Puffins at Clystheath

I have a 2-year old that we send to Puffins at Clystheath. Prior to there she went to a different local nursery and cried every day going in.

From the first day in Puffins, she has become a different child. Her learning, social skills and overall confidence has come on leaps and bounds.

The staff are excellent and I cannot recommend enough!

I can't recommend Puffins Clyst Heath enough. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and inspire confidence that your children are in good care. We chose Puffins before they received their Ofsted outstanding rating as the setting had a great atmosphere and felt like a great environment for our little ones. We were really chuffed for them when they achieved the well-deserved accolade. Regular parents evenings keep us well informed of their progress as does their online learning diary. Our eldest has just left after attending from nine months to nearly five and always looked forward to his days there. Our one year old now attends two days a week and seems to enjoy it just as much as his big brother did.

Puffins is a fantastic nursery. My son was extremely happy and being at Puffins has helped equip him for school.

A beautiful setting, my two children have gone to this nursery and loved it. The staff are incredible and have always been amazing in helping with any process change or transitions when growing up. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. They all go above and beyond and I couldn’t thank them enough for the wonderful job they do.

Puffins are a great provider of childcare and our son, throughout enjoyed his time there. The activities were great, and he loved the little trips out.

We have had three children who have used Puffins over the last ten years and have been impressed by the commitment, warmth and care given to our children.

Both of my children have attended Puffins at Clystheath and I couldn't recommend the setting enough. My oldest has now moved to school and is thriving thanks to the help from the manager and her team. My youngest is currently in the baby room and is doing amazing. All the staff members are friendly and enthusiastic about the welfare of the children, nothing is too much trouble.

My son has attended Puffins at Clystheath since he was 7 months old. The baby room have since been great with him. His key worker is very informative and caring, I feel at ease leaving him in the baby room's care. They go out into the garden daily and always have a wide range of toys and activities accessible. Everyone in the room always seems to know how my son's day has gone and about his development. Since starting at the nursery, he has become very confident and enjoys going. The menu is varied and he now loves a wide variety of foods.

Both my children attend Puffins and really enjoy their days there. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we may have. The office staff also are quick to respond to queries. All staff appear to be there to help the children grow. I highly recommend this nursery.

Puffins Clyst Heath has been great from the beginning. All the staff have been welcoming and professional. It’s been a huge change taking my daughter to nursery for half the week but Clyst H have made it easy and I’m confident my daughter is in the right place.

My daughter started here in September, the staff have been so great at helping her to settle in, I wasn't too worried about her first whole day. It's nice as well that they visit you. Compared to reviews, I've heard of other nurseries and they definitely seem to be the best. So far she's only been there for one full day but I couldn't be happier so far.

Great nursery, lovely people, my son has had the best time at Puffins, not one problem, would and have already recommended to people.

MY daughter has been with Puffins of Clyst heath for approx 3 weeks now and I am very happy with her progress and that of all the staff there, settling in has been handled with true professionalism and much thought from the staff that work there. I would highly recommend to any parent thinking of using this fantastic nursery.

The staff at Clystheath are amazing! My son is loving going to nursery and always comes home really happy which is all I could ever hope for as a mother. The nursery is also extremely flexible with changes to the schedule which is so helpful! Thank you all very much.

My daughter loves going to nursery. She quickly slotted in and has bonded well with staff. She enjoys the free flow of activities, and the level of independence encouraged, such as going to the loo alone. Best of all, given the small inside space, is the fabulous garden, which the children are out in almost every day. I also like the focus on messy play and textually innovative ways of learning. The manager runs a well organised and innovative nursery, and I am happy to recommend highly.

He's been there a month now, made new friends and grown very close to all the staff. I am looking forward to him enjoying his last year of nursery with such lovely staff.

My two children attend the Clystheath setting and have both settled in really well and seem to really enjoy their time there. It's a great opportunity for them to mix with others and learn in preparation for their futures.

Both my children are always happy to attend nursery and always happy when they are being collected. The girls are always friendly and welcoming. I've already recommended the nursery to several of my friends.

Great friendly nursery, wonderful staff and atmosphere. My little girl is so happy here - 3rd time lucky for us! Lots of different activities, nice outside space and nice healthy food.

My son has been very happy at the nursery for nearly 3 years. The staff at all levels have always welcomed him and taken the trouble to relate to him on an individual level. The open plan nature of the nursery space means that children are well known to, and well aware of, the staff in other age groups. This helps with settling in as they move up in age groups.

Although I have always been happy with the provision of care, recent changes have seen a significant improvement in the organisation of the nursery and information provided to parents.

The nursery setting may not suit a very quiet, reserved child because of the open plan space but my outgoing child has always found the level of interaction between the other children and members of staff to be very enjoyable.
