Overall fantastic nursery. However, there are a few downsides if you are looking to use this nursery for your child. The removal of half days. This is costly for those who don’t have childcare for full days. This was due to covid but has never been reinstated. Only just recently, unsure why, there is
a very high staff turnover. I don’t know any of the staff in her room really and even when meeting someone for the first time they don’t introduce themselves. Things in the nursery are definitely not as they used to be when my child started in January 2020. I can’t even put this down to covid as it’s the staff team that makes a difference. I don’t feel as if they know my child or where her developmental needs are. However, the main thing is my child is happy and settled, so for that reason I would recommend it.

Reply from Kim Boyce, Manager at Tiny Tots Academy Ltd

Further to your email detailing our response. We currently do not provide half days. I understand that you have requested extra sessions for your child at the nursery which we have always been able to accommodate. There is a “Meet the Staff” item posted on the learning journals each term. Feedback is given daily upon collecting children. I understand your child is not always collected by yourself however I assume that whoever has the authority to collect your child would relay this information to you. Your child moved into Primary 3 in August 2021 where we have staff who have been employed for over 11 years.
We are extremely proud of everything the management and staff of Tiny Tots Academy endeavour to provide, and the support given to children, parents and carers. We are very appreciative of the awards we have received. Again we are delighted to learn that your child is happy and settled in the nursery.

Tiny Tots nursery do a wonderful array of activities that have really helped my child grow. The staff are attentive and supportive and always willing to help however they can. My child is a real fussy eater and the staff have managed to encourage her to eat better and I am so grateful for that. The
nursery is always clean and well kept and they are always teaching the children new and exciting things that they bring home to tell the parents. I cannot recommend Tiny Tots enough.

My little girl has been at Tiny Tots since she was 6 months old, she is now five and starting school in August. I cannot recommend TinyTots enough to any parent that has to go back to work and is feeling apprehensive about leaving their child with someone else.

Both my children have attended Tiny Tots Academy since they were 6 -7 months old. Staff are fantastic with them and they love going. I have always found communication to be excellent, the online journal is updated regularly with information and pictures of activities and developments. Targets are set
regularly and the kids have a voice to influence their learning and activities based on their interests.

We have had a great experience with Tiny Tots, especially in view of my wee one’s toilet training. The staff have been so supportive and have addressed issues very promptly when raised. Communication about daily activities is good and most days there is something on the online journal including photos
of what the children have been up to. It is difficult to comment on the questions regarding cleanliness, safeguarding, ICT etc because handover happens outside the door. I must say the staff have been no less than wonderful with my shy wee one and she has come on a huge amount, particularly in relation to her speech and communication, since she started a few months ago.

I honestly can't thank this nursery and the staff enough for how amazing they have been with my little one and how they have helped me massively with her anxiety about attending nursery and preparing her for starting school.

The staff are fantastic. My son has come on leaps and bounds whilst in their care. Lots of different activities are planned to ensure the children are having lots of fun whilst developing their social and academic skills. Staff regularly engage with parents to set targets for their children too.

The staff at Tiny Tots are fantastic! Have had both my children attend at various points so have encountered all rooms and the level of care provided by all is excellent! Both my children suffer from allergies and this is something that I am constantly concerned about but this has always been dealt
with impeccably. I love the daily online journals which update you on what your child has been learning. It's tough feeling like you are missing out whilst at work but with these, you are always informed and involved! Keep up the great work!

My son has been attending Tiny Tots since December 2021 and is really enjoying it. His daily diary is great for keeping up with what he is doing, such as activities and food he has had while there and pictures posted of what he has been doing, on the days he attends. The girls are always really good
at hand over when I pick him up. All the nursery teachers are pleasant and friendly. I would definitely recommend the nursery to friends and family.

