After a bad experience at another nursery we enrolled our baby at Tiny Toez @ Cannock Chase and I can't believe how happy and well looked after our baby is. The staff are warm and caring and clearly take a lot of pride in caring for the children. The staff are knowledgeable about our baby's needs and
are keen to share the progress our baby makes at nursery. The staff really go above and beyond.

My son joined in September 2024 after moving to the area and having to change nurseries. He settled in from day 1 and ever since has run in happily. All staff are very friendly and helpful. I particularly like how you can go into their room when picking up as you catch a glimpse of them interacting/playing
before they see you which wasn't an option at the previous nursery setting. They do a variety of activities/crafts and provide regular photos of their day which is lovely to see. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

My boy went to a different nursery prior to Tiny Toez and didn't have a good time at all which left me feeling very anxious about him going anywhere but home with me.
I came to view Tiny Toez and immediately felt comfortable just being shown around and since my boy has been here, Tiny Toez have well
and truly restored my faith and confidence that nurseries are safe, educational and nurturing. I would recommend here to anyone I know, from the manager to all the wonderful staff. They are all very informative about my son's day and show love and patience at all times.
Even the app that is used for parents to know about their child's day is very clear, and always a delight seeing what my boy has been up to.
A wonderful nursery all around.

My daughter has been coming to Tiny Toez since January this year, she started off being shy and barely interacting with any staff or children, 6 months later she has come out of her shy shell and has so many friends and she absolutely loves her teachers now! Staff are brilliant, so kind and lovely,
every single one! I used this nursery for my eldest daughter as well and I couldn't fault it so I didn't hesitate to bring our youngest here as well and it was the best decision, she has another year to do yet and I can guarantee she will love another year with her teachers and some of her friends who are also staying for another year. Highly recommend this nursery.

My son has only been at Tiny Toez for nearly 3 months but he absolutely loves it and is really thriving, I have really seen a difference in his confidence, his talking and everyday he learns something new. It's lovely that Dad can drop him off and the atmosphere is so comfortable and staff are very
approachable if you have any worries and are always happy to help and very down to earth. My son absolutely loves one childcare practitioner in particular who has been fantastic with him from day one of his taster session when he was a bit worried and the childcare practitioner reassured both me and my son. It is lovely to see a setting with a male staff member as well as the lovely females who work here.

Our daughter has been at the setting for 3.5 years. There have been some turbulent times for the nursery but with proper guidance, these have been overcome and this is a testament to how much the staff care for the children. We are really happy with the care of our daughter. They provide opportunities,
and a safe environment, for her to play, learn, use her imagination and even cook!

My daughter has been going to Tiny Toez since she was 10 months old and she is now 27 months. There have been a lot of changes and I initially had a lot of reservations. However, the main reason I kept her there was she walked in happy and walked out happy. I had a lot of conversations with management
and senior management which helped my anxieties regarding the changes there. We were recently invited to parents evening which really confirmed how hard the staff work there. I for one am very pleased I continued to leave her there as I saw for myself how well the staff care and treat the children. You can tell the children are at the centre's priority. The rooms are up to date/the curriculum is up to date and the biggest thing is the staff are so great with the children. A big thank you for all you have done even when the parents have not been the easiest to deal with. My daughter has come on so well and a big factor is the help/guidance from you starting from Little Ferns to Oaks.

Reply from Gemma Gittins, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ Cannock Chase

My child has been going to Tiny Toez for a couple of years now and loves going. No major issues which any other nursery doesn’t face, the staff have always been great and the new management has really added a strong learning structure which is superb. The app is updated regularly and his key worker
is like his best friend. The nursery is friendly, safe and a happy place. It has undergone some staff changes recently but the new staff members are very good and have brought in some fantastic learning strategies and play ideas.

Terrible care. Staff knew nothing about our child on pick up every day.
Never completed any updates on the app and the staff was unaware of what my child had to eat that day - so unsure if my child had anything to eat at all.
Didn’t ever see a piece of art drawing or information about what they
were doing during nursery time.
Staff changing constantly, told me my child’s key worker no longer worked there and they couldn’t talk about it, only to see her three weeks later.
My child started having night terrors after nursery days only. And since joining a new nursery these have stopped.

Reply from Crystal Cuthbertson, Operational Manager at Tiny Toez @ Cannock Chase

We are extremely sorry for any upset or distress at the time your child was at Tiny Toez @ Cannock. I know this may not make any difference to yourself at this time but the nursery is working hard to make improvements in areas such as parent partnership, and the activities that are being provided for the children each day. We take seriously any concerns raised by parents, past and present and these will be looked into immediately.

My son has been at Tiny Toez @ Cannock Chase for two years now and entering his final year there.
Overall a fantastic nursery, he skips into the nursery and looks forward to every day he goes there, which as a parent is the most important thing. The nursery staff have been excellent from when he was
12 months old to now 3 years old in developing his life skills, vocabulary, learning ability etc.
The classrooms are large with plenty of things for the children to do and the playgrounds are also very good.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Tiny Toez.

My daughter loves going to nursery and gets on really well with her keyworker and always likes to tell her what she’s been up to. We get regular photo updates too via the app to see what she’s up to at nursery.

My daughter has only been attending Tiny Toez for a few months. Due to joining in the middle of a pandemic, we only viewed the nursery online, however, after only the trial sessions I felt very reassured by the management and staff that my daughter would find nursery an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
The staff treat every child as an individual and are very flexible to a young child's ever-changing needs.
They show an interest in the children's outside life and hobbies and my daughter already feels very 'at home', especially with her key worker.
The nursery provides so many different opportunities and engages the children in a range of tasks to help their developing skills too. What I find particularly great is that the nursery acknowledges every religious, cultural, and national holiday and encourages the children and parents to engage and celebrate as well.
The manager is very responsive and what I find wonderful is that she also takes the time to get to know each child by name

I'm really pleased with how the staff have helped my daughter settle into nursery, especially as I was quite anxious about leaving her, to return to work after maternity leave. I receive full feedback about her afternoon when I pick her up and the staff are always professional and communicative.

Tiny Toez is a wonderful nursery. Every staff member I've met has been friendly and kind. They seem to really care for the children. They are always willing to answer any questions you have, and they are good at keeping you informed of your child's development. My son has developed so much since being
there. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

My child absolutely loves going to Tiny Toez Cannock Chase. The activities (daily and seasonal) (indoor and outdoor) are fantastic, and we have a wall at home for all the artwork my child brings home. The care and attention provided to my child has always been brilliant, and communication to us as parents,
excellent. The staff are so friendly and approachable. Meals nutritious and varied. Children are always happy, and the environment is extremely safe. Couldn’t choose a better nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.276)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.276) out of 10 for Tiny Toez @ Cannock Chase is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.618 for Tiny Toez @ Cannock Chase is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.618

  • 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 4.658 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiny Toez @ Cannock Chase is based on 10 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.658

  • 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.
