TippyToes Stantonbury Nursery

I adore the atmosphere, it feels like home, not only the location/setting but also team, it has a family sense. I fell in adore with TT as I drove up. All team truly delight in spending time and working with my girls, she is comfortable here. I like it’s a family run business, this makes my visits very personal. It’s like being part of the family. I sense cheerful every day leaving my girls. I would definitely not want them anywhere else. I adore the different rooms, kids can move around & do different things. They can independently use the toilet.

Outside space is incredible, she truly enjoys the gardening session, discovering about plants and growing new things. New areas have been introduced; climbing frame, garden kitchen, playhouse, insect hotel.
She has enjoyed yoga sessions. Home cooked meals are excellent.

There is consistently someone to talk to if I have any concerns/queries.
We will miss all the team. You all are fantastic, she has grown up here and has become a fantastic, confident girl, that’s thanks to you all.

Set in an old farmhouse, the setting and rooms have been adapted to provide the best care, interactions and discovering opportunities for all kids. TippyToes is an outstanding family. It sits within an incredible garden which includes a woodland walk area, playframes, water playtime, bug hotels and lots of other fun and interesting things for curious little minds. The last year or so has been bumpy at best with national restrictions due to CV-19 but TippyToes has been a centre of calm, consistency and normality for my son. Their procedures have been exemplary. My son started at TippyToes at around 8 months old and has just moved up into the final pre-school room (roaring lions) before starting school next year. He is confident, attentive and kind thanks to the team there. They’ve also been a massive assistance to me, answering all my questions through the big milestones. It’s a joy to see him cheerful to go to childcare centre every day.

I actually moved out of the area over a year ago but still work nearby. We currently have my son at Tippy Toes.
I wouldn’t place my kids anywhere else. I looked at other nurseries when I moved from a location to home perspective and no other childcare centre compared, things that stood out were, room sizes, activities, outdoor space, policies including administering medication, price, staffing, opening hours, the homely feeling you get when you walk in.
In my opinion, there is no better childcare centre they could attend, the team offer such a personalised approach to each individual kid. They complete multiple different activities daily with all age groups. The handover that you receive at the end of your kid’s day is detailed and if you have any questions they will consistently be answered. Having had my son in all 4 of the rooms at Tippy Toes I can see how he has grown there.
Parents evenings and the freedom to speak to the team at any point make the communication between team and parents easy.

I can honestly say it’s been a privilege to have been able to be part of the Tippy Toes family and see my kids thrive in such a fantastic setting. Over 9 years, the fantastic team at Tippy Toes have cared for two of my kids and now that they are moving up to big school, we are sad to say goodbye. The house feels like a home which was an important factor for me when my kids were babies. Focus is consistently on the kid and there couldn’t be more opportunity for them to explore, learn and journey new things. The manager and the team spend so much time and attention on developing each individual kid needs and interests, constantly investing in new playtime and discovery equipment. The garden area is just the most magical and fun place. Communication with parents is excellent and the food provided is nutritious and has a truly varied menu – has consistently been thoroughly enjoyed. I couldn’t rate this childcare centre any higher – it is truly a gem in our town.

My son also turned 18 months and began to regress showing signs of autistic traits which they confidently and professionally advised us as parents of what they will be doing and what assistance and actions we needed to take and were able to hold our hands throughout. I could not say enough excellent things about TippyToes, their team, house and grounds and extra value actions have been invaluable and I will consistently hold a place in my heart for them. We were able to begin our Special Educational Needs Coordinator process on-site and externally and they put individual discovering plans in place and spoke with us every day on pick up of his developments.

Not to mention the main thing they supported us through was taking our kid during the pandemic, as a mum, I was terrified. But they instilled and proved trust and understood the concern as a parent and handled it brilliantly. Especially my son’s key workers who treated him like their own, we had a very sad goodbye when we left and I miss them to this day! I cannot thank them enough.
