Day Nurseries Owned by Pennies Day Nursery Ltd

I just wanted to say thanks to the Pennies Kids Club team for all they've done this summer holiday. My daughter attended this year and had the most amazing time. Variety in activities, making friends, day trips out, it's been amazing. She loved the food and they even managed to get her to eat food we never could at home!! Thanks to all the staff members, you've been great and she's looking forward to seeing you all again in the October break already.

My son has been at Pennies since he was 11 months old and is about to complete his final week ahead of starting school. The team and environment is genuinely wonderful - it's a small nursery with a family feel and as a parent it's always felt like a very safe, secure and nurturing environment to leave my child in. He's flourished under their care, both socially and emotionally and also in these foundational stages of structured learning. I know he'll really miss nursery but also that he's been set up for success in the future. I couldn't recommend Pennies (Hockers Lane) more strongly.

Pennies is a fantastic setting and the team are wonderful! My youngest is in the baby room and the staff ensure he's happy and engaged during his days with them. They provide me with regular updates which makes me feel confident that he is enjoying his time there. My elder son attends their after school regularly throughout the week. He adores the staff and the range of activities that they provide. I find all the staff at Pennies so friendly and approachable I really couldnt praise them enough. I feel very grateful to have such a great setting available to us :)

My son has been attending the after school provision at Penny's since September and I have to say that the staff have pulled out stops to accommodate him with his neurodiversity. At first, he was completely disengaged and's disregulated, finding the provision challenging, but over the past few months, he has settled in beautifully and the staff have been brilliant. Thank you all

We feel so lucky to have found Pennies! Everyone is so friendly and staff really get to know the kids. My sons love their days there filled with fun activities, arts and crafts, and plenty of outdoor play!

Excellent nursery - great staff team and environment

We moved house in June 2025 and moved our daughter to this nursery, which has been a fantastic decision. We've since enrolled our 1-year-old too, and she is also really happy and settled. It's so reassuring knowing both our children enjoy their time here and are well cared for.

The team are wonderful - from the manager and key worker to the practitioners and chef - all warm, friendly, and clearly dedicated to the children. Our daughters attend full time, five days a week, and go in happily each day.

There's a great mix of learning, play, and fun, with lots of activities that keep the children engaged. We've seen them grow in confidence and development since starting.

It's also lovely to see ongoing improvements, with the garden currently being redeveloped. We couldn't be happier and feel very confident our daughters are settled and happy here.

The Best Nursery!! I have the most contact with Beth & Tiger-lily and they're such lovely women. My daughter Josephine loves being here. All the staff I have ever come in contact with always have a smile on their faces. Such a caring environment, I trust them whole heartedly with my little girl. I cannot recommend this Nursery enough, I wish my daughter could stay here forever.

Both my sons go to Pennies - my eldest has been there a couple years and my baby has just started. All the staff at Pennies show such care for them. They really take the time to get to know the children, encourage their interests and help them develop and build confidence. There's always time for outdoor play in any weather, which my little explorers love! And I love hearing about the different activities they've done each day. The team have really supported my eldest with his potty training this year, giving him plenty of encouragement! Thank you to everyone at Pennies for creating a wonderful environment for my little ones to spend their time.

Could not be happier with the care our little boy has received since joining Pennies! He loves going every day and since joining we've seen loads of progress in his development. All the staff are approachable and friendly with a particular shout out to his amazing key worker; Dani. Not only are Pennies great care givers, but they are faultless with their updates and communication. Our son has been at a couple of nurseries due to a house move and then being unhappy with the previous nursery - Pennies is hands down the best we've experienced! Highly recommend!! :)

Thank you for all of your hard work ladies!

Thank you Pennies!

I was invited along to grandparents day by my daughter. The amount of activities laid on for the children to participate in was amazing. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. You could see that the children were very happy and content around them. I have picked my grandson up from Pennies numerous times. You get so much information about the day he's had, what he's eaten etc. The whole nursery has a warm and welcoming aura. My grandson always looks forward to going and is very happy. The level of teaching is exceptional.

We love Pennies! The facilities are great, the food menu is healthy and varied, the updates are frequent and thorough, but the best thing by far are the staff. They are so friendly and really make the effort to bond with the children. From the very beginning my son loved going to nursery and gives all the staff the biggest smiles in the morning when I drop him off. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Pennies!

Our daughter attended here from 2.5 years old, and honestly I will miss her going here so much. Nothing was ever too much ask, they were always playing with the children and knew what activity she had enjoyed each day. They always greeted her and took extra time to make her feel confident. There's an open door where you can pick up/drop off whenever you like and I loved that as you could always see the children were cared for and engaged with no matter what time of day - i never once saw a child left crying unattended - which was so important for me and not true of other settings. The nursery is expensive compared to others but i feel confident my child was always safe and cared for, and they massively helped me as a working mother with all the little things I needed (eg suncream, medicines, brushing teeth!) which made it worth it. I feel confident she is ready for school and I notice all how much she learned from the activities by how she speaks at home! I would recommend to anyone!

My daughter has attended Pennies for nearly a year and loves it! The staff are all wonderful, so supportive of me as a parent and go above and beyond to make sure the children there are thriving. I feel they understand my child as an individual and she always has so much fun. She's excited to go into nursery and play with her friends. Just a really lovely little nursery and community.

My child recently switched to this Nurserys after school club and we have been really pleased with how easy the transition has been for him. The staff have spent time getting to know him and he loves the activities that are offered after school and in the school holidays.

As our journey at Pennies comes to an end I would like to thank three staff members in particular in the term time room at Newnham Court.

You have given my son a brilliant start in his education. He has enjoyed every second, learnt so much and flourished under your care.

My son is going to miss you all so much!

Thank you.

We have been very pleased our daughter has attended Pennies. She is now in the term time pre school room after starting when she was 2 years old. The term time pre school room staff are amazing. My daughter has been so happy with them and has really developed her confidence and grown in her character. Pennies is always clean and is a lovely environment. They have a lovely garden area with a mixture of different activities. I would definitely recommend Pennies to any parent!

Our daughter previously had a bad experience with her last nursery. We moved her to pennies a few years ago and she loves it and has really developed in all aspects. Her teachers are very caring and really give our child the care and attention she deserves. She feels safe and happy at the nursery and at the end of each day asks if she can go to nursery the following day which demonstrates how much she enjoys the nursery. Credit to all the staff they do a fantastic job.

Thank you so much to 3 staff members in particular :)
