Review of Play A Way Nursery & Preschool from Cassia L (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started in September 2025, he hated me leaving him which I found really difficult but the team were really reassuring and allowed extra settling in sessions. He settled in quickly and is now absolutely thriving! Today he even said 'more nursery'. He loves seeing his friends, they do so many fun activities and we get updated via the app which we love! My boy was an awful sleeper and would only nap on me but he naps brilliantly now on his own and that's all thanks to the staff. They have great facilities, it's very spacious and my son particularly loves the soft play and the garden! Everyone is so friendly and we couldn't be happier!

Review of Play A Way Day Care Centre from F O (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience with Play Away Nursery has been outstanding. From the 1st day our daughter settled in, she felt welcome and didn't want to leave. The staff are so accommodating to her needs and take their time to attend to Jojo. Tasha, the administrator, has been great in helping us book psychological assessments so we can settle into preschool in September.

We are so impressed with our experience and how Jojo has learnt to play with other children and socialise with her peers.

Thank you for such a lovely review it has been a great pleasure caring for her and please don't forget all of the hard work you both have also done. We will all miss her when she leaves :)

Me and my partner are very happy and pleased with the play away nursery that we send our son Blake to we've notice he is coming along in heaps and bounds and is thriving since being and attending the nursery too we are beyond happy and we really appreciate all the ladies that work at the nursery and who also work alongside and help Blake while he is there. We love getting feed back from the ladies about Blake and what he has been doing at nursery that day too.

Review of Play A Way Day Nursery from Sian H (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child started at Play away last November doing 2 days a week, she had an emotional couple of weeks as to be expected but all of the staff were so kind and welcoming to her, they comforted her when needed and helped to encourage her to join in with other children when she was ready. Very quickly she settled and she's been so happy to go each day! I love how she's built a secure relationship with her key worker in toddler room and looks forward to seeing her each week.
At the end of each day you're given lots of feedback on how your child's day was.
I love how this is a smaller and more intimate nursery so staff can focus on the children and their needs. They truly care about the children they look after and I'm so glad I chose this nursery!

Thank you Play A Way Stuart Road you're all fantastic!

Review of Play A Way Day Nursery from K B (Mother of Child) published on 31 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Play A Way is a wonderful setting each member of staff greet you with a warm smile and a friendly hello even if you they are not the main staff member in my daughters room they are aware of my daughter's name and greet her and myself. Management can't do enough when it comes to my child's needs and extra support is never an issue the communication is incredible staff are always happy to inform me about my daughters day and always know exactly what she has or hasn't eaten aswell as her needs through out her session .The nursery itself it's very clean, colourful , warm and most of all welcoming. The online app is amazing to see my daughter's progress aswell as pictures of her enjoying her time at nursery is a extra bonus it makes me feel part of her day being able to talk to her about her time at nursery. I can't recommend play A Way enough.

Review of Play A Way Day Nursery from Jessica C (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website
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.

Review of Play A Way Day Nursery from H M (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website
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!

Thank 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 :)

Review of Play A Way Day Nursery from Tamara W (Mother of Child) published on 17 December 2025 Submitted via Website
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.

Review of Play A Way Day Care Centre from S S (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website
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.

Review of Play A Way Day Care Centre from E C (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
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 Centre

Thank 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 :)

Review of Play A Way Nursery & Preschool from Chloe O (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2025 Submitted via Website
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.

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.
