Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

They say their children now enjoy coming to nursery and have made much more progress with their learning.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well. They receive one-to-one support with their key person who knows the children very well. Staff plan activities in line with children's interests, which helps children spend longer periods of time accessing the curriculum and making the best possible progress they are capable of.

Outdoor space

Staff deployment is effective and allows children to freely play indoors or outdoors. Covered areas outdoors means that the same curriculum is provided as it is indoors, such as literacy in the form of books and writing resources. The nursery has access to good outdoor facilities where children can build on their physical skills; however, the environment for young babies, both indoors and outdoors, does not currently support the development of these skills for those children who are learning to walk.

My son has been at Tiny Toez @ Cannock Chase for two years now and entering his final year there. Overall a fantastic nursery, he skips into the nursery and looks forward to every day he goes there, which as a parent is the most important thing. The nursery staff have been excellent from when he was 12 months old to now 3 years old in developing his life skills, vocabulary, learning ability etc. The classrooms are large with plenty of things for the children to do and the playgrounds are also very good. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tiny Toez.

We've had both our children in Tiny Toez for 2 years and they absolutely thrived there! All of the ladies (and Callum!) Have loved and cared for our children like their own, and our children have loved them back! Today we collecting them for the last time as we have relocated, our hearts broke when we had to say goodbye. I couldn't recommend Tiny Toez enough. Special shout out to Jackie who had both our babies from early on. Sophie, Jon, Moo and Ro x
