Babies - 0-12 months
The first days, weeks and months of nursery can be a challenging time for parents and babies alike. Here at Tiny Tree we understand this and have a system in place for ensuring a smooth transition. Each child is assigned a key worker, who will form a unique bond with your child to ease the transition. You key worker will be your primary contact at the nursery, ensuring the best possible start for everyone.
Toddlers - 13-24 months
As your babies grow into toddlers, they will transition to our 13-24 month age group at Tiny Tree. Learning and education is integrated into our activities, still leaving plenty of time for fun! Toddlers develop quickly in this age range. Taking this into account, we have a separate ‘Rising Two’s’ group, ensuring learning and development is age appropriate at all times.
Over Two's - 25-36 months
The Over Two’s offers the best in learning and development as your toddlers grow up. The transition to school is getting closer, so the 25-36 month age range is separated into two, via the Rising Threes group. This separation ensures that your children get the most appropriate environment for their development at all times.
Preschool 36 months +
Here at Tiny Tree our pre school provides all your children need for a smooth transition to school. The group is focused around preparing for the next steps and our relationships with local schools gives the best start in education.

Tiny Tree Day Nursery is a lovely setting both inside the nursery and outside the nursery with plenty of space for playing indoors and outdoors. All the rooms ranging from baby room to preschool base most of their playing around educational activities. My child always comes back from nursery very happy.
Review from Tom F (Father of Child)
Average Rating: 5
The sudden change to my young sons routine caused me a great level of anxiety when told I was coming off furlough and going back to work after lockdown. After meeting the manager and her showing me round I felt a weight had been lifted. I cannot recommend Tiny Tree enough. Thanks guys!
