The meals are varied and all home cooked and the staff take the children into the outdoor space when suitable. A great first impression.
In 2017, our youngest joined his older brother at Pennypot Day Nursery. We have trust and confidence in the nursery that his experience will be equally special.
When I visited Pennypot Day Nursery for the first time, everyone was warm and friendly and a child ran up and hugged the Manager so my first impression was of a really friendly, nurturing place with capable staff. My 2 children are really happy there, settled very quickly and are nice and tired at the end of the day! The staff are all so lovely and I can't recommend it highly enough.
The staff at Pennypot Day Nursery have been so helpful and welcoming. They have made the process of nursery and returning to work so much easier than I thought it would be. Everyone here is upbeat and always say hello and hi, even the staff from other rooms, then my child knows his name and likes to interact with him. Thank you to all that make my sons days happy and fun!
Fabulous for our daughter. Helpful for us and we would always recommend nursery over other childcare options.
Have been very happy. Our daughter has been attending for 18months. Eats well, has made some lovely friends, has maintained good confidence and has enjoyed her time here.
I never doubt her welfare is of utmost importance to the Pennypot Day Nursery team and I am happy to leave her in their care.
My son settled in well and fast into the baby Caterpillars room. The staff are really caring and have made a good bond with my son. I am not worried at all when I drop him off to go to work for the day. He is in safe hands and only a call away. The facilities and activities are excellent at the nursery and I know my son is always being entertained.
I love the free flow setup, and the fact the children are encouraged on a daily basis (from the moment they arrive!) to go outside in the garden area to play and explore if they choose to. I have seen my daughter's level of confidence in socialising, an improvement in her speech (she is a stammerer) improve tenfold. I firmly believe this is largely due to the setting she is currently in - she has all the right stimuli and lots of time and space to develop emotionally, physically and mentally. There is a spirit of inclusion and Pennypot is a comfortable and welcoming setting. Strongly recommend.
Overall I'm really happy with Pennypot Day Nursery (Cobham), particularly with my daughter's development since she has been there and relationship with her key worker.
They have been very supportive in helping my daughter settle as she finds any new environment particularly challenging, which has been a huge comfort time to know her needs are tailored to her as an individual.
My 6-month-old son has recently started at Pennypot. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt a warm and welcoming environment. The baby room is age appropriate and our son has been engaging in lots of activities we don’t get time to do at home. Our son has recently started weaning and the nursery has supported my partner in ensuring our son has a well-balanced diet. Our son's keyworker has worked very hard at ensuring our son is happy every day and has made the process of my partner going back to work so much easier. I would highly recommend Pennypot to new parents.
My daughter is comfortable with the staff at Pennypot Day Nursery (Cobham) as she is with her own mum and dad! Great setup, secure and a great menu, following feedback given.
We are very happy with the care our son receives at Pennypot Day Nursery (Cobham). He enjoys his time there especially playing outdoors as the garden area is lovely with lots of activities for the children.
We find Pennypot to be a very nurturing and professional environment and feel very lucky we found it for our son.
When I collect her at the end of her session she is always engaged and having a wonderful time. Her language has come on in leaps and bounds and she has improved her listening skills enormously.
The staff are friendly, caring and very welcoming. The interaction between the children and all of the room staff is fantastic.
The garden is a wonderful space for the children to play and explore and I like that they are able to choose to come and go into the garden as they please.
She also loves the stretch and grow sessions and often comes home and shows us what exercises are good for us!
I would highly recommend this lovely nursery.
My son loves all of the staff in pre-school.
My daughter started at 17 months old and is now 3 and a half years. I have found Pennypot to be very nurturing. The staff always greet my daughter with warmth and smiles. When she transferred to the 2-3-year-old room, the staff were fully aware of what my daughter needed each morning to feel settled which I appreciated. Now she is in pre-school and absolutely loves it. Her key worker is lovely and my daughter has formed a wonderful bond with her.
Going back to work and leaving your baby is hard but it’s been so much easier knowing he’s being left in such good hands.
I am really pleased with the care my daughter gets at the nursery. I was very apprehensive about going back to work (she was 12 months old) but the settling in process was excellent (4 sessions covering all aspects - meal, nap etc) and was very reassuring.
She absolutely loves going and has lots of fun with all the activities which have really brought her on. The app is also really good for keeping you in touch about what they are doing when you are at work. I would thoroughly recommend.
Pennypot is a lovely nursery and we are delighted with our choice. The staff are so friendly and are great at keeping you updated with how things are going and how the little ones are settling in and progressing. I love the photo updates and comments they do on day to day activities. It's so nice to see our little one enjoying himself and taking part in different activities. This particularly helped at the beginning when it was a teary drop-off - so reassuring to see him happy in the day.
It feels very safe too, the staff are great at knowing and being aware of who is doing pick up and double checking if it is someone they have not met before. My dad was delighted when he got ID and it was double checked that he was on the list for pick up!
Lovely nursery and lovely staff.
