An amazing and outstanding nursery. At first I was worried about sending my son to nursery- especially when you hear what is on the news. Tiddly Tots truly put my mind at ease. The teachers and practitioners are fantastic and so welcoming. The building is safe with the process and procedures parents have to follow, it’s warm and has a great outdoor space for the children. They publish a daily diary of what my son gets up too and when I call there is always someone there that answers. Registration was formal but not difficult. I could not recommend this nursery enough. Credit is due to the staff who keep my son safe and happy but also assure me as a first time mum too. Thank you

We send our daughter Amanah to the Tiddley Tots, it's a great place for the toddlers to learn, develop and interact with other children. Staff are great, they provide exceptional level, security and care for the children. We have seen our little Amanah develop quite significantly in recent months. Thank you TH Tiddley Tots staff, your efforts are hugely appreciated!

We loved our time at this nursery; all the staff is lovely and takes great care of the children and Anisha is a great manager. Our daughter started nursery there at 9 months old, and we could not have been happier with how well she settled and enjoyed her time there. Our baby girl grew a lot while there and the staff was great in helping her learn. Unfortunately, we had to change nursery as moved too far away, but we will always cherish the time spent at Tiddley Tots Tower Hamlets! A very special thank you to Suraya and Aleha, Ivy will miss you very much!

When it's weekend my daughter keeps saying to me mummy let's go to nursery , I want to see teacher. That makes me very happy as it shows she loves the nursery. So far ,so good as we are new in the area. Keep up with the great job Tiddley Tots Nursery. Thanks

When my child first attended here I did not notice any unusual care or careless for my child. As I checked the app and asked questions to the staff, the answers were totally different. Few times as I went to pick my child up through the window I could hear shouting to a child with aggression. All I can think of was it better not be my child, The manager Latoya and Gillian are very unprofessional for the business they even argued with myself by shouting acting like animals on the street. They always used to put on the wrong clothing on my child almost every week even gave another child my daughters jacket to another child. My child is utmost happy in the current school with friendly staff workers and new friends where is actually going on trips rather than being baby sit. AVOID this unprofessional school at all cost oh yeah they chase you up for money on the same day wouldn't even wait for government funding to proceed.
