A big shout out to playpals at st peters school.We love the nursery our grandson has been here since September 2025.He as grown and developed really well we see his progress every day we pick him up.The staff are very caring and responsive and give timely feedback to his parents has well as his grandparents.His
parents wanted somewhere were he would be safe and cared for while out at work and playpals made them confident that he would be.If we or his parents have any concerns the staff are always welcoming to receive advice and suggestions to improve or provide additional caring.We as grandparents enjoy dropping our grandson off and picking him up four times a week playpals has that family feel in it. Keep it up

They
really take the time to get to know the children, including the staff at a managerial level which i think is lovely. There communication and support is excellent.
They're always doing little activities which you can then see on the app. Along with their meals, naps, nappy changing etc.

when picking up my son there is always a hand over of how he has been, what he has eaten, which is appreciated as my son struggles with this.
I highly recommend this nursery, it really does stand out from all the other nurseries i looked around.
A massive thank you to all the staff! it makes going back to work so much easier knowing your little one is happy and content

PlayPals is a wonderful nursery! My daughter loves going there and all the staff are so lovely and really care for all the children. They are very proactive on the app as they regularly post updates on activities the little ones are up to and are very quick to respond to any messages. I would recommend
them to any expectant parents without hesitation. Thanks for everything you do!

My son is currently attending Playpals and loves going. My other son also previously attended before starting school. Staff are brilliant, they are always really approachable and provide a handover each day of what the children have been learning. They have different topics each week with new key words
each day and the children do lots of different activities around those words/topics. Overall fantastic nursery and would highly recommend.

Excellent staff, my child feels at ease coming to school weekly with all the support she receives. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting PlayPals last September 2024. My child has a lovely relationship with both her friends and PlayPals staff. We receive good communication on any progress
that's being made and feel reassured on days where my child maybe unsettled due to medical experience. Thank you to all for giving us such a positive experience.

I'm very pleased with the work of the ladies in the nursery. Children learn new things every day. The ladies in the nursery are positive about their work, they are caring, they take care of each child and their needs. My daughter comes back from the nursery happy every day and can't wait for the next
day. Communication with the ladies is perfect, I highly recommend PlayPals.

A fantastic place for your little one, the structure of the nursery works great for our little girl, she has come out of her shell and become more confident in the very short period she has been attending, and the staff are lovely and helpful. We looked at several other options before visiting here
and we were made to feel welcome from the start. Highly recommend.

As a grandparent of a child who goes to Playpals Childcare I am astounded by how much my granddaughter has achieved and accomplished here. Her vocabulary and motor skills have improved a lot. She's more confident, she's learning to share and play with other children. The Playpals staff are an amazing
credit to the school and children. I'd recommend this schools nursery to anyone who wants the child to be in a stable learning environment with amazing caring teachers.

My child absolutely adores attending PlayPals Childcare and is thriving. I have noticed the progress they have made since starting at PlayPals especially in their speech development and social development. The staff are so warm, nurturing and caring and always have time for you. The learning environment
is always well set up, calm and enriching. They do so much with the children both in the classroom and in the community, I love seeing all of the updates on Famly. I could not recommend PlayPals highly enough. A fabulous setting.
