Welcome to Teaching Tots

Early Years Education

Who's Teaching Tots?

Teaching Tots is an independent company created to provide high quality and affordable early years education. With our experienced staff working closely with both parents and the children to provide a friendly and inviting setting.

We have enjoyed working with local parents for over 20 years and it’s amazing to think that some of our parents actually came to us as three year old’s.

We can offer both full day care and part day care but as we are very busy it’s never too early to speak with us and get on the waiting list.

We pride ourselves in being friendly and welcoming and we believe that we give the children the best start. We strongly believe that the pre-school experience should be shared by the whole family so we welcome and encourage everyone to get involved.

So please give us a call and arrange a visit, we would love to see you and for you to see us.
