About this day nursery

Tiny Toes Childcare in Redruth (TR16 4HG) is a childcare setting for children aged 1 to 3, registered with Ofsted in May 2025. The day nursery prides itself on providing a calm, welcoming, and highly responsive environment where children feel safe, known, and valued.

Leaders and staff foster strong, trusting relationships with children and families, ensuring individual needs are consistently recognised and met. The setting focuses on a highly ambitious curriculum for babies and toddlers, prioritising personal, social, and emotional development, communication and language, independence, and physical development.

Children benefit from a curriculum that is implemented with confidence by staff, using songs, books, signing, role play, and meaningful conversations to build vocabulary and communication skills. Mathematical language is naturally woven into play and routines.

Children are supported to develop strong core strength, coordination, and fine-motor control through a wide range of practical experiences, including climbing, balancing, riding bikes, and sensory exploration. The setting effectively uses assessment, two-year checks, and parent meetings to monitor progress and identify emerging needs early.

Children with additional needs receive thoughtful adaptations, and leaders liaise closely with external professionals to secure the best possible outcomes for all. Strong parent partnerships ensure consistency between home and nursery, supporting children's overall wellbeing and development.
