Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has been attending Tiddlywinks Nursery Walmersley since February 2022 and I am absolutely thrilled with how well my son has settled into this nursery, given bad experiences with other settings. The girls are absolutely amazing, they do nothing but reassure me (first-time mum), are always warm
and welcoming at drop off and always provide an amazing handover at pick up. I currently now work out of the area and due to a great support network I've managed to keep my son at this nursery as I could not vision him anywhere else. My son can't yet talk but every time we approach the nursery he's smiling and babbling holding out his arms - that speaks volumes. My son absolutely loves going to nursery. The manager - what a superstar! She does nothing but put my mind at rest even though I asked 101 questions (sorry to the manager). The manager will move mountains to make sure your needs are met 100% and do everything to make sure your child is happy and that parents/family is happy! Highly recommend!

Tiddlywinks have been amazing with my little girl, she started at 9 months and she's come along so much. The staff and really attentive and lovely people, they really have the children's best interest and development at heart. My daughter loves going to nursery. They have an amazing variety of fun and
games along with the learning and she had a wide variety of meals every day.

We find Tiddlywinks to be an excellent place for the development of our children. We get regular feedback via an app that allows us to keep track of what they have been doing. Particularly credit has to be given to the catering team as both children are fed varied and interesting foods that caters to
their dietary restrictions.

Since starting at Tiddlywinks, our daughter has absolutely thrived and thoroughly enjoys her time there. The team work hard to ensure there are lots of different activities and are extremely supportive of both children and parents. It’s a daunting task finding a nursery for your child, but I would not
hesitate in recommending Tiddlywinks.

All the staff are very warm, welcoming and approachable. There are regular daily updates via the app, of your child’s progress and on collection, the staff always have the time to listen and answer questions. Good home-cooked hearty foods are provided on the menu weekly. My child is always happy going
to nursery and he has good relationships with the staff there, who always meet his needs and beyond.

Tiddlywinks have really helped my partner's son come on massively over the last few months. They keep us up to date with what he is doing, what he is eating and how his days have been. As he has needed a little support over the last few months they are all doing the best they can to help him settle
and we are all so thankful for every single staff member here. The staff here go above and beyond for the children and will do anything they can to make them feel welcome and settled. We think he has come on leaps and bounds since coming here. The staff are not only helping my partner's son but also helping both sides of the family in what we can do as a whole to help and showing us home activities which we can use daily to help him. Me and my partner would recommend the nursery to everyone.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Both of my children - one nine-year-old and one two-and-a-half-year-old, have been going for years and thoroughly enjoy going. The before and after school clubs have lots of activities to do and the holiday club always has a great contact that she enjoys. My two-and-a-half-year-old
always comes home with lots of stories about her day and is advanced for her age, due to the care and attention of all of the staff.
The new management team have changed lots of things for the better and the staff are extremely helpful and understanding if I ever need to discuss any concerns that I have. All of the staff are extremely friendly and always look very happy in their work.

I cannot express how much I would recommend this nursery. My little girl is always happy when I drop her off and collect her, she has a bond with her keyworker who went above and beyond to ensure she was settled and that I felt comfortable leaving her. The management are always on hand if I need advice,
and every staff member that has greeted me has always been friendly and happy. The fact I get regular updates on my little girl's day-to-day activities and I can see what she is learning and doing makes me feel at ease. I wouldn't send her anywhere else.

My little boy has different needs to other children and doesn't settle well with strangers or social circles but the team here have been second to none with him and he absolutely loves coming to nursery. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. My son has come on in leaps and bounds since
starting here and I can't thank them enough. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone - they are outstanding.

My daughter started at this nursery just after her 2nd birthday and was incredibly nervous and struggled to transition into nursery but the staff here are amazing! The management team treat you like your child is the only child there, which fills you with confidence that your child is being cared for.
My daughter had two key workers over the 11 months she was there both of which completely understood her and made her feel incredibly settled, nurtured, and safe. Can’t speak highly enough of Tiddlywinks’s Walmersley. Thank you all, we’ll miss you!

Tiddlywinks is a brilliant nursery, and my little girl loves going twice a week. Her speech and understanding have come on so much since she started, and the staff in the tweenies room have really supported her to become more independent without her comforter. I have no doubt she will continue to make
great progress at Tiddlywinks.

I cannot praise this nursery highly enough. My 2-year-old gets excited as soon as he knows he’s going, and it’s a lovely feeling knowing he’s so well cared for whilst I’m at work.
They keep me updated with regular contact via the parent app, so I get to know everything that he is doing from meals to
activities and see photos of him via this.
They always go the extra mile and gave out flowers for Mother’s Day, which I thought was a lovely touch.
Would highly recommend it!

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.
