My son has been at Teddies Tots Day Nursery since he was a year old, he turns 3 soon, and I wouldn’t have him attend anywhere else. The team are so supportive and encouraging of the children, and my child has flourished in this nurturing environment through each stage of his development. I’m always
impressed by the variety of activities my son is involved in. His confidence has come to no end. This last year has been challenging for everyone, but the whole team at Teddies Tots Day Nursery have made such great efforts to support the children and parents through this. There are much closer nurseries to where we live, but Teddies Tots Day Nursery is by far the best. wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

We love the nursery! Our daughter had attended for the last few months. As she is a lockdown baby, we were worried about her lack of interaction with new people (adults and children), but she has settled in so well thanks to all the staff! She adores attending and has come on leaps and bounds with everything,
and we are so happy we chose Teddies Tots.
We are greeted with a smile on drop off and pick up.

We couldn’t ask for a better nursery for our two girls. It’s my eldest’s last few months at Teddies, and I’m so sad she’ll be leaving (she started in August 2017), but I know she’s had the best experience and preparation for primary school. Couldn’t recommend the nursery enough!

Such a fantastic nursery which our children have been going to for over 2-years and they love it. Our children have formed strong bonds with both children and staff, and the staff genuinely care for the children's safety and wellbeing, creating a well-balanced fun environment, and we parents are kept
well informed on progress and what's coming up. The nursery has lots of fun events throughout the year that both children and staff immerse themselves in, and we enjoy seeing pictures, hearing all about the fun from our littles ones and seeing all the things they have made. The staff put a lot of effort into making the children's time at nursery fun, enjoyable and educational. We travel further afield just so that our children can attend such a great nursery. We can't thank them enough and would highly recommend it.

The staff are so lovely and really put my mind at ease when my son started here. They have a great set up and are so caring, and it’s helped with my son's development massively. They have so much fun and learn through play and cater to your needs. I feel very comfortable knowing he is so happy here.

My son has been attending Teddies since he was 17-months and is now 4-years old, heading into his last few months at the setting.
The first thing to comment on would definitely be the amazing and welcoming attitude of all staff. The staff at Teddies have been so helpful to us, especially when my son
has gone through certain milestones - toilet training, letting go of a dummy. They have been instrumental in my son's development into a young boy. He has had a connection with all staff that have worked with him, and this has really helped him with his social skills too.
The staff are always coming up with new ways for children to learn, and it's apparent that they adapt their learning style to suit each child.
The setting itself has a very homely feel, and staff have worked hard to make it this way for children and parents alike.
My son is already talking about how he'll miss the staff and nursery when he leaves for school. Thank you, Teddies!

My son has been attending for the last 4-months; he started at 13-months-old and settled in fast. He enjoys it very much, especially the soft play area that they have. I viewed 4 nursery’s and found this one to be the best and outshine the others with regards to facilities, cleanliness and carers understanding
of a parents anxiety at leaving their children for the first time. The carers do a fabulous job and ensure he is well taken care of in all aspects. I highly recommend this nursery.

Teddies Tots Day Nursery has been the perfect, supportive and nurturing environment for our neurodiverse child. We are grateful everyday that we chose this nursery. I love the feel that the staff and children are like a family and that our son feels genuinely cared for. Communication has been excellent
and we especially appreciate the new app. The activities arranged and the corresponding photos are much appreciated.

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was eleven months old and is now currently in upper preschool. She has loved every day there and is always so happy to go. All the staff in every room she has been in have been brilliant and I feel she has developed extremely well in this setting and should
be fully school prepared! Every aspect of her care has been taken care of with amazing detail and the staff are great at communicating!

Teddies Tots Day Nursery have done nothing but nurture and support our daughter since the moment she stepped foot in the door. She comes bounding out so excited about her day. Her speech has improved massively and she’s always so proud of all the drawings and paintings she’s done. We love this nursery
and have recommended it to many friends already.

My eldest son started here when he was one and left last year to start school and my youngest son now goes as well. My boys loved and love the nursery
and enjoyed and enjoy going everyday. The facilities are great and the management are continually investing in it. I have recommended Teddies Tots day Nursery to lots of people.

A lovely nursery that I would highly recommend. My child has attended for over three years. Staff have always been highly professional, attentive and supportive throughout that time. Staff retention is excellent which is very reassuring and as a result I feel my child has received continuity of care
to support their development. Excellent communication with families, which has been further developed in response to the current time, to use of the app which is frequently updated with photos and relevant information. The app means you get an insight into the day of your child at nursery and all the activities they have been doing.

My son has been going to Teddies Tots Day Nursery for nearly three years and he absolutely loves it. Every staff member has such a skill with children, my son goes in and leaves with such a smile on his face and has made a really sweet group of friends there. Every day there are so many activities for
them to do and make a learning activity of every cultural holiday which I think is so good, especially considering the importance of inclusion teaching from young ages. I’m so happy that we are able to go to Teddies Tots Day Nursery and they’ve really helped my son so much. I also love the fact they encourage outside use in their little garden and the children love it.

This nursery is brilliantly run. Our son has been going to Teddies Tots Day Nursery since just before his first birthday and is now in the lower preschool. He absolutely loves it, he has learnt a range of new skills and has come on leaps and bounds. Staff are so friendly and keep us up to date via the
app which is really useful. They also do lots of development plans to see how he’s doing. All in all it’s a great nursery, dedicated staff, well run and cannot ask much more from the Teddies Tots Day Nursery team.

Teddies Tots Day Nursery is a home away from home for my babies. I have two children at Teddies Tots Day Nursery, one for the last three and a half years and due to leave soon, he will be so sad and another little one who has just stared in the last few months. She was a Covid-19 baby so was super clingy,
nervous and instantly settled due to their warm atmosphere and ways. I love how much they do with the children, the cooking, the amazing and unusual ideas they do in craft, silly and messy play, fun in the sun and out and about walks. Not to mention the most recent effort they put in for preparing them for school. I’m impressed at every angle. Happy mummy.

I’ve had two children in this nursery and have always loved it, as have my children. This review is purely for the last year though and how well they managed our children’s needs as well as their staff in the pandemic. As a parent, they made me feel safe and secure in the knowledge that our children
were safe. They had many provisions in place that weren’t easy to change with children that age. They always communicate everything and my children are extremely happy there. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking and will be sad when my kids leave.

Teddies Tots Day Nursery is a great nursery, my child has been with them since she was twelve weeks old and they have cared and nurtured her since then. The staff are great and think of imaginative, fun and varied activities. The staff care about the children and want them to get a good start to their
education whilst having fun and building social skills. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Teddies Tots Day Nursery 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.850 for Teddies Tots Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (363 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 407 Ratings = 4.85

  • 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 Teddies Tots Day Nursery is based on 33 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 33 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.
