Our ethos

Tiddly Winks Nursery offers a play-based curriculum, incorporating a balance of both adult and child-led learning intentions which are derived by the relationship each child has with their allocated ‘key person'. This is used to create an individualised plan for each child, taking into account their learning needs, time for independent exploration, interests and experiences that are happening in the world around them as well as each child's characteristics of effective learning. At Tiddly Winks, they value the importance of parents/carers as children's primary care-givers, and their role as a secondary caregiver, aiming to create strong bonds with both the children and their parents throughout their journey at Tiddly Winks.
