Play A Way Nursery has been wonderful for my child. The staff are warm, patient, and genuinely care about the children. The environment is safe, nurturing, and full of fun learning opportunities. I've seen great progress in my child's confidence and social skills. Highly recommended for any parent looking

Overall Experience

My little girl started here in June when I returned to work, and she settled in so quickly. Every morning she runs straight in at drop-off and is completely comfortable with the staff. Everyone is so lovely and helpful. Jemma, the manager, is always quick to respond to any questions we have. I'm so

happy we found a nursery that is so responsive, clean, and well-managed. I've always felt at ease sending my little girl here, knowing she will receive the best care.

Reply from Jemma Hepburn, Manager at Play A Way Day NurseryThank you for a lovely review, we are so happy your daughter has settled well with us and we have really enjoyed watching her grow, develop and learn new things since being here :)

Overall Experience

Play a Way on Stuart Road is a wonderful nursery and I would thoroughly recommend it. The staff care for the children as if they were their own and really do their best to nurture each child. My children love going in each day and always come out happy. We have found the nursery to be supportive, caring,

good communication about the children's days, lovely selection of activities to stimulate the children and make each day enjoyable. The garden area is full of toys and activities and the kids love playing out. My eldest has learnt so much there and is always telling me about her day, what she has learnt and which member of staff she played with or took care of her. There are plenty of events like Christmas parties and sports days for the parents to feel involved and meet the staff. So happy we chose this nursery!

Reply from Jemma Hepburn, Manager at Play A Way Day NurseryThank you so much for this lovely review. We have loved watching both of your children grown and develop during their time so far with us :)

Overall Experience

Play away day nursery on Stuart Road Gillingham is absolutely lovely. The staff are professional yet friendly and approachable. The manager is absolutely amazing, she will always do her best to help solve any problems that you may encounter.

My daughter is in the baby room and they are just wonderful,

they take care of my baby and she is always happy. She literally lunges into their arms whenever she sees them.

I've been with this nursery now for almost 3.5 months, this is my first experience with any nursery and I can proudly say that I'm happy I chose this one to send my babygirl.

Thank you ladies for all that you do and continue to do for our kids, God bless you all.

Overall Experience

First thanks alot from all staffs at nursery for your hard working and kindness.My child always comes home with learning something new. The activities are being chosen for children is amazing and creative which is really really good for there learning process. I love that you often plan field visits

for children. My son is crazily love out door activities and being in the nature. More over the nursery always offer healthy foods and drinks for children which is amazing. Painting and plays sands are my son's favorite activities at nursery. My favorite part about nursery is that they put the photo and the activities they do during the day which gives me peace of mind. I have never trust to any one else to care my child at my hard moment but only nursery staffs. I know that my child feel happy while being at nursery and the member of nursery staffs knows almost much more of my child's like and dislike. At the end one again I appreciate your hard working and patience with my child.

Reply from Natasha Cave, Manager at Play A Way Day Care CentreThank you for such a lovely review, we are so glad that you feel so safe leaving your son here with us. It has been our pleasure caring for your child and we so happy with the progress he has made since coming here :)

Overall Experience

Play A Way has been a positive and reliable day care centre.
With both the staff and the nursery maintaining high standards my son has thrived within the last year.
He has successfully managed to say goodbye to nappies and is not potty trained.
He interacts, plays nicely and shares with other children.

I am always well-informed in regards to the nursery. Overall I feel positive with how things are being handled within the setting.

Reply from Natasha Cave, Manager at Play A Way Day Care CentreThank you for your review, we are so glad that we have met your expectations and that we was able to help your child with their potty training, making it a fun and stress free experience for him :)

Overall Experience

Playaway have been fantastic with my daughter and I am so happy with the Nursery. I was nervous about how my daughter would settle as she was always quite anxious about being left but she took it all in her stride and has absolutely thrived here.

The communication is excellent, the app is updated

regularly. The holiday club is an added bonus as my son can come in the holidays and he absolutely loves it and never wants to have to go back to school. Such nurturing environment for all ages and he is always kept entertained and involved.

The staff are all incredible and you can tell everyone genuinely cares about the children in their care. I honestly can't fault this nursery in any area and I'm so happy I chose it.

Reply from Zoe Gedling, Nursery Manager at Play A Way Nursery & PreschoolThank you for your lovely feedback. It is a pleasure having both your children here.

Fantastic place and highly recommended!
All of staff are very friendly and helpful. Our son started 1.5 years ago and he absolutely loves going there. He is getting ready to start reception next year while being well cared for and getting fantastic support. Tasha and the team creates warm and welcoming

environment, the kids have lots of fun every day. Tasha is well organised, creative and full of energy - always goes above and beyond! I particularly love that we are getting daily reports with photos - that is invaluable.
Thank you Tasha and all of your staff.

Overall Experience

I am more than delighted to have my son in play- away. The staff a warm, friendly and re assuring, when my husband and I were looking for nursery for our son this September we were looking for nursery that can provide the needs of our son and meet his target as a toddler to get him ready for preschool,

a place where he can build his confidence, an learn whilst having fun, amongst the options we heard we choose play-away, which we did not regret at all, we can see how much he's grown just this few months.His first day was mind blowing he came back home with so many words, it was a shock for me because he couldn't stop he went on and on every single day is a brand new day with singing, words and sentences, all this credits goes to the amazing & wonderful staffs, love the approach of teaching in cooperated rather than living them to explore, his previous school staffs were amazing but kids were left to explore and been curious in there little world. I must say keep up the excellent work.

Reply from Natasha Cave, Manager at Play A Way Day Care CentreThank you for this lovely review, I'm so glad that you put you trust in us with your son. It has been a pleasure watching him grow especially in such a short period of time :)

from Demi O (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son has been at the nursery for almost 2 years now and I couldn't be more pleased.

The staff are really friendly and make an effort to know each child as an individual. He's met all his milestones while attending nursery and while I do not attribute this solely to them, they have supported the

care and guidance he receives at home to ensure there is no regression while he is at nursery. This was notable so when he was being potty trained as he only got better even though he has nursery sessions in between.

We have another son who's just been born and we feel very confident to have him join the nursery as well soon.

Reply from Erica Edwards, Manager at Play A Way Activity CentreThank you so much for your lovely review, we are so glad you are happy with the care we provide, and look forward to taking care of your new son.

Overall Experience

The staff are always super accommodating and supportive,which as a first-time Mum is incredibly reassuring. I leave my baby girl in complete confidence that her needs are being met and she is safe. I've been particularly impressed at the fantastic communication by all staff. They share any concerns

but are equally happy to listen and answer any questions that I may have too.I cannot stress enough how much my child loves attending the nursery each and every day. She always mentions how much fun she has with both staff members and peers.
Thank you anyways for making my daughter feel right at home and allowing her to flourish. She has the best time there, and it's evident by how excited she is to go to nursery. Thank you for being her second family and for everything you have done and continue to do.
You ladies deserve all the credit for the amazing work you do!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a while and she is having the best experience, I was a bit worried changing her from child minder to nursery but the staff have been amazing and she has developed really well. My son attends the holiday club and absolutely loves it. Even with certain eating

difficulties he has, the staff have been so helpful and supportive.

This has been a great choice.

Overall Experience

Could not recommend this nursery enough. I am a very anxious parent and the teachers reassured me so much. They are so caring towards the children. My daughter settled in so well and I get updates when she is at the nursery to let me know what she is up to so it makes it so much easier for me to leave

her and go to work. She absolutely adores her teachers and they really do care about the children. She has learnt so much since being there. I have also recommended this nursery to my friends who have then signed up their children and they are also thriving here.
