Amazing nursery. My little boy was clingy when he first started but they were so good with both myself and my little boy helping him settle and now he loves it. He’s come on so much and is a very confident child now and is learning so many new things every day, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Amazing nursery! Really lovely staff, my daughter loves coming home telling me all about her day and showing me new things she has learnt! She loves playing outside too and this nursery has a really good sized outdoor area with lots of different activities. She has settled so well! Highly recommend!

My son has come on leaps and bounds since joining Tiddlywinks. The staff go the extra mile to give children the kind of experiences that we could never give my son at home, and he genuinely looks forward to going to nursery. The feedback we get from the nursery is thorough and includes "next steps"
for every month to help with both educational and emotional development. The best thing though by far is the amount of time the children get to spend outside. This gives them a real appreciation for nature and just being outdoors, which we find brilliant as a family.

Tiddlywinks Easingwold is an amazing setting and has given both of our children such a wonderful pre-school experience! The outdoor space is fantastic and combined with the outside classroom area it is all so cleverly set up to encourage independence, creativity, imagination and lots of adventures -
whatever the weather! We love how the children are able to completely immerse themselves in whatever their interests may be at that time and are supported and encouraged to follow their ideas as far as they can take them. Both of our children have truly loved their time at Tiddlywinks and we cannot thank them enough for their continual efforts to provide such a caring, supportive and exciting environment and for the extra bit of magic that Tiddlywinks offers.

I cannot recommend Tiddlywinks enough! Friendly staff who I feel genuinely care for my son and celebrates his little victories. I love how rain or shine they make the most of outdoors and are now even napping outdoors! There is a lot of child led play and the true understanding that the work of a child
is play. I could of written this review back is 2019 when my eldest moved from another nursery to Tiddlywinks and for his first day it was a downpour of rain (I assumed they’d be indoors all day) when I picked up my 2yr 9month old he exclaimed he had the most wonderful day and for the first time went into detail of what materials are ‘waterproof’ as they experimented in the rain. As parents we are very happy in the knowledge that our children are getting the best opportunities to grow and flourish.

Tiddlywinks Easingwold provided amazing experiences for both of my children. It is a very caring, supportive and welcoming environment for little people with fantastic outdoor space and brilliant learning resources and activities. The staff know every child and are brilliant at helping them with their
development in all areas, as well as having great links and communication with parents. Tiddlywinks Easingwold was amazingly supportive of my child with additional needs, creating a special learning plan for her and sensory toys and resources. The nursery also has fantastic links with local primary schools and is great at helping to prepare children for the transition to school. Very highly recommend this excellent nursery!

I cannot praise this nursery enough! My review is really dated from September 2020, when my son first started at the age of 2 when we moved to the area. He'd had an extremely poor experience at a nursery not that far away, and I was concerned about how well he would settle into Tiddlywinks Easingwold.
It very quickly became apparent that I had absolutely no need to worry!


The staff are all fabulous with the children, they are very knowledgable about the development of children in the Early Years, and in addition to the incredible free choice activities the children have access to, the staff also plan specific activities which are tailor-made to meet the needs and interests of the children. I work in education, and I know what outstanding practice is, and I am confident in my judgement when I say that my child has made exceptional progress in all areas due to the hard work and dedication of all of his "nursery ladies". More importantly, he is a very happy little boy when he is there.

The staff have immediately formed a bond with our son, meaning he has been comfortable going there every day for the past year. We feel each member of staff goes above and beyond to follow each child’s interest, and make them interested in trying new activities. They often go outdoors and take advantage
of whatever weather it happens to be on the day. We fully trust Tiddlywinks Easingwold and will be sad to say goodbye when the time comes, but mostly very grateful for their fantastic work.

This is a small but deeply caring and adventurous nursery. The range of activities the children get up to is amazing, even in the baby room. Also lots of long time staff/not high turnover as in some places.

My daughter was moved to Tiddlywinks with severe hearing problems. It was an incredibly hard time for us all, as a family. Tiddlywinks supported me through the entire process and went above and beyond to help me. The support and dedication they have shown my daughter has been second to none and I cannot
recommend them any more highly.

The whole team really care and nurture all of the children and mine have definitely come on leaps and bounds since attending. They both have so much fun and my pre schooler is full of
stories about all the fun she has each day.

What an outstanding setting! I happened to pass by this nursery when my son was just 5 months old; knowing we were moving to the area I popped in to ask about having a look around. And boy am I glad I did! From day 1, my son has had the most amazing experience. The staff are caring, energetic, full
of fun and are so supportive of him. My son is now almost 3 and has developed more than his years, both academically and personally. The level of teaching is incredible. I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful setting and its incredible team of staff! Tiddlywinks Easingwold is an A star setting that deserves recognition.

I would not hesitate to recommend Tiddlywinks to any parent looking for a nursery for their little one. The staff have gone above and beyond to ensure my little girl has settled in well from starting at 1 year old and moving through toddlers and now to pre-school. The activities and opportunities provided
are excellent and my little girl loves spending the majority of her day outside and doing Forest school type activities which isn’t something all nurseries are able to offer. It really makes dropping my daughter off so much easier when I am confident she will have a fun day!

My review actually goes back to 2016 as I have had 4 children attend! The staff are absolutely fantastic! They go above and beyond for the children in their care and the setting itself is just fabulous! I have all boys so they love the outdoors come rain or shine, and at Tiddlywinks they have the children
playing outdoors teaching them the safety of being outdoors as well as having fun! Tiddlywinks is 10000% my go-to nursery! The manager is just exceptional! Thank you to all the staff at Easingwold Tiddlywinks for making my children's time in the nursery so fantastic!

After my daughter was born, there was no doubt as to which nursery she would be going to. After my son had been to Tiddlywinks, his confidence bloomed in many areas. His love of playing outside and exploring grew and I knew I wanted the same experience for my daughter. Since she has started, her confidence
has also come on massively. She has just moved up to preschool and is loving every minute. She loves getting up on a morning knowing she is at nursery. She tells me all about the fun things she has done when I pick her up and always leaves with a smile on her face. I couldn't ask for any more. The staff are amazing as well. Top notch nursery all around.

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.
