A few amazing words from some of our parents & guardians :

​

​

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Crondall Dottie Tots. From the moment our child started, we’ve seen them grow in confidence, curiosity, and happiness. The staff are absolutely wonderful - caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about supporting each child’s unique development. ​What really stands out is the variety of resources and activities used to encourage learning, exploration, and creativity. Every day brings something new, and it’s clear how thoughtfully everything is planned to nurture both skills and imagination. Our child is thriving in this environment, and as parents, there’s no better feeling than knowing your little one is supported and excited to learn. ​We’re so grateful to have found such a nurturing and inspiring place for our child to begin their educational journey”

I couldn’t have picked a better place for my daughter to begin her educational journey. Dottie Tots go above and beyond every single day, continuously offering new opportunities and experiences for the children. Since joining the nursery my daughter has thrived, and we’ve seen such an amazing growth in her. Her daughter loves her key person and adores the Forest School sessions. We absolutely love Dottie’s Crondall and always recommend the setting to friends and family.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Dottie Tot’s! From day one we were bowled over by the incredible staff who have consistently been a great source of support and advice. Our daughter can be shy but has managed to nurture friendships with the help of her key worker Mrs Sophie and we can really see her confidence growing and growing. Dottie’s really master being able to learn through fun and exploration and I am always impressed to see what they have achieved in a day! Having clear routines and scheduled activities like forest school, yoga or phonics with the other pre-schoolers has also helped prepare my daughter for school, and it’s a huge relief to know Dottie’s have that transition in hand. We cannot fault our experience with Dottie’s and will miss them in September!

The management and leadership are great – always super helpful and quick to respond. I can’t thank the team enough for all the support they have given my daughter. The staff are incredibly nurturing, making every child feel supported. The development reports and observations are especially appreciated and help us keep connected to my daughters learning.

Elizabeth – April 2025

 

​

Our son has made so much progress since joining Dottie Tots and we feel that this is communicated to us in great detail. We feel that he has settled brilliantly, and he is really happy at the nursery. We absolutely love the learning environment and the opportunities to learn and play each day. We feel the level of communication is excellent and we feel very informed and that we are working in partnership with the team.

We are very happy with Dottie Tots, our son joined last September, and he has made such amazing progress. The staff are incredibly supportive and friendly. Our son loves the forest school learning and how much time they spend outdoors. We also enjoy the parent event day when families are welcomed into the nursery.

I was a little nervous make my daughter started nursery as she was so attached to me and was quiet a shy little girl. During the settling in process, I felt that the staff were amazingly supportive in getting to know my family and daughter, and taking it step by step to support her in settling in fully at nursery. I feel that the attention and care the children at the setting receives is amazing, and this really shines through the children’s development and confidence. My daughter is becoming emotionally intelligent and her confidence, as well as her communication skills come on leaps and bounds, and that’s all thanks to the amazing staff team at Dottie’s.

I couldn’t be more happier for my son Arthur to be attending Dottie Tots Nursery. They have always gone beyond expectations and have really been a great help with Arthur and his hearing and speech. They are always quick to talk about any concerns they have about Arthur and do speech and language sessions with him. The forest club is particularly a great place for boys like Arthur who just love the outdoors and it’s so nice that Dottie Tots have the open space for him to explore.

 

Sophie the manager is specifically a superb Nursery Teacher and I can see why she does the job she does. She’s always organised, goes beyond a managerial role and is super friendly and fun to talk to. We often have a giggle about Arthur and what he gets up too. It’s so nice to have the communication that we do around Arthur as I know he is safe and looked after and enjoying himself. The staff are all very good at talking to me about Arthur and his activities, reassuring me with anything I have concerns about. The parent and child events they put on and all the effort they put in just shows the staff all have a passion for their job and I couldn’t be more delighted to say that Arthur went to Dottie Tots! Dottie tots will be sadly missed when we leave .
