Like most parents we toured a number of nurseries /day cares before deciding on Teddy Towers. As a converted house, Teddy Towers reminded me of my own nursery and was substantially less chaotic and calmer than the mega children zoos that can be found. Our daughter loves going and the care and attention she has recieved has helped her to excel in all aspects of early development. The staff are all wonderful in our experience with our daughter being particularly fond of Phoebe and Laura who have supported her so well over the last year. They are both a credit to Teddy Towers.

Brilliant nursery. The development, care and attention my daughter gets is fantastic. As soon as she walks through the door in the morning I’m forgotten about; she is then straight off to see her friends. At the end of the day she always leaves happy, waving goodbye to the staff and friends. Huge thanks to the Teddy Towers team especially Laura and Katie.

My daughter has been attending Teddy Towers for the past two years, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the team made her (and us!) feel so welcome, and it’s been incredible to watch how much she’s grown, both emotionally and developmentally, since starting there. When she first joined, she was quite shy and hesitant in new environments, but now, thanks to the patient and caring staff, she’s a confident little girl who loves learning, playing, and socialising with her friends. Her language skills have blossomed, her curiosity is constantly encouraged, and her independence has grown in ways that continue to amaze us. One of the things I appreciate most is how much she loves going. Every morning, she’s excited to get ready and see her friends… there’s never a struggle! That joy and eagerness tell me everything I need to know about how safe, happy, and valued she feels at Teddy Towers. The team truly goes above and beyond to create a warm, engaging, and supportive environment. They keep us well-informed about her progress and daily activities, and they always take the time to celebrate the little milestones that matter so much. We’re incredibly grateful for the care and dedication of everyone at Teddy Towers. It’s given our daughter such a strong foundation, and we’re so lucky to have found such a special place. Highly, highly recommended!

My little boy attended Teddy Towers for 3 years transitioning through all the rooms and stages. We feel it was a wonderful start for him and prepared him for school very well. The nursery is very homely and the small class numbers benefited our little boy. Our Key worker was a great role model and helped my little boy develop his imagination, explore his feelings and to generally have lots of fun! The nursery manager was also brilliant and has a great team to her credit. We have loved our time at Teddy Towers and would recommend as an early years setting.

My daughter has been attending Teddy Towers since September, she is really enjoying nursery and is building lots of positive relationships. I was aware of the Ofsted report but communicated with the management in regards to the changes that were due to take place. With 90% new experienced, friendly and caring staff, i have already seen the positive changes within the setting. The staff are very approachable and i am made to feel at ease knowing that my daughters needs are being met. Keep up the fantastic work :)
