About this day nursery

Twinkle Tots Of Endon, established in 2010, is a childcare setting providing full-day care for children aged 0-4 years. 30am to 6pm, the nursery received a "Good" rating from its latest Ofsted inspection on 22 September 2023.

The curriculum is thoughtfully sequenced, building on children's existing knowledge and supporting their development across all areas. Children happily settle into the nursery, separating from parents with ease, and are encouraged to be independent.

A wide variety of resources and activities are available both indoors and in the well-resourced garden, fostering a love for learning. Children plant their own seeds and use the grown produce in cooking activities, connecting them to the natural world.

Staff are adept at supporting babies' emerging language skills and ensuring children feel safe and secure. The setting excels in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) by swiftly identifying any learning gaps through regular assessments and implementing early intervention.

There is a strong focus on promoting healthy habits, including oral hygiene and providing freshly prepared hot meals. The nursery effectively utilises a key-person system to meet the individual needs of all children, and a strong emphasis on communication and language development ensures early support for those who may need it.

Parents report that their children enjoy attending the nursery, where staff gather information about children's interests to plan engaging activities. The provider, who is also the manager, has made significant improvements since the previous inspection, demonstrating a commitment to continuous development.

Twinkle Totts of Endon, Diana and her Team have been outstanding! Our daughter Francesca loved attending this nursery from the moment she turned 1 until she was ready to start school 4 years later. We have found the staff going above and beyond for both children and parents. We were invited to Christmas Celebrations, Father's Day, Graduation etc. Our daughter development has been ongoing and encouraged by various activities; arts and crafts, music, role play, reading, Spanish lessons, yoga and so much more. Feedback has always been provided upon collection. I have never come across a nursery who has been so generous and accommodating. We were very lucky to have our daughter attending this nursery and we will continue using their holiday club as often as we can. Thank you

I have always loved Twinkle Tots, it's such a welcoming nursery with the most amazing staff. Diana (the owner) has been nothing short of a superwoman. Both of my boys absolutely love her and can't wait to go to nursery. My eldest who now goes to school (but still loves going to the holiday club during the school holidays) started school with really advanced learning of all subjects. That I believe is down to the incredible effort Diana puts into her Nursery. She always goes the extra mile, and genuinely cares about each of the children she looks after. She will always have a special place in my heart for the help and support she has given me over the years. As a new mum it can be daunting finding a nursery you feel comfortable looking after your children, but Twinkle Tots has always made me feel at ease and it's become like a second home to my boys.

Updated - with my twins now being 4year old they have grown and developed beautifully at Twinkle Tots. My eldest has loved the before and after school clubs and is heart broken on having to leave now she is of the age. A fantastic nursery! My first child went to Twinkle Tots and loved it. Now my 1yo twins go for half days twice a week and love the place so much. They have progressed in their skills so quickly since lockdown by being there and socialising. The staff are amazing. I couldn't ask for a better, happier, more professional team that there is at Twinkle Tots. The areas are set out beautifully and really focus on the children and play for learning. Furthermore the food is fab and both of my little ones happily eat everything offered to them.

This nursery has been nothing but OUTSTANDING. Our children have both attended since the age of 7 months old. The staff go above and beyond with everything. We can’t thank Diana & the team enough for all they do. I recommend this nursery to all parents, a perfect 10/10.

The “proprietor” as she likes to call herself is a large red flag and the main reason you should question sending your child to this nursery. She makes several mistakes and will outright lie to your face and make out that you were the one in the wrong rather than admitting she simply made an error. The recent ofsted report is a true reflection of not only the nursery but her as a childcare provider, inadequate.
