or even more to catch space for my son. When I saw an advert of Tiny Toes why not to try. For following next day or even same day I get phone call if i would like to have look around with my son and reserve space if we would like it. To be honest this is the best day
care which I could choose for my son even I can see he is happy staying there and he gets used to them really quickly. Even on first day when you just coming in you feel they are safe and feeling like in home. If I would need to refer to any parents a day care this is the one which I would send them to.

Everyone at Tiny toes has been so patient with me and my incessant need for information. Many thanks to Molly who always answers my questions kindly and seems to know whats going on with every child every day, to Caira and Rochelle for always giving detailed handovers to me. Caira always has time to
give me extra info and in such detail you can tell she really pays attention to and knows every child. Thank you all in the cubs/koalas room for making my return to work so easy and for helping A thrive, and to the chef for all her hard work making amazing meals for so many every day.

Both my children have attended tiny toes from start to finish and even used to attend big foot.
The staff have always gone above and beyond. Management are always on hand if needed. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery from quite young, his brains amazing. From new songs to
cooking and the outdoor play space is brilliant. I'm kept up to date with news and upcoming events and changes etc which helpful. The online app is an added bonus from toilet visits to what he's eaten throughout the day. I do feel more specific activities could be done on a daily basis and records of this for parents e.g pics?
Cleanliness is always 10/10 they take great pride in this.
A big thing for me has always been leaving my child/children in someone else's
care. From the very first day my sons started I've been reassured, heard and understood which is hugely comforting because I never have any worries or concerns.
Thank you to Tony toes :)
