Tiny Town Kindergarten
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Tadley for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2022. Open since 2001, with 30 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 Hampshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hampshire 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 love coming to this welcoming and home-from-home setting. They receive attentive and warm care that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Children freely choose from a range of accessible resources and activities. They are self-motivated and confidently lead their own play. For example, children explore with play dough.
They make imprints with their fingers and use other objects they find to create patterns. Children make good progress from their individual starting points.
Children show kindness and consideration to others. They reassure other children who are a little apprehensive to have a go and experiment with unfamiliar resources. This illustrates that children are developing empathy towards their friends. Children are encouraged to persevere at tasks. They smile and cheer as they celebrate their efforts. Children behave well. They are well-mannered and talk to others with respect. Children understand clear boundaries to keep themselves safe. For example, they remember to always use 'walking feet' indoors.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support staff and help them to identify opportunities to give children more encouragement to explore, experiment and follow their own ideas to consolidate and extend their learning.

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.
