Our daughter had a wonderful time at Tiny Tots, she started in the Toddlers room. Before that, she was in a different nursery and we clearly saw the difference in a positive way!! There is no staff turnover, it feels like a family where everyone knows everyone. Children are taking part in multiple activities indoors and outdoors and they have many days out: zoo, museum, supermarket, theatre, etc We cannot thank enough Tiny Tots for contributing to the development and happiness of our child.

My son started at Tiny Tots shortly before his first birthday. The team was extremely supportive, allowing us to transition him into nursery gently, which I hugely appreciated. He is now a few weeks away from heading off to school. We feel incredibly lucky to have decided to put our son into Tiny Tots almost four years ago. It is an incredible environment for little people - full of fun, creativity, love and kindness. He has been so happy throughout, and had such a great time with all the activities put together by the amazing, energetic team, many of whom have watched him grow all the way through nursery. The children have been so lucky with their opportunities to go on trips to London museums, to star in plays, make incredible craft creations, play sports, etc, and the focus on having fun while learning is so clear. The team has also built such excitement towards moving on to school and the graduation ceremony recently was just too sweet, complete with robes and mortar boards! I am deeply emotional about our son leaving Tiny Tots. I couldn’t recommend it more to any parents looking for a cosy nursery focused on kindness and fun.

Both of our boys attended Tiny Tots - the first leaving right up until Reception. And as very cautious first time parents, we couldn't be more pleased with the help and support we received from Tiny Tots. Our first had a rocky start being a clingy COVID baby with severe eating issues, and the help and support he got by the wonderful different members of staff, allowed him to leave a bright, confident and articulate little boy that slotted right into his first year of school! He even developed a wider palette trying new foods that he never would have had he just been at home! My youngest is just about to leave, and again the staff have been wonderful with him getting him out of his shell, growing his independence and and preparing him for his transition to school. My husband and I have found Tiny Tots to be a home away from home, where our concerns were really listened to and promptly resolved always. They have always been flexible to deal with our boys quirky days, and we couldn't have chosen a better nursery. We also love all the wonderful updates on the app, the trips our boys have been on (notifying us throughout the day on WhatsApp group chat) etc. and generally are very pleased. Thank you for all your help and support Tiny Tots!

This nursery has such a warm, homely feel — my daughter who has been there right since baby room to pre-school room has absolutely loved it here. The girls are amazing with her and really take great care of her. There are always loads of fun activities, little trips, and so many chances for her to learn and grow. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place. We will miss it!

A very overdue review but one I must mention. We left London 3 years ago and my two daughters Elizabeth and Aveline still talk so fondly of their time at Tiny Tots. From Aveline joining nursery at the age of 1 and both attending the breakfast and afterschool clubs I could not thank the staff enough on how great an experience it was for them. A special thanks to Hannah, Sidrah, Seema and Terry who made their time unforgettable and left me at ease knowing how well they were cared for. Thanks x
