The best nursery, if could give more than 5 stars I would, they are truly the best. All the staff are very professional and friendly and they take care of the kids perfectly.
I would definitely recommend this nursery and all I can say is they should keep up the good work because they are truly awesome.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

That is very kind of you, we all try to do the best we can to help give the children confidence and self-esteem and to encourage their development through their interests. Hopefully, when the children start school they will be school-ready, full of enthusiasm and ready to learn.

My daughter's key workers are amazing! I am fascinated by their competence, patience, and love with which they do their work. My daughter is a difficult child, she is very stubborn and very emotional, but the care and effort that the team puts into raising her is a great help to our family and to her
growth and upbringing!
Big thanks!

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

The staff work really hard to form good trusting relationships and good bonds with all of the children, this does help children to feel safe and secure and to do their best.

My child has started pre school in January 2023, so far I am happy with the service the nursery staff have provided. However you know the best when your child comes home happy and is excited and looking forward to attend the next day. A big thank you to the nursery staff, well done and keep it up as
the children are happy.

My child just started pre-school and the staff are very kind, helpful and cooperative. They are helped to get used the whole, new situation and space. They suggested a shorter period of time for a few days or a week when my child had a harder time bearing my absence. They are always letting me know
what happened with my child on that day while she was there and they’re trying to understand her own language as well to help in the communication. Also, there are some different programmes for the children and parents as well when they are invited to enjoy it together after the daily activities.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

Thank you, we always try to give extra help to the children who take a while to settle in, especially after term breaks. The staff work hard to ensure transitions are as smooth as possible, helping the children to feel secure when parting from a parent/carer.

I am very fascinated by this nursery and teachers. My child can't wait until morning to go there. I really like the attitude towards my child and the way she is treated. My child is no English but she learned to speak English very quickly and even better than me and this is only the merit of teachers.
My child is very loved here and always brings home a lot of knowledge. I am very hurt and offended by the fact that my child will grow up and she will need to change nursery and part with these teachers.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

That is very kind of you, your child is developing well in all areas of her development and her English is good, this is all good for when she starts school.

My youngest daughter started at Tiny Toez Nursery with barely any social and communication skills due to covid and not getting to interact with other children her age. As the months have gone on, her speech has come along extremely well, as well as her personality. She's always thriving when seeing
me at pick-up time and full of herself telling me about her day. I cannot thank the staff enough, they all equally make my daughter's day at the nursery and have helped so much with her development. A happy child equals a happy mum.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

She is a very happy little girl and joins in all of the activities, she has made friends and really enjoys mark-making and the playdough. Her key person is working on numbers, letter recognition and starting to write her name, she is making good progress.

Really nice nursery. It is very safe as the doors open only by the staff. They target your child’s needs and work on them from day one. The staff are great, very welcoming and listen to your concerns about your child. My child created a bond with her carers really fast.
Overall great. I will take
my youngest there as well!

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

It is important for each child to bond and feel safe at the nursery, supported by their key person, the staff take every care to form good positive relationships with the children. When we gain their trust the children are ready to concentrate and ready to learn. I will pass on your very positive comments to the staff, thank you.

I highly recommend Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire to all parents! My daughter loves going there since 2021, she is always happy and cheerful when I collect her. The staff are just wonderful, I cannot thank them enough for taking care of her this much and teaching her. They are creative, friendly and
accommodating always towards my daughter's needs, always up to date with the app, sending pictures and checking milestones. I can see every day how much she has eaten and what. The key worker system is very good as well. My little one has got a nice bond with her key worker, she loves her very much and the other staff too. I have a very good experience with this place.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

Your daughter comes into the nursery happy and ready to join in with the activities, she is naturally a shy little girl, we are working on her confidence and this is improving all the time.

