Tiggers Too Day Nursery

Tiggers Too Day Nursery in Blackwater is an OFSTED approved nursery owned by Jodie Hurt and managed by Michelle Wells. The nursery opened in 1997 and caters for children from birth to four and half years old.

Michelle says: "We have always had bad broadband speed and since the children use the internet for sites such as CBeebies and looking for images on Google for the projects we do, we don't want our lack of download speed to slow them down!"

Around 45 children attend the nursery on a daily basis and the staff of 12 often uses the computers alongside the children, or for more office based tasks such as downloading Early Years Foundation Stage source materials.

Seeing the benefits

Michelle says: "Already we have seen the benefits from a quicker connection. We have always had a nightmare contacting parents on a regular basis, but since our connection to superfast we have already set up a Facebook page. Our parents can now receive regular updates about the nursery and it's quicker, easier and cheaper than sending letters home!"

"The use of information and communication technology is part of the statutory framework our children learn to further their 'knowledge and understanding of the world' but we see superfast broadband as helping all of us do more!"
