Childs Play Nursery School Ltd

Our daughter just finished her two-year journey in Child's Play. Moving her to this nursery from another local nursery was the best decision we made. The nurturing staff's attention to detail and the high level of care they provided helped her grow her confidence immensely. In addition to the excellent activities they design in the nursery, they make each child feel truly special - they look at pictures parents share and talk about what they did during the weekends with the children, celebrate festivals from the children's cultures and even learn their home languages together. Communication with parents is excellent and we always feel well-informed. There are also multiple occasions for parents to be involved throughout the year, e.g. star of the week, and world book day, the teddy bears picnic. Thank you for everything!

Overall, the standard of care, learning opportunities, and environment at are outstanding. We couldn't ask for more and are so grateful to the whole team.

Our son has just finished his time at Childs Play. We cannot recommend this nursery enough - the staff go above and beyond! Every child thrives there. Our son started in 2022 barely speaking 15 words and he has left an extremely confident, happy chatterbox! Luckily our daughter has just started so we haven't had to say final byes just yet. 10/10 would recommend to anyone lucky enough to get in!

This, in my opinion, is the best part. The staff feel like family - they truly go above and beyond. They are caring, approachable, and always willing to help. Most importantly, they know how to spark curiosity and joy in the children. They really do make them happy!

The communication with parents is brilliant, too - I always feel included in what's happening and know our girls are in the best possible hands. We can't thank the Child's Play family enough for taking great care of our girls!

The staff are what makes this nursery so special. They are so caring and attentive to all the children's needs, including my daughter's milk and egg allergy. They really notice her development and have commented about her progress which is so lovely to hear. They do regular parents evenings and get to know each family very well, as well as each child. The level of effort the staff put in with the app updates is so appreciated. Well done to the managers and thank you for everything.

My daughter moved to this nursery when she turned two after friends recommended it. We could not be happier. The manager and the team are the best and my daughter comes home every day with tales of adventure and happiness. What more could you ask for. Can't wait until my other daughter turns two!

The most wonderful nursery. Our son has loved it there- they go the extra mile with lots of special activities for the children, watching caterpillars turn into butterflies, bringing other animals in, baking, a program of books to read at home, etc. A family feeling, nurturing environment. Nothing negative to say!

This is an exceptional nursery. The staff are extremely kind, dedicated, and caring. They know each child extremely well and facilitate individual development. The food is home-cooked and delicious and the menus are adventurous (my fussy little eater at home, will eat enthusiastically here). The children spend a lot of time outside, and also in planned activities, like science week. Random events like finding a wet bumble bee one day are turned into fun, learning experiences. The children are also encouraged to develop a sense of community, with regular visits to the Royal Star and Garter Home. They have some lovely nursery traditions, for example, every child bakes a cake on their birthday to share with all of their nursery friends. At Xmas, they bake gingerbread men. My child has grown and developed so much during the time she has been here and it is clear that she will be very well prepared when the time comes for her to starts school next year.

Honestly can't thank everyone enough at Child's Play.

The best nursery in the world. They are so caring, nurturing, patient, and kind here. My little girl has flourished under their care and grown so much in confidence. It's so wonderful and comforting knowing that she's in such excellent hands every day. They have a stellar reputation in the community and with current and former parents. I've never heard a negative thing about Childs Play and after having had a child with them for 2+ years, I can see why. Would highly recommend them!

Child's Play is the loveliest and most nurturing place. The manager and her team care deeply about every child who goes there. They consider every child's individual needs and strive to get the very best from every one of them, tailoring the approach and allowing the children the freedom to be happy. They have a lovely garden and the manager's love of nature is shared with the children. They grow vegetables, have rabbits, and watch caterpillars grow into butterflies and tadpoles into frogs. The manager's sister cooks wonderful fresh food every day which the children love so much, the recipes and food become famous in our households. They bake fresh cakes for everyone's birthdays which are absolutely delicious. There are small child to adult ratios meaning there are always enough adults to allow time for training or holidays. Child's play is so wonderful, they end up feeling like family.

It's a small nursery in the best way, would highly recommend it!

Our little girl has been there for 18 months now, and our little boy will be joining us next year. It's a truly special nursery and any family joining is incredibly lucky.

The nursery staff created a supportive environment tailored to her needs. They introduced a timer so she could have quiet time when needed and allowed her to wear headphones to manage sensory overload. These thoughtful accommodations have made a world of difference for her.

They prepare the kids for school and have happy last days, which somehow manages to turn leaving into a happy event. The individual attention is outstanding. The best nursery in the world.

My husband and I would like to express our delight with this nursery. We are extremely satisfied so far with the upmost level of compassionate care they give our 2 year old son. He only attends twice a week and only started a month ago, but already we are seeing developments within him and we love watching his confidence build up over time. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and you can tell that all the children love it there. When we drop our son off in the mornings, there are always two to three little friends waiting at the door to welcome him in, the "welcome committee"! We have a messaging group for all the parents and it's a joy to meet and chat with them regularly. We couldn't be happier with this choice of nursery, it really feels like a home away from home and as it's quite a small nursery it really feels that your child gets the attention they require especially if upset or anxious. I am going to keep recommending Childs Play to everyone I meet! Thank you Childs Play Nursery School Ltd.

If you are looking for a small, home away from home setting then do not hesitate. At Childs Play your child is part of the family.

We feel so privileged to have had our son to experience the outstanding childcare provided by the staff at Child’s Play Surbiton. This is a small nursery with the most personable possible service, my son had experienced a couple of other nurseries in the area before this one but Child’s Play is just in a different league. The staff are beyond exceptional, the food is cooked on site by the adorable chef, you feel they really care for your child and the nursery facilities are so modern and educational. Our son had yoga, French, dance sessions. The Manager carries years of experience and she drives the business to consistent excellence. I have heard from many parents that Child’s Play is the best nursery in Surbiton, which justifies the waiting list, but be patient as the waiting is well worthy! Child’s Play has prepared my August born son to primary school, he has now started Reception and from day 1 was boosting with confidence. Thanks to the Manager and the Team.

Childs Play Nursery School Ltd is the most amazing nursery, it's a true gem and we feel very lucky and grateful our daughter was able to be part of the family that Childs Play is. The care and nurturing of the children goes far beyond the expectations of a nursery. There is a genuine love and passion to help the children grow and learn about the wonderful world they live in. For example: in the build-up to Christmas the children made gingerbread men that ran away before being caught to see the world and send a postcard from every destination they visited before returning back to the children in time for Christmas. Such a magical way for the children to learn about different places in the world. The children wrote to the zoo to send them a pet and the zoo did reply in great length and sent the children the perfect pet. The list goes on, not to mention the amazing garden the children spend so much time in. It's been such a wonderful experience and really helped to build our daughter's confidence.
