The team, facilities and environment at Tiddlywinks are truly outstanding - and we don't need Ofsted to tell us that, even though they did! My daughter joined the baby room when she was 10 months old and has bonded really well with the team, who are always doing really interesting, fun and diverse activities
with her. She often comes home with lovely pictures and crafts she's made and even biscuits she's baked, at 18 months old, that's impressive! They have a very well planned and organised schedule throughout the year and introduce the babies to all sorts of materials, themes and concepts that relate to whatever time of year it is. The Christmas build up was amazing, we got beautiful photos staged for free that were ideal for our Christmas cards and she brought home some lovely homemade things, including a gold pine cone, bauble, 2024 calendar and she also got a really lovely present from them to open. I feel that they go above and beyond in everything that they do.

We moved from Switzerland to the area in September 2022. Our experience with the nursery so far is excellent. We are very happy with the way the nursery has helped our son to settle in the UK! There is a strong caring attitude from the staff. They develop a lot of the creativity and imagination of the
children. They also spend a lot of time outside!
Our son is always coming home with a big smile on his face. It says it all!

My son has been in this nursery for 6 months and I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My son has thrived and learnt loads in the last months. Every day the staff prepares different activities to develop different aspects of the child. They keep us informed of everything, with daily reports, pictures
and details of the different activities, as well as what each activity aims pedagogically. On top of that, we get a monthly summary of the child's progress. The food is great and my son is very happy with the staff, and so are we.


During December, they had a Christmas event, and it was great to see how our son plays and enjoyed being there. If you are thinking about which nursery to take your child to, don't think twice: Tiddlywinks Easingwold is the best place!

-- Our eldest really enjoyed Tiddlywinks Nursery and our youngest is still there and she is very happy there!
-- Staff are generally very friendly and caring and we trust them with our children.
-- Great location in town, ties in nicely with morning routine and doing shopping etc in town. Understand
the drivers for moving to new location at the industrial park but it will be a shame in many ways.
-- It would be very very useful if there was a simple shed/porch to leave prams in (at our own risk) after dropping off our youngest so I am not pushing an empty pram onwards to school where we drop our eldest.
-- Understand the outdoor education aspect but sometimes it seems a little over the top. Great to be outdoors but I think on more cold/wet days they could be inside a little more when they’re so small! Kitting them up in the morning also makes it difficult to get out of the house.

Our daughter started at Tiddlywinks back in early 2020 (during the height of Covid). Our daughter loved her time at the nursery. I'd always regarded a nursery as something of a "play group" for toddlers but it proved to be much more than that. She really developed during her time at the nursery and
had no trouble moving up to primary school, she was more than ready for the move. This is a great credit to Tiddlywinks (and her parents of course!). I would have no hesitation in recommending Tiddlywinks to other parents. Fortunately, we've been able to continue the relationship as Tiddlywinks runs the out-of-school club at my daughter's primary school.

I would just like to congratulate everyone at Tiddlywinks in Easingwold. The nativity this year was such a lovely experience as always. My son enjoyed every minute and I was so proud to see how confident and happy he was standing up there with all of his friends.


A big well done and thank you to

all of team Tiddlywinks for everything you do for our little minis. I feel very lucky to have been able to get Stevie into such a positive and happy nursery.


Keep up the good work and stay fabulous.

My son loves attending Tiddlywinks. As a parent, I get so excited to see and hear all about their day on the app. I have been so impressed by the activities, food and learning. My son has taken a real liking to science and experiments due to the resources available to him whilst at nursery. I've also
already noticed a big difference in his independent play, sense of imagination and speech.

My son started at Tiddlywinks in January 2023. He took to it immediately and has grown so much in skills and confidence in such a short time. I feel so happy sending him there every day, he plays outside most of the day, does interesting and exciting activities, eats lovely food and is building sweet
relationships with kids and teachers. He comes bounding out with a huge smile on his face every day. I don't feel like I'm just putting him somewhere to be looked after while I work each day. I feel he's somewhere he's nurtured, valued as an individual, and encouraged to grow. I can't recommend Tiddlywinks and the staff highly enough.

