Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved our son to Puffins Manston Terrace last month from another nursery, and the difference has been incredible! The baby room team are truly amazing - our son is so happy, settled, and confident here. We receive wonderfully thoughtful photo updates each day, and they even take the children on outings
to places like museums. The nursery clearly provides child-focused, individualised care, and we couldn't be more impressed. We're so grateful we made the move -the change in our son has been astonishing.

I am very satisfied! The staff is great, they are very friendly and professional. The children are offered many different and stimulating activities. The food menu is great and with the app they use I am always updated about what my son had to eat, how many nappy changes he had and I also receive cute
pics of him being busy in one of the activities. My son loves Puffin and I 100% recommend!

Is a great nursery, my daughter is always happy to go, everybody is nice and helpful, lot of activities for the kids, the building is nice as well and they have a nice garden. I have seen lot of nurseries because I moved around a lot, and this is definitely in my top 3. Also not much personnel rotation,
which is good for the kids and a good sign for the nursery. I would be happy to recommend it to everybody

My twin children have been attending Puffins Manston Terrace since March 2025 and I can really see how much they are getting out of being in their care, they have learnt so much from them. They both absolutely love going into nursery and seeing all their friends and also all the kind staff members that
work along side them. I would highly recommend Puffins.

So to be completely honest, & after the most difficult year,, with the loss of pre-schooling @ Little Swans, Puffins have made both my sons (Jago & Monty) school life's AWESOME ! In such a short period the change in them is so positive, I cannot be more pleased with the level of care, love & eye for
detail, it is exemplary..Jago has now transitioned into foundation WC he is totally ready for his school learning journey..
Monty has another 12months @Puffins & will be exactly the same, or even more ready with having a full year!
Just want to say a massive Thankyou to all the team, especially Evie who been there throughout Jago nursery & preschool..
And to Abbey, your professionalism whilst being personable in this very difficult job, as head mistress, has made me feel total trust in you & your team, just puts any anxiety at ease to leave my two most precious boys with you & enables me to concentrate on my work knowing they are totally safe in your care
Thank you for everything x

from E S (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we moved house I was most nervous about settling my 1 and 3 year old into a nursery together where they would be happy and thrive. They were so happy with their old nursery, it was a tall order. I did so much research and found puffins as our strongest contender.
The settling sessions went so
well (both my little ones are used to nursery) but the moment they started, puffins started to exceed my expectations. Both my kids love going to nursery (my 3 year old asks to go back in as soon as she is out) so I couldn't ask for better.
The staff are so professional kind and caring. I couldn't have hoped for better!

Puffins west cliff are a fantastic nursery and preschool. My two daughters attend, and I could not ask for more from the staff. They are so engaged, friendly, and the communication is excellent. I get photos from every session and reports on their learning, worlds away from the previous setting my eldest
was at. The rooms are bright and clean, well organised, lots of activities going on, lovely meals, and with a big garden to play in.
I was nervous sending in my 2 year old as she likes to be with me, but she has run in every day for the last six months, and always keen to go. They have made her so welcome, so content, it's been a dream as Mum.
The best nursery in our area, no question!

from Laura H (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy started at Puffins a few months ago, and from the very beginning the experience has been extremely positive. As a parent, I was naturally a little anxious, especially with him being only two years old and very attached to me, but the transition has been far smoother than I expected.


In

a short space of time, his confidence and speech have developed remarkably, which I credit to the supportive and nurturing environment the nursery provides. The staff are professional, approachable, and consistently keep parents well informed about their child's day, including any incidents or achievements. They are also very accommodating whenever changes to sessions or timings are needed.


Puffins offers a safe, fun, and engaging setting where children can thrive. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents.

I couldn't be happier with my experience at Puffins in the City Nursery.
The staff are caring, friendly, and attentive to my son's needs, and the communication with parents is excellent. We are kept informed about his daily activities, meals, and progress, along with lovely daily pictures of him enjoying
different activities.

The staff at Puffins in the City are quite simply amazing!


My children always come home happy (albeit very tired after a great day!) and love telling me all the fun things they've been up to.


The genuine care and individual attention each child receives is so lovely to see.


The garden is on

the small side but the trips to the quay, the park and into town more than make up for this.


Thank you to everyone at Puffins for everything you do.

We are very happy with the overall experience for our little one at Puffins Sowton.

Our daughter has been at Puffins in Sowton for over two years and has thrived. She absolutely loves her time there, and the staff have all been amazing at talking with her and the other children about her different family set up so that she feels included and confident about having two mums. We signed

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't rate Sowton highly enough! My son has been attending now for 6 months and is about to turn 1. He thoroughly enjoys himself and is always happy to go in and isn't always ready to leave with me! He adores the two staff members in the baby room, who somehow always manage to match his endless energy!
He gets to spend a lot of time outdoors which is important for me as after a full day of work, it's not always possible to manage dinner and get out the house. He accesses a great range of activities, sensory and messy play and receives affection and care tailored to his developing needs. He enjoys the meals and his ongoing dietary needs are well catered for. He's allowed to explore at his own pace but is encouraged to hit his milestones which are well documented and shared on a daily basis through photos, written and verbal feedback. Any mum guilt for working is diminished with how involved I am made to feel with his days, despite not being there!
A fabulous team all round! Thank you!
