What The Parents Say
Just keep up the great work. The difference in my babies has been nothing short of remarkable.
Parent
The changes in the nursery are outstanding. Management is great. I no longer worry that I will come to the nursery in the morning and it will have closed down
Parent
The service has improved massively. Nursery looks and feels more welcoming. Love that breakfasts and lunches are back and are included in the price instead of being extra. The nursery feels like it is much better managed than it previously was. The staff look happier as well.
Parent
I like the open door policy and that staff are available for a chat if I had any concerns. My daughter has really come on with all the activities she is being taught each day. The ethos and atmosphere of the nursery has changed for the better and is more positive. Staff seem happier to be working there too 🙂
Parent
My two and a half year old daughter has been attending Tiny Tots since she was 9 months old. It’s daunting leaving a child but the staff at Tiny Tots have always been great and really supportive of our parenting choices. They used our cloth nappies, baby wore her at our direction and gave her expressed breast milk bottles when I couldn’t come in to breast feed her. Our son will be joining her at Tiny Tots in the Autumn. Fantastic nursery.

Our Playrooms
Our playrooms are organised into 5 main rooms, taking into account the age and stage of the children. This includes our baby room 1, our baby room 2, our toddler room, our anti-pre room and our pre-school room. This allows us to meet the individual needs of your child and maintain the adult to child ratio set by the Care Standards. All age groups have an appointed Room Senior Practitioner and a team of practitioners. Your child will have their own key worker allocated who will oversee their care and development.
Wee Monkeys | Baby Room 1
The ratio within our playroom is 1 staff member for every 3 children in attendance
Toddler Turtles | Toddler Room
The ratio within our playroom is 1 staff member for every 5 children in attendance.
Mighty Tigers | Pre-School
The ratio within our playroom is 1 staff member for every 8 children in attendance.
Your Children
We endeavour to ensure that your child is at the forefront of everything that we do! We aim to provide your child with a varied range of experiences to build on their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. Your child will have the opportunity to express their views and opinions and be involved in making decisions about their learning. An appointed key worker will work closely with your child as well as with you the parent to ensure the best possible outcomes are achieved, and their learning and progress is tracked on our online Learning Journals, giving you the freedom to keep up to date with this on a regular basis.
Safety
We take the safety of the children in our care very seriously, starting with our secure door entry system. When collecting your child, access is gained by visual recognition by a staff member through our intercom system. On occasions where you have to ask someone else to collect, we can identify them using our password policy which must be provided before entry to the nursery. All of our playrooms and outdoor areas are monitored by cctv for added peace of mind.
Happiness
Ensuring that your child is happy and secure at nursery is paramount. To help us achieve this we provide the right level of transition between home and nursery, from room to room and from nursery to school. We strive to meet your child’s individual needs in a positive and nurturing manner, respecting their wants and desires. Staff are enthusiastic and motivated and provide a happy and relaxed atmosphere for your child to flourish in.
Education
Taking into account Local and National guidelines, staff focus on the individual education needs of your child, developing and building on the skills to prepare them for the next chapter of their learning journey. All learning is child-led which allows your child to learn and develop at a pace that takes into account their personal interests and experiences. Staff ensures that learning is stimulating and fun, encouraging your child to engage fully
Your children’s education and wellfare are our main priorities
