My granddaughter goes to Tiggers. I attended a grandparent session for grandparent day which was lovely. We were able to see the nursery and have a play with our granddaughter and even got a lovely goodie bag. The staff seem lovely and my granddaughter gets on very well with them all.

Reply from Levi Stevens, Operations Manager at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

We loved having our grandparents in that week, it was a blast! The children also loved it. Can't wait for the next one!

My 3-year-old son has been at Tiggers for the last six months and he has really thrived there. He is now in the Larch room and has grown massively in confidence. He has made so many new friends and loves the big outdoor space it offers, the on-site rabbits and tortoise. The staff have been really attentive
and have encouraged his independence. I would recommend the nursery to anyone wanting a good foundation to their child's early years development and a solid stepping stone into pre-school.

Reply from Theresa Lang, Owner at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you for your review. We are very happy that your son is thriving and hope he continues to grow and develop in readiness for school.

I could not recommend Tiggers Nursery more highly. The staff are so kind, patient and caring with all the children and always go above and beyond to make sure each day is special and fun for them. My daughter loves coming into nursery each day and settled in very quickly. My daughter is absolutely thriving
in Maple room and has made leaps and bounds in her development since starting at Tiggers. The nursery staff are very attentive and knowledgeable and really care about the progress of each student. The daily activities are challenging and engaging and the learning environment is always beautifully set out. We couldn't be happier. Thank you all so much!

Reply from Levi Stevens, Operations Manager at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you for your amazing review. The staff love receiving appreciation and recognition for their commitment to the children. We are so glad that you are happy with the nursery.

Absolulty outstanding. We visited many childcare facilities trying to find the right one for our daughter but Tiggers shone through. The staff are amazing my daughter has been there over a year now, nothing is ever too much trouble. It's always clean everything that is available for the children is
such great quality. The outside area is a great extra for the kids with a few little animals.

Reply from Levi Stevens, Operations Manager at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Another lovely review that is so much appreciated! It is such a joy to hear your positive comments. We are very proud of our facilities, so that we can provide our children and families with the best opportunities. Thank you so much!

My baby girl has attended Tiggers in Tetbury since 9 months of age (now 16 months) and she has had an amazing experience there. The staff couldn't be more kind, welcoming and supportive, both to the children but also the parents. I can tell they really care about my daughter and she feels safe there
and has lots of fun. They provide regular updates on her learning and development, as well as what fun activities they get up to during the day - from messy play, to learning about road safety, to outside activities. It helps me to feel connected to her despite having to work during the day. The food is healthy and prepared on site, and they are very on top of allergies / dietary requirements etc. I couldn't recommend Tiggers and the staff enough .

Reply from Levi Stevens, Operations Manager at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy that your daughter has a great time and that you feel connected to her day, which is exactly the outcome we aim for. We are all one big family at Tiggers and love our jobs!

Tiggers has been looking after our sons since 2021. Both boys have had an incredible time. Our first son had the pleasure of attending Cedars before heading off to school. He has very fond memories of being at Tiggers since he started out in Willow. Our second son started at the very beginning in Acorns
and we were absolutely thrilled that he was being cared for by the same key workers who looked after our older son. I recommend and sing Tiggers praises every day. The setting (gorgeous outdoor space, thoughtfully set up rooms and yummy food) holds a very special place in our family's hearts. Every person who works there is exceptional, kind and caring.

Reply from L Stevens, Operations Manager at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Wow, what a lovely review, thank you so much! It warms our hearts to know that parents feel this way. Our staff are our biggest assets and they will be so happy to hear this. We are also very lucky to have such great spaces, both indoor and outside; it makes our work more like play time too!

We love Tiggers in Tetbury! My little one has been at Tiggers for a year and absolutely loves it! All the room workers are positively lovely, they provide such a caring and nurturing environment! We love the outdoor space at Tiggers as my little one loves running around and climbing outside. Tiggers
certainly encourage children to spend time outside in the fresh air and provide facilities for them to exercise and expel energy safely. My little one loves Tiggers so much that sometimes doesn't want to go home!

Reply from L Stevens, Operations Manager at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you so much for this fantastic review. It makes us feel so happy to know that parents feel their children are well educated and cared for by our fantastic team of practitioners. We are very lucky to have such great indoor and outdoor spaces and wonderful staff to work in them so passionately.

Having peace of mind that your child is safe, having fun and learning all at the same time is priceless. My children are very happy and comfortable with their surroundings and the wonderful, caring staff. The values taught are aligned with our own family values. Management and staff were very good.

The pre-prep room is a really great environment helping to set up independence and getting ready for school! My little one is really enjoying her time in the room and it's great to see her come home with so many new learnings!

