Tick Tock All Stars Day Nursery
Good★ 4.2 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Nottingham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 2014, with 31 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Nottingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottingham from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy at the setting. They settle quickly and become immersed in activities. Children have a good understanding of the routines and expectations of the setting. For example, as they arrive to their gymnastics session, children know to take off their shoes and coats and go and sit on the mat to wait for their instructors. Children behave well. They understand staff expectations, and their behaviour is age-appropriate. Staff provide reassurance for children when they become upset and take time to attend to their needs.
Staff know their children well. They support children to develop good relationships with their key person, which helps children to feel safe and secure within the setting. When children start at the setting, staff create individualised settling-in plans. Staff gather information from parents about the skills they already have and use this information to plan activities and experiences children will enjoy.
Children's work and photos are displayed around the setting, which gives them a real sense of belonging. During play, children talk about the photos on the wall, seeking staff out to name what is in the photo and repeating words back to them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- work with staff to implement strategies to develop children's language skills consistently across the setting
- strengthen staff skills and knowledge to ensure activities support children to gain the skills and learning intended.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
