Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
100% recommended! Trusting, caring and fun!
Both my children attended Play Away Day Nursery. My youngest has just left for her summer adventure before school.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough - over the 5 years I have used them, they have always been there for my children. I never had to worry as a parent that my children were being left - they always felt like Playaway was a family home. They loved the staff and the friends they made.
My son has severe allergies and I knew that the food made was carefully made for him. They always made sure he never missed out and tried new recipes to include him in things like making egg-free pancakes!
During the dreaded COVID and when other family childcare became a strain they always supported with flexibility and understanding.
I am really sad to say goodbye - but am truly grateful that I chose them with my most trusted possessions!

Thank you for all.

Thank you for this wonderful review! It is lovely to hear that they felt at home, loved their time here, and that we could accommodate your son's allergies with care and creativity. We wish your youngest the best on her summer adventure before school!

Overall Experience

Both my children have or do attend Play Aways in Totton and I seriously couldn't fault it. The staff are all so caring and friendly. Always looking for new activities to entertain the children and keep learning fresh/fun. My children genuinely love going there and they have had a huge impact in their confidence and growth. I would highly recommend it.

The experience that I have had at the nursery has been amazing all the staff have been welcoming and very caring and my grandson has come on in leaps and bounds since being there. The feedback that the staff give is very good, with pictures and videos which is wonderful.

Review from Lucy C (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I have so many wonderful things to say about the team at Play Away it is difficult to put it all in writing. Every single member of staff is beyond brilliant with my son, as they were with my daughter who attended before him. The Manager and Chef are an absolute dream team, knowing each child individually and showing so much care in everything they do. My son has severe allergies and they have not only supported him with his journey with food at nursery but have eased my anxieties on a number of occasions, going above and beyond to care for him. The play staff are also absolutely phenomenal, knowing him uniquely, genuinely caring and helping him thrive every day. My husband and I will be incredibly sad to say goodbye to everyone at Play Away as they have exceeded every expectation I could ever have asked for from a nursery.

They are all truly amazing and I cannot thank them enough for how they have cared for both of my children.

Review from Anna J (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

My daughter has been in Play Away full-time for the last 3 1/5 years and it has been the very best experience. The staff are very supportive and always adapt to my child's needs without being too submissive. My daughter has a strong personality and the staff are fantastic at encouraging her uniqueness and building on her confidence. She has learnt so much with day-to-day play as well as dedicated learning based on important events like Black History Month and why we wear poppies in November. Thanks to Play Away I have no concerns when she joins school next year. The food is also varied and cooked fresh on site. My daughter can be fussy and they have taught her to at least try new foods. I honestly couldn't recommend Play Away enough. Thank you!
