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.

Fantastic nursery and staff - They've really helped our son develop with a wide range of activities and trips, all documented and we're kept up to date with great communication through the app. Our son always comes home and tell us what he's been up to with Miss Sarah and the others, I would highly

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.

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

Amazing nursery with such a warm and loving atmosphere.
My little boy always goes in with a big smile. His face lights up when he see's the staff who are absolutely brilliant.
All the staff genuinely care for the children and right from the day i looked around the nursery they've shown this.
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!
