We are Opening The Doors to Our Amazing Nursery Join Us for Our Open Week In May

Testimonials

Take a look at what the parents of the children in our care have to say about our nursery in Alfreton. We hope you’ll find these nursery reviews useful.

My children have been attending Tiddlers Nursery since September 2016 and so far the care they have received is top-notch. Tiddlers has been like a home from home and an extended family for my two children. I have always been happy to leave them and they have been happy to be left. Most of the staff have been there a long time and all the staff have excellent relationships with myself and my children. Tiddlers has recently been taken over by new management and I hope they maintain their excellent standards, so far so good

R C (Mother of Child)

From my visit whilst pregnant, I knew Tiddlers was for our family. A genuine feeling that all the staff wanted to be there and cared for the children like their own. I also like the social media page which also showed staff were considering learning, activities, interested even out of nursery hours. I love that the chef cooks fresh and truly caters to my daughters allergies and staff don’t make her out to be different. She has come along way since starting in the baby room, thanks to the time, care and love from all staff. As a new mum, I thought no one could look after her like I can but I feel 100% sure that she’s in a lovely extended home whilst we are at work, which she also loves. Home to Home. Thank you

N C (Mother of Child)

Both of my children attended Tiddlers and we could not thank the kind, caring and compassionate staff enough. Staff are always great to myself and my children with smiles and are willing to go the extra mile. Thank you

L R (Mother of Child)

My daughter has attended Tiddlers since she was one year old. The staff have been fantastic with her and helped her develop into a lovely polite little girl. The staff are very professional with many being there a number of years which I also found reassuring. They have been genuinely interested in my daughter and assisted with various things such as toilet training, table manners and skills as well as speech, reading and numbers. I am very happy with the care and support from Tiddlers

H P (Mother of Child)

I find Tiddlers Nursery a fantastic facility and all the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Our little girl has been at the nursery since she was two and a half years old and developed more than we could have ever imagined and that is due to the staff and management attention to detail. I live not far from a nursery which is rated outstanding but prefer our daughter to be cared for by Tiddlers. I hope Ofsted will see this on their next visit. Well done Tiddlers

I B (Mother of Child)

We chose Tiddlers because we felt that it had a genuine family feel and it is represented in everything they do. The staff have a genuine interest and understanding of the children. There is always something exciting happening, including picnics, visitors, Christmas treats and it helps to make parents and families feel included. The development of my childs learning has been amazing too. Excited for the move to online tracking.

C H (Mother of Child)

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff for the service you are providing and the care you provide for Oliver – you have made a very uncertain and difficult time manageable and as key workers we are incredibly grateful for all that you are doing. Oliver loves nursery!

J & C (Parents of Child)

I just wanted to send a quick thanks to you all for Arthur’s brief but massively beneficial time at Tiddlers. From our first visit at the Open Day and the warm welcome we received from Mark it was very obvious to us that Tiddlers was perfect for Arthur but I don’t think we ever envisaged how well he would settle in and how much he would develop in such a short time. Both these outcomes are wholly as a result of your hard work, the amazing team you have assembled and the environment you have created. Whilst our move away from Derbyshire will offer opportunities we could not afford to overlook both myself & Paula felt incredible sadness that we had to remove Arthur from Tiddlers. You have given him a foundation to build on and a time he will always remember fondly.

What Our Parents Say

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff for the service you are providing and the care you provide for Oliver - you have made a very uncertain and difficult time manageable and as key workers, we are incredibly grateful for all that you are doing. Oliver loves nursery!

J & C (Parents of Child)

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
