About this day nursery

Tiny Toez @ Tamworth is a nursery dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 9 months to 5 years. The nursery focuses on a child-led learning philosophy, encouraging curiosity and independence through various activities and three distinct garden spaces tailored for different age groups.

They offer a warm, home-like setting for babies, a vibrant area for toddlers to develop creativity and motor skills, and a stimulating environment for preschoolers to engage in extended learning, all aimed at preparing them for school. The nursery prides itself on its "Good" Ofsted rating, reflecting its commitment to quality childcare.

Meals are home-cooked, freshly prepared by an in-house cook, and cater to diverse dietary needs. Tiny Toez @ Tamworth operates 51 weeks a year, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday, closing only for Bank Holidays and one week at Christmas.

They emphasise core values such as learning through play, healthy eating, good manners, and safe exploration. The nursery also offers funding options and Tax-Free Childcare to make quality early education accessible to more families.

Parents can stay connected with their child's journey through an online portal called Famly and the nursery's Facebook page.

What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

"parents say staff go above and beyond for their key children's needs."

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) works closely with professionals and parents to ensure any children who have delays in their development have appropriate plans in place to help them make expected progress. Managers use additional funding to positively impact on children's individual needs and development.

Outdoor space

Children thoroughly enjoy themselves as they explore the outdoors with their friends. They ride together on their bicycles along the path or sit in the natural area where they watch the birds. Staff encourage children to be physically active as they copy actions, such as splashing in puddles and talk to children about how this affects their bodies, such as making their hearts beat faster.

EAL / language support

Managers and staff place a strong emphasis on promoting children's communication and language. For example, staff provide a dedicated learning space for children, with a quiet area where they focus on developing children's vocabulary. This enables all children, including children who speak English as an additional language, to build effective communication skills.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny Toez is an amazing nursery. My daughter has developed so well since she started here: in her habits, activities, confidence, and social skills. The environment is friendly and supportive. A special thanks to Teacher Tilly in the Explorer Room: she is so talented and fantastic with children. Her positive energy and kind nature make a big difference. We are truly happy with this nursery and highly recommend it to other parents.💓

My little boy started Tiny Toez Tamworth in September just after he turned 1 and he has settled so well. The staff are all super lovely and caring. I know he’s in great hands and having lots of fun which gives me peace of mind. The Famly app is also great for getting updates on food/sleep etc. Highly recommend.

Best nursery by far! The team are fab. They are friendly, professional and lovely people! Very helpful, Jayne assisted me with a few things and really helped me. After a bad experience with a different nursery I can’t believe the difference. My child absolutely loves it and has taken a big liking into Emma which makes my mind at rest! Thank you so much! X
