Twyford Tots Nursery

"Our daughter had a lovely time until she went up to pre-school. The key workers there had a negative view of her and would try to make her apologise for not listening when she was just three years old. The worker repeatedly sent her out of class to another worker’s class, who seemed to have an equally negative view of her behaviours. It got to the point where she came home and had epic meltdowns saying everyone was angry with her. Nursery called to say they thought she was sick, but she was actually just miserable and started to say she didn’t want to go in. She also began apologising for minor things like dropping a biscuit, as though she was on tender hooks and expecting to be criticised. We don’t feel nursery looked at what they were doing in terms of stimulation and behaviour management and instead defended their actions as ‘preparing her for school’ so we decided to remove her. Six months on she asked me the other night why her worker was angry at her, showing long term emotional impact. We are devastated we kept her there so long. Her new nursery have not ONCE in six months said anything negative about her. Instead she is stimulated and held in high regard; that is what she needs to build her confidence going into her school life, not feelings of shame and worry."

"A fantastic nursery for both my children, one of which still currently attends. Nothing is too much and they always cater to parents needs regarding childcare. They always put children first and do what is in their best interests not just learning but social, physical and emotional too. Would never pick another nursery over them they are wonderful."

"The staff are really friendly and fill me with confidence every time I leave my little girl with them. Such a flexible nursery and try the best to accommodate all parents needs."

"My children started Pre school in September. They love it!! The staff are fantastic. They have progressed so much in a short space of time."
