We honestly cannot recommend Jo, Vicki and Donna highly enough. Our daughter was with them from 9 months old until she turned 3.5, and during that time they became such a special and important part of her life.
From the very beginning, we knew she was safe, happy and incredibly well cared for. The setting truly felt like a home from home, with such a warm, loving and nurturing atmosphere. The experiences they provided, the setting, teaching and activities were all fantastic, and it was wonderful to see how much she learned, developed and blossomed while in their care.
Their kindness, patience and genuine love for our daughter were something else. We always felt completely at ease knowing she was in such wonderful hands. Communication was also excellent throughout, and we were always kept up to date and felt very involved in her time with them.
We were genuinely so sad when it was time for her to leave, which really says everything. They gave her such a wonderful start and created so many happy memories that we will always treasure.
We are incredibly grateful for everything they did for our daughter and would highly, highly recommend them to any family looking for caring, nurturing and exceptional childcare. ❤️

Awww that means a lot ❤️
My son started at Little Tiddlers at 10 months old and has now been there for nearly two years. We couldn’t be happier! Our son is so settled and happy with them. They are so supportive and regularly in communication with us, sending updates and photos. They use a daily communication book so we know what they’ve been up to, food, naps, nappy changes etc.
Our son struggles with separation and speech but absolutely loves Jo, Vicki and Donna and they have been so supportive of his development. They have all got to know him so well and he loves all the activities they do with him.
We are so grateful to have found Little Tiddlers!

My little girl struggles to leave me but with Jo ,Vicki and Donna they have been amazing with her , shown her patient and care and she settled in so well. She has learnt so much and really grown a personality since being here. It’s like home from home and such a lovely feeling, when you leave you know your child in good hands with lots of love and care.

Jo, Vicky and Donna have looked after my son since he was 14 months old and I couldn’t be happier with the care he receives.
They create such a warm, nurturing environment and it genuinely feels like a home away from home. My son absolutely loves going and is always excited to see them, which gives me so much reassurance that he is happy, safe and in great hands.
They provide a brilliant variety of activities and regularly take the children out to parks, baby groups and soft play. There is a real focus on learning and development, following the EYFS framework, while still making everything fun and engaging.
Communication is excellent. I receive regular photos, reports and daily written updates and I’ve always felt comfortable raising any feedback or questions.
It’s also the thoughtful extras that make them special. I was so pleasantly surprised when they organised a Christmas party for the children in 2025.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Jo, Vicky and Donna to any parent looking for a caring, engaging and genuinely lovely childcare setting.

This is lovely! Thank you !
Jo, Donna and Vicki are an amazing team who provide an excellent standard of care for kids. My child arrived at 1 year and has thrived with Jo and the team. Her home setting is fantastic but they take the kids out to parks, playgroups and activities. They also have extensive crafts, toys and things for kids to do at home while also providing personalised work from the children. Donna and Vicki are excellent helpers and treat all the children like their own. There is always lots of singing and story time.
An excellent setting where you child will enjoy going to and they will thrive. We loved our time here.

Thank you Marian that’s lovely to hear.!
I originally had my first born with Jo back in 2024, this was a big jump for me but I’ve never looked back since . With now my second born attending Little Tiddlers with Jo, Donna & Vicki - I would not trust anyone else. A beautiful, clean home with constant improvement & well thought environments for the children to learn and play. I know my children are loved and looked after like they are in their own home and have come on leaps and bounds in the care of 3 extremely lovely ladies who go above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend them enough and if I have more children I wouldn’t look elsewhere!
