About this day nursery

Tiggers Nurseries, located in the heart of Tetbury, is an award-winning facility providing a comprehensive learning environment for children from birth to five years old. The nursery is situated on a private, one-acre countryside plot, featuring multiple classrooms and a dedicated Pre-Prep School, creating a 'village' where play is purposeful and learning is fostered.

Since September 2021, Tiggers Nurseries has adopted the Birth to Five Matters Curriculum, a child-centred approach that integrates learning with play. This curiosity-led framework encourages children's inherent desire for knowledge and creative expression through exploration and visual engagement, resulting in an immersive and lively educational experience.

The nursery aims to inspire curiosity in every child, ensuring they develop a lasting love for learning and a strong sense of community under the guidance of exceptional educators.

We have been so impressed with Tiggers since our son joined his first room and throughout his transitions to where he is now. The care and consideration the key workers show is top tier and the activities and facilities are fantastic. He is so excited getting to care and interact with the animals. He comes home every day having had the best time with his friends.

Tiggers and all their staff there have made the transition for my daughter from being with me 100% during a year of maternity leave to attending nursery effortless in January. I had a feeling when we first attended to look around that it would be the right fit when the nursery manager knew every child that came up to her during the visits name, the familiarity won me over and the same is said now that my daughter attends- even staff members who aren't in her room know her name and she knows them. My daughter is excited for her days in Tiggers, her development has come on leaps and bounds and they have been so observant and accommodating around her additional needs due to partial hearing loss. They work closely with us on this and they have helped guide us on how we can continue support at home that is consistent with how they are supporting in nursery. The setting itself has so much for the children and is clean and for us parents they run it so well and keep us informed. Tiggers are amazing!

Fantastic nursery and I highly recommend it. The staff are wonderful so good with the children and genuinely care about their development. My little one had a cast on her arm and they were amazing adapting activities for her and protecting the cast from water and sand. It might seem trivial but I also really appreciate that they actually use coveralls so the kids clothes don’t get ruined. My little one also loves all the animals they have at Tigger’s

We absolutely love Tigger’s Nursery. Molly and Beth in Cherry Blossoms are truly a gift. My son, Blake, is so incredibly happy there — everyone knows him, and the way he’s greeted each day makes him feel like a little celebrity. The rooms are beautiful, bright, and so well equipped, and every member of staff we’ve met has been friendly, caring, and genuinely helpful. You can really feel how much they enjoy what they do. We honestly couldn’t fault a thing. We’re so happy we found Tigger’s and couldn’t recommend it more highly! - Molly, Ben & Blakey x x

This nursery has exceeded all our expectations. The staff are warm, caring, and truly invested in each child’s development. My little one is excited to go every day and has grown so much in confidence and skills. The activities are creative and engaging, and the communication with parents is excellent. The environment is clean, safe, and full of joy. We couldn’t be happier—an outstanding nursery in every way!
