Tiddlywinks Easingwold is a happy and safe environment which has encouraged my child to thrive.
Each morning, we are welcomed by happy and friendly faces, who know both us as parents and our child well.
They provide high-quality, engaging learning opportunities throughout every day, in order to
help all of their children achieve.
Their outdoor ethos to learning is perfect, as it encourages the children to be active, curious and carefree, whilst having fun in the great outdoors.
They share our child's learning and progress with us and always keep parents informed with changes, updates and key information.
A wonderful setting, with caring, wonderful staff.

My child has received and continues to receive support with his learning, socialising and general development. He's more likely to be sad to come home as he has fun and reassurance thought out his day.

Our little boy has been attending Tiddlywinks since he was 9 months. He is 2 and a half now and moved into the toddler room around 6 months ago. He loved the baby room and equally loves the toddler room. The girls are so so good and it's clear that the bond between the girls and the children is completely
mutual. My little boy talks very fondly about the girls and his friends at nursery which is always so lovely to hear. I also personally love the emphasis the nursery has on playing and learning outdoors. I would absolutely recommend Tiddlywinks to anyone looking for a nursery!

Both my boys have thrived at Tiddlywinks. They have enjoyed the child-led play, forest school and outdoor area a lot! Their speech and social understanding has developed considerably whilst here. My youngest son has thrived with his number and colour recognition in particular. There is a good balance
between free play and structured activities. The staff are friendly and keep you up to date all the time. The boys are always well fed, clean and happy after a day there!

Tiddlywinks Easingwold has been incredibly supportive throughout my daughter's time there. I genuinely believe she wouldn't be so outgoing and considerate if she hadn't attended Tiddlywinks.
The staff are real professionals. The manager is an excellent help, always has time to talk and genuinely cares
about each child. One member of staff in particular is fantastic for the nursery with her love of the outdoors. She really believes in the forest school ethos and has a passion for the outdoors that is passed on to the kids. Another staff member is a firm favourite of our daughter. She knows her inside out and is always available for cuddles and special chats. We recently reduced our daughter's hours for she to attend the local primary preschool in preparation for school. Everyone has been incredibly supportive, wishing her luck and asking questions to get her excited about the change, we couldn't ask for anything more.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our daughter and son attend Tiddlywinks, pre-school and baby room respectively. They both really enjoy themselves as our daughter will tell us about the things she's done, learned and played and our son is excited as soon as we approach the door. Once a fortnight our daughter is introduced to interesting
topics through Science Tots, and will always tell us about it when she gets home, which in turn leads to discussion and more learning with me and her mum. Our son is clearly challenged to learn new skills, as his gross and fine motor skills are constantly improving as are his social skills.
They both completely trust the staff, which can only be a reflection of the care and attention they receive when there. We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Tiddlywinks.

Reply from Katy Bulleyment, Manager at Tiddlywinks Easingwold

Thank you for your review. It is great to hear your little ones enjoy our outside agency visits, Science tots is a firm favourite for many.

Our children have forged trusting and meaningful relationships with their key persons and other staff directly working with them. They enjoy going to their respective groups and look forward to seeing their friends. The staff are warm and kind but also very professional. Our children know they can come
to them when they need comfort or help. Adults lead the children in building their skills in all areas, but we find most important the hard work that is put into supporting such young children to grow their social skills and emotional intelligence. Our eldest happily chats to us about all the new things they've learnt and all the fun activities they've done during the day.

The nursery staff are always friendly and welcoming. Tiddlywinks provide lots of activities which allow the children to learn and develop whilst having

I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful care and attention my daughter receives at Tiddlywinks Easingwold. The staff are professional, caring, and attentive to each child's needs.
From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm and friendly atmosphere. The facilities are clean, safe,
and well-equipped with educational toys and activities. My daughter especially loves the outdoor play area.
She has shown remarkable progress in her social and cognitive skills since joining Tiddlywinks. She is building strong relationships with both the kids and the staff, and her keyworker has become someone she trusts and loves. The staff's support and dedication are evident in everything they do.
We are so happy to be a part of the Tiddlywinks family and can't wait until our little boy can begin his Tiddlywinks adventure! I highly recommend Tiddlywinks to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching place for their child. Thank you for all that you do.

We have two little girls here and they both love it.
The staff are brilliant, super friendly and fun but keep the children in check so you know they aren't getting away with murder.
The outside space is utilised so well and the older children spend most of their days out there - eating their meals
out there (weather permitting). I can't rate this nursery highly enough.
The food is excellent and I am often quite envious of what they are getting!
My girls love it and so do we!

I find Tiddlywinks Nursery to be a fantastic choice for my daughter. Their focus on outdoor play and learning has helped her develop leaps and bounds. Conveniently located in the town centre, the nursery provides a warm and nurturing environment. The staff are friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate
about the children's development and well-being. I feel confident leaving my daughter in their care, knowing she is happy, supported, and thriving.

Our son has attended Tiddlywinks twice a week since September 24. Despite taking a while to settle, the staff could not have done more to reassure us, and support my son through his transition. He now loves nursery, he happily goes with a smile and comes out full of babbling stories of his day. Our
son's smiles and eagerness to go to nursery reassures us as parents the team are doing a great job. The office staff are helpful and great communicators. The girls in the room are friendly, welcoming, and professional, our son clearly loves them all! Our son often comes back with new words or things he's learnt which is lovely. We enjoy hearing about his day and feedback given! He appears to love attending TiddlyWinks, we are completely satisfied with the service and hope his enjoyment here continues as he transitions through the rooms!

Tiddlywinks Easingwold is fantastic! My older daughter has been there for 2 years and my younger daughter is just about to start her Tiddlywinks journey. I can genuinely say my daughter loves going to nursery. As a parent I can see how well supported she is. The staff are amazing and clearly really
care about the children and know them so well! The learning opportunities are well planned to challenge yet support the children to succeed. There are great opportunities from outside providers as well which is an added extra, stretch and grow is a definite favourite! I particularly love that the toddlers and preschool children spend so much time outside. My daughter is always so excited to tell me about her wonderful day on the way home. I can't wait to see the progress my younger daughter makes once she starts regularly too! I can't recommend Tiddlywinks highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Easingwold 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 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.937 for Tiddlywinks Easingwold is calculated as follows: ( (595 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 635 Ratings = 4.937

  • 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 Easingwold is based on 53 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 53 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.
