Pitta Patta Day Nursery

My 3 children all have attended Pitta Patta Day Nursery. They have had great experiences and fully enjoyed the natural environment such as playing with rabbits, birds, chickens and gerbils. They really enjoyed the company of the nursery dog. A big thank you to all the staff for all their hard work. A special bonus having access to the nursery camera.

Pitta Patta is a fantastic nursery, the staff show genuine kindness and care to each and every child. The facilities for children are really good and the garden provides valuable outdoor space. The nursery strives to deliver an ever-changing and inventive programme of activity.

Our only small issue is the 72-hour rule, which can be difficult to manage, but other than that, we love Pitta Patta.

Pitta Patta Day Nursery has been such a wonderful place for my little one to grow and thrive.

Pitta Patta is a friendly caring and nurturing environment that places a focus on YFES in a fun and accessible way. We are very happy that our son enjoys nursery and we had no hesitation in signing our daughter up as well. Thank you.

I am thrilled with my choice of enrolling my daughters in this nursery. Their progress and learning have surpassed my expectations. The beautiful natural garden with its animals has been a fantastic environment for them, and the extra-curricular activities like piano, drama, yoga, and sports have greatly enriched their education. It has been a truly positive experience for our family.

Thank you!

They use a nanny cam, initially I wasn’t keen on the idea of one, but it’s actually a really effective way of checking in (which I do occasionally if my son has had a bad morning or night) without having to call or email in. We get verbal updates (food eaten, activities) at the end of each day and a few minutes with their key staff if we have any questions too which is helpful (even for planning dinner).

No nursery is perfect but overall we’re very happy with the care and service Pitta Patta provide.

The accounting was also very poor, I was always being overcharged or confused with other parents! Overall it just felt very unorganised and like management had no idea what was going on.

Good facilities but sadly dreadful management. There are some great staff at Pitta Patta but the retention rate is the worst of any organization I have known. On average I'd say a manager stays for less than 5 months, we have heard unpleasant rumors from previous staff members as to why this is. The owner of the nursery has displayed shocking levels of incompetency, most recently with a situation around my daughter's last day where despite dates being shared in writing with both of us and we were informed with a day's notice that the owner had brought this date forward without telling anyone! We have witnessed endless admin issues, last 3 months we have been incorrectly billed and sent other parents' financial statements (along with their personal information). The most frustrating issue is with their 'top up' fees associated with free child care hours (£260 a month). Having contacted the council, they've informed us that these fees are against their rules and action will be taken.

As a mother, I always believe you must go with your gut instincts and that's exactly what I did. This nursery is heaven sent a blessing. My daughter started a few months ago and is thriving and has settled so well. The staff are all amazing especially my daughter's key person. Having qualified teachers in the pre-school is a bonus and a rarity in most nurseries.

There is also an amazing outdoor space which my daughter loves...............the mud kitchen is such an adventure for her and she tells me about all the mud pies she bakes. :)

No complaints so far. My son has been in nursery for the last 10 months. He enjoys coming to nursery where he is provided with lots of stimulating activities and safe environment. Communication with nursery is easy via email and phone calls when needed. Management obviously invest in upkeep of the property and equipment. They have their own chef and the food seems excellent.
