Tiny Talkers is a small, friendly day care provider, offering the highest possible standards of care and education within a fun, stimulating and homely environment.

At Tiny Talkers they believe all children are unique and follow a ‘Reggio Emilia Approach’ to children, families and learning.

They recognise children’s individual interests and developmental stages and build on these to plan and provide activities to develop their confidence, creativity and independence.

They are inspired by the poem 'The one hundred languages of children', which goes ...

The child is made of one hundred.

The child has a hundred languages, a hundred hands, a hundred thoughts, a hundred ways of thinking, of playing, of speaking.

A hundred always, a hundred ways of listening, of marvelling, of loving, a hundred joys for singing and understanding, a hundred worlds to discover, a hundred worlds to invent, a hundred worlds to dream.

The child has a hundred languages (and a hundred, hundred more) but they steal ninety-nine.

The schools and the culture separate the head from the body.

They tell the child: to think without hands, to do without the head, to listen and not to speak, to understand without joy, to love and to marvel only at Easter and Christmas.

They tell the child to discover the world already there and of the hundred they steal ninety-nine.

They tell the child: that work and play, reality and fantasy, science and imagination, sky and earth, reason and dream, are things that do not belong together.

And thus they tell the child that the hundred is not there.

The child says: No way. The hundred is there."

Loris Malaguzzi

This is what influences the practice and approach at Tiny Talkers Day Nursery.

My daughter started when she was just over 5 months old as I had to go back to work. I was very apprehensive and nervous at the thought of leaving her. When searching for a nursery as soon as I walked into the building I immediately knew that this was the one.

It had such a lovely feel to it and
it was very clean which was very important to me. The staff were so lovely and friendly I just knew my daughter was going to this nursery.


It is now 2 years later and we still love it. All the staff are very friendly and approachable. I feel very confident that my daughter is safe and very happy in her learning and playing environment.


I am always kept informed of what she is up to and I get regular emails to keep me up to date on what's happening in the nursery and offers of other parenting type things in the area.


Their online learning journal is a great way for new and my family who are not local to see what my daughter is up to.


An all-around outstanding nursery in my opinion.

Our little boy started nursery at 10 months and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating during his settling in. We feel like they really get to know him and his little character as it develops.
He’s now 17 months and loving it there! The food is excellent and probably far better
than anything I cook! It’s clean and no shoes are worn so you feel from a young age that cleanliness will not be a problem. The play area outside is brilliant. All in all, we’re so happy we chose Tiny Talkers!

Tiny Talkers Day Nursery is a warm, welcoming, friendly environment. All staff are lovely and fantastic with the children. There are always lots of exciting activities taking place, local outings and communication between parents and nursery are excellent. My son is very happy here and I know my daughter
will be too. I have already recommended Tiny Talkers Day Nursery to my friends and would recommend to anyone else looking for somewhere for their childcare.

Tiny Talkers Day Nursery is an amazing nursery and pre-school. If you are looking for a homely, child-centred and creative nursery this will suit you. We looked at loads of other nurseries in West Bridgford but found Tiny Talkers to be the best by far. For us, it is a great stepping stone from home
life to prepare for school. Both our children have settled so well thanks to all the staff.

Child is happy at this nursery and we really like the smaller more homely feel of the provision. Activities are stimulating and food provided is healthy and varied. Lots of outdoor play and staff are caring and know each of the children in different rooms.

I was very pleased from the moment I walked in to see that staff members and parents take their shoes off at the door. Tiny Talkers have a home to home feel the children are very calm and engaged. The children have a variety of creative play areas without if feeling forced! The staff members were very
welcoming towards myself and my son. I can't wait for him to start as I feel all his needs would be met. I would highly recommend this nursery to parents!!

I have a 9-month-old attending the nursery for two months. We were nervous as he is very young and we were prepared not to send him to a nursery if he was unhappy. My partner spent a lot of time visiting regularly with him for short periods of about 5 months so he got used to the environment which of
course is key to the settling in. The staff were really supportive and extremely flexible. Our baby is really happy there and the staff pay a lot of attention to all the children. It is a very natural, easy-going family play kind of place. Very bright and spacious. Cannot fault it. I don't like the scoring below because I don't really know about some things like Resources/Safeguarding/Management etc in my case. There should be an n/a option. I ticked 'Satisfactory' on Food/Nutrition because I think British people demand that food that is 'Satisfactory'... Sorry! Overall, though, brilliant and the food is not a problem :)

Our son was in Tiny Talkers since he was 1 and up until 4. They are absolutely brilliant. The staff is friendly and naturally nice with kids. I think the Manager really can pick up right people.
Most importantly, my son loved every single day he was at nursery.
The premises are very clean.
The best
nursery in West Bridgford.

My daughter has been in nursery since April, she took a long while to settle, but when we gets there she now loves it. The staff are very lovely and my daughter has a few she's attached to, so that's nice. The outside space is fantastic, although I don't think they should be going outside now, it's
cold weather. The only downside I can say is she normally comes home in different leggings as they don't change her nappy on time.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.756) out of 10 for Tiny Talkers Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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 4.700 for Tiny Talkers Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.7

  • 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 4.056 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiny Talkers Day Nursery is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 45 number of registered child places is 9. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.556

  • 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.
