Review from Kelly H (Mother of Child) published on 31 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the first time I stepped foot in this Nursery I knew this was where I wanted my son to attend. All the staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel so welcome. My son has a massive smile on his face as soon as he sees the reception staff and his room staff it makes it so much easier to leave him. I love how much they do with the children, every day the room is set up in a different way and I get regular updates of what my son is up to. (Loads of messy bits that means I don't need to do it at home!!) My son has come on so far in his development with the help of his room staff, its amazing to see how much time and dedication this Nursery puts into the children. The place itself has amazing facilities, I love the outdoor space and the variety of toys the children have to play with. I don't think anyone could get bored here!

Overall Experience

When my son started at Pennypot nine months ago it was a huge challenge for him (and myself!). All of the staff were incredibly supportive and encouraging, they really made us feel welcome. To our delight, he has settled in brilliantly. One of the things we love about the staff is that there is always someone to greet us individually when we arrive into the classroom. They immediately interact with my son and encourage him to get involved in any activities. The whole team are enthusiastic, warm and genuinely caring. The newly refurbished outside space is a fantastic addition to the nursery, the children love it and there are so many different things to keep them stimulated. Within the classrooms, children’s individual interests are taken into account and nurtured. We loved Pennypot from the very first visit and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a day nursery.

Overall Experience

My children are incredibly happy at this nursery and are making great progress. I trust the staff to keep them safe and help them to learn new skills that increase their independence. The classrooms and outdoor learning area are comforting and stimulating in lots of different ways and my children both come home in high spirits every time they attend.

Starting nursery was a very big change for my son which he struggled with to start with but all the staff are so friendly and really helped to welcome him each day with a big cuddle and make him feel safe and happy. He has now settled in nicely and really enjoys his time there.

Review from Elle (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have one child in pre-school and one in Bumblebees at Pennypot Nursery Cobham. They are both incredibly settled there and look forward to going in. The ethos is very child-led and practitioners will often restructure or redirect activities around the developing interests of the children. Communication from practitioners on drop off and collection is excellent and they are very flexible and accommodating. Their key workers are always there to greet them - if they are going to be absent on any day, they always let us know with plenty of notice and another practitioner is ready to meet and greet in their place. The office team are also excellent - emails and calls are responded to promptly and efficiently, and they are always happy, helpful and polite. I trust Pennypot Nursery Cobham completely with the physical, emotional and social development of my children, and I am grateful to have found such a supportive, proactive and nurturing environment.

Review from Linsey L (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started at Pennypots around 18 months ago after attended another local nursery. We had become quite unhappy with his setting hence the need to look around other nurseries. The minute we stepped into Pennypots we could see it was a lovely, nurturing environment for the children. The staff genuinely care for the children and my son is very fond of them all. My son is starting school this September and is also a September born baby and he continues to learn every day. We have no concern that he may be getting bored (being one of the oldest). The range of activities he does at the nursery keeps him interested and enhance his learning every day. We have been so impressed with the nursery that we will be sad to be leaving this summer.

Overall Experience

I have two children currently at Pennypot Nursery and they have both absolutely loved it there from day one. They moved there from another nursery when we moved house and we could not be happier that we chose Pennypot - the staff are all extremely friendly and caring making it a lovely environment for our children to be in. I love the outdoor space that the children have access to and that they spend so much time outdoors. They are also really focused on the children's development, which we have been very pleased with. In summary, we are extremely happy with Pennypot and could not recommend it more highly.

Overall Experience

Our son attended this nursery and we were more than pleased with his learning and experience. Everyone is caring and kind. As soon as our daughter was born she was placed on the waiting list. We discovered our daughter had additional needs. The team have been outstanding in their support of us throughout this challenging time. The level of care, support and love they shown us and our daughter has been overwhelming. Our daughter has progressed in leaps and bounds. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent and especially those with kids with additional needs.

Overall Experience
I have found that since my son has been at Pennypot, his development has come on. He has developed more over the last few months since starting with Pennypot than he has when spending time with others. He is confident, talks and engages with others and out and about. The staff are very attentive and support his development and encourage him to be himself. Even down to the reception team.

It's so caring and great to see a team passionate and devoted and take time out to treat and support your child. Keep up the great work.

Review from Caroline H (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We could not be happier with Pennypot Day Nursery and feel so relieved that we chose this nursery for our daughter. The number of settling in sessions was great and I always feel so relaxed dropping her off, even if she has a little cry because the staff are so lovely to her!
The end of day sheets are brilliant as I know not all nurseries do this but it’s great to know exactly how much she’s eaten and slept etc. I really love the ParentZone app too and look forward to the updates.

What really has surprised/delighted me is how the manager, receptionists and nursery staff have taken the time to really get to know our daughter and us. It’s the loveliest atmosphere walking in! I was so worried that I would be called a lot in the first few months and have to miss work because of illness etc but that hasn’t been the case at all. It’s such a great nursery.

Overall Experience
My children recently started at Pennypot having moved from another nursery both have settled incredibly fast and this is due to the time given by key workers to help them adapt to their new surroundings.

We are really impressed with Pennypots facilities, especially the outdoor space. Communication from keyworkers and management is excellent which is a big part of the overall experience as parents.

Review from Evette R (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
New to the area after difficult circumstances and with a six-week-old baby, I had been recommended Pennypot and immediately I liked the fantastic warmth from the staff, surroundings, facilities and activities available.
From day one and at only 4 months old, all the staff made us feel they truly care about all the children they look after, greeting them by name with a smile!
Going back to working full time, the fact that they operated full day hours and term times and provided all meals was amazing and knowing I was leaving my little baby girl in such a reassuring, welcoming environment where she can develop in confidence, emotionally, physically and mentally is a huge part in the start of her journey in life.

So highly recommend.

Overall Experience
Fantastic staff and such a lovely nursery. Both my daughters have been at Pennypot since they were 6 months old, with my oldest been right through the nursery. From day one staff made us feel like they truly care about all the children they look after, always greeting them by name with a smile and often a cuddle! They also take the time and effort to get to know the children's families, not just parents but grandparents and aunties and uncles too!
Nothing is ever too much trouble and staff respond to queries very efficiently.
My youngest daughter is in Bumblebees and it's so lovely that she runs in excited to be going into the nursery, it means that whilst I am at work I can rest easy knowing that she's having so much fun, in fact sometimes she doesn't want to come home!

Cannot come any more highly recommended! xxx

Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since November 2015. From the start, they were great at settling him and accommodating my needs. I had been recommended the nursery and I immediately liked the surroundings, activities available and staff. Working full time, the fact that they operated full day hours and provided all meals was amazing. I could leave my precious son in a place without any concerns or worries. They have supported his development all along to preparing him for school, with special assistance around his speech and use parent zone so we can contribute also. They also run lots of amazing activities outside nursery hours for the children supporting charities. I highly recommend them overall.

On entering the nursery you are met with very friendly staff, always a smile on their faces! The nursery itself offers lots of activities for the children. The nursery staff keep you well informed about the child's day. There is a lot of interaction between the staff and child and you can sense that they are very committed to their profession. My Grandson is absolutely thriving at Penny Pot Nursery. I would have no hesitations in recommending this nursery to future parents.

The nursery is an absolutely brilliant nursery from beginning to end. At the front desk, you are always greeted with a smile and a very warm welcome. My child is in the caterpillar room and she comes out every day with a big smile on her face. She is looked after incredibly well and I couldn't be happier with the care she is receiving.

Well done Pennypot. Great job.