As someone who works in the early years myself, I was very picky when it came to choosing a nursery for both my children. I had such high standards for the establishment to meet and they haven’t disappointed. My kids absolutely love going to Tiny Tots and I have noticed a huge improvement in all areas
of their development. The staff are amazing and so approachable. My 3 year old daughter comes home speaking about all the ladies in her room and the learning experiences she takes part in. Due to Covid, we are not able to enter the building as parents which is quite upsetting for me but my kids both separate from me well and settle very quickly into the nursery day and this is thanks to how much of a good relationship the staff have built with them. The manager has been fantastic with me and is always on hand to answer my many questions throughout the day. I would highly recommend Tiny Tots Academy and am very thankful that my children attend in my opinion one of the best nurseries in the area.

It's natural to worry about leaving a child all day in nursery. I felt really nervous the first time we took our daughter to Tiny Tots but I am so glad we did. The staff are superb and they really made us feel welcome. They put our daughter at ease and made her feel at home, so much so that she forgot
we were there and we were able to leave her to play! Ever since, the staff have been super supportive, especially when our circumstances changed and have really worked hard to develop our daughter into a confident young girl who is ready for school. The fees are very reasonable, the food and snacks are high quality and the activities children take part in are engaging and fun. I've never seen a cleaner place! The management team are always on hand to help with any issues and are really accommodating. The staff go above and beyond to create a family atmosphere and our family love to attend the celebration events they work so hard to produce! I wouldn't hesitate to send our children here.

My son has attended here since the age of one. He looks at the girls as family and they are all so loving and brilliant at the education, time and support they give him. With me working shifts, they always are understanding and have made me returning to work from day one that little bit easier knowing
how well he’s looked after in their care. My son loves the meals also which is a huge bonus.

My daughter has been attending Tiny Tots Academy since she was 10 months old. The nursery staff have supported her development every step of the way and I've never had any concerns about her care. She's now getting ready to start school and thanks to the staff at Tiny Tots Academy, she's got the skills
and confidence for her next step.

My oldest has been attending the nursery for over 2 years now and my youngest has recently started. I cannot recommend Tiny Tots enough. Staff and management go above and beyond to support my kids to meet their developmental potential. They have taken time to build a bond with my children and make all
efforts to understand and meet their individual needs.
The management team have been exceptional in working alongside me as a parent to support my child through some difficult times while being professional but still kind, caring, compassionate and empathic. My oldest has built a strong bond with the management team due to the time they take to acknowledge his likes, dislikes and interests to build a positive relationship. A skill that all staff demonstrate throughout the nursery.
They also evidently work with each child with their developmental milestones and work towards the well-being indicators of GIRFEC and the national curriculum.

The staff are welcoming and friendly, they provide feedback at the end of each day and are very accommodating to every child's needs.
My son enjoys a range of experiences both indoors and outdoors and the environment is well suited to the age and stage of the children. A hot lunch is provided as well
as breakfast and morning/afternoon snack. The staff involve children and parents in the running of the nursery with regular questionnaires and reviews. Parents are often invited into the nursery to see their child's progress etc and the introduction of online journals this year has been a great tool to see my child's progress as and when the learning occurs.
I can't praise the nursery highly enough for their care of my son and this makes me feel at ease about returning to work knowing my daughter will be well looked after when she commences her Tiny Tots journey too.

My twins started going to nursery for 1 day a week. This has now increased to 3 days a week. They absolutely love going to nursery.
They have developed socially and their language etc has really flourished. The girls are great with both of them (both twins have very different personalities) so they
have devised specific care plans for each. Management are always very friendly, helpful and flexible. I highly recommend Tiny Tots Academy.

My daughter started the nursery when she was 8 months old. She is almost 3 now. She really enjoys spending her time there. Great nursery with friendly staff who works closely with parents. Children are treated with respect and love. Their home routine is followed. Tasty meals and snacks. A lot of indoor
and outdoor activities for kids of all ages. Rooms are always clean, full of toys and safe for the kids. Beautiful garden area. Parking on the side. Would highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.968) out of 10 for Tiny Tots Academy Ltd 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.968 for Tiny Tots Academy Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.968

  • 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 Tiny Tots Academy Ltd is based on 18 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
