The things everyone asks
Two to four short visits over one or two weeks, with you staying for the first. Your key carer leads the pace and sends notes after every visit.
A named bag with spare clothes, wellies, a water bottle and a comfort item for nap time. We provide nappies, wipes, sun cream and bedding.
Please keep your child home for 48 hours after sickness or a fever. We’ll call you straight away if they seem poorly during the day.
Our chef cooks a separate allergy-safe plate for every child who needs one, and it’s served on a coloured plate the whole team recognises.
Yes. The Tinkeroo app shows meals, naps, nappy changes, photos and a note from the teacher, updated through the day.
From families like yours
We toured four nurseries. This was the only one where the teachers were on the floor playing, not watching from a chair.
The app is brilliant. Meals, naps and a line from the teacher make the pickup chat so much richer than ‘what did you do today?’
Flexible days saved our family. We moved from three days to four mid-year with one message and zero fuss.
Questions? Just ask!
Our office team answers messages from 7:30 to 18:00 on weekdays.
