Our daughter loves attending pennies! She is always happy. All the staff are friendly, and helpful and make you feel very at ease and welcome.

My daughter is in the Sunflowers room at Mark Cross. She has been with the nursery since she was ten months and she has simply thrived. The staff are so supportive and I couldn’t fault them. I was a very nervous first-time mother, and they made me feel like my daughter was in completely safe hands and I still feel that way! They get up to such fun/varied activities every day and she has made some great friends. I recommend Pennies to everyone! We will be sad to leave in September when my daughter starts school.

Your recommendation speaks volumes about the quality of care and support offered by the nursery. Wishing your daughter continued success as she embarks on this new chapter in September!
My daughter attended Sunflowers from October 2022 to September 2023, she is now in school and thriving, the nursery and the staff were wonderful in accommodating my daughter after we relocated back to the area. I would definitely recommend it.

My one-year-old daughter started nursery on 01/10/2023 after spending her entire first year with me. She initially took time to adapt struggling with food, sleep, and play, but her key workers at Pennies were extremely kind and reassuring. My daughter received lots of cuddles, focus and attention in those first few weeks and now she is beginning to flourish. She has gone from crying on drop off to bum shuffling off without so much as a backwards glance to play with her friends and all the wonderful toys. She eats well, sleeps well and has lots of fun playing indoors and out. I receive a daily handover and she clearly loves and appreciates her key workers often smiling and giggling at them when I pick her up at the end of the day. I was initially nervous about sending my daughter to nursery 5 days per week 7:30-17:00/18:30. Pennies really does feel like a home away from home. I genuinely believe my daughter is happy at Pennies and I cannot wait to see how she develops over the next year.
The dedication and support of her key...
It's heartwarming to hear about the positive experience your one-year-old daughter has had at Pennies Nursery. The journey from her first day to now is truly remarkable, and it's a testament to the nurturing and caring environment provided by the staff.Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story of her journey at Pennies Nursery.

My son has been going to nursery since he was 17 months. Hes now 4 years old! He has flourished at Pennies Day Nursery - Mark Cross and become the caring little boy off the back of the nursery. The staff form such a lovely relationship with the children, parents and each other which leaves the atmosphere to feel very much like a family unit. My son has built great relationships across the nursery and hopefully continues to do so in afterschool/breakfast clubs. We are so pleased he went to this nursery as his personal development and learning has been remarkable. There really is no other nursery that we would consider to put our second child in! It really is a no Brainer! Well done to all the staff at Pennies Day Nursery - Mark Cross for all that they do. You guys are truly amazing and should leave every day feeling proud at the legacy you're leaving for the kiddies in preparation for big school and the development they have accomplished. Thank you!

We have had a great experience with Pennies Day Nursery, Mark Cross. Our son loves to go. The staff are always kind and caring towards him. He is slightly behind his peers and is also very picky about food. Staff have made a referral for extra support for him and have been keen to find out ways to...
We have struggled to get extra sessions for him because the nursery is so popular and busy but this hasn’t been too much of an issue as he would likely struggle with longer days at the moment.

Our son started at Pennies at 10 months old just over a year ago and we have been very happy with the care so far. He loves going to nursery and whenever we’ve had a chance to watch him without seeing us, he has seemed happy and content and interacting with all the staff. We enjoy seeing what he’s...
My only criticism is that it is very irritating to pay for bank holidays when the nursery is closed. This is because he attends on a Monday but if he attended on a Wednesday for example, he would get the days that we pay for.
Wow, what a lovely review! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such kind words. We pride ourselves on ensuring that children love coming to us. Sharing your positive experience and taking the time to mention that our catering is 'wonderful' is great to read. Thank you!

A fantastic nursery both my son's absolutely love! They have both attended from 3 months and their confidence and development is a true credit to the team. The nursery has a positive and friendly aura and all the staff are so helpful and really care about the children's development. The nursery has a wonderful big garden for the children to enjoy with an array of climbing frames and toys. All meals are included, nutritious and I know they are getting everything they need for the day.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are very pleased to hear that both of your sons enjoy coming to pennies. As a family-run company, we pride ourselves upon making positive experiences for both the parents and children that attend and visit our setting.
My eldest is two and Pennies has taught him so much, he’s been there for over a year now. At first, he cried at every drop-off but everyone at Pennies was so lovely and kind and now he goes walking in with no...
Staff are a friendly and approachable and they don’t keep changing! We struggled with this at our previous nursery but they’ve been so constant at Pennies.

We really love the home-from-home environment and outside space. By far an amazing environment for our little chap who loves to learn outside. They go out in all weathers and he loves this.

