    I cannot rate Tigers (Henwick site) enough. Both our children have attended there from around 18 months (they are now 4 and just over 2) and they are so happy there. We feel so lucky to have such a wonderful nursery just up the road which provides the best care for our children. Tigers is in a beautiful setting and offers lots of outside play and all the staff are absolutely fantastic at their job and really care about the children. If ever one of our children goes in upset for any reason, staff will always prioritise their happiness and provide them with what they need to feel better, always with warmth and a smile. I genuinely feel it’s the best nursery we could have ever hoped to send our children to.

    We had to change nurseries at the start of lockdown as our nursery closed and left us struggling with child care. We found Tigers, phoned them up and they were more than welcoming. Our daughter strolled in and hasn’t looked back since. Tigers is a home away from home, the staff who care for my daughter possess so many skills, they are caring, friendly, and just so knowledgeable about her age range. She goes into nursery happy and comes out not wanting to go home. Their facilities are fantastic and we are so impressed with what they have to offer. Each day, they do brand new activities and she is so excited to see what she will be doing that day. If she gets upset at all, they are on hand with the compassion and apparently the best cuddles, which is so reassuring for parents. We could not fault the care from the staff at Tigers.

    Excellent staff who put us at ease straight away. Our boy has busy fun filled days, in a lovely setting, and is always very well cared for. We really appreciate the time staff take to send photos and observations about his day. Absolutely recommend!

    As a first time mum, I was anxious about sending my daughter to nursery, I hadn’t let her out of my sight for the first year of her life! Also due to lockdown, my daughter had had limited time around other children, therefore I knew going to nursery would be hugely beneficial for her (and to me.) I feel so comfortable leaving her at Tigers, she can’t wait to go and loves two carers, in particular. The settling in sessions were a fantastic way of getting us both used to nursery and she adapted very quickly. Since being in nursery, she quickly learnt to feed herself with a spoon and is now walking confidently. Her speech is coming on too. I love receiving updates throughout the day and it helps keep me involved in her day. I wish I could send her for more days than her current two but the nursery is very popular.

    Tigers Nursery look after my daughter. They go beyond to make sure she has the best time and follow her care plan for her extra needs. The team in the little cubs are super and very attentive with the babies.

    Our son has been attending Tigers for the last 3 years and I can honestly say it has been a fantastic experience for all of us, from start to finish. From the setting, to the standard of care and learning, the meals, to the parent interaction – everything is so well thought out and planned, with as much interaction with parents and families to make sure you have full confidence in your child’s care. We’re going to be so sad when the time comes for our son to start primary school!

    What an absolutely fantastic nursery. My son has been full time since 9 months old. He is such a sociable and confident boy now and I truly feel this is in part, due to the care he receives at Tigers – every day is different. He especially loves getting out in the garden, where they are most days (weather dependent) and is a firm favourite of the cooks, eating everything on offer! The staff are lovely and super knowledgeable, helping him learn and grow!

    A fantastic nursery/preschool! I would highly recommend using Tigers. My son has grown in confidence so much here. Learning through play and making friends and memories! The staff are brilliant, kind and are always willing to help out, even at short notice. My son loves it here and we will be sad to move on to school in September! Thanks to the Tigers team.

    My little girl started a year ago when she was only 8 months old, I had to return to uni full time and they just made this transition so easy for me as my daughter bonded with the staff so quickly and we both felt so comfortable with the staff and it made my journey so much easier being able to confidently leave my child happy at nursery. She is now 21 months and is absolutely thriving they are continuously providing educational activities and opportunities for my child to learn and develop and she is already fluently talking and signing and demonstrating actions to nursery rhymes. Her social skills are fantastic and she is just an all-round confident, happy child and this is all thanks to the care Tigers have given her. They offer very in-depth observations and pictures each day about what my child has been up to, and now restrictions have eased, are offering parents to play finally giving us the chance to meet each other and see what our children get up to! Their sensory room is fantastic.

    My son has been attending Tigers since March 2020 and has moved through 3 different ages rooms in his time there. He has absolutely loved his time in each room and formed lovely relationships with all of the staff members, even though he attends part-time. His development and speech have come along so well, and additionally, his picky eating doesn’t seem to be too much of an issue at the nursery! The nursery have been very accommodating for us, as a family, when we have needed to adjust his hours/days, and were just superb during lockdown – keeping in touch, sending postcards to the children and regularly updating us on the app. I would confidently recommend Tigers to any prospective parent.

