It is really lovely to hear how my son is doing at nursery, we have seen a big difference in his confidence and his knowledge of different things since he has started at Tiddlywinks. He has settled really well and seems really happy when we pick him up. He talks about his key workers and seems to have
formed a good bond with them. It is really good to hear he is reaching his target and developing well in all areas.

My son has been attending for nearly two years and I cannot praise the nursery enough.
The standard of care is outstanding and my son loves going to the nursery which is a weight off my mind when having to leave him to go to work. The staff are fantastic and have helped us to develop my sons learning,
he has a great relationship with his key carer, who goes above and beyond with the children. I have confidently recommended the nursery to a number of friends. Thank you for all that you do, you're doing a great job.

My daughter has been at Tiddlywinks for a few months having moved from another nursery that we were unhappy with. She has been made to feel very welcome and the staff have been excellent. She has come on in leaps and bounds and I am only sorry that we didn't choose Tiddlywinks initially. Nothing but
praise for the staff and the facilities. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

My son (3.5 years) loves going to nursery and loves all the different activities and learning.
He especially loves the outdoor space and facilities. The staff are wonderful and always have a smile and hello for us when we arrive to drop him off or pick him up.
They have helped make him confident
and happy in the learning environment.

Having sent my eldest child to Tiddlywinks, I was certain I wanted my youngest daughter to attend as our experience of their staff, setting and level of care was excellent from day one.

Tiddlywinks is a lovely place for my children to go to. They love every minute of being there and have a special bond with their key carers.
I see what they get up to and love watching videos of what they have been up to.
Keep up the good work!

Even if he cries when I leave him there, I know my son is in good hands and I find him happy and wanting to stay more. I strongly recommend Tiddlywinks Day Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery. My son developed really well since he is there and he started to learn English really fast.

My daughter has been at Tiddlywinks from the age of 1 onwards, and has gone through the baby room, tweenie room and now is in the preschool room. All of her key carers have been exceptional, very compassionate and understanding, and consequently, she has thrived here. My daughter has developed into
a kind, intelligent little girl and that is largely due to the high standard of care she has received from all of the staff at Hill Lane. A wonderful nursery I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley 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 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.829 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley is calculated as follows: ( (504 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 562 Ratings = 4.829

  • 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 Tiddlywinks Nursery Blackley is based on 45 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 45 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.
