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!

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!

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.

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.

Our daughter started nursery not long after turning 1, she is now nearly 2.5 and we are still so pleased that we chose Pennies. She seems to really enjoy her time at nursery, and we have witnessed her grow in confidence while being there despite being very shy. All of the staff are friendly and take
the time to learn your child's name etc despite working in different rooms. While our daughter is now moving up to her next room which i'm sure she will equally enjoy, i'd like to give a special mention to the Ladybird Lodge and the lovely girls that work in there. They've created the most cosy room with a really homely feeling - i'd be very happy to spend the day there! Our youngest will be starting in a few months time and we're sure that she will also be very happy at Hockers Lane.

My child has been attending since November and he has grown to love it so much! Starting off at nursery was hard on him and myself but I knew he was in excellent hands. The staff are amazing and have been working there for years they made us feel so assured. He loves going now, drop offs are still challenging
but by the end of the day he is happy and playing! He comes home with having excellent meals and snack, wonderfully creative messy play, loads of outdoor time and crafts!

My son has been attending PKC/holiday club for nearly 3 years and the ladies that look after him are outstanding. His confidence has come on so much because of them, he eats different foods and really has come out of his shell. My son is well looked after whilst in their care and I can't thank them
enough. I also cannot recommend PKC enough. Always go above and beyond for the children.
