I've sent both of my girls to Tiny world, First being in 2015, second still there now. Neither of them had been away from me before but the ladies at the nursery have always been fab, friendly and helpful. The children have fun and always seem happy. Communication between the nursery and parents has always been great, from knowing what they do on a day to day basis to having meetings throughout the year to discuss your childs progress in more detail. Would recommend!

My son came here for nearly 2 months without knows the language, after this the Lockdown happens. We was so sad because here, even if he was crying in the begging, after he finish his program it was totally the opposite. He was so happy and can't wait for the next day to come back, he learned english so quick from here and this thanks to everyone, especially to David, his favorite teacher. Now, i'm looking to bring his little brother, hope they have space. Thank you so much to all the staff who take care of him at that moment. He still remember all of you and he miss you a lot. Hope to see you soon again!
