Playhouse is a really wonderful, family run and orientated nursery. They have provided truly loving and considerate care for our little boy, thanks to their dedicated and loving teaching staff and management team. Playhouse has a genuine "home away from home" feel which really sets them apart from other nursery care providers, but they are also professional, well organised and very much go the extra mile to ensure the children are happy, fulfilled and that they flourish developmentally. The nursery is well equipped with ample outdoor facilities and Montessori activities, regular updates are provided throughout the day (albeit their focus on face to face communication is something which is a great asset and makes for much more meaningful relationship building) and they also make the most of the local surroundings with park trips and occasional excursions. We would highly recommend Playhouse and thank them for their really wonderful care.
After chatting with parents whose kids went to other nurseries, we really felt a difference here. The kids at Playhouse just seemed to get so much more attention and care. Plus, the staff looked like they absolutely loved what they were doing, which made it a breeze for our daughter to settle in. She loved every single moment she was there. All in all, top-notch!
Big thanks to Miss Zainab and the entire team at Playhouse for the care, support, and kindness you have shown during my son's time at the nursery. He has truly enjoyed being part of the setting, and we are very grateful for the positive start you have given him! We will certainly miss all the teachers and I know he will too.
I'm grateful to Playhouse Nursery for giving him such a positive start to his learning journey. The managemnet and the whole team was supportive throughout. Highly recommended.
From the very beginning, the settling-in process was handled with care and sensitivity. The staff took the time to get to know each of my children individually, which made the transition from home to nursery much smoother. It was clear early on that the team understands how important those first few weeks are for both children and parents. Their warm and welcoming approach helped build trust quickly, and that positive relationship has continued ever since.
One of the things that has stood out most to me is how bright and well-mannered the children are.
Why we love it:
The Staff: The team is incredibly warm and attentive. They truly know my boy personalities and go above and beyond to make him feel safe and excited to learn.
The Environment: The facilities are always clean, bright, and filled with engaging activities.
Communication: We always feel updated on their progress and daily routines, which gives me such peace of mind throughout the work day.
Brotherly Bond: The nursery has been wonderful at helping my boy settle in together while still supporting their individual growth.
We've had such a positive experience with Playhouse Montessori Nursery, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly supportive, especially in helping us access additional support for my daughter, who is autistic. Their understanding, patience, and proactive approach have made a huge difference to us as a family.
The team consistently keeps us updated on her development, which is so reassuring. They take the time to share progress, celebrate achievements, and discuss any areas where extra support might help. It really feels like they are invested in her wellbeing and growth.
Our daughter previously attended another local nursery where, unfortunately, we didn't receive the level of support we needed. Moving to this nursery has been a breath of fresh air. The difference in communication, care, and genuine support is remarkable.
We're so grateful to have found such a nurturing and attentive environment for our child.
Our 2-year-old has blossomed since starting here. The Montessori approach is beautifully implemented, encouraging independence, confidence, and curiosity in a way that feels completely natural for toddlers.
The staff are exceptional - caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's development.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommend !!
The staff are exceptionally professional, caring, and knowledgeable, creating an environment where she feels both safe and challenged. Thanks to their guidance, she has become a confident, independent, and articulate communicator. I couldn't be happier with the support she receives, Highly recommended
After my daughter raised a safeguarding concern, both of my grandsons' places were terminated despite no prior complaints. The timing is deeply troubling.
Ofsted has since identified failures in allergy management and leadership oversight. The nursery also refused to provide public liability insurance details when requested.
Parents should read the latest Ofsted report and think carefully before enrolling their children here.
Despite my son having a known, documented allergy that I had communicated verbally, in writing, & on their app, he was still given a very serious allergen, as a result my son became unwell, and required medical advice.
Allergy records were not updated in ANY classrooms & not all staff were allergy trained, demonstrating poor management and unsafe practice.
Instead of taking responsibility, the nursery TERMINATED both of my children's places because of their mistake at very short notice after I raised safeguarding concerns, which felt retaliatory and left me without childcare.
This caused significant distress to my children and serious disruption to my work. This matter has been formally reported to Ofsted and other governing bodies.
Parents should think VERY VERY carefully before entrusting their children to this setting.
They will punish you for speaking up!
We have reported this matter to our regulating bodies and have worked closely with them throughout. The nursery has put additional measures...
The teachers are wonderful - attentive, patient, and genuinely devoted to the children. This is a place where children are not only taught, but truly loved.
We are leaving the nursery only because of our relocation, and we do so with great sadness and deep gratitude. Thank you for the happy memories, warm atmosphere, and positive impact you have had on our child's development. We would highly recommend this nursery to any family.
Playhouse Nursery has been absolutely wonderful for my daughter, Ariana. The staff are so caring, patient, and loving, and they truly treat every child like their own. From the moment she started, she settled in beautifully and always came home happy, confident, and excited about her day. The team are very professional, supportive, and always keep parents informed, which gave me great peace of mind. I am so grateful for the warm, safe, and nurturing environment they provided for my daughter. She has learned so much and built lovely friendships. We will truly miss the amazing staff and children, and I would highly recommend Playhouse Nursery to any parent looking for exceptional care for their child.
The communication with parents is excellent, and the environment is safe, clean, and full of engaging activities. I'm very grateful for the love and support my son receives every day. Highly recommended!
I do not know where to begin with how amazing this nursery is. It is so well managed by the leadership team and all staff members. The communication between nursery and parents is fantastic. My son has been going to this nursery for two years now and his communication and confidence has grown significantly by the support of all the staff at Playhouse Montessori. My son had very limited vocabulary when he first began and is now thriving. I was also struggling with potty training and staff members took it upon themselves to help me and he's now fully trained. The management are so incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. I honestly do not know how I would've coped these last few years if I had not found such a wonderful nursery. I highly recommend if you're looking for well trained staff and a fantastic environment for your child to grow. Safeguarding is also a high priority which I immensely appreciate.
communication is excellent. I am also very impressed with how much they learn - my son was so well prepared for school with regards to phonics and maths. He loves school but still talks about how much he misses nursery! I really couldn't recommend Playhouse Montessori more; it's such a nurturing and fun starting point for children.
We absolutely love this nursery! It's always very well-maintained, which gave us peace of mind from day one. The staff are friendly and care about the children. They do an amazing job teaching and engaging the kids with fun and educational activities every day. Our child has learned so much and looks forward to going every morning now. You can really tell the team puts a lot of effort into creating a safe and happy environment. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great place for their little one!
We got recommended this nursery from a friend as her granddaughter attends there and after visiting a few nurseries we straight away knew this was the best one for our son. All the teachers and staff are so welcoming and take great care of all the children like their own, after few months of my son going there, he has learnt soo much, he loves going.
This is a family nursery, 4 nephews and niece's have been through this nursery and now my son. We as a family would choose no other montessori. They are kind, considerate and ace at their job! I was pregnant with my second son when my first joined and the care and consideration shown by one of the staff and the staff was unmatched , which is something so unexpected from an education institution! My son absolutely loves going nursery which in itself says a lot, because he is cared for with utmost attention. He has fun, learns and teaches us when he comes home haha. This nursery does a fantastic job and I hope they continue for many many many years to come! Thank you Playhouse you are the best in everyway.
