  • 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.

We're so pleased we made the decision to put our daughter into Tiny Tots, we were really nervous about the impact of being so isolated with Covid, with how she'd react. Everyone has been absolutely amazing, really supportive to both my daughter and I, she's so happy there now and has lots of fun. They
play outside daily and do lots of singing and dancing, as well as have external companies in to run sessions. I get regular updates on the parents' app and I can see what she's eaten, nappy changes, naps etc, it's great. They also provide all food, nappies etc. I can literally turn up with my daughter and the rest is taken care of. I can't recommend them enough! Getting to Tiny Tots is a 20mile round trip for us and it's completely worth it.

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

Thank you for your review and recommendation. We love the outdoors at Tiny Tots and exploring the local community and amphitheatre. We love having your daughter here and seeing her confidence grow.

What a fantastic nursery! My daughter joined Tiny Tots back in October and she absolutely loves it. The staff are lovely, the facilities are fantastic, the access to Rugrats soft play is perfect for my little girl, who is so full of energy. The children do lots of wonderful activities, there is a busy
social calendar for them and my kitchen door is now covered in lots of beautiful artwork, my little girl has brought home. My daughter has grown in confidence since being with Tiny Tots and comes home happy and excited about going back the next day. Most importantly, I’m comfortable that I’m leaving my little girl in a lovely setting, she’ll be fed well, looked after and have lots of fun with her friends.

We are extremely happy with Tiny Tots. Both of our children adore the staff and the staff are incredibly caring and helpful. The soft play is an excellent addition for the children to play in and we have seen the confidence in our children grow so much since they have been there. The staff have a real
interest in our children and it is nice to see them take so much interest in them. We would recommend Tiny Tots to anyone looking for a lovely, new nursery.

Extremely pleased with Tiny Tots. My daughter has settled in fantastically and absolutely loves going. I am given updates throughout the day with what she has been doing, and also what meals she has eaten via the parent's app, which is a huge bonus compared to her previous nursery. I am really, really
happy with Tiny Tots and also the lovely staff.

My Niece and Nephew are currently at Tiny Tots Nursery and they love it! The staff are wonderful and really care about the children. The Manager is very knowledgeable and also interacts wonderfully with the children. They support the food requirements of my nephew entirely, who is dairy-free and the
food is always home-cooked. The equipment and toys they have there are brilliant too, including the soft play attached which they use daily! (and is also very clean!) The App they use for us is a great communication tool. The children are more than happy to go each morning and always come out having had a wonderful day.

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

Thank you so much for your review. I am delighted to hear that your niece and nephew are so happy at our nursery. We take pride in ensuring our food is to the highest standard and cater to all dietary requirements. The app we use is a great communication tool and we love it when parents also add photos from home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I have been so pleased with this lovely nursery. My granddaughter was a lockdown baby and missed all of the toddler groups and mixing with so many of our family in the last 18 months. My daughter had to return to work and before this nursery opened and we all helped with childcare which, to be fair,
was a little more unsettling for her. By the time the nursery opened, she had started getting separation anxiety (not helped by contracting covid and having to isolate just before joining nursery) but with the care, understanding and patience of the nursery, we have got through it and we now have a confident little girl who loves nursery. I suspect, by the time the pandemic ends and their reputation spreads, this will be a nursery with a very long waiting list! I know that some of the staff previously worked in schools and are highly qualified in special educational needs so their skills are very high, which is reassuring. I like how they just don’t go to be looked after but develop too.

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

Thank you for your amazing review of our nursery. We have such a wonderful team here who are all highly qualified and experienced and I am so proud that they can put this into practice every day with the children, not only in their development but also to support families in settling their children.

My grandchildren have thrived since attending the fabulous new nursery at Rugrats and Halfpints. The staff are caring and knowledgeable and the manager is a childcare expert. The children are always the first priority to the team and their happiness is my first priority. My grandchildren dance in and
dance out of the nursery with a beaming smile - that is recommendation enough for me!

What a fantastic nursery - you will not be disappointed! Having moved my son from another nursery in the area, I did my research! I'm delighted with the nursery, my son absolutely loves it and he is so happy already. The staff are outstanding - so attentive and caring. Nothing is too much trouble and
the activities organised are so much fun! Communication via the app is great and you really get a good insight into their day and also verbally, when you go to collect (separate foyer for collections - the space has been designed really well). Facilities are awesome - a massive variety of toys, lovely wooden ones too and all brand new. The rooms have been decorated really imaginatively and there's a lovely garden area with a pirate ship and sandpits etc. The nursery is attached to the soft play and children get use of this on a daily basis - how great is that! Food is always homemade, good variety and my son eats a lot more than he used to! Really supportive staff and an amazing manager who wants to see your child thrive!

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

Thank you so much Andrea for this amazing, fabulous, wonderful review. I cannot thank you enough for this review and your feedback on the team and the facilities. As the owner of the nursery, I am so proud of what Bonnie and her team have achieved and can't wait to see how they will continue to push boundaries with the care they provide. I have adored the fact the staff are on the floors down with the children, having fun. I have loved watching the children build really strong bonds and connections with the team. Thank you also for the lovely feedback on the design of the nursery and the quirky features I put into the nursery. I had an amazing time trying to design it so that it stimulates the children and makes them happy. I am blown away by these comments - a million thanks are not enough. Caroline (Nursery Owner)

My son being a lockdown baby, I knew it was time and he needed to start nursery. (Something I was never planning on doing.) The amount of support given by the manager and staff to both my child and my panicking self is beyond amazing. The first day they were messaging me as I asked to check-in, even
though they have plenty to keep them busy. My son wasn't coping well with being in nursery all day so the manager advised cutting down to two half days, which we did straight away. He is now thriving, doesn't cry when we drop him off anymore and is just generally a happy little soul who's becoming so much more confident around people he doesn't know. (To the point he followed a couple in the park and started a race with them.) The manager mentioned doing this for a short period to settle in but I am happy to maintain half days due to how my boy has changed in such a short period of time. My son is particularly fond of one member of staff, which is great to see. Thank you so much Tiny Tots team.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

After having our daughter with us for the first 18 months, we were quite apprehensive about the type of nursery we wanted her to be in. We opted for a tour with the manager and another member of staff, just before the nursery opened and they were simply amazing. The environment that they were aiming
to create and the plans of how they wanted to run the day for the children fitted in perfectly with what we were looking for. Thankfully, our daughter has settled in so well since she started. She loves being with all the team and I can happily leave her at the door with no tears. She runs to me in the evening with the biggest smile on her face and you just know she's been having the best time. She's a really active child, so having the ability for her to go into the soft play area on a regular basis is something she really enjoys. Her communication has come on even more since she started and we are so happy that we have chosen her to be there. Thank you everyone for taking such great care of our daughter.

My first experience of a nursery, and I was very pernickety when it came to choosing somewhere to leave my little one! I viewed a lot of places in and around Cirencester and always found myself leaving feeling let down by at least one area. I came across TinyTots when out for a day with my daughter
and I’m really glad that I did! I was immediately impressed with the fit-out quality; all done to an immaculate standard. The equipment for the children was all brand new too! There was a huge range from games, dressing up, to musical instruments and loads more which really impressed me. Then there’s the incredible soft play attached; which the kids visit daily! The staff are a massive asset; after all, without them, all the amazing equipment and facilities don’t ever come to life! They’re all so warm and welcoming and absolutely out of this world with the children - so much so, my daughter won’t say ‘Da-Da’, but says all their names on repeat!

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.
