  • Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints, Cirencester
At Tiny Tots Nursery they aim to provide a personal nursery service that exceeds the expectations and needs of every family that comes to them. Their setting is a welcoming environment for children, and they offer four separate rooms which will provide progressive learning opportunities as your child grows and develops.

Their mission is to consistently deliver the highest standard of care and they are dedicated to making each child's experience of their nursery happy, full of fun and stimulating. With the needs of each individual child foremost in their minds, their approach is holistic, considering each child's personality, interests, needs, family background, religion and culture.

Whilst they have created an outside space for the children to play, they are extremely fortunate to have both a large open green space (English Heritage Amphitheatre and park) and open woodland area on their doorstep, for regular outings. The children also benefit from access to the soft-play centre which features a wide range of play and sensory equipment.

Located on the outskirts of Cirencester, (less than 5 minutes' drive from the town centre), they have ample free parking for safe drop off and pick up.

Tiny Tots has been a fantastic first nursery for our son who has been there 6 months now for 3 days a week. We have seen such a positive impact on the behaviour, development and overall wellbeing of our son. This is really down to his amazing key worker and all the other staff members at Tiny Tots.
It is clear to see they all genuinely care for the children and we can see that our son is fond of the staff too, which was comforting in the initial settling period. We love using the mobile app to keep updated with him during the day. The activities are varied and the option to go to soft play is a big plus for our energetic toddler. We recently had a 2-year review, as our son transitions to a room with older children, which was very helpful and informative for his development. We highly recommend Tiny Tots!

Reply from Bonnie Badham, Nursery Manager at Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints

Thank you for your wonderful review. Your son is doing so well here at Tiny Tots and we are pleased you are so happy with the progress he has made and thank you for the lovely comments about the staff and activities. I will pass this onto them.

I can’t speak highly enough for this nursery. My two children absolutely love going and have made some amazing memories. The staff are so kind, patient and fun. I feel so confident leaving them in their care for the day. It’s also a brilliant bonus that there’s a soft play attached which my daughter
at 3 years old, enjoyed so much! I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking!

I cannot recommend Tiny Tots highly enough! Both of our sons have been attending 2 days per week (3-years-old and 1-year-old) and we have seen a definite positive difference in both of them, in terms of their confidence and development. The staff (primarily their key workers) are all really lovely!
Both boys have developed a great relationship with them and I honestly feel they have both been very well matched. They are always professional, polite, friendly and kind and I couldn’t be more comfortable with our sons being in their care!

I have had the most positive experience with the nursery. The whole team couldn’t be friendlier and more helpful. They really put me at ease when my son first started and made the transition so wonderful. The activities that they offer and communication with parents is brilliant too. My son seems to
be thriving. I would recommend it to anyone!

We are very happy with the decision to send our daughter to Tiny Tots, and are very excited for our youngest to start in a few months time! The nursery is a lovely space, with excellent facilities, space to play outdoors and access to the soft play area next door. The staff are lovely, and have demonstrated
a great bond with our daughter - who talks about them all at length when she gets home. I really love that activities are varied and the children get an opportunity to go on occasional outings. Our daughter has developed and learnt so much since attending - much to the credit of the wonderful staff at Tiny Tots. Thank you!

Our child is in absolute love with this nursery. This is their new nursery, I was worried they would struggle after being elsewhere but I’ve never seen such excitement at drop off’s in the morning and happiness at pick ups! The staff are friendly, take time to talk about how the day went, what they
got up to etc. They pick a topic each week to focus on and make things relating to this and then use it for play. It doesn’t seem to be just a case or ‘drawing a picture’ or ‘playing with a toy’ - it all relates to the theme that week which is great. We are so pleased and are at ease completely; our littlest will also join soon and we cannot wait to see how they get on, they have had a taster session and loved it. I would really recommend this nursery.

Reply from Bonnie Badham, Nursery Manager at Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints

Thank you for your review. Your little one has settled in so well and we are delighted your family chose Tiny Tots. The staff follow the children's interests and chose topics that support this and extend their natural curiosity. We cant wait to welcome your next child.

