The new manager and her team are amazing. The interaction between the parents and the nursery team is amazing. We are informed about everything via email and get instant replies to any requests. They are always helpful and friendly. Our daughter is attending only 2 days a week so can't have any high
expectations regarding her education. But I know one thing, she is being cared and safe.

My daughter has been at Playtime since she was 1 year old. 2 years in I just cannot thank the whole team at Playtime for the progress they have done with my daughter in so many of her areas.
I can see exactly how much she loves it there, from the way she runs in every morning.
Thank you to the whole
team! Such an amazing, welcoming environment. Truly a home-from-home.

My twin girls have been attending Playtime Nursery for a few months now and I couldn't be happier. It took me a while to find a nursery that I got the feeling for as it's a big thing putting your little ones into nursery for the first time and you want to feel that they are safe, will have fun and be
well looked after in other people's care. The team at Playtime Nursery are amazing, they built relationships with my girls instantly which was hugely reassuring and they are always focusing on their individual needs and development. They support an element of your home routine, they keep you updated via the app and I love seeing the observation photos! I would highly recommend playtime nursery to other parents.

My daughter has been attending Playtime Nursery Shepperton for several months now and I cannot fault the care and dedication of the team there. The team really focus on the development of your child whilst also ensuring they are having fun at the same time, I have really noticed how much my child has
progressed under their care. She is also incredibly sociable which I am sure is down to being in a nursery environment several days a week. As a parent you wonder what your child is up to each day, however with the app parents can access you get regular updates so overall communication is excellent. A varied menu that is communicated with parents means I know my child is getting the balanced diet that us adults strive for, if only our workplaces could cater like this! I would highly recommend this nursery to all parents in the Shepperton area.

I would highly recommend this nursery. My son has settled in so well as all the staff are friendly and have made the time to bond with him. My son always has a great time in preschool and loves the big front garden. He loves the food and always eats well and comes home happy every day.

Amazing nursery, staff are really approachable. My son always runs straight in without looking back which really puts my mind at ease. Use of Tapestry is great as I can see what he’s been up to and what he's eaten throughout the day. My son enjoys the free play of being able to go in and out of the
garden or using the huge soft play area. He has a fantastic relationship with his key worker who is always updating me with his progress and happy for me to call whenever I like. Would highly recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy started Playtime Nursery - Shepperton in February after coming from another nursery.
The nursery staff are absolutely lovely and you couldn’t ask for nicer people to look after your little ones.
The settling in for my little boy was smooth and easy for us both.
Even with Covid it
was difficult as not being allowed to see the nursery but they’d made a very informative video for us to watch which was great.
My little boy is loving the nursery and I couldn’t ask for a better one. He’s come on so well with his speech and language which he’s quite behind on and also developing his social skills has been great for outside the nursery too.
Thank you to them all for their hard work.

My 4 years old grandson arrived in the UK just before Christmas. We have no acquaintances with children of that age so he was very lonely before starting at Playtime Nursery. He attends 3 mornings a week and it has been a godsend. He really looks forward to his time there and he loves playing with the
other children. The staff are very helpful and have been brilliant at helping me as things have changed so much since my children were his age.

Playtime has been a home away from home and extended family to our son for the last 3 years and now our daughter has joined the loving, safe and fun environment too. I've seen the nursery change over time and also cope well through the latest Covid challenges. The staff aren't there to just do their
job, they really connect and encourage the children's development. Playtime is open and supportive; I've opted to cloth nappy my children and they have supported our choices. I know of others who have religious and other dietary requirements, all of which are handled really well. Both my children love attending; the 3.5 year old tells me and begs to go on his non-nursery days and the 1 year old claps her hands and smiles when she sees her 'school bag'. They run in at drop off and come out full of smiles and stories of their day at pick up. Playtime are lucky to have some fantastic indoor and outdoor spaces to keep the children entertained too and they make the most of them in all weather.

My little boy has settled in extremely well - when we arrive in the mornings, he is so excited to go in and he doesn’t even have time to say goodbye.
He always comes out happy, so I know the girls are looking after him extremely well. The manager and then girls are always happy to chat and answer any
questions.
I would definitely recommend Playtime to others.

Great facilities for settling in. Very friendly staff. Good communication from management about Covid situation. Our child has now so very well acclimatised to the nursery that she jumps in joy as soon as she sees the car turning into the car park. Very positive experience overall. Highly recommended!

We love Playtime Shepperton. All the staff are amazing with the children and go out of their way to make the parents feel comfortable. The children are always in the garden doing activities which are great for their development and there is a really big indoor soft play for them to burn some energy
for rainy days. We are incredibly happy and definitely recommend it.

We are so pleased with our experience at Playtime - it's been such a relief to know the quality of care is excellent even in these difficult times. Our baby is so happy when we get there to drop him off, it's so great to see! We can go to work knowing he is being well looked after and continuing with
his development despite the pandemic. Thank you!

I have only had positive experiences whilst my son has attended the nursery. My son took a while to adjust when he first started at the nursery but he was made to feel welcome and safe which made the settle in period so much easier for him and me.

We have had the most wonderful experience at Playtime Shepperton! From our first visit, we knew it was where we wanted to send our little boy. The manager is so welcoming, kind and has been able to solve any problems that we have had as well as helping to guide and advise us along the way. The staff
are so caring and kind. Our son's keyworker in particular is so wonderful. You obviously have fears when you are leaving your baby in someone else's care but our keyworker is just amazing. She is so caring and has the most wonderful manner - I know that my boy is safe in her care. Whenever we pick him up it is clear that he has had a great day and I love reading up about what he has been doing on the tapestry website. We looked at a few nurseries before making our decision and are so glad that we chose Playtime.

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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2014

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.