I was quite apprehensive about sending my daughter to nursery at only nine months of age, but I honestly couldn’t be happier with Tiddlywinks! The staff in the baby room are wonderful and I feel completely at ease leaving her there, knowing she will be really well cared for and fully enjoy her time
there. My daughter absolutely loves being outside and we love that so much of the children’s nursery experience at Tiddlywinks involves them enjoying the outdoors. We have also seen a big change in her development just in the last couple of months of her attending nursery and we can tell she absolutely loves her time there as she comes home full of smiles and laughter each day that she is there. We also love the daily reports and photos. We couldn’t be happier with the nursery and the dedication of such wonderful staff. It’s made returning to work so much easier for me knowing she is in such great hands. Tiddlywinks really is becoming her second family. Thank you Tiddlywinks!

Our daughter started in the baby room at the start of 2023 and we’ve been really happy with Tiddlywinks. The staff are a pleasure to deal with, very friendly, caring and engaged. Our daughter has settled in well and seems to really enjoy her nursery days. It makes life much easier handing her over to
people who she is happy to go to and comfortable with. They do loads of very sweet activities and spend a lot of time outside, which is great.

"Outstanding in all areas" truly does describe Tiddlywinks Easingwold. The setting, activities, thoughtful and educational environment is all brought to life by the wonderfully nurturing and caring team. They always go above and beyond and have a real passion for children and childcare - they are exceptional
and I am so happy my son has spent the last 2 years with such beautiful people - not long until he sets off for school and I know we'll both miss Tiddlywinks massively!

My little boy loves this nursery and so do we. We relocated to the area in November 2022 and knew straight away this was the nursery we wanted to send him to. They were so lovely on the phone with us arranging a viewing and we absolutely love the forest nursery style. We get daily updates of what he’s
been up to along with learning targets and milestones. He’s come on leaps and bound since attending here and talks about the staff all the time. He loves them. He comes home absolutely shattered so we know he’s had lots of fun. He’s fit in straight away and sending him here was the best decision we made. We’re due another little one soon and have no doubts that they will also attend.

All the staff are so friendly and caring and clearly love their jobs. The atmosphere is so welcoming and my son settled in straight away after moving from a different nursery. The outdoor space is fantastic and such a fabulous aspect of the nursery. The food they are given is also great and my son has
developed from being a very fussy eater to eating almost anything he is given which has made our lives a lot easier. He is learning so much and I am often taken aback by how much he has been taught and learnt.

Our little one has been attending Tiddlywinks Easingwold for nearly two years and absolutely loves it. The staff are extremely loving and celebrate all of the children's achievements (my daughter once kindly told me I was a 'shining superstar' as I cooked her tea, high on the back of wonderful encouragement
and praise from the team when potty training). The activities the children are engaged in are amazingly inventive and creative and at the end of each nursery day we pick up a little one who is simply high on life - she's had delicious food, lots of fresh air and so much fun with her friends and the staff. We get plenty of feedback from staff about how's she doing and find all the team eager to help/offer advice if we have any queries or concerns. I honestly couldn't ask for more from a nursery setting; under their tender, nurturing care she's absolutely thriving.

This nursery is amazing! We were fortunate enough to experience Tiddlywinks for two months (we were relocating and staying temporarily in the area).
The team are amazing and my son settled from the first session. They have a range of activities to entertain and educate children and are outside (preschoolers)
for most of the day, which is great! My son loves it there and has only had positive experiences.
The team at Tiddlywinks do such a wonderful job of nurturing the next generation and I only wish more nurseries provided this level of care and attention to detail!

My little boy has been at Tiddlywinks since February. The girls and all the staff are amazing, very caring and kind. He talks about his key worker all the time and has come on leaps and bounds since he started. They have an amazing set-up, go outside as often as they can, and provide fresh healthy foods
with lots of variety for him to try. Nothing is ever too much trouble and I feel at complete ease leaving him. I have nothing but good things to say about Tiddlywinks!

My little boy has been at Tiddlywinks since being a baby. The girls and all the staff are amazing, very attentive and very kind towards the children. I only have amazing things to say. The learning is fantastic, the outside area has been so good, especially through covid times and the outdoor play is
a massive hit with my little one. I’m going to be extremely sad when my son leaves as the last 4 years have been an ease! With no concerns in any areas. Would highly recommend the manager and Tiddlywinks Easingwold.

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.
