Tots is awesome. The staff are always happy to see the kids and both of mine love them to bits. My eldest is now 9 and still loves giving them big hugs when she sees them. My children have both utterly thrived at Tots and when my eldest started school, they were very impressed at how much she knew already. From baby unit up to pre school, we and our children have loved the nursery and I would recommend it to everyone!

Tots & Time Out Nursery is fantastic. Both my Daughters have attended (youngest is still there) and it has really helped their progress and in particular preparing my eldest for School. The key workers are all extremely kind, caring and nurturing towards the children and have been instrumental in my girls’ development.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery! The environment is always clean and feels very safe, which gives us peace of mind every day. The outdoor area is absolutely beautiful — spacious, well-kept, and perfect for play and exploration. There are always lots of engaging activities that keep the children learning and having fun. Most importantly, the staff is truly wonderful — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend

My son loves going to nursery, he's been going here for a year and a half and can't imagine him going anywhere else! Becky and her whole team are amazing, it's such a lovely atmosphere and so well organised. You can tell they care so much about every child and you get lots of feedback through the online app. It's obviously been a tough year but they've been brilliant with handling everything through this difficult time. My son was a bit slow speaking but he's really come on lately and I do think it's a lot to do with him going here. My other son starts in January and I'm sure will love it just as much.
