Pennypot Day Nursery (Chobham)

I have two little boys at Pennypot and I can’t recommend it more highly. It is a wonderful, caring and nurturing environment. Staff always go the extra mile to ensure the children (and parents) in their care are settled and happy and well looked after. The site itself is exciting and interesting for the kids with new features and play areas constantly being developed. Communication is excellent and management always take a flexible and open minded approach to specific requests.

We speak every day about how lucky we were to come across Pennypot. We know how loved our daughter is there and we are always so happy to drop her off as we know how much love and attention she will receive throughout the day. All of the staff have boundless enthusiasm and kindness for all of the children and yet no child is given less attention. They have an incredible ability to devote their attention to each child. I have never walked in and felt unwelcome, no matter how busy they are each staff member has a smile on their face and enthusiasm to talk about each child and how their day went. They never make you feel like you're wasting their time and are always keen to reassure you and help where they can - not only with concerns you may have about your child's development for example but also to help where they can to assist you with whatever you are trying to encourage at home -it feels like a partnership in efforts. I need more space to sing their full praises-I had to cut my full review down!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So highly recommend.

I would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone.

Staff at Pennypots have gone above and beyond to help our daughter settle in. They are very caring and willing to go that extra mile to make her feel comfortable. I have been so impressed with Pennypots. Thank you!

Cannot come any more highly recommended! xxx

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.

A big thank you for the excellent care you all gave to both of our children. I would definitely recommend Pennypot. Excellent full-time care, great facilities including outdoor, continuous improvements and always with a smile. An easy and unforgettable journey.

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.
