My youngest child has attended Tiny Teapots since the age of 10 months. There was a period of time when things were disrupted, with closures and high staff turnover etc, but since the new manager arrived, things have improved considerably. My son now looks forward to coming and is forming bonds with
other children and the practitioners. The staff are always welcoming and seem to genuinely care for the children, tailoring the things they do/play with/read to the individual interests and strengths of the child. Thank you for all you are doing.

Both our children have been to Tiny Teapots (eldest is now at school and one is still there). The staff are first class - extremely knowledgeable and place the well-being of the children at the core of everything they do. There has never been
one day where my little one hasn't wanted to go to nursery.
She enjoys it so much, we even decided to put her in for an extra day! Both our children have very different personalities yet both thrived under the guidance of the manager and the incredible staff.

A fun caring setting with excellent staff, there have been some changes since my two daughters started but we've still had consistent care throughout. My two-and-a-half-year-old still attends and she loves it there. The only downfall is communication can sometimes be lacking but there have been real
improvements over the last few months in this area too

Tiny Teapots is a fantastic nursery. My little one is so happy there; it is clear he has lots of fun! It is a calm and nurturing environment with lots to explore and learn. He tries all sorts of different foods which inspires me to give them a try at home. I feel my son's individual needs are met and
feel his care is very personal to him. I love looking at his online profile to see what he has been getting up to and the day-to-day handovers are really useful, to know how long he has slept for and how much milk he has had etc. It is clear that the staff work closely together and strive for the very best for every child. I highly recommend this nursery.

Both of our children have attended and it was fantastic when we first joined. There had been a lot of changes through Covid and it finally feels like we're getting back to the good old days. The manager is enthusiastic and constantly tries to make positive changes to make it even better. The one thing
I would say is that other nurseries use an app to record meals, naps, activities etc which I feel would be useful here as we don't get much activity on the app and handovers are often hectic and you don't get a full picture of their day. Such friendly staff who obviously love their job and genuinely care about the children in their care.

Tiny Teapots Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Harrogate is wonderful. My young daughter gets very excited to go to nursery every morning. You can really tell that the staff love children. Every evening when I pick up my daughter she is exhausted from a long day of play but very happy. I would recommend
this nursery to anyone.

I cannot rate the nursery high enough. After going through a hard time as a family, the Tiny Teapots Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Harrogate team have been like a second family. Their love and support has been incredible and I can’t put into words how much it’s meant or thank them enough for everything
they’ve done. I have no issues leaving my little one at nursery, the team are amazing and the activities and the food are fantastic. I cannot recommend enough.Thank you to all the team. You always have a big smile on your faces, even through the hardest of times, it doesn’t go unnoticed.

The team at Tiny Teapots have been fantastic with both my children throughout their time at nursery. Extremely friendly and professional. The nursery has been fantastic throughout the last year with covid measures and keeping us up to date. My children have thoroughly enjoyed their time here.

My son has grown and developed so much since starting at Tiny Teapots Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Harrogate. The staff are amazing, they care so much about the children, their interests, lives outside the nursery and it shows through how calm, relaxed and excited my little boy is when he walks
through the door. We often talk about the staff at home on non nursery days! Communication is brilliant through the use of their online learning journal and day to day verbal communication. Overall I am completely reassured that my little boy is getting the best start to his learning journey through Tiny Teapots Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Harrogate and the staff there.

As adoptive parents to our little girl we had a lot of worries in finding the right nursery for our little girl and we made the best choice with Tiny Teapots Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Harrogate. They really understand the different needs of every child and our daughter has grown and developed
so much. The activities they do are fun and are aimed at development. My daughter chats about what she has done, who she has played with, what she had for lunch and has so much fun that she can’t wait to go back. My daughters speech and physical development has improved leaps and bounds and that is down to the staff and all their hard work. They have supported our daughter and us through different transitions in her life, such as moving house and have been great through lockdown's, posting online stories so my daughter still felt connected. I would recommend Tiny Teapots Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Harrogate to anyone. They genuinely care about the children and go above and beyond to ensure the children have the best time whilst learning.

