Pennypot Day Nursery (Chobham)

Our little boy started at Pennypot when he was 13 months old. As our first, we were naturally anxious about finding somewhere we could really trust and where we felt he would be looked after as if he was at home. We found just that place in Pennypot and couldn't be happier! We fell in love with the nursery when looking around on a sunny day in the summer before our little boy was even born. When the time came for our son to start going to nursery we wondered if the reality would live up to our expectations but it has surpassed all hopes. All of the staff are warm and friendly and it is clear they care about the children and take pride in the nursery. The outside spaces are great and the children do a wide variety of activities. A particular member of staff has been amazing as our son's key worker. He is now about to "graduate" out of the baby room and into Ladybirds as a sociable, happy little boy excited for what is to come! It really is a fabulous nursery and we are so happy to have found it.

We are always welcomed by happy, enthusiastic staff every time we drop off/pick up and my son practically jumps into their arms every morning! We feel so lucky to have found such a warm, friendly and caring place to leave our little man and feel safe in the knowledge that his needs are being brilliantly met. Thank you, Manager and team!

We were extremely nervous sending our son to nursery when he was 8.5 months old and leaving him was hard, but it didn't take long for us to realise our son was having the best time at Pennypot and we quickly felt very comfortable. The staff have been fantastic with our son, he adores them so much, he reaches out for them at drop off! The daily updates on the app are great as we know what he has eaten throughout the day, nappy changes and nap times, we also get occasional photos which is lovely to see. We are very impressed with how attentive the staff are with our son and how well they know him. They always do what they can to cater to our son's needs and what works for him with nap times and specific toys, even when it is different to other children his age group. We have required additional support due to our son's developmental needs and the staff have been so supportive and helpful. We cannot thank them enough! We would highly recommend Pennypot!

We feel very lucky to have our two children at Pennypot Nursery! We have been impressed by the settings of the rooms: very spacious, lots of light and very organised. The staff are very friendly and very helpful, they always greet you with a big smile and both our children enjoy their days at Pennypot!

I am so grateful for the work the nursery puts in and how they have set him up for success in the future. Thank you Pennypot!

Thank you for all of your support, Pennypot!

Our son has been attending Pennypot for just under a year now and loves every single second he is there. The staff are absolutely brilliant with him and do an amazing job at helping him develop, keeping him safe, and entertaining him with a wide range of toys and activities. We are always kept up to date on his progress and the team in the caterpillars room really know him well. The fact he will jump from our arms to theirs and wave us off, gives us the confidence that he loves it and is having the best time.

Pennypot Day Nursery is simply exceptional. As a worried new mum returning to work I wondered if I'd be able to find somewhere that we felt truly comfortable with our baby daughter attending, but from the moment I walked through the doors it felt like a second home for her. All of the staff know each child by name and are always friendly and polite. The staff are genuinely interested in getting to know each individual child which creates a close-knit and loving environment. The communication between staff and parents is completely open and honest, with regular updates via the app throughout the day. If any challenges do arise, the nursery team work with the parents to solve things together. We regard Pennypot as an extension of our daily support network in raising our child, with her key person even providing guidance on getting our child to sleep through the night which was a huge success. I feel lucky to have my child at Pennypot where she is clearly thriving, thank you so much!

Love this nursery. Couldn't recommend Pennypot Day Nursery enough... the staff are all so friendly and all seem to deeply care about all of the children. I was mega nervous about leaving my daughter who was 13 months old however they made it super seamless and put me at ease. My daughter is now very settled and absolutely loves it! They are always great at sharing how she has been that day and I love the meal updates and seeing the snapshots with her. We currently get monthly development updates and these are super detailed and demonstrates that they are just as focused on her development as we are as her parents.

