Tots & Scholars - Nursery & Preschool

"My daughter goes to Tots and Scholars and I am really very happy with its services. It’s a brilliant nursery and has extremely nurturing environment. All the staff members as well as the owner are amazing. When I drop her in the morning I don’t look back and I feel she is in the safe hands. The staff is very friendly, humble and cooperative. They always answer parents queries. The communication has proven to be excellent. At the time of pick up, they tell what the child has done during the day and give all the updates. All the staff are highly qualified and fully trained. ACTIVITIES They do lots of different activities like singing, acting, dance, sports, outdoor, forest school, painting, book reading, story session, disco dance and many more. They celebrate all the festivals too and help the children in understanding the different religions and cultures around the world. They organise various events and invite the parents to see the kid’s performances like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Diwali Event, Story Telling, Christmas Concert etc. FOOD The have a special chef onsite everyday who cook amazing and delicious fresh food. My daughter loves eating there. They provide breakfast club, morning snacks, lunch, pudding, afternoon snacks, tea time snacks during the day and the food is loved by all the children. They take care of the children in a very nice and motherly way. My daughter wants to go the nursery even on the weekends as well because she is so happy there and loves her nursery teachers. PRIVATE SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS They teaches very well and prepare the kids for the Private School Assessments - Reception Entry. They have a broad curriculum which covers all the topics necessary for the growing child to learn. They teach the kids how to write, read, making drawings etc. They have a dedicated learning room for the daily learning sessions which runs through out the day. They send weekly working sheets via email so kids can also practice at home with the parents. They have a broad knowledge about the private school assessments and knows which school is looking for what in the kids. They prepare the kids and teach them everything required for the assessment like recognising shapes, counting, alphabets, writing name, reading, making drawings, colouring, solving puzzles, beads threading, dice numbers, finding the missing numbers/alphabets, patterns, making stories on their own as well as being friendly and learn how to share things with others, being kind, respect others and many more. My daughter sat for Manor Lodge School and Haberdasher Girls and she got offers from both of them. I am proud of her as well as proud of all the nursery staff who are so dedicated towards the learning of the kids. Every year the Tots & Scholars kids gets selected in the top Private Schools of U.K. My daughter has come a long way and improved and excelled in every area of growth after joining Tots. She has become very independent and wants to do the things on her own. All the kids are super well behaved. I am very happy and feels so lucky that she goes to this nursery. It’s the “BEST” and outstanding. I highly recommend it. Thank you"

"TAS is an excellent nursery and pre-school setting. My little one has been there for just over a year now and it's been wonderful to see her flourish. The staff are so warm and caring - she and we have great relationships with all of them, and we feel very much a part of the TAS community. The staff also clearly know all the children as individuals and encourage their interests and development accordingly. The approach to learning is fun and creative, whether it's within the setting or out in the community or forest school. If you're looking to get your child into private school, they will do everything they can to help achieve this - I was very impressed with the time and effort invested in getting the children into first choice schools. I also really appreciate the high standard of communication with the parents, as well as the effort they put into celebrating a diverse range of events, often including the parents too! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TAS to other families, and look forward to my younger one joining the nursery soon!"

"Having my little one join last year, I have been so impressed by the love, dedication and consistent hard work and efforts from the Nursery. The ethos at TAS is what attracted me to enroll my child together with their approach for learning and a balanced curriculum which include outdoor learning, extra support activities, dance classes etc. It is clear to see why they have an Ofsted rating of 'Outstanding'! I haven't yet come across another Nursery that quite does it like TAS, it gives a sense of community and feels like a family. The staff are warm, nurturing and as a parent you can feel reassured leaving your little one to grow, learn and thrive! Thank you all for everything you do and continue to do for the children you care for, it doesn't go unnoticed at all!"

"We have had a fantastic experience at Tots and Scholars. We sent our eldest there and now have our younger one there too. The standards for academic progress, food quality, activities for the children, and communication with the parents are consistently outstanding. We are very happy and would highly recommend the nursery to anyone."

"I have been working at TAS now for two years. The children are nurtured and cared for by the most dedicated staff team I have the privilege to work with. Our amazing team have created a nurturing, family environment in which the children are happy and eager to learn. They are encouraged to share their ideas and interests with that in mind we provide the opportunity for the children explore them and extend their knowledge. Family and community is a key part of the TAS ethos. This is promoted by holding events within the nursery for our parents who are an integral part of our ethos and these events are a great opportunity for them to have fun and take part in activities with their children. Another example is outings in the community such as visiting the local care home and surrounding local businesses and the children always enjoy these visits. It is a happy, healthy environment for children to enjoy and thrive in."
