Despite reporting that "children generally behave well", the inspector did note "occasionally, children are not fully supported to understand boundaries and behavioural expectations" which can "lead to some boisterous play".

Tiny Teapots is part of Just Childcare – a group of day nurseries across the north-west, Yorkshire and the south west of England.
