Our little girl is absolutely thriving in Tory’s environment.
She settled in really well, I believe this is from having a home from home environment with attentive care interactions and focus on the individual child needs.
You can see the daily organisation and genuine efforts put into to making sure the children are kept entertained and challenged in play and sociable activities.
Fresh yummy meals are made for the children, often in the Summer spending time at the park with a picnic. At collection time our little girl is always really happy and content.
The experience, guidance and genuine care for the children is amazing. I feel very lucky to have found a fun, safe, loving and trusting space for our little lady here!

My daughter started going to Tory when she was about 1 and half years old. She had just moved from India and did only speak very few words in English.
Tory Katie and John has been really wonderful to my child. Within 1 year she now communicates quite well in English. She is also more social.
It is really like a home environment and what I really appreciate is Tory sends pictures and videos of my child almost everyday. They also provide a diary which they fill in everyday to let us know about all the meals and activities they did each day.
My daughter always look forward to going to Tory and her little friends. I like the way they have planned out each week for the children to keep them engaged and active.
They are also happy to accommodate any special requests for our children and are also quite welcome to feedback.

I was recommended to Tory by a friend who also has their child with her. My son loves his nursery days and always has something to tell me when we get home. Usually it’s about an adventure to the woods, or the park, or messy play in the garden and he tells me about the ‘yummy’ lunches and dinners.
There are toys that allow for individual play, as well as communal activities like group reading and singing and dancing.
My son seems to learn something new every time he goes and it’s lovely seeing him so happy to be dropped off in the morning. He often talks about his nursery friends before bed and says how much fun he’s had.
I feel very lucky to have been introduced to Tory and the team. 5 stars from me!!

Our little girl has been with Tory since she was 7 months old. A year has passed so quickly.
Thanks to Tory, Katie and John our daughter has developed so quickly.
It’s really helped her to become a social confident baby / toddler.
She’s learning so quickly. Her speech, understanding, social skills, independence and mobility.
We get daily photos or videos of her taking part in so many different activities.
They take her to playgroup twice a week exposing her to even more people and children.
There’s no way we could keep our little gem (Minx) so busy and so engaged for so long.
You can see that she’s just so happy.
Tory is full of advice and tips if there’s a problem.
The food is all homemade and our daughter loves it.
There’s a daily diary completed without fail.
We would highly recommend Tory, and have done to a couple of friends and colleagues.

Our two children have been going to Tory for nearly 18 months and I honestly can’t recommend her enough.
The setting is ideal for playing, learning and really is a home from a home. My toddler daughter goes there 3 days a week and her development has been incredible in all areas. She absolutely loves it and is always talking about her little friends and Tory, Katie (Tory’s assistant) and Tory’s family. She especially loves playing with Tory’s teenage daughter and sometimes doesn’t want to come home with me if she’s there after school!
Tory takes the kids to playgroups, the beach, local parks for picnics, sports days etc. and sends lovely photos throughout the day. She keeps an early years book for each of the kids and updates it every night with key achievements.
Tory’s husband does all the cooking and both my kids love the food.
I couldn’t recommend Tory enough.

We started sending our little boy to Tory when he was only 8 month old. Very quickly all my concerns and anxiety went away as I can tell my son has been taken very good care of and he is happy everyday. My son suffered from eczema quite seriously, Tory stood in our shoes, tried all means to help us control the situation and provided us with a lot of suggestions. The setting of the place is also very good, instead of staying indoor all the time, lots of activities have been arranged. All the kids will go out to get fresh air and attending play groups on a weekly basis. The activities allows my son to have social exposures but at the mean time, well protected from illness. The atmosphere is very good as well, make you feel like a big family! Tory is definitely one of the bests and I recommended her to my friends as well.

Our darling son has been with Victoria since he was a year old and we couldn't be happier with her whole approach. To us, her setting offers the right balance of bespoke care and opportunities to socialise with other children of similar as well as different ages. The play environment is wonderful, the outings are fun and varied, and our DS enjoys all the meals he gets. DS and we as first time parents have learnt so much with histories help (getting him to self settle for naps, to use the potty). We think ourselves so lucky to have found her!

Tory has been an absolute life saver, she looked after my son Chester for just a few months whilst I found someone more local to me in Tonbridge. I am absolutely gutted to be moving my son but the travel has got too much.
Chester settled in so well and Tory treated him like he was one of her own. It is so comforting knowing he was in a safe, fun, friendly, lovely environment.
She is great for sending pictures during the day of all the activities he has been up to, amazing cook he was eating his vegetables with her which he would never do at home!
I would highly recommend Tory to anyone. 5***** from us!
Thank you so much.

My two children (aged 6 and 4 now) have been with Tory for two years and not a day has gone by when they haven't been excited and happy to go to her setting. They thoroughly enjoy all of the activities that Tory provides, and I suspect often have far more fun there than at home with Mum and Dad! I feel really lucky to have found someone who provides such a great environment for them to thrive in.
Tory provides a really active environment for children, lots of outdoors activity, and lots of proactive learning and development. She provides a healthy, balanced diet and lots of exercise and fun. All year around they are out on adventures, playing in the woods or helping in the garden. My son (aged 4 now) has grown and learnt so much in the last year and is very ready to start school in September, despite being young for his year. Tory always appears tolerant and patient with the children she cares for, whilst ensuring they learn good manners / are well behaved and treat others with kindness.
Tory's setting is really homely, and I know my children feel like the other children in her care (and especially Tory's own family!) are an extension of their own family. Each and every time I pick them up they are disappointed to have to leave and come home.
I really cannot recommend Tory highly enough.

Tory has been looking after my 2 precious kids for over 3 years. She has a marvellous playroom, goes for long walks in parks and woods, cooks healthy food including vegs! My kids always enjoyed going to her for the day, mixing up with other children from different ages and background. When you pick your children up at 6pm, you have the mind at peace knowing they had a good dinner and they're just ready for a bath and a long night sleep. Tory has the perfect recipe where she mixes fun, development of your child social skills, learning (shapes, numbers, alphabet, etc) and respect of your surrounding world. I would highly recommend her!