Our 2-year-old daughter has been going to Tiny Tots for over 6 months and the care and support she receives every day is 5 star. The staff are always kind and friendly and seem genuinely passionate about the children's happiness and development. There is a really lovely culture - open and friendly.
There are so many activities, resources and themes, and they make good use of the lovely garden and nearby open spaces. They are very open so parents are welcome to look around and ask questions, they also have events where we are encouraged to visit with our child and meet with all the staff and parents, which has been so enjoyable. Every day our daughter is so happy both at drop off and pick up and this is testament to the hard work, kindness, care and relationships the staff have built with her. She loves it here and we are so grateful to the manager and all the team for everything they do, thank you all! I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

My 2.5-year-old granddaughter started at this nursery when it opened and she absolutely loves going to it. Runs into it every morning. When she leaves, she's always chattering and telling us all about her day. The ladies are so lovely and genuinely caring. They have a huge range of activities. Amazing
menus too, encouraging a healthy diet. Cannot rate it enough!

A huge thank you to the amazing and dedicated team for taking such wonderful care of my little boy. He has been at Tiny Tots for 6 months and he absolutely adores it. I was so nervous about starting him at nursery because he was with me all day every day for 18 months (hello pandemic). The nursery is
beautiful inside with a fabulous outdoor space. I’m actually a bit jealous of all the fun activities and crafts the kids get to do! Most importantly, the team there go above and beyond to provide not just a fun place to play and learn but a safe, loving and caring space. They are really an extension of our village. Thank you.

A brilliant nursery. We moved to Cirencester from London over the summer so did a tour of the nursery before it opened. Other nurseries were opening in Cirencester at the same time but Tiny Tots stood out, due to their fantastic manager and also due to the fact that the children could get some exercise
in the soft play each day. I have been so impressed with everything ever since. I was quite nervous about my youngest starting at nursery due to her being at home with me during the pandemic for so long but she adjusted very quickly, supported by the staff. All of the girls in the nursery are fantastic and really listen to the parents' requests. I am quite precious about my daughter's sleep times and they have respected this completely so that it doesn't cause issues at bedtime. I cannot fault this nursery at all. I wish my eldest child's nursery in London had been as good as this nursery!

What a fabulous nursery! My children love attending Tiny Tots and talk about it all the time, telling me all the different things they have done throughout the day. The staff are all lovely, always smiling and so supportive and knowledgeable. They have attended since the nursery first opened in August
2021 and all the amazing things the manager and her team implement are great and parents are kept informed, via the app. Can't recommend this nursery highly enough.

My son started at Tiny Tots in September when I went back to work, he was only 7 months and only just started bottles. He absolutely loves it at Tiny Tots and they are all great with him. When he started, he couldn't even sit up and now at 10 months, he's crawling and even cruising. It's great, as a
lot of times, I pick up they are in soft play. The app is amazing as I can check how he is while at work. All the staff clearly care for all the children in the nursery. They are always at the door with a smile (under the mask) it's great that the soft play/nursery dog Pepsi comes in too.

Thank you for your review. We can't believe how well your son is developing - there is no stopping him. The soft play centre is definitely a huge hit with the children - they love the sensory area and then exploring the bigger soft play frames.

My daughter loves this nursery, it is always nerve-racking taking them to a nursery for the first time. Instantly knew this was the one. On the day to look around, my daughter took a shining to the place and fell in love so much so, that I couldn't get her to leave! She was having so much fun playing
with everything. The girls are so good with her and she loves all the staff that work there. Their outdoor space is lovely, as well as all the rooms and toys they have to play with inside. Having access to the soft play is a bonus. We are the first ones to arrive in the morning and often last to leave at night time. The staff are all so welcoming and friendly, they are patient and have such a lovely manner with the children and parents.

Our child was a lockdown baby and our first child, so finding childcare was a new and daunting task. We felt it was crucial for her development to socialise with as many other babies/children/adults as possible in a safe and secure environment, as the opportunities to do this in her early life had been
next to nonexistent. The nursery was a new establishment as of Aug 2021, which meant all the spaces, equipment and toys were new and fit for purpose. It is well laid out to allow for growth and development and enables children to be placed in the most appropriate room for their age and development. We have seen many new members of staff joining the team since the opening and each staff member has been warm and friendly at every drop off/pick-up and our daughter is happy to see them each day. We are kept well informed of progress via an app that allows direct messaging to the Manager, as well as in-person updates when we come to collect our daughter. We are so grateful to the Tiny Tots team!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.414)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.414) out of 10 for Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.979 for Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 4.435 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tiny Tots Nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.635

  • 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.
