We absolutely love this nursery! The staff are so warm, caring and genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to get to know each child and make sure they feel comfortable and included. My little one has grown so much in confidence, independence, and social skills since starting here. The activities are creative, educational and fun from messy play to outdoor adventures. The communication with parents is also great we always feel involved and informed. It’s such a happy and welcoming place I couldn’t recommend it more!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I would highly recommend Tiny Turtles Urmston. When starting at nursery it was a huge transition for my little girl and I as prior to this we hadn’t been apart for long periods of time. The staff made the transition easier and comforted my baby and reassured me, giving me 100% confidence in the setting. ALL of the staff give love and care for the children above and beyond meeting their needs and are there for support and advice whenever we need it. You can really tell the team are happy working there which obviously sets a loving and thriving environment for the children. I would also like to shout out our girls key worker Kaydy, the love my daughter has for Kaydy is more like she is family and I can see the feeling is mutual! It makes me super happy to see their bond and know she has someone so kind and caring looking after her. ❤️🐢 All in all it’s a 5 star nursery and I would and do recommend to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Tiny Turtles. All of the staff are amazing and feel like an extended family. My son absolutely loves them all, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s cared for by such kind, dedicated people every day. The daily updates are brilliant, and it’s clear how much thought they put into constantly improving, from updating toys and outside equipment to planning fun, educational outings. Really recommend 😊

Absolutely amazing nursery! Management and staff are lovely, very welcoming and caring, my son loves going to nursery and always comes out with a smile on his face, I know when I leave him in the mornings he is safe, secure and cared for to such a high standard! He has progressed so much since being there and there are always fun activities and days for parents to get involved! Would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone!

Honestly this nursery is incredible , I was extremely worried about my daughter starting nursery in general , but she is literally shining after just over a month of going to Tiny Turtles , the staff are incredible and have been so good at working with her and me 😂. Specifically Keira and Samantha ! ❤️ the daily updates on your child is incredible , you literally know everything - what time they eat and how much they eat, when they have a nap . Pictures of everything they are doing and so much more ! I’m so so happy I chose for her to go here would highly recommend
