It is a longstanding private nursery with an experienced and skilled team of staff who are dedicated to providing the best care for children.

Children at Tinkerbells can expect to experience a wide variety of learning opportunities which extend the children’s interests, learning and development.

The team strongly believes children learn and flourish when they are at play and enjoying themselves and this is scaffolded and supported by the experienced staff.

Tinkerbells provides a safe and caring environment where children can have fun, make friends, grow in confidence and gain skills which provide a strong foundation for their start to school.

They recognise that each child is an individual and the highly qualified staff consider their needs, interests, and development to plan a challenging and enjoyable experience across the areas of learning and development. The aim is to support all children attending the nursery to attain their maximum potential within their individual capabilities.

The nursery implements the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) set by the Department for Education that sets standards to ensure all children learn and develop well. They support and enhance children’s learning and development holistically through play-based activities.

My son has been at Tinkerbells for nearly 3 years. He is growing up so well and with help from the staff he is learning every day. He has shown a likeness to a few staff members, and they are always happy to share the same.

Tinkerbell Nursery has been brilliant with my son. All of the staff are very friendly and always have time for all parents and children. The head of nursery and deputy head of nursery are the most helpful and kind people you can talk to them about anything and they will listen and help in any way they
can.

Cannot fault this nursery! Son has been going there for 2 years. Brilliant and caring staff. The food is reasonably priced and really good. They always have great things for the children to do. The mud kitchen has been a great addition.

My daughter is nearly 4 she's been attending the nursery since she was 1, I kept her here instead of a state school purely because she loves it and has so much fun. She skips into the nursery every time and adores all the staff even the office staff where she goes in every time to tell them how her
day was and to thank them for having a great day. I will be sad to see her leave when the time comes as I drop her off and I know she's safe and having the best time whilst learning new things.

I am very happy my daughter went to Tinkerbells Nursery. The staff are so friendly and polite. I wouldn't choose any other nursery to send her to and it will be sad to leave. Kids have lots of activities and spending time in the garden. My daughter always finishes her food so I guess must be a good
cook out there.
Tinkerbell Nursery is always clean and tidy.
Any problems they help you out.
Highly recommend.

Best in childcare education. The staff are so welcoming and great standard of quality childcare. My son always loves to go to school because he's been treated well. Even his off days, he puts on his shoes and bag and takes his bottle and goes like 'Mama school'.

From the minute we were looking around the nursery in 2023 for our little boy, we just had a good feeling that he’d be well looked after. We chose this one before we looked at any others, going on a year since,he joined, I can honestly say I am happy with how they support him and he loves it every time
he goes in. His speech has developed so much better since being there and the staff are amazing!

Tinkerbells is the best nursery, all four of my children have gone there. All the staff are wonderful and are always happy to help when needed, they have done a fabulous job with looking after my children. My child that is there at the moment is 11 months and the staff in his room are so lovely, my
boy is always happy and is cared for really well by them.

Both of my children have been coming to this nursery since they were 9 months old and now they both attend morning and after-school clubs and also in the holidays. Both children love it at Tinkerbells Nursery and the staff are all amazing and the support they give you and always will do what they can
to help you out, not just for the children but the parent as well. I wouldn't choose any other nursery to send them to and it will be sad when the children are not young enough to go anymore.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Tinkerbells Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.786 for Tinkerbells Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (275 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.786

  • b) 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 Tinkerbells Nursery is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 88 number of registered child places is 17.6, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
