Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not recommend this nursery more, even if I wanted to! My daughter absolutely loves it here and usually can’t wait to get away from me to see the girls in her room. It’s also really nice that the children have outside time every day either in the front or back garden.
I love that all the food
is homemade on the premises and the menus are always yummy and I’m still yet to find one that she doesn’t like!
The bond she has with the girls is lovely and they’re all so informative, helpful and I’m always intrigued at the end of the day to find out what activities she has done as there is always something different.
I absolutely love the nursery and the staff and my daughter does too.

My son has been in full time nursery since he was a year old. We had to move nursery’s and joined Playtime in Shepperton in November. I can honestly say, he absolutely loves it. We were worried about moving him as he’s nearly four years old, but our worries were unfounded. He spontaneously told us that
he loves his new nursery which is a huge recommendation. He comes home telling us about all the different activities he has been doing. He absolutely loves playing in the mud garden, his clothes are a testimony to this. The staff are welcoming and I couldn’t ask for anything more. 10/10. I just wish I’d moved him sooner.

We are very happy with Playtime. Our son was almost 2 when he started in July and has now settled in well. The girls are all lovely, friendly, supportive and helpful which we really appreciate.

Playtime Nursery Shepperton has gone beyond my expectations. The staff are key to that, always giving feedback on how the day has been and any developments. My little one shows me something new she’s picked up every day and I cannot thank the staff enough for this. It’s very daunting to send her off
for the first few weeks but Playtime really made this transition very comfortable for her and us and we have a child that can’t wait to get to nursery. Menus are very vast and delicious! The little one gets to explore all types of foods with nutrients in mind. The premises are by far the best I have seen and the activities they have really engage the child. Highly recommended Playtime Nursery Shepperton.

Playtime Nursery is a brilliant place to send a child. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable and very hard working. I have found their services to be outstanding. My child has settled in very well and always comes home smiling after a day there. The food is of a great standard the nursery workers are
just lovely. They worked hard to understand my child's needs so that her transition was easy. My child has come home singing nursery rhymes I never taught her and saying words I haven't yet taught her. She has come on so much since her introduction to her worker. I couldn't recommend the place enough. As a new mother, I often find myself doubting approaches and decisions I make but Playtime Nursery has not been one of them.

The first time I walked into Playtime I knew this was the correct setting for my daughter, the manager was so welcoming, and greeted me with a warm and friendly smile, I knew from then my daughter will be very happy at PlayTime. My daughter has received a lot of love and care from the staff. We've been
with them since February 2019 and are not able to fault them at all. They show dedication, understanding and complete professionalism, this allows the child to develop to there potential. They create a lovely, fun and warm environment for the children and they are true 'kids' lovers! She has a clear affection for the staff and has bonded with her key worker. All the team know her well, her likes and dislikes, what she's learning and how she's developing, and they talk about her with genuine affection. I like that there are activities which are based around education, since my daughter has been at PlayTime she has developed tremendously. I can recommend PlayTime to any parent.

Our daughter thoroughly enjoys each and every day she attends the nursery. We have complete confidence she is well cared for and that her developmental needs are catered to with varied practical activitities. The environment feels vibrant and welcoming with different colours, sounds and things to keep
her well stimulated and push her to keep developing. And the staff have been reassuring and helped her to settle in.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She feels at home. It’s so reassuring to know she is spending the day somewhere she really enjoys being. She loves the garden so having the two outside areas is perfect. We could not ask for any more. All staff are great and she loves all the girls in her
room. She settled in so quickly.

Playtime Nursery Shepperton have taught my daughter her colours and animal noises in such an impressively short time. She only attends for two half days a week, but she seems to learn so much whilst she's there.
The staff are all really lovely, her third word was the name of her room leader!
One
of the main selling points for us was the great facilities such as the huge outside garden and soft play area.

We would definitely recommend Playtime.

My son loves it here. He is always happy when I pick him up, and really likes the carers. The food selection is pretty good and they give him extra, if he needs it. He sleeps well at nap time and gets a lot of play time outside and in soft play. The communication is frequent and it’s easy to get answers
to questions and, as mentioned before, my son loves it and that makes going to work easier, knowing he is so happy.

Great indoor and outdoor space for children to thrive. The nursery has recently been refurbished to create a calm space for children to learn and grow. Staff are always available to talk to parents which is comforting, especially when children are new to the nursery. They have recently added an online
portal which I think is great for parents.

Playtime is a good nursery especially for working parents due to the full time hours, location next to the train station and acceptance of 30 hours funding (although the top up is expensive). It had a change of ownership last year but it’s been mostly positive with a refurbishment and new parent information
app. The staff have always been wonderful and my child enjoys it, especially the on-site soft play!

I have 2 children at the nursery and have recommended it to other mums. My kids are always so happy when I collect them having had a fun day learning and playing. The staff are all so kind and caring and I genuinely feel they love looking after the kids. I love the new facilities and layout since
the nursery was taken over last year - lots of wooden and natural toys promoting creative play.

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.
