My daughter looks forward to her days in nursery every week.
She has formed amazing bonds with the ladies and little friends within her group.
I feel like they really know my daughter and understand her character and she is flourishing in pre-school.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since April 2024. At the beginning she really struggled with adjusting being away from me but the staff in her room were so patient with her and set up a plan to slowly get her used to her new setting at her own pace. After the settling in period she started
to really thrive, making great relationships with the staff in her room as well as socialising with children in her age group. All staff that have cared for my daughter have been fantastic and just ooze with care for the children they care for. The new activities that are set up in the children's room everyday ensure a fun learning experience. Management are always helpful and friendly and answer any questions you may have. What I also like about this nursery is that each month they have a few days dedicated to something encouraging the children to dress up, wear a certain colour or accessory which gives the children something to look forwards to.

It's a terrifying experience handing over your child to a group of strangers. And yet within weeks we noted that our child's confidence had skyrocketed thanks to the truly wonderful staff at Tiddlywinks Nursery. Nestled away near a sprawling woods, the nursery is a perfect environment of warmth, safety
and fun. Highly skilled and experienced individuals within the team have helped our child progress over the past few years. With regular meetings, open days and parent playdays, there are no concerns or niggles of doubt. The team work incredibly hard yet clearly have fun at the same time and this is passed on to the children with their diverse personalities and expertise. The food is fresh, healthy and diverse. The chef clearly enjoys their work and there's not a turkey twizzler or bottle of orange drink insight. The rooms are immaculate as the cleaners make it a sense of pride in providing the environment needed for the children and staff.

I had changed my child's nursery and since starting at Tiddlywinks Nursery my child has come on in leaps and bounds. He has developed in a short space of time. He loves going to nursery as the staff are so friendly and caring. I find the staff easy to talk to and very welcoming and always make me feel
at ease. Fantastic nursery highly recommend.

My daughter has attended this nursery just over a year now. From the minute she started, I felt comfortable leaving her knowing she was going to be well taken care of. The detail on handovers at the end of the day and sharing updates of what my daughter gets up to on a daily basis, is great to see.
She recently went on a trip to Manchester City Centre, which was great for her to experience. She always talks very highly of pretty much all of the nursery staff (anyone she has come across) and I have been able to see where staff have really made the effort to bond with my daughter. I would be more than happy recommending this nursery. Our experience has been amazing.

My son has attended Tiddlywinks since he was seven months old, they have always gone above and beyond for his care. He has additional needs both learning and medical and the girls have always kept him safe. The care that they have given my boy has been amazing. They have been a support network for both
me and my little boy. I can't thank them enough, his face when I pick him up from nursery is a picture he enjoys every day he's there and the attention and care to detail the staff give the children is just amazing. The warm welcoming atmosphere each day we attend allows me to leave my son there cared and looked after by an amazing group of people.

My little boy has settled into nursery so well, I felt at ease leaving him with the staff at Tiddlywinks as my eldest also attended and everyone is so lovely. My little boy has only been at nursery for a few weeks and already has such a lovely bond with his key worker, he is her little shadow. Thank
you to everyone who has made his settling-in period so easy and relaxed.

We couldn't be happier with our choice to move our 18-month-old from his previous nursery to Tiddlywinks, straight away from our initial visit we felt at ease, all the staff are warm and friendly and treat our boy like their own. The app is brilliant, we're updated with pictures and development steps,
putting us at ease while we're at work. The facilities are great and they have chickens which our boy is fascinated with. We highly recommend this nursery.

After visiting 5 different nurseries in the area for my 8 month old and not feeling the right vibe I decided to look a little further out to Tiddlywinks and I am so pleased I did. From the ambience in reception to meeting all the women who work there it is clear to see why they have an outstanding Ofsted
report. They treat my son like their own and he absolutely adores them. Receiving regular pictures and detailed updates on his development is amazing. It’s truly so much more than just childcare. As someone who didn’t think I’d ever be able to leave my child in anyone else’s care due to anxiety, we have already increased his days from 2-3 and will be increasing to 4 as he gets older. We live hours away from any friends or family so Tiddlywinks has become our village and we are so grateful to them for giving our son an incredible environment to thrive.

When I looked around Tiddlywinks Nursery in Walmersley, it was a lovely experience. The staff are warm, friendly and welcoming, they were proud to show off their wonderful work and lovely environment. The nursery felt like a safe and happy place and ultimately this is why I chose it. My child started
in February 2024 and has really settled in. The ladies are lovely with her and welcome her in with a smile every morning. The app is amazing as it keeps you up to date throughout the day! On collection, the handover is amazing, very detailed and informative. My child is very happy here and enjoys going to nursery.

Fantastic nursery. My daughter who is 19 months and in the baby room loves it here. The staff are always kind, caring and helpful. They helped her settle in so well and she is thriving thanks to the nursery. My 6-year-old daughter uses the out-of-school club which she loves. The nursery has allowed
me to work knowing both my children are in safe hands.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.951 for Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley is calculated as follows: ( (353 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.951

  • 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 Walmersley is based on 31 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 120 number of registered child places is 24, which has been reached with 31 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.
