Ofsted Inspection Summary

Tick Tock Day Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 1 June 2021 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff prioritise children's well-being, welcoming children back into small groups after the nursery re-opened during COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. As a result, children are settled and excited to come to nursery, separating from their carers with ease. While children's families are not able to enter the nursery building currently due to COVID-19 restrictions, parents are extremely positive about the nursery and describe the supportive contact they receive."
