Parents say that the team is like a family.
Inclusion & environment
Staff quickly identify children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and ensure that timely support is put in place. Children with SEND make good progress. Staff support children with SEND well, understand the importance of early identification, and have attended training from the local authority.
The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact on children's learning.
We've been very happy with Tic Toc Nursery School. Our oldest has just started school and our youngest is still there. Both have been at Tic Toc since 10/11 months and have been very happy. They settled really quickly, the staff always seem warm, caring and genuine, it's easy to communicate with the staff and we get a lot of information about how the children are doing. The outside space is lovely - more than some other local nurseries - including chickens that the children love. The menu always sounds good and well thought through. The staff do nice things for the parents/kids throughout the year like Christmas parties, mother's day breakfast which helps you get to know other parents, and get a chance to spend time with your child in the environment. Tic Toc engage in local community projects - eg my son got to take part in a project visiting elderly people in a care home. We think Tic Toc is a great choice! We walk from near The Green in Twickenham because we think it does a better job than other nurseries in that area.

My child started nursery last year and has shown very good improvement in all his learning areas, especially in his communication skills. At the beginning, he couldn’t speak much, but now he is even using short sentences. He is happy to come to nursery every day and wakes up early, excited to see his teachers. I am extremely pleased with the nursery, and I would happily recommend it to anyone considering sending their children there.

Tic-Toc is a wonderful nursery. My son is currently attending it, and after trying several other nurseries, this is the one I like the most. The staff at Tic-Toc are especially amazing. I think it might be the best nursery in the Richmond area.

Tic Toc is great. We have a 1 year old and a 3 and a half year old there and they love going every day. There are never tears at the door as they are so excited to attend. This is due to the staff (who are like family to our girls) and the safe environment they've created there for our girls to thrive.
