I do not get much feedback, just that my son has been fine. Neither getting much of his artwork, since he was admitted in September I have collected just 4 artworks in total. I would like to be more involved in what is going on.

We love Playtime. The staff are lovely, the care is very personal (everyone knows our daughter by name) and the approach is very flexible. Our daughter loves it too, despite the usual tears at drop off (!).

The staff at Playtime are friendly, kind, and caring. There are a variety of personalities each bringing a different strength to enrich my Sons nursery experience. They have recognised areas in his development where he requires additional support and they have worked with myself and the relevant agencies
to ensure his needs are met. He loves going to nursery and I feel safe in the knowledge he is happy and extremely well cared for.

Playtime Nursery has been a great foundation for my son from 18 months old through to pre-school. We can see some wonderful behaviours being learnt which will provide a solid foundation for our son's future including manners, sharing and of course, fun.
Our son has had some specific needs at times
in terms of diet and rest and the Nursery has adapted well to his requirements.

Playtime Nursery is a lovely, warm and friendly environment with carers that really care and enjoy working and playing with the children. My Son frequently comes home singing new songs and demonstrating things he has learnt through the day.

Our son has loved attending Playtime Nursery Shepperton this last year. When we arrive in the car park he starts to get really excited as soon as he realises where he is and never likes leaving. The entry/exit is very safe secure and there are always lots of staff to greet and welcome us and our names
are remembered. A thorough questionnaire is filled out on all the child's preferences so the care is as good as at home and the report card at the end of the day lets us know everything he's been up to during the day, including food, bottle amounts and precise sleep times. We are very pleased with our son attending and we feel it's a great starting step in preparing him for school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Playtime Shepperton is a wonderful nursery for both our 3-year-old son and our 8-month-old daughter. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable and really get to know the children. Our son has developed really well over the last year and loves the range of activities available each day and best of all
there are no tantrums in the morning about going to nursery!
Our daughter is really well cared for and benefits greatly from the interaction of other children of a similar age and from the specialised care that the baby room provides.
There are often events to get involved with to help the local community which is a great example for the children and a good conversation starter at home.
Staff always greet us with a smile and make us feel like part of the Playtime family. We are very happy with Playtime Shepperton!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter was at Playtime in Shepperton for over four years and loved it. She probably liked the pre-school class less as she was very much ready for school and therefore possibly wasn't enough to stimulate her. Prior to that, she had a fantastic experience at Playtime. My son is currently in Little
Boppers (he is 2 years old) and absolutely loves it. The staff are fantastic and truly care. They are accommodating and we have no issues at all. Currently, we travel further than we need to in order to allow our son to continue at Playtime in Shepperton. We do it because he loves it and for us that's all that matters.

My son attends Playtime in Shepperton and absolutely loves it. He is incredibly happy there and you really get the feeling that the staff truly love your child. The soft play running through the centre of the nursery has always been a winner, with both him and my daughter (who attended Playtime for
over 4 years prior). With all nurseries there is a big churn of staff, this seems to have settled of late. The current team in the boppers room are great. They really know and understand your child and give him lots of care and cuddles. I am totally relaxed with my son being at Playtime, Shepperton

Playtime is such a lovely nursery. The staff really care about the children and are very professional. They give very detailed reviews of the children's development, no matter what age they are and follow a very good structure with a good balance between play and learning.

My son has been attending Playtime since September 2015. His development has improved leaps and bounds, as well as his confidence. Not only has he made good friends as he's moved through different age group classes, but he has formed close bonds with the staff too. The staff are very caring and make
you feel like your child is in good hands. Can't recommend this nursery enough!

My Grandchild is in the Mini Tots room. She loves to go to nursery. She gets on with all the members of staff. I love hearing what she's been up to. Her speaking has come on so much. The girls have been amazing with her. She talks a lot about her key workers. Thank you for all your hard work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very happy with the way my son was welcomed to the nursery. He gets a bit upset when I leave him but I know as soon as he starts playing with his friends he's a happy, cheerful boy. When I leave, a member of staff always holds him up the window so he can wave goodbye which really helps both me
and him. All the staff are lovely and when my little one comes home he can't wait to tell me what he's done with his friends and how the staff have done things like help him in soft play etc. I would recommend this nursery to my friends as I think it's a really great nursery and, although my sons only been there a little while, he's learnt a lot.

My son has settled here really well, it's a lovely environment with great space and a wide range of activities and learning opportunities.
I feel very well informed as a parent, the staff are always friendly, open and helpful. They are always on hand to answer any questions and I'm always updated
about what he has been doing while at the nursery, he loves coming in and always comes home with different things he has made throughout the day and especially loves the soft play, which is something I have never seen in any other settings I've looked at.
I would highly recommend the nursery and am glad I found it for my son.

Since my son has attended playtime nursery he now speaks much more, now he is around kids his own age and he now has wonderful key workers and staff helping him learn. You get a very warm welcome feeling as soon as you enter playtime nursery. I would just like to say a big thank you for bringing my
son out of his shell. And I also would just like to say, I think it's very good that you get a newsletter every week and a profile sent via email of your child's progress and pictures of what they have done. The staff are awesome!! 100% recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.303)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.303) out of 10 for Partou Playtime Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.636 for Partou Playtime Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.636
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.667 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Playtime Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 90 number of registered child places is 18. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.667
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Parent Relationship Manager Joined: 2014

Hello! I'm Lynn and I achieved my NNEB qualification in 1985 and my BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies degree after a little break in 2015! I have worked in daycare for the majority of my career, including 25 years of managing successful nurseries. I have always enjoyed working with families which naturally led me to my current role of Parent Relationship Manager with All About Children, whom I have enjoyed working for since 2014, and I find it really rewarding to assist parents in answering their queries and supporting them in choosing the right childcare for their child.

I previously worked at Chapel House Day Nursery and have recently returned from maternity leave after having a little girl of my own, this has given me a much better insight into the challenges many working families have and I hope that this will support to service we are able to offer. I am very passionate about my job and I strive to ensure that every child gets to best possible care and education while at Playtime Nursery Shepperton. From working in childcare for a number of years I know how important children’s routines are and how important a stimulating environment is in meeting each individual child’s needs.
