My daughter has attended the nursery from 8 months old and she is now 3. She loves going to the nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and really make the children feel at ease. The activities are fun and varied, as well as contributing to the children's development.
The information and
communication provided by the nursery makes me as a parent feel confident that my child is happy and safe. They also take care to make sure the children and parents are comfortable with the initial integration into nursery and then into each new room as the children move up.

This is the most amazing nursery. My son adores going, not only is he so well cared for, but I feel he is loved.
The standard of care is excellent and most importantly my son has fun. He has been going since he was 7-months-old and he is now nearly 3. They feel like part of our family.

This nursery is just simply amazing. From the minute you arrive, you are constantly met with the most friendly staff. The ladies are so unbelievably professional, and hand on the heart, like second mums to the children. My son has been there since he was 10-months-old, and hand heart, wouldn't take
him anywhere else. Even now with covid going on the nursery manager is going above and beyond, and constantly sending out communication for us parents and little adventures for the children to do. The staff genuinely care about the children and constantly make memories with them. I do have to say the cook here is unreal as well, the children eat better then I do! Can't recommend this nursery enough.

Tiggy-Winkles previously looked after my son prior to him going to school and currently look after my daughter. I feel 100% confident and trust all the nursery staff with my daughter, her learning, confidence and development. Since being at Tiggy-Winkles she has gone from strength to strength. Any questions
big or small are answered openly and honestly by all the staff. My daughter is very happy at nursery and has built up excellent relationships with all staff. I would highly recommend Tiggy-Winkles Nursery to anyone.

Vibrant, welcoming, friendly nursery. Our daughter loves the time she spends here. Staff are helpful, approachable and extremely capable. They make an effort to know each and every child no matter which room they are in and continually engage with parents updating them on their childs progress, in addition
to the nursery tracking app. Learning is structured and fun and meals are healthy, tasty and varied. It feels like one big happy family and we cannot give enough thanks and praise.

My daughter joined Tiggys-Winkles when she was just over a year old right up to finishing the August before starting primary school.
Tiggy-Winkles isn’t just a nursery, it’s like being part of a big family! Through every change into the new rooms, the staff made it an easy transition, she came on
leaps and bounds whilst here!
The staff give their all, and it shows in the happiness of the children. Of course, we would get a few tears some mornings, but usually, on those days I couldn’t then get her to come home!
She made some great friends and so did I, with parents and staff that we are in regular contact with now almost a year on!
Would highly recommend!

My son has been going to Tiggy-Winkles since 2018, and now he is in Pre-School. He loves it and definitely made lots of friends. When my son started going to nursery, he couldn't get his words out properly, was a fussy eater and as a single parent, it was a struggle. Tiggy-Winkles made sure I got all
the help I need. Now my son will try different types of food, it was amazing. He'll participate in a group dance, storytimes, singing, play with other kids, communicate well with the kids and the staff. My son learned a lot, talks a lot, and he is more confident than ever. My son is now potty trained too. Tiggy-Winkles is great! I couldn't thank them enough for everything they have done for my son. So thank you, Tiggy-Winkles Day Nursery, Warrington.

My children have both attended Tiggy-Winkles Say Nursery. My first child started in 2013, and my youngest child still attends today.
He will soon leave to start school in September, and this will be a very sad time for us as a family. Tiggy-Winkles is an exceptional nursery that provides superior
standards of education and care to all the children.
Their outstanding Ofsted report reflects this.
They go above and beyond to provide excellent education, keeping parents up to date with regular communication.
The nursery is very clean, the classrooms are a generous size with lots of learning opportunities within them.
The outside area is just the right size, and this also provides lots of stimulation and learning opportunities for the children.
The staff are extremely friendly, always smiling and extremely welcoming.
The class staff provide excellent handovers when your child is collected and always allocate time to talk to you about your child's day.
This is an exceptional nursery.

We can't thank Tiggy-Winkles and the amazing staff enough. Our daughter has come on so much since joining, where her social skills and confidence has come on leaps and bounds. She has also moved up classes since joining, and the transition is exceptional when it comes to our child being completely prepared
to move rooms. Absolutely no problems in recommending Tiggy-Winkles with the highest standards.

Our son has now attended Tiggy-Winkles for a year, and we can tell he really enjoys himself where he has formed lovely bonds with other children and staff alike.
The nursery is always well presented and clean with the rooms always set up brilliantly each day. The staff are friendly and show good interest
in your child and us as a family.
The food always smells absolutely delicious, and I know they have a broad menu to suit all dietary needs/requirements.
The nursery has a great outdoor space with lots of different apparatus/areas to keep the children stimulated, which we know our son absolutely loves.
We would definitely recommend Tiggy-Winkles. The staff are friendly and professional, and most importantly, our son seems happy and content, so all is fabulous!
Thanks.

I can not praise Tiggy-Winkles enough; they do an amazing job with all the children. It’s a fun and loving environment as soon as you walk through the door. I have seen my little girl come on so much, and it makes me smile seeing how much she enjoys nursery life. I would 100% recommend Tiggy-Winkles
to anyone. Thank you for all you do ladies.

My child has been going to Tiggy Winkles since she was eight months old and now she is four and leaving in September to start her new adventure. I would recommend the nursery and have in the past to anyone looking for a fantastic place to send their kids.
The staff have all been great throughout the
room changes while she has been growing up there, everyone is always happy to chat about anything and gives their time to help. She has been happy and bonded with her teachers she met along the way, and she has come on in herself since going to nursery, this has been fantastic which is also down to them. She loves learning and showing me all the stuff she has completed in the day.
They also have a nursery app that can also review what progress she is doing at nursery.

My little boy started in June 2019 and I cannot praise Tiggy-Winkles for how much he has come on since then! He settles very quick and has a lovely bond with his key worker! It's lovely to go online and see all the different activities he gets up to when he is there. The handover at the end of the day
is fabulous and nothing is ever too much trouble for them!

Could not praise Tiggy-Winkles highly enough. A warm welcoming environment that makes both parents and children feel at ease. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, and absolutely loves going to nursery. Any questions I had were dealt with immediately and concisely. Nothing is too much trouble as
they consistently work together with parents alongside keeping us informed to ensure the best outcome for the children. My daughter is not treated as a number but as an individual and I couldn't be happier with our choice of care.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.524)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.524) out of 10 for Cherry Tree Nursery School 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.924 for Cherry Tree Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.924

  • 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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherry Tree Nursery School is based on 12 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.6

  • 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.