Pennypot Day Nursery is phenomenal. Considering I am a highly critical person and my job relies on my criticality, I cannot fault a single thing about Pennypot. Every single member of staff is so lovely, warming and welcoming and how they remember the name of every single child is beyond me! Everyone is incredibly professional and I feel completely safe dropping my child there every day. I love that you get to walk to your child's room to drop them off and pick them up rather than waiting at reception and the daily updates on the app are very helpful. The activities they plan in each class are so helpful for development and they dedicate time daily to practice the skills/tools that each child is learning. As you can tell, I couldn't recommend Pennypot enough!

Had it not been for a relocation we would have kept him there until it was time for him to start school. Thank you Pennypot!

I can’t describe Pennypot any other way than magical. Our son has flourished under the guidance of not just his room teachers, but all the staff, management included. The focus at the nursery is 100% about the children. Every single member of staff is friendly, approachable, and seem to know all the children’s names. We will miss Pennypot terribly. Not only have they provided a safe learning and play environment for our son but they have been supportive with us as parents, helping us navigate all the stages from toddler to preschooler. I couldn’t recommend Pennypot enough and any child that gets the chance to attend will be utterly fortunate (as will their parents!).

We recently moved our son from another nursery to Pennypot after a bad encounter with the care provided. The experience with the team at Pennypot was a breath of fresh air and exceptional from the initial tour to the settling-in sessions and now his regular days in the Caterpillar room (baby). The daily interactions with everyone are warm and welcoming, being greeted each morning by our names rather than a 'hi mum' which we received beforehand really makes such a difference and I enjoy dropping off and seeing the staff. The team ensures the activities are varied and educational and we receive regular updates on what he has been up to during his time in nursery. The nap room is fantastic so he sleeps well and the in-house chefs provide nutritious menus so my son enjoys mealtimes. My son loves the staff (regularly giving cuddles to everyone) and I can't recommend Pennypot and their fantastic team of staff enough.

My daughter has been in the Caterpillar room for 6 months. She loves the nursery and her key person immensely. The staff are wonderful, kind and reassuring and I am completely comfortable that she receives excellent care, attention and assistance in developing. The nursery has a wonderful range of activities for the children both indoors and outdoors. The app is also a fantastic feature to reassure me that she is enjoying her day and allows me a window into her world when I'm at work. I couldn't recommend Pennypot more highly.

Both of our children attend Pennypot Day Nursery, full time. They are confident, kind, healthy and happy children - in no small part, thanks to the care and kindness they receive from all of the staff at nursery.

Overall, if your looking for a brilliant nursery, look no further. Pennypot provides it all!

We were worried about naps before starting but Pennypot handled that without a hitch. He eats well throughout the day. Overall I can’t fault it!

I have two children currently at Pennypot. The staff in both rooms have built wonderful relationships with them and continually create engaging activities which tap into their specific interests. Not only do they upload regular photos and snapshots of the things they have been up to but are also happy to talk through any concerns or relay specific developments at pick-up every day. All staff at Pennypot have also been incredibly vigilant at dealing with my son's extensive allergies and they go above and beyond to ensure his daily environment is the safest it can be. Transitions between rooms are managed carefully and sensitively and in the preschool room, they pay particular attention to school readiness- including putting on an information evening for parents and offering great suggestions for activities and resources to help with this. I cannot recommend Pennypot enough - it really is a fantastic childcare setting!

Our daughter has been in the caterpillar room now for 4 months, the staff have been amazing in helping her settle in so fast and bringing out her personality. She has multiple food allergies which have been managed so well. Her key workers are amazing and she has formed such a good bond with them. The app updates keep us informed throughout the day. I honestly can't recommend Pennypot highly enough.

There is always such a caring feeling of family there as even staff who haven't worked in her room know her name. It is really great to get updates and photos through to the app as reassurance and a bit of a glimpse into what she is up to and feel more connected to her during the day. They take the time to tell me what she's been up to every day when I pick her up. We have seen a big development in her and great to have a clear site of development they are working on. And we have had some very thoughtful weekly and monthly updates, which they obviously spend time writing up. The rooms and outdoor space is fabulous.
