This is a fantastic nursery. My son moved from a nursery in London to go to Tots N Tykes and the staff were really well organised and friendly when helping him settle in (at a slightly difficult age, as well). The team are a lovely bunch of people who will bend over backwards to help myself or my son. The nursery is extremely well run; communication is excellent; the kids always seem happy and lively but there's also an air of calm about the place (as much as there can be with babies and toddlers about...). This particular nursery also has a great policy of allowing the toddlers outside whenever they want, which is a massive bonus for my son who always wants to be outdoors. At his last nursery he was lucky if he went outside a couple of times a week. In a nutshell, I would highly recommend Tots N Tykes!

Fantastic setting with great ethos, they have been absolute superstars in identifying our child's additional needs and getting the support in place early, and have also shown great willingness to adapt and learn new techniques to help our child achieve their full potential.
