Our daughter has been with Play B C since April and has been having a wonderful time since joining. It took her some time to settle in but the staff were so reassuring and proactive in trying to help her transition and provided us with regular updates throughout the day which was great. All the staff are lovely and make such an effort to ensure the children are having a good time. Our daughter loved participating in this year's Sports Day and there are so many lovely events planned throughout the year to look forward to.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Play B C to any prospective parents, it's a really lovely nursery and we're so pleased to have found it.

Ah thank you so much. It was a bit of a journey for her at first, but it is lovely to see her so settled now and growing in confidence now.

Highly recommend Play BC. From the day my son started in 2024, he has really enjoyed every single day spent at Play BC. Was shown around both settings and both I felt suited my son's needs. My son has delayed speech and from the day he first started has received a little extra support. This being said has be carefully tailored around my son's needs and has really built such fun relationships with all staff members. The activities and fun days which also involve parents/carers also give this pre school such a personal touch. My son will sure miss Play BC as he leaves this year to start reception. Honestly, big thanks to all that have made my sons pre school journey fun.
Look no further for a pre school for your little one! You will be made so welcome

We have loved having your son at our Carshalton preschool and will miss him when he leaves us and embarks on his next learning adventure at school.

Choosing a nursery for your child is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make, and I can honestly say this nursery has been nothing short of incredible. This is now my second child to attend, which speaks volumes about the trust and confidence I have in the whole team. My eldest absolutely thrived here and is now happily at primary school, and my youngest has had the same wonderful experience.
The staff truly know my child so well as an individual. They understand his personality, his needs, and what makes him happy, and that level of care means everything to me as a parent. I trust them completely with my child, which is something very special and not easy to find.
His key teacher has been absolutely fantastic - caring, supportive, attentive, and genuinely invested in his development and happiness. However, every single staff member is friendly, welcoming, and always so helpful. You can feel how much they genuinely care about all of the children.
The nursery has created such.

Ah thank you so much, that's made me feel quite emotional. Means so much to hear such positive words. We have loved having both of your boys and watching their different characters develop. Been an honour.

Our son started attending Play B C in January 25. His big sister attended before him. Our son has additional needs and we were very anxious about leaving him. Play BC staff were so attentive, they spent lots of time finding out what our son liked and how best to care for him. They made sure familiar staff were available to him when he attended. This really helped him settle much quicker than we could have hoped for. He has now completed 4 terms at pre school and thanks to pre school we have a much clearer idea if his needs which Will help him immeasurably when he leave pre school later this term. Our son is always keen to go to pre school- a big smile on his face telling me he is going to play with 'Mrs B'.
Pre school has challenged him but have also given him space when needed. His talking has come so far in the last year, he now joins in teacher time and completes his individual learning. We are so grateful. Thank you Play BC.

Thank you so much. It has been our pleasure working with you and both of your children.
We know it wasn't an easy decision for you to start your son at preschool and we really appreciate your trust in us. We have loved seeing his confidence grow and his personality come to the fore, in the time that he has been with us. We will really miss him next year.
We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our family has had with PlayBC Preschool Carshalton.

We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our family has had with PlayBC Preschool Carshalton.
The preschool provides such a warm, caring, and nurturing environment, and the staff are truly amazing-kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the children. It has been beautiful to see how much our son has grown in confidence, independence, and curiosity during his time there.
The activities are creative, engaging, and perfectly balanced between learning and play. Communication with parents has always been great, and we always felt reassured that our son was happy, safe, and well cared for.
PlayBC has given him a fantastic start to his learning journey, and we couldn't recommend it more highly to other families. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do!

We are extremely happy with this Play BC PreSchool and the care it provides. The child care is excellent, with great attention in every aspect of a child's routine and learning. The school offers extra activities that help in overall development, along with enjoyable garden time that my child truly look forward to. Nutritious and well-planned food is provided, which gives us great peace of mind.
What touches us most is the huge impact the staff has on our child's spirit. The environment is so nurturing that our child often comes home and pretends to be a staff member, tenderly taking care of her dollies just like her teacher take care of her. Seeing her model that same kindness at home is greatest testament to the positive environment they create. The staff is extremely caring and supportive, even during difficult times, ensuring our child feels emotionally secure and confident. We regularly receive detailed feedback on our child's progress.
Highly recommended this nursery!

This Preschool was the best school I sent my daughter too. The staff are amazing and really supportive and helpful. They brought my daughter out of her shell and brought her to a place where she is ready for Primary school, we are sad to be leaving such a great setting and would recommend to anyone.

Play B C is awesome!
My eldest attended September 21 to July 23. She grew and developed enormously over her time at pre school. Staff were always caring and put a strong emphasis on building relationships which was perfect for my daughter. She still sees staff around in the community and it is always a very happy reunion. My daughter had a couple of things she needed some support with. Staff were proactive and put in place what was needed. She was super reception ready and is flying at school. My son started in February 25 and still attends now. My son has additional needs and if it wasn't for the caring concern of staff I wouldn't have had the courage to leave him. I was given so much reassurance, staff (especially two staff members) have taken so much care to ensure his transition to pre school went well - taking time to get to know him. We have been supported as a family to start getting the right long term support in place for him.
I can't recommend Play BC enough!

Ah we appreciate you so much! It has been a pleasure having both the children and your trust means a lot to us, especially this time around as I know it hasn't been easy for you to leave your son - thank you for your continued support.
Play BC Preschool has been a wonderful experience for our son. The teachers are caring, the environment is safe and fun, and he's grown so much socially and emotionally. Highly recommend to any family!

On his days off and even weekends he'll always ask to go in to see his friends and teachers. This really does go to show how truly amazing all the staff are, they've made him feel so safe, loved and take interest in all aspects of his home life and education. I can not recommend PlayBC enough.
We are truly lucky to have found such a one in a million outstanding nursery.

He previously refused or had to be collected early from a previous preschool as unable to manage his emotions but he is keen and eager to attend.and making progress and the most important of all he is happy.

Perfect, tight-knit preschool where all the teachers genuinely care about the children. My daughter initially attended two preschools but we moved her solely to Play B C because she clearly loved the teachers and the setting much more. We were so impressed that we also enrolled my son this year-he's settled in wonderfully and is thriving. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much! We love having both of your children with us and it has been delightful to see them grow.
Daughter has been there for 2 years now and the progress she has made under the nursery is amazing, from day to day activities, progressing in to being a big sister, her numbers and letters and general learning. I see changes and progression every week.
And will be sending my younger son there.

They helped her so much when she was about to become a big sister by reading her stories about the transitions and getting her to play with babies alot which she loved. Her vocabulary is remarkable for a 3 year old girl. She has a great relationship with all the teachers especially her keyworker!

Great preschool. Very person centred and adaptations made according to the childrens' needs . As a parent, always kept in the loop about our child's needs and what has been happening throughout the day. The preschool always organise events which encourages parent involvement and these are events the children always look forward to. My child has been at the preschool for a year now and has grown across the board and I've no doubt this is due to the care and education he has received. Thank you Play BC!
