About this day nursery

Tinytots Vision Nursery, established in 1997 by a group of mothers in East Salford, has grown significantly from its initial playgroup to two nurseries, an after-school club, and a holiday club. The nursery is committed to creating a positive future for children through a nurturing environment that encourages learning, creativity, and exploration.

They provide essential items like nappies, wipes, and fresh milk daily, along with nutritious meals and snacks that align with government guidelines for healthy eating. To ensure a smooth transition for new children, Tinytots Vision offers a minimum of three free settling-in sessions.

The nursery utilises Tapestry, a digital learning journal, to keep parents connected and updated on their child's progress, observations, and invoices. They foster strong home-nursery relationships through regular communication, including daily chats and newsletters.

Tinytots Vision celebrates children's achievements with a graduation ceremony as they prepare for school and focuses on building early language skills through fun activities like language groups and storytime. Children engage in hands-on cooking activities, exploring food and culinary processes.

The nursery provides a variety of engaging experiences year-round, from caring for a pet tortoise to special visitors like ZooLab, and celebrates seasonal events. Tinytots Vision also offers training and employment opportunities for local residents, playing a vital role in the Salford community.

My son is the most precious thing in the world to me and I was so anxious about leaving him at a nursery. Tinytots has been amazing in supporting both me and my son during his time at nursery and they continue to do so. The staff are lovely and caring, nothing is too much! They make my son feel special in a room full of children, which is a skill in its self. He's gone from a quiet child to a child with a big personality and the loudest in the room at times. His development has come on loads and it is heartwarming to see how he has made friends who he looks forward to going in to see. He comes home talking about the things he has been upto with the staff. The nursery is clean and stimulating. I can't thank Tinytots enough for the love, care and time they give to my son. Would recommend the nursery to anyone ❤️.

I have had 3 of my children attend this nursery over the last 11 years. When my 2 older ones went the staff was amazing so i didnt think twice sending my youngest. Nayah only left in July and only because she was old enough to go nursery but i dont have a bad word to say. Alot of the staff were different but they were still amazing. My daughter would cry when i left her in the morning but the staff was able to calm her down and she always came out smiling and happy at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this nusery to anyone ❤️

I’ve searched for a good nursery for my then two year old and had bad experience with other nursery with issue such as neglect. However, since someone recommended Tinytot Salford and my daughter enrolled, she’s had an amazing time. She’s a fussy child with food, so nutrition was my main focus and this nursery has ensured that my child has variety of food, commenced a food chart and involved us-the parent to find out what she likes and has gone extra mile to make sure that my baby is not left hungry when under their care. It’s being six months since she started and does three long days every week and each time we pick her in the evening, we notice we pick a happy and strong child, who looks as active as when she was dropped in the morning. Thank you Vera, Mellisa, Karly including all ur hardworking staff, you’re all amazing. Yes I do agree Vera, ur nursery is a hidden gem👏👏👏 I would’ve given five stars if not due to cost, but worths every penny.👌🏼

Little boy always came home a mess and his hands and face were never cleaned proper, poor hygiene and unclean. When confronted no one really seemed to bothered when concerns were raised.
