My little boy has been going to Tigers Swindon since he was 8 months old, he absolutely loves his time there and I'm always told how extremely happy he has been all day. He has an amazing relationship with his key worker, and the rest of the staff. Putting his arms out to them in the morning always
fills me with confidence we made the right choice! I cannot fault anyone in the baby room at all, and I'm sure as he grows and moves rooms he will have the same experiences. His eating, his social development and even his sleeping has improved since attending. There is a very personable feel to Tigers Swindon, they get to know your child and cater to their needs, not breaking any routine or norms you have at home.

My child is so happy here. All staff have been welcoming, positive and available to talk to. It's very reassuring to receive updates on the app about his sleeping, eating, nappy changes and photos of happy moments. He settled here very quickly, it's been a great fit for us.

Tigers at Swindon Day Nursery had been very close to my heart for over 4 years. My first child grew up at this nursery from baby to preschool and my second child started there as a baby. The staff are amazing with the children and help with each child’s needs very well as well as help with their development.
The nursery itself is clean and tidy and very well looked after. I would recommend Tigers to every parent with how amazing they are. They also have a great garden for outside play and other amazing spaces. They have a great variety of meals, also suitable for all dietary requirements.

My child has been with Tigers at Swindon Day Nursery for almost a year and she has blossomed and grown tremendously! I’ve watched her learn to play with others and care for others as she has been cared for by the staff. It’s wonderful to watch her grow into a real little human with their teachings and
encouragement. It is the best place to have put her!

The nursery is very good with my son. He is well looked after. They encourage learning and assess his development regularly. He always seems very happy when I go to pick him up. All the activities he does are varied. The app communication is mostly good but some days there is nothing uploaded.

My son enjoys every element of nursery - playing, learning and the staff. It’s amazing to see the progression he is making with new words, new things he can do and new games. He loves the staff and they always give a full review of his day - what they’ve done, what he’s eaten etc.

My little boy started Tigers at Swindon when he was in the baby room, he is now in pre school and loves coming in each and every day! He was very clingy and quiet when starting Tigers and has since turned into a confident and chatty little boy! He also has an allergy and they have been very cautious
with this making sure all his meals are completely dairy free! I would recommend Tigers to any parent I know! I love the bonds he has created with many of the staff members throughout his time at nursery and he loves coming home and telling me all about his friends and how his day has been.

My little boy has been coming to this nursery since the baby room! He is now in the toddler room and loves coming to nursery to see his friends and staff! He enjoys being outside and always comes home messy, proving he’s had a great and fun day! He’s built bonds with all staff and talks about them at
home and also his friends who he plays with.

I am a mother of a child at Tigers Swindon (Delta) and would like to share my thoughts on how well our little one has settled in. We had first enrolled him when he was 20 months old and had to pull him out for a big gap of a month and a half. When we got back, he was moved to the next room and we were
a bit concerned as to how he was going to cope. But to our surprise, he was okay in just a few days and settled in really quickly. Thanks to the lovely staff for providing that care, as otherwise, it would have been a tough time for us (parents). He thoroughly enjoys going into the nursery and loves to learn a lot of new things. He has become so confident that we can see he is able to socialise with people very well. I would highly recommend the nursery. Excellent staff and excellent care!

Having been a parent of Tigers @ Swindon some 4/5 years ago, I didn’t hesitate to enrol my youngest daughter. My little one has some additional health factors and the staff have listened intently to everything I’ve said and I have really valued their openness to any adaptations that may be required.
My daughter has not been in childcare previously and I was anxious about how she would settle. I cannot commend the staff enough for their abilities with the children, after a few settling in sessions and the first-week hurdle my little one goes into nursery and will happily wave bye-bye. The communication via the app is really easy and gives a good update about what has happened that day. I would highly recommend Tigers to any prospective parent, particularly those with babies and are having some anxiety around settling their little one.

My son has settled into this nursery so well. After changing from another setting, I was worried, but he's doing amazingly well! He even askes to go on the days he's not sure in. From what I've seen so far, the communication with parents is amazing, and I know what he's doing most of the day. This seems
to be a very happy and caring nursery, and I couldn't be happier I found it for my son and relieved they still had space for him to attend.

Staff were quick to ensure the needs of my child were met. My son has always been wary of other adults but quickly settled into the setting. I felt comfortable being able to leave him with the girls and know he would be comfortable and happy. The girls helped me feel reassured every step of the way,
and my son has gained so much confidence within the last few weeks.
I think the outside space could be bigger and there aren’t many toys to play with outside. The meals given are of good quality, but the children aren’t offered snacks throughout the day, which I thought they were.

Tigers is an excellent nursery. It took me weeks searching and visiting nurseries in Swindon before I found Tigers. This has been the best decision I ever made. My son has been going since he was five months old and he is one year old now, the staff/nursery are like family. I feel we work together to
give him the best. I feel safe and confident leaving him at Tigers whilst I work, I know he is cared for, he is thriving way above his age, happy, confident and sociable little boy and that's thanks to us all working as a team. They really do take time to know your child. Highly recommend Tigers.

Fantastic staff, reliable and understanding. I have a child that suffers from anxiety and this nursery has done wonders for her, she is a different child, now settled at school. An excellent environment a very chilled atmosphere for the children. Very skilled ladies, all of them are really lovely with
the adults and the kids. I have four children all in different schools/nurseries and this is the best nursery I have dealt with.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.006)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.006) out of 10 for Tigers at Swindon 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.944 for Tigers at Swindon Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 4.062 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tigers at Swindon Day Nursery is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.462

  • 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.
