A parent’s view

Dear Nicola - Firstly, thank you. You and your team have left such a lasting impression on us as a family, I am not sure where to begin..

As a first time Mum with no friends with experience of choosing a nursery, trying to find somewhere I would be happy to leave my first born seemed like an impossible task.  I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and the only advice I was given was ‘go with your gut’ What on earth did that mean? I thought. Off I went to do the rounds of all the local nurseries and as soon as I walked in through the doors of Tiggy’s, boom, there it was!  The vibe your setting gives off is immeasurable. I can’t put my finger on what it is, exactly.

One of the main draws for me was the age of your staff, I wanted someone that has been there, done that, cleaned up the vomit and changed the T shirt. I want someone that will cuddle my child to stop the tears and someone who has very successfully raised small humans into big ones.

You have all helped shape me into the mother I am today. I will never forget the day you approached me about potty training. We had tried lots of times but you quite abruptly told me to do it now as he was getting too old. I’ll be honest, I was quite taken a back so I went home and thought to myself ‘Right, I’ll send him in pants and he can wee and poo all over them and see how they like it’ The following day he went in his pants with about 5 changes of clothes and the little monkey didn’t have a single accident! A week after he was totally dry, day and night. I don’t think I wanted you to be right, but you were!

The experiences both my boys have had, because of you and your team, have been incredible. You should be so proud of the reputation Tiggy’s has, far more  than an outstanding Ofsted report.

Thank you for supporting us through illnesses and celebrations and we are so glad we moved house so our boys could be Tiggy’s children (yes, we really did!)

Thank you for everything.

Parent feedback, April 2026:

“The way they are so loving towards my little boy is just beautiful. It has been such a blessing being able to give him such a good foundation to his educational journey. But the social skills he has developed too are outstanding.”

“The staff are the biggest asset. The consistency, quality and experience is outstanding.”

“We like that Tiggy’s has a high staff retention and staff are knowledgable, approachable but most of all, very kind to the children.”
 

“All the staff clearly take the time to get to know the children and understand them. They all really care about the children which means I feel safe to leave my child there. The staff also all clearly care about each other which is vital because well cared for staff stay in their jobs, and in nurseries this is very rare nowadays!”

“What I like most about Tiggy’s is the genuine attention given to each child. The staff take the time to understand every child as an individual, helping them feel supported and valued. I also love the extra experiences the children enjoy, such as baking, ballet, and forest school, along with the encouragement to spend time outdoors and explore nature. The nursery also makes a real effort to include parents in special days and events, which helps create a strong sense of community. It’s a truly enriched and nurturing environment where children can grow, explore, and feel happy.”

“We really value the nursery’s excellent communication with families, which helps us feel connected to our children’s experiences and development. The high expectations you set for behaviour and for what the children are capable of achieving encourages them to grow into thoughtful, curious and well-mannered individuals. We also greatly appreciate the nurturing environment you create, where children are supported to become confident, independent learners and fantastic little citizens of the world.”