I highly recommend Tiny Teapots. My son went here before he went to school, and my little girl is here now. The staff are extremely friendly and make everyone feel welcome. I love hearing about my little girls day, either via staff on collection or via the learning book. My little girl loves going to
nursery, doesn’t even look back to say bye to me haha!

My daughter has completed a highly successful period within the baby room. The level of care and attention was superb and the activities were stimulating and aided her development. I look forward to watching her develop at the next level as a tweenie.

My daughter loves every day in this nursery. She really developed so much, her skills, her speech is much better, and every day she understands more. There are things to be improved, but I can’t imagine any different place for her than Tiny Teapots. Keep up with good work.

I moved my son here after his previous nursery changed management and focused more on decor than on the kids! My biggest wish was that he would have a key person, someone he could build a bond with. He got that in spades with a real connection between him and his key person. He has grown in confidence
and always tells me about his great days. At a time that could have been disruptive for my little guy the staff at Tiny Teapots Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Harrogate created a comforting environment for him to thrive.

Tiny Teapots Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Harrogate is a wonderful, warm and welcoming nursery. My daughter has settled very well into her routine in the baby room. Her key worker and the other staff in the room are extremely caring and supportive of her needs. Our daily handovers are really
valuable to me and it’s lovely to hear how she has enjoyed her day. I highly recommend this nursery.

I love the nursery. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. It is nice to know that most of the staff knows my sons name and they are happy to see him when I leave him in the morning. I can see my son enjoys going to nursery every Wednesday. They have a different variety of activities and adapt
to the children's needs.

My daughter has just started and the nursery has been excellent in welcoming her. It is a major transition starting nursery, especially in these times of lockdown, and I really feel grateful we chose this nursery for our daughter. They have gone out of their way to really make sure she settles in and
also reassure us as parents too. Would definitely recommend, and have done to other parents.

Tiny Teapots is just fabulous - the staff are so caring and really get to know all the children, not just those in the room they work in. Our little chap started nursery in the middle of the pandemic, but the settling in process was just brilliant and being able to view the actual setting in person
put my mind at rest that we were choosing the right nursery. The activities the children do keep them busy, learning lots and engaged...and they spend lots of time outside in the fresh air. The manager was great in adjusting our days at nursery when I got a new job and needed different days. Highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Partou Tiny Teapots Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.938 for Partou Tiny Teapots Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 Partou Tiny Teapots Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 19 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2, which has been reached with 19 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.

Claire Martin

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2023

ABOUT ME:
Greetings, I am Claire, and I am the manager of Tiny Teapots. My journey in the field of childcare and education spans an extensive 25 years, and in my ongoing pursuit of knowledge and professional growth, I am currently enrolled in a Level 5 Leadership in Early Years degree.


WHY CHILDCARE?
My passion for working with children began with childminding and subsequently assisting with the running of a church toddler group. These foundational experiences instilled in me the significance of creating a secure and nurturing environment for young children to blossom.


As my career advanced, I ventured into school settings, providing specialized support for teaching and learning. I find great fulfilment in shaping the future of our youngest learners.


In my role as a nursery manager, I am unwavering in my commitment to providing the highest quality care for all children. Each day is a fresh opportunity to establish a safe, stimulating, and nurturing setting where children can explore, play, and cultivate vital life skills. I look forward to the future as I continue to support their growth and development, armed with the knowledge and inspiration derived from my ongoing educational journey.


INTERESTS & HOBBIES:
Beyond my professional life, my personal life revolves around my family. I am a proud mum of three grown-up children who continue to inspire me every day. Additionally, I am a grandparent to a delightful grandson who is two. Watching him grow and learn is a priceless experience that keeps me connected to the endless wonder and inquisitiveness of childhood.
