I have just finished a placement at this nursery as I am a student nurse and as part of my course was required to obtain more experience working with children. I must say the staff at this nursery are just remarkable, they are so incredibly friendly, down to earth and professional. They are always engaged with the children, creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can have fun, learn and build friendships. Forest school is a hit with the children and is a fab way to get them outdoors for fresh air and exploration. The nursery itself was always clean/well organised and children are encouraged to tidy up, wash own hands, put own packed lunch away etc promoting independence and preparing them for big school. Tinytots is both welcoming and secure offering children a comfortable and safe space to learn and grow. Thank you for having me.