My son has been in the nursery since October 2022, it has been very welcoming, all staff and managers have been very welcoming and supportive to him and have been so helpful with any questions and concerns, from the staff in 2 to 3 and then in preschool, all the staff there very friendly and supportive.
A very good place for a nursery for kids and very caring room leaders. Thanks for all your help and support.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

He is developing his confidence and comes into the nursery happy and ready to play. His language continues to improve, he is also doing well with toileting. We will continue to work on developing his confidence.

My daughter feels very happy there. And this is very important to me. The staff is very friendly, very involved, and helpful. She learns new things and is much more confident. They have a variety of activities for kids indoors and outdoors. The food is excellent! For me and my daughter is exactly what
we need.

My child enjoys every moment of being at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire. She has blossomed since attending, learning every day and creating some wonderful bonds with the teachers and other children. I feel my child is safe in their hands and I never feel worried that I have left her there because I
know she's creating the best memories with the team.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

It is lovely to hear that your daughter enjoys nursery and that she is thriving, she enjoys all of the activities in the room.

I'm very happy with this nursery and pre school. My daughter has been attending there for almost one year and she is really happy. Always going there with a smile on her face and I know she is with amazing people around where she is safe. I never had any problem with staff members and they are always
happy to help.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

That is very kind of you, she did take a little while to settle but is a happy little girl now with much more confidence, she is also enjoying her food more. We hope she continues to develop her confidence and thrive for when she is due to start school.

Our son has been with the nursery since November 2021 and in that time he has settled in very well with help from all of the nursery team and especially from my son's key worker. My son's key worker is fantastic, she is friendly, approachable, polite and hard-working and it's very obvious she has a
passion for childcare. I am given timely updates on anything relating to my child. When I pick him up from the nursery, he is very cheerful and tells me tasks that he has been up to during the day.
I have noticed a change in his behaviour, he is more independent, more confident and more inquisitive. He has learned real-life skills, manners and values during his time at the nursery. Moreover, my child has learnt to use the potty, learned to play with others, understands that sharing is important, improved fine motor skills, can count numbers, and identifies letters too now, these are just a few of the things in which the nursery has assisted. Spacious nursery, highly recommended.

Reply from Christine Leeman, Nursery Manager at Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire

That was very kind of you, the key person for each child does try to respond individually to each child's needs and provide activities that they are interested in. I am happy that your child is doing so well, the staff really appreciate your comments. Thank you.

My son has just finished his second year here and both of my daughters attended. I've been back and forth here for 8 years and my children have absolutely loved this nursery and the preschool! I highly recommend bringing your children here! All of my children have learnt so much.

This nursery really is one of the best, they always go out of their way to help my son in every way. They are very accommodating towards his needs and always offer lots of support and advice for when we are at home also. My son is a very happy boy while at this nursery and always comes home smiling
and talking about his day. Their key worker system is brilliant also, he has the most amazing relationship with his key worker who has brought him on leaps and bounds. I’m always kept up to date on the progress he is making and what we need to work on etc. Honestly can’t thank this nursery enough and his key worker, for all their hard work and support.

This is a fantastic nursery.
My daughter has started there since she was one and a half years. Her speech and confidence have grown. She has made a lot of friends and has a good relationship with the teachers. She learns something every day.


The staff are very helpful, and the managers are flexible

with a very high standard of dealing with parents.


During the Covid pandemic, they followed strict measures to keep the children safe.


Highly recommended.

We would recommend this nursery on the basis of our daughter being safe, well cared for, well supported and making good progress. We also feel that we are well informed of our daughter's progress and learning activities through the app, combined with handover conversations on pick up. The nursery ensures
that children are exposed to a wide range of food with an extensive menu, so we know that our daughter is well fed whilst she is there. The nursery has also been extremely flexible with us during the Covid period, which has been very helpful as being a teacher, I know how difficult things can be. Finally, our daughter loves to go there as when she is not there she often asks for her key worker and other staff members. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.641)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire 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 27 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 4.641 for Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.641

  • 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 Tiny Toez @ East Staffordshire 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, 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.
