Not just great home cooked food at Twinkle Tots …

Food Hygiene rating – Very Good!


Two years ago we took the bold decision to completely redesign the back of our nursery and build our own Kitchen so that we could offer a varied and nutritious menu of home cooked food for all of the children while taking control of costs. Needless to say we’re so happy to have been awarded a 5 star rating today.

At Twinkle Tots we make sure children have breakfast, a fruit snack, a hot lunch, high tea and drinks every day in a clean and safe environment.

Preschool ‘Spa’ day for mums and nans

Yesterday we invited mums and nans into nursery for a special kind of pampering and ‘spa’ day, all laid on by our wonderful preschool children with some help from our incredible staff. With the wonderful weather we’ve been having, we were able to extend our spa activities into our lovely garden area and the hobbit house was transformed into a haven of luxurious pampering.

Its always a pleasure to invite mums, dad’s nans and grandads into nursery, as here at Twinkle Tots we really believe in letting those that matter come in and see what a great time we have here, with each day packed with fun and learning, and why children at Twinkle Tots are so happy, inquisitive and eager to learn

Now a firm favourite in the calendar, on the Friday before fathers day we invite dad’s and grandads into Nursery to spend time with their children/grandchildren and to find out more about what the little ones are getting up to. Its a great opportunity for the children to show off the skills they’ve learnt and its a welcome break from the day to day for dads, and of course breakfast is provided for everyone.

Learning all about sustainability

The DfE has a directive that all Educational settings in England must appoint a sustainability lead by 2025 and have in place an action plan that promotes sustainability throughout the establishment, embedding the concepts and reasons for sustainability into children’s learning from an early age. As part of this initiative, we’ve been learning all about recycling in pre-school, setting the children a task of finding our hidden recyclable’s in our lovely outside play area and separating them out into different categories. Everyone had loads of fun and asked lots of questions.

Getting ready for summer !

We’ve been really busy getting our children’s play area ready for spring and summer!

A brand new lawned play area at Twinkle Tots

Its so lovely with Spring in the air to be able to get outside and get everywhere ready for the long days ahead. After last years rainfall being so heavy we’ve been working hard to create much better drainage from our play areas and we’ve finally re-laid our lovely new grassed play area ready for the children.
Thank you to Milton Garden Products for supplying the turf and gravel and to mother nature for looking down on us and letting the sun shine for two whole days while we did our work. Now all that’s left to do is to make sure everyone has a wonderful time in our beautiful play area.
