Once you step inside the school, the cosy and cheerful atmosphere will win your heart over instantly. They have ensured a safe and secure environment in which children can feel relaxed, comfortable and challenged. The bright and airy classrooms inspire the children to enjoy their time at Tiddly Winks and to get the most out of their day. Cecilia Gilbert, who recognised a need for quality childcare for pre-schoolers, established Tiddly Winks Playschool in October 2004 and the school welcomed its first learners aged between 2-5 years through its doors. The Playschool quickly filled and today boasts 60 places and nine members of staff. Current owner Demi Deruyter who purchased the school in 2010 believes a strong focus on holistic development, wellbeing, education and happiness is essential in helping to shape little minds. The school has successfully expanded to its present capacity whilst maintaining the values and traditions that gives Tiddly Winks Playschool its unique identity. Tiddly Winks will far exceed the expectations of a mere playschool as it is home away from home. The school is beautifully structured where children not only play and learn but flourish into the best little people they can possibly be. Tiddly Winks teachers are enthusiastic and passionate about every one of their learners giving them the love and care they need to develop wholeheartedly and instill in them a love for learning. Every aspect of the curriculum and daily routine is child centered and discussion times and lessons are carefully planned to suit the needs and knowledge prerequisite for each age group. The time and thoughtfulness that goes into planning is easily evident during class rings and the main goal is to capture every learner’s interest and to let them engage freely in the magical world of schooling that Tiddly Winks represents. The school is well stocked for all areas of development from gross motor to fine motor to fantasy play.
