Overall Experience

Play 2 Learn Bedford is an outstanding nursery. My daughter has only been there a couple of months but absolutely loves it. She has developed so much and she also eats very well. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone worried about sending their child.

Overall Experience

We’ve moved our son over from our local nursery after having some concerns over his well-being there and I’m so pleased we did - he has loved every second, he settled in quickly thanks to the amazing staff! We never had any issues since he moved - not only does the staff keep in touch via regular updates but you also get to speak to everyone face to face at a parent evening. The facilities are amazing with a newly refurbished garden. I couldn’t recommend Play2Learn enough!

Overall Experience

The staff are so friendly and always take time with pick/drop-offs. The new refurb is so clean, modern and safe, the garden looks super fun! My son enjoys coming to nursery and doing various activities throughout the day. The app is great as it keeps you updated throughout the day and receives daily pictures. Would definitely recommend this nursery. The staff do an amazing job.

Review from Samantha M (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We moved our son here from a local nursery after hearing such wonderful things about Play 2 Learn. We were nervous at first, as we were worried about him settling in again into a new setting. The experience we had was exceptional. The team are highly qualified, the nursery is very clean with fantastic facilities, and there is so much outdoor space for the children. Although my son only had 1 year with Play 2 Learn, he came on leaps and bounds in that time. I just wish I found the nursery sooner! It was worth every penny and my son thrived at school thanks to the care he received. I am pregnant with my second child, and cannot wait for her to have the same experience at Play 2 Learn.

Review from Paula F (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter is very sensitive and she struggled a lot in her previous setting so we were naturally nervous when she started at Play 2 Learn. She loves it here! She was completely settled in after a few days. I don’t even look at the app anymore during the day, because I know she is safe and happy and getting lots of cuddles. All the staff are so friendly and easy to talk to, especially one staff member in particular. They have also been very accommodating with all our requests. I can’t recommend them enough!

Review from K P (Father of Child) published on 31 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has absolutely loved his time at Play 2 Learn. The team are fantastic and they take the time to get to know you as a family, make you feel welcome and answer any and all questions you have! Feedback at collection times is thorough and never rushed, they are happy to talk to you and even invite you in for a coffee if you need any advice (for me, it was potty training tips). They organise parent events where the manager talks in depth about the curriculum and what we can do as parents to support our child's learning at home. They offer lots of activities including Spanish classes. We receive lots of useful updates over the app. Thank you Play 2 Learn for taking such great care of my child.

Overall Experience

We have had a brilliant experience at this nursery. We needed to move quickly from our previous setting and since then, nothing has been too much trouble for them. We have felt supported and the difference in my little boy is amazing. The facilities are great and all staff members are helpful and engaging.

Overall Experience

When we found Play 2 Learn, we were delighted. The nursery is honestly amazing. After viewing five nurseries, we fell in love with Play 2 Learn. The team are warm, caring, and supportive. My daughter has thrived and come along so well. She is prepared well for her move to Big School. We cannot thank the nursery enough for all they have done. We are sad to leave!

Overall Experience

The nursery is just amazing. We were waiting for a space here as they were having a refurbishment. The jungle gym is incredible. My son loves spending time in here and is always so happy. My son loves the new art studio and always brings home lovely paintings for us. The team are so welcoming and they have so much to offer - Spanish classes, sensory classes and so much more. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new, state-of-the-art nursery for their child.

Play 2 Learn is a fantastic nursery, and my child has loved every moment here. She always comes back smiling and telling us something new she has learned that day. The care is excellent, and I knew my little girl was always safe and well looked after.

Review from Amanda M (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my girls have attended The Haven 2000 over the last 6 years. My eldest left a very confident girl and had a great start to her school life with her preschool experience and phonics. When we move house later this year, we will miss the staff and managers who have seen our girls grow and blossom there.

Review from Jennifer G (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter is just about to leave for school. She is going to leave the Haven as a confident and well spoken four-year-old. This is down to the fantastic and never-ending work of the practitioners here, and all the projects aimed to improve children's educational and social attainment. We started here just over a year and a half ago and the difference in both academic achievements and her social skills have skyrocketed. Without the Haven, I am not sure she or I would be ready for this next stage.

Review from Deb (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We love the Haven and couldn't speak more highly of it. We have a 3 year old daughter who's been at the Haven since she was 1. The staff are wonderful and there is a real family feel. They take a genuine interest in each child's individual character and development. They really work hard to be up to date on the latest research into child development and to share with parents what to expect at each development stage. My husband and I feel so comfortable and confident in their care for our daughter. I would say one of the best and unique things we have found is that every member of staff works hard to get to know every child regardless of how much daily interaction they will have with them but more than that they also get to know the family. They are a genuine support to us and an extension of our family unit.
