Since my daughter has started at Play Pals her confidence has grown massively! She is so happy here and loves that she has a large variety of things to play with and lots of different areas to learn and explore. All the staff here are so lovely, friendly and supportive!

Our little girl absolutely loves her days at Play Pals, from playing, crafting & days out she always looks forward to coming. From a parents point of view they put our minds at rest straight away that she was coming to the right place. She starts school in September and this is a great precursor to

Really friendly staff and very supportive.
They celebrate special events, inviting parents/carers to come and join them with stay and play days. Really thorough during change over, explaining what my child has been doing during her session. Daily updates on the app, showing what my child has been playing
with and what she has been learning. Highly recommended.

Fantastic nursery setting with a real family feel to it. The girls go above and beyond in the care that is provided. The nursery setting is always creative, fun with lots to do play and learn. The team take great pride in everything they do and it reflects in the education of the children. It's clean
warm and welcoming and has a great sense of community! Well being at the nursery is paramount & the team are there for children & the parents too. Plenty of activities, days out, outside play everything to keep little minds active.
The girls really do make learning fun with phonics and books of the week and a weekly newsletter to keep parents updated you can feel an tell that learning is lots of fun but most importantly that your child is cared for and valued.

I can't say enough good things about Playpals. Our son has been attending for six months and absolutely loves it. He asks every day if it's a "pre school day". It's been amazing to see how much he's learnt in such a short time, particularly with literacy and phonics. The staff are professional, organised,
and they've built a lovely bond with him. Every week they do different activities, including walks to the local library, science experiments, and visits from members of the community. Seeing him excited to go in every morning makes us feel very confident in the care he's receiving.

Our son absolutely loves going to this nursery. He is always enthusiastic to share what he has been learning about and the different activities and trips he has enjoyed each day. His confidence in himself, working independently and as part of a team has developed phenomenally. The staff are friendly,
approachable, supportive and nurturing. The communication via the app is remarkable. My favourite part of each day is checking the app to see what my son and his little class buddies have been up to. Our son loves the outdoors and the outdoor continuous provision is exceptional. We are only halfway through this academic year and our son has made amazing progress. I cannot wait to see what else our son achieves in his remaining time in nursery.

Wonderful nursery, with fantastic staff.
My grandson's confidence has grown so much since starting with playpals, and it's most certainly down to the love and care he receives from all the staff.
He goes in with a big smile on his face every time!
Everyone is approachable and always happy to help
in any way they can.
I highly recommend playpals, it's just an all round fantastic nursery, with amazing staff.

My grandson started Play Pals in September 25 when it first opened. He settled in straight away and loves attending. The staff are very friendly and informative at both drop off and pick up. They do lots of fun activities inside and out including trips to the library, parks and even took home made flowers
and chocolates to the hospice. They are also involved with the school and go to church with them for school performances. I think his parents made the best decision when they chose this nursery and would 100% recommend it.

My son absolutely loves St Peter's Playpals. He moved here in sept 25 after being at his previous nursery since he was 8 months old so we was very nervous about the transition. I had absolutely nothing to worry about. He has settled in so well and loves coming to nursery. The staff are amazing. They
have lots of fun trips out which the children love and the communication with parents is excellent. They provide updates daily and post lots of pictures of what they've been up too. His speech has improved so much in the 6 months he has been there and this is all down to the nursery staff and the activities they do with them. I would definitely recommend this nursery to any parents who are looking.

Our daughter loves going to pre-school at Paypals and often asks to go on additional days. She settled in immediately and we have been very happy with the support and communication from the staff. In her first term they have provided a huge range of learning experiences and had numerous trips out and
regular outdoor play. It is lovely to hear her talk about the fun things that she has done and look at the pictures and videos which are regularly updated on the app. I don't feel that we could ask for anymore from a pre school setting and we are very appreciative to the staff for providing such a lovely environment.

My daughter started PlayPals in September 2026. It is the best decision I have ever made, enrolling my child to this nursery. All the staff have built amazing relationships with my daughter and she absolutely loves going there. She has come on leaps and bounds and her development is amazing to see.
You can see the genuine love the staff have for these children.

My daughter started playpals in hindley green April last year and has thrived since starting.
My daughter runs on in with a big smile on her face.
The app they use is always updated and it's great to see a varied menu that is given. My daughter eats like a queen there.
The staff and management
are amazing. They care for every single child and always give us information.
My eldest daughter is 7 and used to attend this nursery and it was amazing then. It still is amazing now.
Wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

Both of my boys have attended playpal and they continuously prove they are the best around, always working around busy schedules and very flexible. I always recommend playpals to everyone. My oldest has been attending since he was 6 months old and my youngest 5 months old. They both smile as soon as
they see the girls, its amazing to see they are so happy upon dropping off. They help along with weaning and potty training and I couldn't have done any of it without them

I am so incredibly grateful that my son got a place in this nursery in September. This fantastic, brand new facility arrived just in time for us. My son has been in nursery daycare part time in another setting since he was just a few months old. His previous setting was very nurturing but I was keen
to move my son to prepare him for school. Wow did I make the right decision! Daycare nursery providers are very good at what they do in terms of offering babies and toddlers loving care but St. Peter's Nursery provides such a clear, bespoke and cleverly planned out coherent curriculum for three and four year olds that just blows you away! All whilst ensuring the pre schoolers feel safe, comfortable, confident, cared for and cherished. I feel like I have known my son's nursery teachers for a lifetime but in fact it is only a matter of 5 months. It seems cheesy to say, but they really are like a little family. My son has made little mates for life. It is a truly amazing group of children.
