Tiny turtles Stockport - what a beautiful nursery. Both my children attend this nursery now. At first my son was having huge difficulties settling in with a different nursery. I called and spoke to Andrea and despite being mid term I was able to move my son out the old nursery and into TT. He settled in so well, they all made him feel comfortable and I’ve seen a huge difference in his mood, his confidence and most importantly there’s no more tears at drop offs. The staff are very experienced, both my babies absolute adore them to bits. They are all professional, super helpful and they always work around you. They’re always there to help you with any questions/concerns you may have. The food is healthy, halal and really nice and my children love it. They have a beautiful garden with outdoor equipment for the children to play and the rooms are very spacious and the children have so many different activities to do. The staff keep me up to date with what the children have been doing that day, what they ate etc on the family app. I’m genuinely so happy that I found this nursery for my son and daughter and it reassures me that my children are both safe and happy here. Thank you for everything you do TT for both my children.
Read on Google⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tiny Turtles Daycare Ltd My 1-year-old daughter, recently started at Tiny Turtles Daycare, and it has been a wonderful beginning for her. The staff are incredibly caring, friendly, and always maintain a positive attitude. We receive regular updates every hour through the family app, which gives us great peace of mind. The team is very responsible and easy to reach by phone, email, or message whenever needed. The nursery is clean, safe, and well-organized. Its location is also ideal—very close to MRI, the University of Manchester, and Longsight Market—just opposite Manchester Stockport Road at the Plymouth Grove bus stop, with the regular 192 bus service right outside. Overall, Tiny Turtles offers a warm, secure, and supportive environment for children. For families living in the Longsight area, this is one of the best nurseries in terms of care, accessibility, and overall experience.
Read on GoogleMy baby started at Tiny Turtles at 9 months of age, in April 2025. The staff have taken the time to get to know her and really understand her needs. They are kind, approachable and very welcoming. The staff are very knowledgeable in child development. The nursery have been really flexible with my work requirements and nothing is too much trouble. Debs, Jodie and Kadie in the baby room have given my baby a second home and I trust them with my precious little one.
