Review from Catherine W (Mother of Child) published on 26 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been coming for 3 years since she was 6 months old and have experienced excellent care in all the rooms. In particular, her key worker, in (Caterpillars), was outstanding at helping her settle in as a baby and gave me lovely personal updates every day - extremely reassuring to a mum returning to work. I hope she can be the key worker when my next little one starts nursery! another lady in (preschool) has also been excellent in finding practical ways to help her settle when she switched days and changed friendship groups. Think the friendly and personal atmosphere is set from the top and fed down to all the other staff so that we never go in without the manager and every other staff member smiling and welcoming the children in for the day. Most importantly my daughter enjoys going, loves the range of activities and talks happily about all the grown-ups she deals with and I have never had any doubts about the standard of care she has received. I thoroughly recommend Pennypot Day Nursery.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Pennypot for 18 months now and in our experience all staff have been terrific over this time. They form a lovely bond with all carers and it is clear to us that our daughter especially loves her current key worker. The facilities are great, it always looks fun to learn in and our daughter always seems happy to be there which is obviously extremely reassuring.

Overall Experience

My children have attended Pennypot since earlier this year and have had an excellent experience overall. The outdoor area is outstanding and all the members of staff have the children's best interests at heart. The variety of experiences is immense and the children learn very well through play and planned activities.

The nursery management team is excellent.

Overall Experience
It is never easy to leave your new baby with someone else, but since my son started at Pennypot aged 6 months he has been so well looked after.
His keyworker has been wonderful with him and I love all the updates and photos of the activities they get up to on Parentzone.

I would highly recommend Pennypot Day Nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Pennypot around 3 months ago and has settled in extremely quickly, thanks to the great staff their. She is always talking about her favorite members of staff and we have already seen such improvement in her speech and numbers. She has learned to interact with others which is something she used to struggle with. I cant speak highly enough of the staff.

The Staff are all friendly and knowledgeable on my daughters progression. She smiles when knowing we are on our way to Nursery and always comes out smiling. The staff are always welcoming and happy when we arrive. I have always been impressed from day 1 that every member of staff knew her name.

Review from C F (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son's new key worker won The Professional Development Award from 100's of people whilst studying for an Early Years Degree. I have been very impressed by her passion, commitment and her willingness to experiment new methodologies with her pre-school level kids which in turn showed great responses and results before kids started school. My son has attended Pennypot Day Nursery for almost three years and the staff has been very caring throughout.

Review from Kate D (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Pennypot Day Nursery two days a week for the last three years and we have been delighted with it from day one.
The management and all the staff at the nursery are fantastic and the standard of care that our daughter has received has been first class from the baby room right through to pre-school.
We have been extremely pleased with how she has developed throughout her time there and it has been so lovely to review the learning journals & have regular contact with her key worker to see how she is getting on, which has been made even easier now with the introduction of the online portal.
As she prepares to start big school in September we really feel that the nursery as a whole has been fantastic and most recently the pre-school room have been really preparing her for the start of reception.

We couldn't be happier with Pennypot and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely, caring nursery for their child. Many thanks to all the staff

Review from Davinder W (Mother of Child) published on 25 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Pennypot Chobham has been an important part of both our girl's lives, our family and their development. From the time our daughter started in the 'Caterpillars' room the team there was amazing, so warm and welcoming.
Then when both girls were in 'Ladybirds' the 2 practitioners in there were people we could not have done without.
The practitioners take their roles very seriously but at the same time maintain the warmth and fun elements needed for this job.
It's not easy and the team here do an amazing job.

Thank you.

My son started in the baby room at 8months and has journeyed through this nursery all the way to preschool.

He has been supported and nurtured to an enormous degree and provided with the stretch, challenges and experiences that have allowed him to grow and progress.

Overall Experience
The staff and facilities at Pennypot are simply superb. Our daughter can be seen developing steadily into a confident, well-mannered, creative and intelligent little girl.
Staff have nurtured her interests and guided her interaction with other children so well, that she is friends with all her peers.

They certainly go the extra mile compared to other nurseries we have seen/been to.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was 1yr old. He is very happy there and lately has really come out of his shell, his confidence has grown and that's all thanks to the staff and his key person.
They have helped him communicate and develop and work with me.
A very good, friendly nursery, definitely bring your children here.

I am going to bring my other children here too.

Overall Experience
I have had two children here in the last five years. Reassuringly many of the staff have been her for the whole time. Key workers know the children really well and adapt tasks to abilities.

I don't always get a lot of feedback when our key worker isn't there about what my child has done that day.

Overall Experience
Our son loves coming here, so much so that he even asks to come at the weekend.
The outside space is fantastic, especially as he loves the outdoors.

The preparation for school has been very supportive and the communication on where your's child's development is and has always been given in an open and supportive way.
