What it's like
Staff provide a kind and considerate welcome to children, helping them settle quickly and form secure attachments, making them feel safe and emotionally supported. However, the curriculum lacks ambition and consistency, leading to some children disengaging or wandering without direction, which limits their progress. Despite this, leaders have identified these inconsistencies and have begun implementing strategies to improve quality.

We are very happy with Twinkle Toes. When we first sent our daughter there, we didn't know what to expect, but now we can safely say that our expectations have definitely been exceeded. The key workers are very caring and consider each child’s individual needs wich is so reassuring. We are constantly updated via the app, including development updates and photos of their daily activities. I highly recommend this daycare! Our daughter comes home happy after every day there ☺️

My daughter loves Twinkle Toes. The staff are very attentive, providing daily verbal feedback and weekly (if not sometimes more) pictures and written feedback on your child’s progress. All the staff seem like they love what they do, and you can tell the kids love them too. They go above and beyond to creative a family-like environment that nurtures your child’s development. Extremely happy with the progress my daughter has made there with her confidence. Really happy I decided to put my daughter in this nursery.

It’s been an amazing experience trusting my precious daughter to Twinkle toes. As a first time mom my concerns about finding a good nursery was very high and twinkle toes has exceeded my expectations. The staff are amazing and the children very well looked after. I am very happy with my choice.

Such an amazing nursery! My son has been attending here for well over a year now and he absolutely loves it. His learning and development has come on leaps and bounds and that’s a lot to do with the time and patience that the staff put in with the kids. With his personal online journal I’m able to log in and follow things like his daily activities, what he eats and when he sleeps for each day he attends which I love as a parent. They are always doing something fun and exciting so everyday his happy to go in. I’ve had no complaints at all, Couldn’t praise the staff at Twinkle Toes enough!
