The dedicated staff team ensures every child receives tailored support to fulfil their potential. The setting takes a fully inclusive approach, promoting equality and celebrating the uniqueness of each child, with a particular focus on those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

After 3 months of my Son being turned away from several nurseries, my boy has now found a place at Tingers! I was running out of hope after my boy was turned away from several nurseries and as his Mum, it hurt my heart; Finally after nearly 3 months, he’s been offered a place here! And I can’t thank them enough, I finally had happy tears today! I haven’t been the easiest person but Tingers could see I was just a Mum wanting the best for my boy and didn’t give up on me; Thank you ☺️

Cannot praise Alice and Becky enough for all of the help they've given us while getting a place sorted at Tingers. Nothing has been too much trouble and they've taken extra time to talk us through options and understand what is most important to us. No hard sell, they have been patient and kind all the way through the process putting the needs of the child first. I'm so impressed with the provision and grateful to both of them for their kindness.

This nursery always go above and beyond to support all children specially those with additional needs with or without funding. Maybe there has been some misunderstanding as this doesn't sound like tingers. They Always go the extra mile to help and give advice even children that do not attend this nursery