Reply from L Sevens, Operations Manager at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you for your positive feedback. Our Pre-Prep room is a new, fantastic addition for our school leavers preparation. We are so lucky to have such a big site to provide this additional space for the 4-5 year olds, in a classroom environment. Rachel is a fabulous teacher and will be very happy that your child is learning so much from her.

Tiggers provides everything a child could need to thrive and more. The staff are welcoming and friendly and clearly work very hard. I love seeing the updates on the app and some of the meals they have sound delicious. The outdoor space is fantastic and I love that my child is able to get outside everyday
even in the winter. I would highly recommend Tigger's to any parents.

The staff are lovely and made it very easy for the boys to settle in. They can't wait to come into the nursery now which is fab! Great facilities and a lovely outdoor space. Having animals there is a lovely touch and my children adore visiting the tortoise in the mornings and seeing the bunnies and
chickens!

Tiggers @ Tetbury has looked after both of my children over the last six years and continues to do so at their holiday club. My children always come home with a huge smile on their faces and with lots of things that they have made that day - my fridge is full of pictures. They always have fun adventures
by being able to express themselves through art and design, feeding the chickens and collecting their eggs for the kitchen or relaxing in the hammocks with a book in forest school - two days are never the same, but always doing something fun! I’d highly recommend it.

Reply from Levi Stevens, Area Manager at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you so much for the lovely review; it is much appreciated. We love having your children with us for our holiday club; it is an absolute pleasure to care for them!

Tigger's has provided a lovely varied and stimulating environment for both my children to learn and grow. The staff are caring and engaged and provided good consistency and development throughout the nursery.
Sometimes communication to home can feel limited - we receive daily updates about what all
the children have been doing but specific learning stories and feedback can be limited. Having said this, any concerns I do have, have always been addressed through a phone call.

Reply from Theresa Ogden, Owner at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you for your feedback. We love to hear when parents are happy with the education and care provided. We are sorry that sometimes it is hard to send home more detailed information and we do look at ways to improve on this. We aways prioritise the care of the child over paperwork and the new Early Years Framework specifies that nurseries should spend less time doing paperwork, so that practitioners can spend more of their time quality interacting with the children in their care.

Both of our girls love coming here and have formed really strong bonds with the workers in their rooms. Our eldest has come on leaps and bounds and is very ready for school and it's comforting to know the youngest settles quickly even when upset in the morning. The only thing I would suggest for improvement
is communication home, as sometimes things are missed.

Reply from Theresa Ogden, Owner at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely feedback. Childcare can be extremely busy and demanding meeting the needs of each and every child to the best of our ability. Paperwork is something that we do not prioritise over playing and having fun with the children and meeting the nursery ratios. We always try and pop things down, when we get a moment, but the main thing is making sure that the children are happy and safe in our care.

My daughter has always been happy to come to nursery. Her development has been a pleasure to watch, as she learns new things and how to play with her friends. The staff are always interacting with the children and having fun.

To say my children has been given excellent care and education is an understatement. Tigger's Tetbury in my opinion is at the highest level of child care and development. Every single member of staff are always so kind, understand, friendly and massively supportive. To trust my child to someone else
was a huge fear, but seeing the love, care and attention from her teachers each day and regular updates through the day on my phone, has been such a relief. I can never thank them enough.

Reply from Theresa Ogden, Owner at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

That was an amazing review. Thank you so much. We are so happy how you feel about the staff and all that they do to provide your child with the best start to their education and care. It is also an honour that you trust us with your most precious thing. Staff love to hear positive feedback from their children's parents.

Our little one absolutely loves coming to the nursery, she enjoys all activities and games (she often wants to repeat them at home).
We got a bit of miscommunication with management changeover at the beginning, but it has improved massively with the new manager.

Reply from Theresa Ogden, Owner at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you for your great review. We are so pleased that you are very happy with our current manager, who took on the role 12 months ago, after being our quality assurance manager for 8 months. She is a great asset to our Tigger's Team!

The most important thing as a parent when handing over your most prized possession over to a nursery setting is knowing they are happy and cared for, for the last three years I feel my son has been extremely happy and cared for when in the setting which is such a comfort.
The staff are friendly and
so caring. The activities are fun and enjoyable for the children.
We have been extremely happy with his care whilst at Tigger's.

Reply from Theresa Ogden, Owner at Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery

Thank you for such kind and reassuring words. We are so glad that you fully entrust us with your child, knowing that they are happy and thriving. The managers continually oversee and promote staff training to ensure that activities are age appropriate and curious to encourage children's love of learning.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.842)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.842) out of 10 for Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.842 for Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (450 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 526 Ratings = 4.842

  • 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 Tiggers @ Tetbury Private Day Nursery is based on 44 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 163 number of registered child places is 32.6, which has been reached with 44 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.
