Great nursery. My son went here from 8 months old and loved it. He only left the nursery as we moved away. Great staff and key workers. My son has really come along with his learning and life experiences being here.

We really appreciate the chance to read a review from a family who have seen a child through the nursery to the point of moving on - it's also helpful for us when such reviews are available on this site. We wish you well in the future.

Since starting at Pennies at Mark Cross, our son has gone from strength to strength. He loves going in to see his friends (both big and little!) and afterwards loves telling us all about his adventures that day. Myself and my wife never have to worry about him in Pennies because we know how dedicated the staff are and how much they care about the children they look after. We are very lucky to have found such an amazing nursery. Thank you all!
Thank you so much for posting a review that paints a really clear picture of your son's days with us. It matters to staff to read such comments.

Pennies is a lovely nursery and my daughter really enjoys her time there. Her key workers have been brilliant and we feel really supported and informed about all the things she gets up to by them and all the staff. She's always happy when she comes home and gets to do lots of different activities and lots of outside time too. Thank you.
Thank you for a review that draws attention to different things your daughter enjoys - including the time in our garden. We work hard to make all aspects of our childcare the best they can be, so it's encouraging for everyone concerned when a review highlights that.
Pennies Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery - Both my sons (1 and 3) plus their cousin (also 3) are very happy at Pennies Day Nursery and are developing well there.

Pennies Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery - Both my sons (1 and 3) plus their cousin (also 3) are very happy at Pennies Day Nursery and are developing well there. My 3-year-old is at the pre-school and loves having tennis lessons and going out in the garden. The manager and her team go that extra mile, for example, if it’s raining and I’m struggling to get the boys in the car, a staff member will give me a hand (definitely not in the job description!). The staff really makes Pennies Day Nursery what it is. They do fun activities especially around the seasons - my son came home with a shoebox of Christmas crafts last December, he was so proud of what he’d made. Very happy with Pennies Day Nursery.

I don’t know where to start, My little one is so incredibly happy she is currently in the baby room and absolutely loves the practitioners that work in there. She is always so happy to be left if she could push me out of the door she would! The girls have followed her routine perfectly, the communication is excellent and they always have a friendly smile when they greet you in the mornings. Thank you to every single one of the girls at the nursery, including management that has settled her in great, I cannot thank you all enough.
Every...
Every session she attends there is an effort made to create new, varied and fun activities, even in the baby room, and she is often playing and having fun in their fantastic garden. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pennies. Even though it is a drive away from where we live and there are more local nurseries available, it is well worth the journey.

They do everything possible to make sure you and your child are happy and provide excellent care - brilliant for a teary first-time mum. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Pennies team.
Simply excellent, a clean friendly environment that my daughter (aged 9) loves. Loads to do always and whenever I pick up there are loads of smiles!

The smiles spread to our staff when we read a review like this, thank you very much for sharing it!

Pennies have been very flexible to cater for my needs in looking after my son. They also help with dietary needs which have been challenging at times. I appreciate the service Pennies have given me in the past. Email communication is really good, which means you can rely on a contact method when necessary.
Thank you for posting this review and taking time to comment on a range of the things we do. Areas like looking after dietary needs are always a challenge in childcare and it's great to know when we get these details right.
Pennies! I honestly can’t speak highly enough of this nursery. You have gone above and beyond to provide a clean, safe and secure setting for my daughter to start her learning journey.

Pennies! I honestly can’t speak highly enough of this nursery. You have gone above and beyond to provide a clean, safe and secure setting for my daughter to start her learning journey. You have been so supportive to me as a parent too, keeping me informed every step of the way and making this step as a parent as smooth as possible. The range of activities is just fantastic and the time put into them is next to none. Thank you so much for your committed dedication to all aspects of this nursery. Couldn’t ask for a more lovely and safe place to leave my child.
Thank you so much for such a positve review. We work hard to make sure every child is cared for as they would be in a family and when we read something like "Couldn’t ask for a more lovely and safe place to leave my child," it's a real boost for everyone involved at Mark Cross.
My Grandson is almost 3 and he loves it at Pennies. The staff are all very friendly and they take time to tell me what he's been up to, and he particularly likes the homemade lunch which he very often has seconds.

