The nursery has been open since January 2024. The 2 managers who were working as childminders decided to expand and provide the flexible childcare to a wider group of parents. The nursery started with a small team which has now expanded to a staff team of 30 people who work various shifts.

The nursery includes all meals and snacks, nappies and wipes within the fees. The meals are prepared onsite and the children have a hot meal for lunch and tea.

The nursery has 3 rooms which are
- Ladybirds: 6 months - 2 years
- Butterflies: 2 years - 3 years
- Bumblebee: 3 years - 5 years

The nursery is closed 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 staff training days and all bank holidays. The rest of the time the nursery remains open.

Outside, the nursery has a large secure garden which all the children use throughout the day.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was really reluctant for my daughter to start nursery, but now that she has, I couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, making the transition much easier than I expected.


One of the best things about this nursery is the flexibility - you can pay per hour and choose

between term-time or year-round care, which most nurseries don't offer. Adding extra days or hours is really easy too, making it perfect for parents who need a bit of flexibility.


They celebrate every occasion with lots of dress-up days and fun activities, keeping things exciting for the children. The only thing they don't have is an online platform for parents to check in on their child's day, but in a way, that's a positive - instead of constantly taking pictures on iPads, the staff are fully engaged with the children.


Overall, we love it and would highly recommend it!

We sent our little one here at 6months old, as first time parents and him starting young we were quite anxious, the staff were and still are to this day incredible. They reassured us with regular updates and photos which is a really nice touch. They are very accommodating and understanding, I have complete
trust and confidence in the staff team. Our little one absolutely loves going to nursery and we can see how caring and loving the staff are which is exactly what you want in a nursery. Highly recommend the managers and their team.

Tons of Fun Childcare have had both my babies since they were 7 months old. My eldest is now 3. I was nervous handing my kids over to return to work, but the girls put me at ease and made the transition so much easier. Both my children do very well at the nursery. Their behaviour, speech and development
is definitely more advanced due to their time at Tons of Fun. They are offered nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day and I always receive detailed feedback about what the kids have been doing. I can't rave about the staff enough, they are all amazing and my children love going there. Dreading the day we have to go to big school & say goodbye!

My daughter absolutely loves it here, and has learnt so much. All the staff really seem to love what they do and it shows. It's very reasonably priced and they accept the funded hours and tax free payments.


They serve a great selection of meals, are always doing crafts and singing songs, and spend

lots of time outside whatever the weather. Really happy to have found Tons of Fun.

Wouldn't send our daughter anywhere else!


Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since she joined in September 2024! All staff are attentive, experienced and welcoming. Also reassuring and attentive to each individual child's needs and requirements.


Cost is valid, not overly expensive, with

everything included in the cost.


Thanks to all at Tons of Fun!

My son has been attending Tons of Fun for 7 months and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the children's well-being and development.
The learning environment is engaging, and my son has thrived both socially and academically
since starting. The activities are well thought out, encouraging creativity, independence, and teamwork. I've also been really impressed with how well the staff communicate with parents - I always feel informed about my son's progress and daily experiences.
Most importantly, my son is always excited to go in the morning, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy he feels there. I would highly recommend Tons of Fun to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

My child has been attending Tons of Fun nursery from 11 months old, and absolutely loves it. The staff are so caring and fun, and it is clear by the way her face lights up when she sees them that they take the time to bond with the children. They offer good flexibility with work schedules and very competitive
on price. There are also lots of themed days and fun activities that are a lovely extra touch.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.422)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.422) out of 10 for Tons of Fun Childcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 14 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 4.903 for Tons of Fun Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.903

  • 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 4.519 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tons of Fun Childcare is based on 14 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 135 number of registered child places is 27. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 27 = 0.519

  • 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.