    My little boy joined Tigers Day Nursery in May 2021, as a lockdown baby it was a difficult transition into nursery, however the carer’s in his room have been absolutely amazing and within a short space of time he was settled into the nursery, and that is all thanks to the wonderful staff in his room. My little boy’s speech & confidence is incredible now, he absolutely loves the nursery! The facilities at the nursery are great from the gardens, bubble room and all of the toys/activities in the room. I would highly recommend Tigers Day Nursery.

    The staff are amazing. I worry about my son’s nappies as he has had issues with constipation and they are very good at providing me with the extra details I requested. They are very knowledgeable about child health and development and have always been happy to offer extra advice and reassurance if I’ve had any concerns about my son’s development. Most importantly, my son loves it there. He loves the staff and it is obvious to see that they care for him as well. He is all smiles at drop off and when collecting him. Thank you, you have made returning to work much easier now that I know he’s being well looked after and that I can phone just to see how he is.

    Both my daughters attend Tigers and they love it there. It is a beautiful setting with great outdoor spaces set back safely from the road. The staff are so friendly and approachable and I have no worries about leaving the girls there. The admin team are also incredibly helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend this nursery.

    Our son absolutely loves Tigers. He has settled in so well after having to change nursery during lockdown. He talks to us about all the fun he gets up to with his friends, and he really loves all of the staff too.
    Now that restrictions are easing up, it has been really nice to be invited to parent’s activities, so I can see for myself the lovely facilities on site (especially all of the outdoor space).
    Overall, very happy and would absolutely recommend Tigers.

    My son has been going to Tigers day nursery since he was 9 months old. I was a little worried at first to leave him on his own but he settled in so well and loves it there. My son really warmed to his first key person and she was amazing with him. I would get regular updates on the parents’ app, that would put my mind at ease! I was a little upset when she had to move rooms and not be his key person anymore because he got on so well with her but all the staff are amazing and great with him.

    We love Tigers Day Nursery Thatcham. Our daughter started at Tigers in September 2022, changed room in January as she turned 3. I was nervous because it had just been her and me during the day since birth and every single staff member has been supportive for our daughter and her parents. Same when she changed class. Things went so smoothly. It is so reassuring and wonderful to see their commitment to having thriving kids and help the parents too. We can not recommend them enough! Everything I have come across, they have helped me with in the best way. All the requests I have made have been taken care of in a good time frame. Our daughter has so much fun and loves it there so much and so do we! Our son will be going there too, he is registered already.

    Tigers Day Nursery are the most incredible, supportive and professional nursery. Every member of staff is a credit to them. Our son is autistic and even mentioning any Sen needs when trying to find a new nursery I have immediately felt reluctance which in turn is an immediate no from us. I was repeatedly recommended Tigers due to their care and expertise and was delighted that they could offer us a space. Any correspondence from the moment of my original phone call to the day our son started was fabulous (and continues to be). All of the staff made sure he felt safe and happy and that he enjoyed every transition session. He used to have severe meltdowns going into nursery and now the only upset I have is that he doesn’t want to go home. Every member of staff supports him and celebrates all of his successes. There is always genuine care and excitement in sharing his achievements, we couldn’t ask for more. I travel 3 hours a day to get him to this nursery, I would only do this for the very best and that they are!

    Both my children attend Tigers Day Nursery, having done so since they were just over 1 year old (now 4 and 2). They both love it there and the staff are great. We get regular updates via the app and a handover at the end of the day. The children both love the staff in each room and I have every confidence when leaving my children in their hands for the day.
    They have a variety of meals with a balanced and nutritious menu, all cooked on site.
    They also partake in different activities every day, (including French and dance) and are always excited to tell me what they got up to at the end of each day.
    I 100% recommend Tigers.

    Couldn’t fault Tigers at all. My son has been at the nursery for a year and a half, and the care has been incredible. He is happy, well cared for and thriving. I have never had any issues. I feel like the staff care and are happy to chat about his development.
