Private day nursery based in Smallwood, Redditch.

Open 7.30am-6pm Monday to Friday – all year round only closing for bank holidays and a week over Christmas.

Providing a nurturing, fun and safe environment with lots of outdoor space in the heart of Redditch.

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.

As part of the ‘out of school’ provision, the nursery offers breakfast and after-school clubs and transport to and from some local schools. During school closures the nursery also offers holiday club facilities.

Tinkerbells Nursery promotes the learning and development of all children in their care. 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.

Professional giving all information needed to do with Covid-19 and the coming back period. Settled back into nursery straight away no fear. Care workers so friendly, caring and love their work. Always happy to help, bringing an amazing atmosphere.

I have had three children attend Tinkerbells over the past 9 years. They have been happy and well looked after by the caring staff. The manager is well experienced and has the best interests of the children at heart. I would defiantly recommend their nursery to others.

My son has had the most amazing time here. The staff are brilliant and so approachable. He started very shy and timid, and they have done wonders with him. I can’t thank all the staff enough for everything they do. I would highly recommend Tinkerbells.

My little boy has been going to Tinkerbells since he was 9 months old. Working his way through the room, he is currently in toddlers and moving to tweenies after Christmas. My little boy is hard of hearing and they have done everything possible to make his time at nursery as normal as possible. Facilitating
a visit from other organisations and listening to their advice where possible. The staff are just such lovely, caring and kind people. They care for my little boy like he is their own. And they are super approachable and understanding of my concerns when I talk about my little boy's development. They were really flexible as my husband worked shifts and this was a big help to my family. They do their very best to accommodate everyone’s needs.

Since my children have been going to Tinkerbells they have all developed in so many different ways. They are so much more confident and love going to nursery each day. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, making me feel at ease from the minute my children started attending Tinkerbells.
The management are always very accommodating and flexible with my needs regarding childcare. I couldn’t recommend Tinkerbells nursery enough. Thank you so much for all the support so far provided.

The staff are caring and approachable should you need to discuss anything. The management is professional, helpful and friendly, and ready to deal with any matter raised. My son has been attending since he was 9 months old and loves going to nursery, and I feel they have helped prepare him well for
starting school next September. He has built up close relationships with the staff and has made good friends with other children.
I feel confident when I leave my son that he is safe and well looked after, and I would recommend Tinkerbells Nursery to anybody.

Excellent care given to our daughter. Lots of different activities every day with indoor and outdoor play. Staff are very friendly and caring. Always happy to have a chat and explain what has happened each day. The menu is very varied and excellent value for money. Wow moments have been introduced allowing
conversation about personal experiences between children and nursery staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.762)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.762) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.762 for Tinkerbells Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.762

  • 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 22 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 22 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.
