Tockington Manor Nursery

Within 2 feet of the front and back doors of the childcare centre there are areas for hard standing, gardens and an area for the guinea pigs and the vegetable patch. The personnel are fantastic and caring, and treat each kid as individuals and work with us, the parents, to ensure that the little ones get the most out of their time there. The wider school grounds are fun to explore with two ponds, woods, Astroturf and adventure activities area. As a family, we treasure this nursery setting! I have one little one who has been through the early‑years hub and another who has just started. They are always decorated with current themes (like Chinese New Year) and use playtime and cookery to talk through the themes with even the youngest little ones. The early‑years hub rooms are full of crafting materials and a large assortment of toys and educational resources. The outside space is second to none. The food is varied and delicious (the catering team also cater for school functions so I can personally vouch for the quality of the food).

Our young lady has excelled at Tockington Manor Nursery, from the first day we bundled her into her uniform and through the door right up to now over a year on. Creative playtime and confidence feature enthusiastically, with regular feedback given, and online postings of activities and games. The team have all been lovely, and the updates and handovers just right. She transitioned from her previous nursery setting without a problem. Hopefully, the nursery setting will be able to open from 1-year onwards in the future, we would gladly have started with them then. We know how much our little one adores being outdoors, and she is constantly telling us, come rain or shine, of the exciting things she has discovered on one of her nature walks. The true test is the advocacy, and my wife and I, do this to all the new parents we know who live in the area. Our second girl is due to start this year, and we know she will be in good hands each day she is there.

There are many family events throughout the year such as Bonfire Night, Christmas Fayre, Easter Egg Hunt and Family Fun Day. They have access to the school swimming pool and swimming is part of the weekly activities in the final pre-school year. The childcare centre youngsters recently performed their Christmas activities and they all sang and acted beautifully. The outdoor space is fantastic and the kids spend lots of time outside and have dedicated nature days. I have been impressed with the absorbing through games and the more structured absorbing including absorbing languages, doing creative artwork and discovering letters and numbers. My young lady really enjoys going to Tockington Manor Nursery. Thoroughly recommended. They eat food in the school dining room and the menu is healthy, varied and delicious.

Three particular ladies are some of my daughters favourite human beings in the whole wide world (her words not mine!) and it is clear to see why. The manager of the early‑years hub is always on hand if you have any questions, and you always receive prompt responses to any questions. The grounds speak for themselves, surrounded by woodlands and use of the school’s grounds and fields etc. We moved our girl to Tockington as soon as she was at the minimum age, and she has flourished ever since. All the crew I have come across are kind, approachable and know the youngsters truly well. The real shining stars of this early‑years hub, however, are the personnel. I will be dismayed when my girl leaves the childcare centre, as will she! There is clearly a strong focus on manners and vocabulary, which has really aided my daughter’s social advancement. The food is varied and fresh and always a highlight of my daughters day.

Tockington is a lovely childcare centre with caring and warm practitioners. We feel as though the childcare centre is really part of our team when it comes to raising our little one. The team have been great in making her feel at home and helping her grow and develop. The fact she gets excited to enrol at every day shows us just how delighted she is to be here. My little one has been at the early‑years hub for a term now, and she is exceptionally settled and delighted.

The early‑years hub has a fantastic, immaculate, organised setting for the youngsters. The outdoor space is especially good. The personnel are all kind and dedicated, clearly caring for the wellbeing of the little ones. Activities are fun, seasonal and designed to promote the child’s advancement. They do many activities with the little ones and put much thought into the schedule.

My boy treasures attending and has developed some lovely relationships with several personnel members and has made great friends. I would strongly suggest Tockington Manor Nursery. It’s lovely to hear about all the activities that he gets up to each day and see this on the app.

The youngsters have a brilliant variety of activities each day and have a beautiful landscape to explore. The preschool group also have swimming lessons and French. The team are all so welcoming and kind, my boy is always greeted with a smile. My little one started at the nursery setting back in September 2022 and has grown in confidence so much over the academic year. This is a great setting for little ones starting school and getting familiar with school life.

I couldn’t think of a safer and better place for my youngster to be at during the weekdays! We can’t thank the personnel enough for their support and efforts! Both my boy and presently my little one, are excited and pleased to join this nursery setting! Even during the pandemic, the childcare centre has kept a high level of professionalism and gave us the confidence that they are doing the best they can to keep our youngsters educated and protected! Both of my kids have developed many educational competences while at this nursery setting, and I am confident they are perfectly equipped to start school after finishing nursery setting!

Tockington Manor Nursery is a fantastic environment for any youngster to thrive, they care and engage brilliantly with each child’s growth and we are delighted with their assistance and dedication to their work. Couldn’t suggest them more enthusiastically, the team are brilliant.
