Tiddler's Promise

Tiddlers Day Nursery opened in March 1997 and has been at the heart of Early Years care in Saltford ever since.

We cater for babies and Toddlers at our nursery setting on Bath Road, in Saltford and pre-school children at our pre-school setting within the grounds of Saltford Primary School. All the staff have early year's qualifications and regularly update these to keep their knowledge fresh. We are a very friendly, happy nursery, pre-school and Chuckles and we are proud of the service and care that we provide.

Each room is equipped with its own age related equipment and resources to ensure the environment your child plays in meets their needs. We believe strongly in working with the parents and carers of all the children who attend our settings and welcome all your comments and suggestions.

Tiddlers aim to meet the emotional & social needs of the children and to offer appropriate care & stimulation to prepare them for early years' curriculum. The equipment, activities & routines have been selected to give the best possible care and encourage all areas of development in all children.

We aim to provide the highest quality care and education in a warm, loving and safe environment.
