Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Managers are knowledgeable and experienced in referral processes and understand how to obtain additional funding for children who are eligible and need it. They use this funding thoughtfully, ensuring that every adaptation and resource directly benefits children, particularly those who are disadvantaged or have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff apply professional advice consistently, adjust provision based on children's emerging needs and ensure that all children participate fully in the curriculum.

Outdoor space

The outdoor environment is as welcoming and stimulating as that indoors. Children thrive as children of all ages play alongside each other. Older children form friendships and invent imaginative games together, while younger children delight in following staff around pretending to be elephants, using their arms as trunks.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language are supported particularly well with their social and emotional development. Staff who speak more than one language support families and colleagues so they can help children communicate their needs confidently and understand expectations.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Tiny World Nursery 🤍 They truly create such a beautiful, nurturing and safe space for the little ones. My daughter absolutely loves her time there and goes in happy every day, which means everything to me as a parent. Before choosing Tiny World, I visited several other nurseries but none of them made me feel completely at ease. From the very first visit, Jackie (the manager) really listened to us, showed genuine interest, and was so supportive and welcoming. I instantly felt reassured that my daughter would be cared for like their own. The staff are amazing — especially my daughter’s key persons. They are so caring, attentive and genuinely invested in her wellbeing. They look after her beautifully and always take the time to chat with me at pick-up, sharing updates about her day, what she’s learned, how she’s eaten and how she’s been feeling. Those little conversations mean so much and really show how much they care. You can tell they build real relationships with each child, not just supervise them. I always feel comfortable emailing at any time to check in, and they’re great at communication and keeping parents updated. The nursery itself is always clean, tidy and well organised, which was really important to me. Even during late afternoon visits, it’s still spotless — something that really stood out compared to other places we saw. The meals are also wonderful and the menu is always varied and nutritious. Since starting, I’ve already seen such a positive difference in my daughter’s learning, confidence and skills. It’s clear how much effort, love and thought goes into everything they do. If you’re looking for a nursery where your child will feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for while preparing for school, Tiny World is the place. We are incredibly impressed and so grateful we found them 💛

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. I was hesitant finding my daughter a nursery as my experiences with the popular, large and pretty franchise nurseries in the area were not great with my first child. Tiny world raised (I’m not using the term raised lightly) her exceptionally well. For 4 years (full time) she loved going every single day and considered staff as family. She has been at school for a number of months now and still mentions the staff and the fun they had. The staff never changed or left in that time indicating a good working environment, experience and continuation in care provided, they were always smiley and welcoming, knew all the children and families very well and we got to know them well too. The environment is what I’d describe as homely with a big outdoor exploration area. The children spend plenty of time outside, learning through play, and have indoor activities also keeping to curriculum. The staff are honest, reliable, professional and knowledgable. Drop offs and pick ups were always enjoyable, staff have a great sense of humour and I felt well informed about my daughter. I had 0 worries about her knowing she was safe, happy and well cared for. Management is brilliant, always available for contact, knowledgable about all enquiries, also knows children and families very well, very involved and hands on which I’ve not seen in other provisions. They all really go above and beyond their job descriptions. The care they provide is sincere and genuine and I couldn’t be more grateful to them all.

My 3 year old boy loves this nursery. He’s always so excited to get up and go there and at times doesn’t even want to come home. They always go above and beyond for both me and my son. After having a really bad experience with a previous nursery I was very apprehensive to send him somewhere new, I was recommended Tiny world by a friend and so glad they did. He settled in straight away going 4 afternoons to now going full days. I can go to work knowing he’s having a great time while being well looked after and supported with his individual needs. My little boy started there being very shy and anxious and now he’s thriving with not only education but personal development. They took the time to get to know my son and they really do know him well! They’re always there to give me advice when needed and adapt to suit my sons needs. I could not recommend this nursery enough and cannot thank everyone at Tiny world enough for all they do. From the girls in the class rooms to the management! Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!!
