In my experience, I have never experienced anything wrong with the place. It's the best place to leave your child, they have good care, very clean place and environment, it's very nice. In my opinion, Tiddlywinks is the best day nursery in Clayton. The staff and the management are excellent.

My experience at Tiddlywinks, Clayton has been brilliant. My daughter was really struggling with nursery but the staff have been brilliant and helped her settle in. She's a different child, she enjoys it so much and I am so grateful for all the staffs help in settling her in. Excellent nursery, highly
recommended.

My daughter has come on so much since attending Tiddlywinks Nursery and has improved so much with her words, numbers and how she behaves socially. I think this nursery is amazing and I am so happy with the way all staff treat my little girl. Perfect nursery.

My daughter has been attending Tiddlywinks since she was 12 months old and she absolutely loves it! The staff are amazing, so helpful, so nice - I feel I have built a good relationship with every single one of them. They have a lot of time for you but most importantly they have an amazing relationship
with my daughter and they each bring something different to her personal development.


My daughter has learnt so much since attending this Nursery I can't thank the staff enough. Everyone who meets/sees my daughter always comments on how good her vocabulary is, how well-mannered she is and how confident she is. It's such a fun environment for the kids and there's not a wall in there that isn't covered in pictures or paintings that the children have done. They're really proud of the children they take care of and that shows. Also it's always clean and tidy no matter what time of day you turn up! I don't know how they do it!

Tiddlywinks is a brilliant nursery and all the staff are great at what they do. The nursery holds lots of theme days which incorporate what the children are learning about. My child has been with Tiddlywinks from 11 months old and her development has come on leaps and bounds. The selection of food provided
to the children is healthy and varied. Management staff are also very approachable.

Since my daughter started going to the nursery I have noticed that she is developing really well and her speech is loads better, all the staff and management are very good in what they do, they are very good towards the children and parents. Any questions or queries I have ever had they always do their
best to help with. The rooms, activities and food they provide are excellent. Our daughter was shy when she first started going but everyone's approach has seen her come on loads in all areas.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Clayton 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.907 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Clayton is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.907

  • 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 Nursery Clayton is based on 19 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
