The nursery has been very helpful and supportive with my son. I am glad I brought him here. they have been very understanding, my son is starting to improve a lot with all his skills, most especially communication. The support of the nursery combined with mine has done a lot for him. Thank you all for
your support, and thank you for your understanding.

Very good nursery to send your child to. Every member of staff makes sure your child is safe and very good for children to learn as well. Everyone is just really outgoing, and really nice.

My eleven-month-old son has been going to Tiddlywinks for two months and he has settled in very well. He now goes in three full days a week from half days. I can see he really enjoys it. He wants to go and play and the other children shout out his name to play with them when they see him. He is well
looked after by the staff and his friends. He has become more confident, trying to talk and walk, thanks to the staff. They treat the children like their very own. It's a very loving and caring environment.

My daughter came to Tiddlywinks back in 2011 and had the best time so there was no doubt where I wanted to send my son. He loves it here and we feel very happy with everything.

Extremely happy with the care my child receives. He loves coming to the nursery and has formed close bonds with the staff here. Everything is organised and clean and I love seeing the observations and experiences he has each day on the parents' app.

All the staff at Tiddlywinks have made our son feel very welcome at the nursery. His key carer, in particular, has made a special effort to get to know his likes and dislikes. For this, I am very grateful. Extra efforts are made to let us know our son is having fun by photos being uploaded onto the
parents' app.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Higher Blackley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.970 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Higher Blackley is calculated as follows: ( (559 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 576 Ratings = 4.97

  • 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 Higher Blackley is based on 48 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 48 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.