Pennies is a wonderful nursery. The staff go above and beyond, keep the children well entertained and teach them lots of valuable skills through play. They helped my eldest so he was well prepared to start school. There is a fabulous garden for the children to run around in whatever the weather (they will be dressed appropriately for the weather by staff) and they also provide a nutritious menu.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We always try our best to make our preschool children as prepared for school as possible through simple independent building tasks and it's great to hear that your eldest child was well prepared and it helps us to know the things we do are making a positive difference.
The staff are always friendly...
The hours are good for our work shifts and although out of our way we are happy to do the extra mileage as Pennies are so liked by us and our daughter. It is well run by professional, helpful and caring staff. Thanks Pennies!
We are so glad that your daughter enjoys coming to PKC, we try our hardest to develop different food menus that all of the children enjoy. Thank you for highlighting how caring and attentive our staff are, I will pass on your kind words to all of our PKC staff.
The kids absolutely love going to Pennies Kids Club during the school holidays. We know the kids are safe, well and happy there. The weekly day trips are an absolute highlight. The staff are a great bunch. Extremely happy to recommend.

Thank you so much for a review that highlights the work done by our PKC (kids club) in the holidays. Because our setting is primarily known as a nursery some people miss the other work we do so we're grateful you have discussed this and shared how much your children love this. It's our mission to make sure that continues until they're of an age when it's no longer aimed at them.

We have now chosen Pennies Mark Cross for our son after a show-around.
The reason why we chose Pennies Mark Cross was because everyone looked very happy to be there from kids to carers and that was lovely to see, and I was getting choked up about how much our son would love it there. I did not have to ask any questions as the staff told me everything while we walked around. Our son really loved his first session, there was a scene when we told him he had to leave Pennies and come home!
Thank you for this review. We're really glad you noticed how happy everyone seemed when you came. It's something we work hard to achieve and much of that involves understanding children and their families. It's often the case that children very quickly settle down to being pleased to go home, but also happy to be with us.
My children go to the after-school club. The younger children love going but there are not many older children (year 3 and above) so they can struggle a bit. Recently fees went up approximately 50% and although I appreciate minimum wage is going up and some other costs will have increased this is a...
The staff on the ground try to provide a lovely environment for my children. It can be hit and miss with some staff better than others, and some sending children home after not eating their tea but also not offering a sandwich as an alternative. The cost is now prohibitive and out of place in our location where the other local school charges far less for their after-school club. The management team have also not dealt with the recent issues very well.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We do read all reviews and take on board all comments. You're right to highlight the reasons for fee changes, a decision we never take lightly. We're always willing to discuss issues and I've passed your comments directly to senior management in this case.
Pennies were fantastic at helping our son settle in. He’s been there for a year now and has made some lovely friends and has a strong bond with some of the staff. They’re a lovely team and always welcome him with a big smile

This is my son's second year at Pennies Day Nursery and he has just excelled in all development stages thanks to the team at Pennies. He loves the home-cooked meals prepared in-house and he has made some really lovely friends. I would recommend Pennies Nursery to anyone looking for a safe, playful and reliable setting for their child.
Really look no further.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us. It's always helpful for our team when reviews highlight particular things that are valued by families (like the home-cooked meals and the lovely friends your son has made). It helps us to know the things we do are making a positive difference.
Lovely staff - firm, encouraging, fun and friendly. Everything you'd want in a childcare setting. The outdoor space is just fab and the kids are out there in all weather unless they don't want to go out. We've used Pennies for about 3 years and recommend it to everyone that listens.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We appreciate reviews from people who have been with us for years and really appreciate the range of things we offer, including all the time spent outside. We'll keep working to provide "Everything you'd want."

Pennies Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery, my daughter has been going since she was a year old and her speech and confidence has grown and grown. She’s made friends and has such an amazing relationship with the staff there and her key worker. She’s learns something new every day and is coming on leaps and bounds. They play outside a lot which I think is extremely important for kids. I couldn’t fault Pennies one bit and would happily recommend them to any family.
We really appreciate the time you have taken to write such a comprehensive review and the attention to detail. We work hard to ensure all areas (both the spaces we use and the different things we do) contribute to each child growing, learning and enjoying their days and a review like this helps us understand when we make a difference.

My childcare career began 10 years ago when I started working in the Mark Cross setting. There, I gained my Level 3 qualification in 2010, in which I developed my experience in becoming the Under Two’s Supervisor before being promoted as the Deputy Manager of this nursery.
When Pennies took over the company, I received the great privilege to be able to lead such a good team of childcare practitioners. In continuing my personal aspirations and being an active learner, I keep up to date with all childcare issues and have, since being Manager, completed a variety of management training courses.

I began my childcare journey in 2007, leading to completing my NVQ Level 3 in Childcare, learning and development in 2009 whilst working with young children. I have worked in a variety of roles during my career, therefore developing my role as a leader. I joined Pennies in July 2017 and I love being within a positive and inspiring team!
I work in the office but still on the nursery floor to support staff, children and parents. I completed my Foundation Degree in July 2019, and remain to be a consistent active learner throughout my childcare career, in addition to being one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads.
