In our opinion there are MANY reasons that a parent or caregiver would choose to enrol their child at a Dinotots setting, some would say TOO many to list, but here are a few reasons we feel you may find important when choosing the right nursery for your child:
Dinotots Lead - Other Follow
We are proud to be able to honestly state that since the creation of the first Dinotots Nursery others began to observe us more closely and try to adapt their offering accordingly; the way we do business, our room layouts, our charging structure, the resources we use and even the way we post on Social media! This only increased with every nursery we opened
We are, however, humbled to know that, by this imitation, we are obviously doing it right!
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." - Oscar Wilde
Safeguarding is our passion, not just a requirement
We understand that leaving your child in the care of others can be extremely daunting.
We understand it is not a decision you make lightly; you enquire with numerous provisions, you filter down your preferred places and then go and take a look around.
It's a lot to take in from just that one visit and a big decision to make, sometimes in a short space of time.
We are here to guide you through the process, smoothly, peacefully and professionally.
Dinotots Happiness Guarantee
We are so confident that your
child will love it at your chosen
Dinotots Nursery that we offer
all new parents our
14 day money back guarantee.
So, if your child does not settle, or anything else regarding the
nursery doesn’t make you 100% happy within the first 14
calendar days of your child attending the nursery, then you
can request, in writing, to cancel your contract, without having
to pay the childcare industry’s standard 4-week notice period
AND you will get a refund of any remaining days on that
month’s invoice that you’ve paid for but haven’t used.
We can’t say fairer than that!
Millies Mark Accreditation
Dinotots Settings* are the ONLY Early Years Providers in the area to gain the Millie's Mark Accreditation and to undergo the rigorous assessment process which includes an evaluation of first aid policies and procedures, as well as an assessment of our staff's first aid skills knowledge.
The assessments are carried out by an independent assessor who is trained and accredited by the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA)Parents and caregivers can be confident that a childcare provider with Millie's Mark Accreditation has met high standards for first aid and emergency managementMillies Mark was created in memory of Millie Thompson, a young girl who tragically died from choking whilst attending a nursery in 2012. The accreditation is designed to prevent similar tragedies from occurring and to provide reassurance to parents and caregivers that, whilst at Dinotots their children are in safe hands
*Both Dinotots Childcare AND Dinotots Daycare hold the accreditation
All Staff FULLY paediatric 1st Aid Trained
At Dinotots we ensure that all the staff dealing with your child are fully qualified in paediatric first aid. This ensures that your child can be given the right assistance, at the right time, in time.
Accidents do happen, we all know that, but having a fully trained staff member to assist, maintain calm and provide care and support to others in an emergency your child will get the immediate care they deserve.
Nobody ever knows when an emergency might happen, but with first aid trained staff, you know we'll be ready
Every Nursery Fitted with Defibrillators
Defibrillators have the potential to save the lives of pupils, staff and visitors in Early Years Settings, with research showing that accessing these devices within 3-5 minutes of a cardiac arrest increases the chance of survival by over 40%.
Dinotots settings have their own, privately funded defibrillators on site and all staff are fully trained on their use.
These are not gimmicks, they are potential life savers which Dinotots have invested in to provide instant assistance when needed, and although we hope they will never be needed you may want to ask why other settings wouldn't be investing in them!
Affordable and
cost-effective fees
While cost is an important consideration when choosing a childcare provider, it is also important to remember that the quality of care should not be compromised.
At Dinotots we, and the parents currently using our services, feel that we have found an extremely balanced approach that makes them cost-effective, sustainable and able to renew, refresh and integrate new resources back into the nursery.
Our flexible method of charges enables parents and carers the ability to choose the hours and days of care that best suit their needs and schedules with clear and transparent charges from the outset.
A Solid Reputation
We are extremely happy to be able to state that Dinotots nurseries have both an enviable reputation with our parents and carers and also a great reputation in our community
This has been gained through a warm and comforting environment, passionate nursery practitioners, active learning from the children, and our safe and child-friendly facilities.
The majority of our parents are gained from receiving referrals and through good word-of-mouth. Hearing from trusted friends about their good experiences with Dinotots is the best form of ambassador for our services.

Our fully equipped sensory rooms are designed to meet the sensory needs of children with a range of abilities and needs. This may include children with sensory processing disorders, autism spectrum disorder, or other developmental or learning disabilities.

Sensory rooms can also provide a calming and therapeutic environment for children who may be experiencing anxiety or stress.
At Dinotots we find that a professionally equipped sensory room can provide a valuable resource for children with a range of abilities and needs, helping them to develop their senses, build confidence, and experience the world in a safe and stimulating way.
Parent’s Breakfast Stations
We understand that your life is hectic, trying to get your young one to Dinotots can seem like mobilising an Army some mornings!
This can even take precedence over grabbing a quick bite to eat or even a hot beverage - so we have you covered.

Sterilising Units in the Baby rooms
