Employer Description:
Established in 2003 by two working mums, The Tiny Toes Nursery Club has grown into the most reputable and best Nursery in Hertford, UK. We have proudly supported over 900 children on their early learning journey. Unlike large corporate nursery chains, The Tiny Toes Nursery Club is a truly independent, family-run nursery. We also offer a warm and welcoming ‘home-from-home’ environment. Our team intentionally restricts the number of children in each room. Allowing our passionate team to build meaningful relationships with every child and family, altogether. Each child matters to us as a unique individual, not just a number in a busy setting. We proudly operate as the only Curiosity Approach® accredited nursery in the Hertford area. Drawing inspiration from Montessori principles and modern early-years research is what we do. Our child-led, play-based philosophy brings curiosity, awe, and wonder into everyday learning. Encouraging children to become confident, creative, and independent thinkers. In 2025, we proudly opened our brand-new dedicated Baby Unit, designed specifically for babies aged 6 to 18 months. We are located in a separate building from the main nursery. This calm and cosy space allows our youngest children to flourish in their own secluded environment. We offer a private garden and specialist baby sensory resources that support their early development and wellbeing at this tender age. As a result of our child-led educational philosophy and supportive family feel, we often see children who graduate from our nursery, go on to be ahead of their peers with their problem-solving & communication skills when they start school.
