Inclusion & environment
The arrangements for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are good. The provider has developed links with other professionals and has implemented systems for sharing information. Staff liaise with parents to put steps in place to support children's development.
Children enjoy playing outdoors, giggling with delight as they splash in puddles and gaining confidence in their physical skills as they run and jump. Pre-school children enjoy weekly walks to the local park, where staff help them to learn about wildlife.
Our experience with Tomberries has been absolutely wonderful. From the very first visit, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely child-centered. The staff are exceptional - caring, patient, and always full of energy. They take the time to really know each child, which helps create a strong sense of belonging and security and have found that the nursery has made continuous improvement throughout the time both our children have been at this lovely setting.
Read on GoogleWe couldn’t be happier with Tomberries! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt completely confident that our children were in the best possible hands. The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They create such a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported. The activities are creative, educational, and well tailored to help children grow in confidence and independence. Communication with parents is excellent — we’re always kept informed about our children’s day and development, which gives us real peace of mind. It’s clear how much thought and care goes into everything they do, and our children absolutely love going each day. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, happy, and inspiring place for their child.
Read on GoogleWe’ve had a wonderful experience with this nursery. Both my kids started here when they were 1 and 2.5 years old. The staff have always been so caring and really taken the time to know them well. We always felt connected through daily updates, photos, and regular progress reports. There’s always a great variety of activities, from yoga , music, and zoo lab sessions, trips to the parks, library, farm, even museums, plus lots of creative play to keep the children engaged and happy. They also put on special events for parents and kids, which made things feel extra special and gave the kids something fun to look forward to. The nursery did a great job getting the kids ready for school, building confidence with routines and encouragement, introducing early counting, writing, and phonics, and sparking their curiosity. They also gave them lovely hands-on experiences, like seeing caterpillars turn into butterflies and hatching ducklings. We’ve been really pleased with how much our kids have grown here. Both of mine made wonderful friends here and absolutely enjoyed their time. We only left because they’ve started school.
Read on GoogleMy two children have been attending Tomberries since they were 1 years old. My son is now 21 months old and my daughter is nearly 4, currently in the pre-school at Tomberries. I could not be more happy with the care, attention, learning possibilities or growth I have seen with my children since their time has started at Tomberries. They are both very happy going in everyday, are always so well looked after, are able to eat delicious and varied food everyday made by the Chef onsite, and their teachers really have their best interests at heart - both in a caring manner and also creating fun and interesting activities for them everyday. My wife and I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking, it really is a great place.
Read on GoogleTomberries is such a fantastic nursery! I have two children at Tomberries, one in the baby room (20 months old) and the other is in preschool (3.5). Both started when they were 12 months old. I honestly couldn't be happier with the care, attention, food, education and overall development the nursery have given to my children. My kids are always so excited to go into nursery, in fact often asking to go to nursery on the weekends, and they come home singing songs, sharing stories and excited about their events of the day, including my pre-schooler being excited to practice writing her letters, putting sounds together and even writing her name! I highly recommend, and have recommended to many families, to join Tomberries, it really is such a great nursery!
