They are all the best! They care so much about the well-being of your children the education is brilliant my little one has learnt so much and more importantly they have allowed her to go at her own pace. Making me feel at ease that I’m not doing anything wrong. They have shown my little girl how to
care for animals by having chickens, rabbits and a tortoise which I believe is something that should be encouraged at a young age. They do stay-and-play sessions so we can spend time understanding what they do and it gives us an opportunity to play with them. They also do parent gatherings to give us an overview about how our child develops when I speak to my friends their nursery doesn’t do these things. It’s very homely and feels like myself and my little girl are part of one big family.

It’s a massive deal leaving your baby for the first time when returning to work but I wouldn’t leave my baby boy with anybody else. From the very start, he has been so settled and the staff make such an effort with him. It’s very clear how much they care. The management makes everything so easy and
is really approachable, any issues are sorted straight away and it completely puts your mind at ease knowing it’s so well run.

Since my daughter started at Tiddlywinks Nursery they have been so warm and welcoming towards myself and my daughter. They have made sure that she has settled in well and I can see a massive improvement in her development from just being at the nursery. I could not be happier with the staff at Tiddlywinks
Nursery.

Dear Tiddlywinks I would like to thank you for the overall experience my child enjoys. The way my child looks forward to coming is always a good sign. the staff are friendly and they try to answer any questions I may have but sometimes there seems to be a lack of communication.

Amazing nursery with great facilities and entertainment for the children, the staff are so attentive and you can tell by how happy the kids are that they’re well looked after, every time I pick up my daughter she’s as bright as ever - I can tell she’s had a fun-filled day. The daily communication is
excellent from staff, couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. They’re very focused on the children’s development, I’m most impressed with how my daughter has excelled during her time here.

My son has been coming to the nursery for 2 years now and my 11-month-old daughter has just started. She has been welcomed into the nursery and settled in very well. My son loves coming in he has so much fun and has a great relationship with all the staff, his knowledge, speech and confidence have come
on leaps and bounds. I love the communication on the family app and get to see pictures throughout the day. All staff cater for both food allergies and are very understanding.

I feel like they take the time to get to know her on a personal level and encourage her development greatly. They have really tried to help her settle in and I get regular updates throughout the
day.

From the initial tour, I knew that this was going to be the nursery for our child. The deputy manager is warm and reassuring... she showcases the nursery with confidence, guiding you through the rooms and introducing you to key staff. I was comforted to see the ‘homely’ and ‘nurturing’ feel at the nursery,
alongside the evident progression in learning across the rooms, this is exceptional. The room staff have all been fantastic...reassuring me as a first-time mum, with regular messages on the app, face-to-face handovers and photographs.
I know that my child is in safe hands...and I know he will acquire the foundations of play and learning at Tiddlywinks, I can’t wait to see his journey through!

When deciding what nursery to send my child to, communication was essential. Not only do the staff provide continuous updates on my child's activity, but they also fully debrief me on collection and really emphasise on any milestones my child may have reached. The level of effort and care both myself
and my child receive from the staff is above and beyond my expectations.

We chose this nursery because we loved the staff, energy and atmosphere on our visit. There is always a new activity or project for the children to do which we know we wouldn’t do at home so we know our child is having an enriching day.
The staff are welcoming and friendly making us feel that we can
approach them should we ever have any concerns. They are knowledgeable and watch the children closely, making great observations and keeping us well-informed.
Our child has grown in confidence in just a matter of weeks down to the dedicated staff. It was daunting sending our firstborn to nursery but the manager and her team have made the transition easy for us and pay attention to detail in terms of our little one’s needs. This is one of the most important events for parents as they will remember this time forever so it’s great that we’ve had this excellent experience.

My son has been attending Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley since January 2021! He struggled to settle at first due to always being at home with me and his dad, but wow within three weeks he settled amazingly! The ladies were amazing with him and gave him so much support! Then in September 2022, my little
boy was moved up to the preschool room. He really struggled with this transition for a while! But I can't thank the staff and management enough for all their hard work and support for my son. He now attends nursery full-time and loves going! Always happy and clean when I go for him! Thank you ladies for all your hard work and continued support with my child's additional needs, it's very much appreciated.

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.
