About Toddly

Toddly helps parents compare registered nurseries and pre-schools on what decides it: fees, Ofsted results, opening hours, the ages they take and funded places, with the source and date next to every detail.

Toddly is run by Sentient AI Inc, 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ. You can reach us at [email protected].

Why we built it

Choosing a nursery means opening a dozen websites, most of which do not publish their fees, and reading Ofsted reports that changed format in November 2025. We wanted one place that shows every registered nursery the same way, says honestly what it does not know, and lets you ask a nursery a question at any time of day.

Where the information comes from

• Ofsted’s register and inspections. Every listing starts from Ofsted’s register of early years providers, so if a nursery is registered and open, it is here. Inspection results are shown as Ofsted publishes them: older single grades and the new report cards are never mixed, and report cards have no overall grade, so we never invent one.
• Each nursery’s own website. Fees, opening hours, ages and what a nursery offers come from its own published pages, linked as the source.
• The nursery itself. Nurseries that claim their page can correct and add details; their changes are labelled as coming from the nursery.
• Google. We show a nursery’s Google rating and the number of reviews, with a link. We never copy Google review text.
• Parents. Reviews written by parents on Toddly, each read by a person before it is published (how reviews work).
• Government data for schools nearby (Department for Education) and the funding rules (gov.uk).

How often we check

We rebuild the whole list regularly from these sources. Every nursery page says when it was last checked, and each detail shows its own date. Ofsted publishes full register data less often than individual reports, so a very recent inspection can take a little while to appear. More in how we get our data.

What we believe

• No pay-to-rank. Nurseries cannot pay to appear higher. How we rank explains the order in full.
• Unknown is not “no”. When we do not know something we say so. A missing detail is never shown as a “no”.
• Your details go only where you send them. We never sell personal information. See our privacy notice.

Getting something corrected

If a detail is wrong, use “Report an error” at the bottom of the nursery’s page, or email [email protected] with the page and the correct information. Nurseries can claim their page free and fix it themselves. Our editorial policy explains how we write guides and handle corrections.
