Brilliant nursery.
My little girl can be quite shy and more focused on adult interaction but Pennies have been brilliant for supporting this. Their very focused on how they can maximise the nursery experience specifically for your little one, and I've seen nothing but positive things (especially in
terms of social interactions), since my little girl started a year ago.
We wouldn't attend anywhere different. All the staff are so friendly and brilliant, meals are lovely and varied and activities and outside time is very interactive and encouraged.
Thank you for all of your hard work ladies!

Pennies has been a lovely place for my grandchildren to be looked after for the past few years now. The care, enrichment, learning and engagement for the children is apparent in helping them to grow, form friendships and communicate for future skills building.
They enjoy the meal times and the food

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

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.

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.

After my first daughter going to Pennies, there was no hesitation what so ever in having my second daughter at Pennies too.
All of the team at Pennies make you feel so welcome, it's like home from home for my daughters.
At the end of each day I get a summary of my daughters day, what's she's eaten
and they also focus on the same things you might be working on at home, such as potty training.
Highly recommended. Thank you

My two children have attended Pennies since they were babies. They're now both at school, so have moved onto Pennies Kids Club. They both thoroughly enjoy their days at PKC, the days are jam packed with activities and they also spend a lot of time outdoors. The trip days are good fun too, my kids absolutely
love their adventure of going out for the day with their PKC chums! The PKC staff are great fun, and kids from all age groups just and entertained all day. Great value for money too for a whole day's childcare and no packed lunches to make! Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Once it was time for my little one to start Nursery, choosing which Nursery she attended was easy!
Having friends and relatives with little ones who attended Pennies (both the Hockers Lane and the Newnham Court sites) I was inundated with positive comments, messages and referrals, all speaking so highly
for Pennies and the lovely staff that work there!
Since my little one joined, she has grown in confidence as the weeks have passed. She now speaks excitedly of her key workers at home and, after a few weeks/months of settling into her new routine, she now goes into Nursery with a smile on her face, which has been a welcome comfort for my partner and me.
We have never doubted the care she's received and feel confident in knowing and trusting that she is well looked after.
We are grateful that she has started her school/learning journey at Pennies and look forward to watching her reach new milestones and gain new achievements.