Thank you for such a positive review - it's always pleasing to get a good review from a grandparent; and good that we have family members like grandparents involved with our nurseries.
When the children have off days and go in with tears the...
The children enjoy playing with a variety of toys and have made some firm friendships with other children. The children have been encouraged to grow and learn new things at their own pace. Our children have been given the chance to do drama and tennis, which they have enjoyed.
Thank you for such a detailed review - it's a real boost for our staff to see recognition for the little things they do; like dealing with the children when they are upset.
We are delighted with Pennies and cannot believe how well our daughter has settled in. She had major stranger anxiety issues when she first started settling in at 7 months and I was seriously doubting that she would ever calm down enough to be left there. However, two members of staff, in...
She is now 10 months old and attends Pennies for one day a week, yet is as happy there as she is when she is with her grandparents the other four days a week, which I think is a testament to how family-like it is. I'm a teacher and thus have school holidays off, yet I still send her into nursery for her one day a week even when I'm off because I think she'd miss these staff members too much otherwise!
Thank you so much for this detailed review and in particular the "family-like" comment. That's the standard of care we aim for and it's very rewarding for our staff to see reviews that acknowledge us reaching that standard.
From the staff to the food and care I can’t fault them. So accommodating when my little girl was settling in and went above and beyond to make it as easy and stress-free as possible!

Thank you for taking the time to review us - it really boosts all of our staff when people recognise the efforts that we put in.

That care and attention he receives has continued and I am in no doubt that his development has been greatly enhanced by the fabulous support he receives when at Pennies.
Thank you so much for this review. More than anything the fact families with children at Pennies recognize our staff, being engaged is a real boost to those staff, making them feel valued for the work they do.
A brilliant nursery, with fabulous staff! My child loves the nursery and the friends he has made there. Lots of great daily activities and learning (phonics at age 3) and brilliant holiday club for my other child (Pennies Kids Club Day trips are excellent, she loves them!). Would definitely...

Lots of great daily activities and learning (phonics at age 3) and brilliant holiday club for my other child (Pennies Kids Club Day trips are excellent, she loves them!). Would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you for discussing the nursery and the clubs; it's useful for potential customers to see that we can accommodate families with children at different stages. We appreciate your kind words.
Everyone at Pennies has been amazing. So accommodating with my son's transition into nursery. The staff are so kind and caring.

Our son has been attending Pennies for the last two months in the babies group and has absolutely loved his time there. It's clear his development has come on leaps and bounds following all the care and attention by staff - from learning to use cutlery to crawling and starting to stand up. Every morning he is so excited to go in and we very rarely have a difficult goodbye as he is just so pleased to be surrounded by friendly, familiar faces and the expectation of an exciting day ahead. Great to know they also offer him a really varied diet. He loves food and so it is reassuring to know he has access to a wide range of healthy food choices at such a young age. Fabulous staff who really care about his well-being and development. Highly recommended nursery.
Thank you for the detailed review. It's important that parents are involved in all aspects of what we do and we really appreciate the detailed feedback that pays attention to little things like learning to use cutlery.
Our son has been going to Pennies since he was 9 months old. We looked around other settings but knew straight away that we wanted him to go here. The staff are so genuinely lovely and friendly, the setting itself is welcoming and not too overwhelming for the little ones. I love how much my son...
Our son has been going to Pennies since he was 9 months old. We looked around other settings but knew straight away that we wanted him to go here. The staff are so genuinely lovely and friendly, the setting itself is welcoming and not too overwhelming for the little ones. I love how much my son learns whilst he is there and have 100% confidence that he is well cared for.
Thank you so much for those kind words and for mentioning so many of the things we do, staff, facilities etc. We really appreciate it.

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.
