Our story…
In 1998, Tommies owner/CEO, Caroline, had twin daughters who were attending a local pre-school. It was struggling financially and due to close as a result, but she was on the parents’ forum and became aware of the situation.
Not wanting to see the pre-school that her family attended and loved, fail, she made an offer to buy the business. Caroline was able to save it and make it sustainable again. Since then Tommies has grown and developed considerably. We currently have eight day nurseries located across the West Midlands, Warwickshire, and Derby.
At Tommies, our ethos has moved towards having a strong focus on the wellbeing of our staff as well as the children in our care. We’re extremely proud that Tommies has its own personality and its own way of doing things. It makes us unique, trusted, and the #1 choice for so many families.

Tommies Guarantee
If you aren’t happy with your child’s first month with us, we'll be happy to sit down with you to discuss it, and if need be, refund your fees.
Your child can come back time and time again until they are genuinely settled and happy to come.
Come rain or shine, your child will be having indoor or outdoor adventures (depending on the undependable British weather) packed with fun activities. Don't forget their wellies and puddlesuits/raincoats!
Our people are at the heart of what we do. We take very careful steps to ensure our employees are the right fit for us and your child.
We promise to work with your child to build their self-esteem, social skills, and confidence. We'll watch as their inquisitiveness and individuality grow, and we’ll be there to support them every step of the way.
