Puffins at Clystheath

Amazing childcare providers, highly recommend to anyone thinking of sending their children here.

Since joining Nursery my son has developed in so many ways. He is more confident and balanced and looks forward to going into nursery every day.

Have had 2 girls at the nursery for the last 4 years and when the youngest leaves in July I will truly miss popping in twice a week to see the lovely staff and I know my daughter will be sad to leave. Both girls developed socially and intellectually in their time at the setting and bonded very well with all the staff whose caring attitude is unwavering.

I have been so happy with this nursery preschool. The staff are friendly, approachable and professional. The varied activities and learning are very good. Overall I feel this nursery is excellent and would definitely recommend.

Ofsted rating of outstanding is completely well deserved - we would not go anywhere else!

Only nursery that I wanted to send my 19month old to. The nursery recently received Outstanding from Ofsted but it has always been a recommended nursery between my friends and family. Their activities are always fun and inviting and it took my daughter around 2 weeks to fully settle and separate from us happily in the mornings, after previously never leaving her for longer than an hour or two with family. The staff are all very welcoming and as it is an open plan nursery she now knows and is familiar with most of the staff which I'm sure will make transitions throughout the rooms much easier for her and myself.

My child has been at Puffins at Clystheath for just two months now and is really enjoying it. I so much prefer this nursery to his old nursery which he had been there for four years. He is outside a lot more now and has been made very welcome there.

My daughter only started at Puffins this month but she has already settled so well. She is always excited to go each morning and talks very fondly of nursery and the staff when she returns home. I love picking her up and hearing daily updates of what she has been doing and she is always very happy when I collect her. I would definitely recommend Puffins to my family and friends.

The key workers are lovely, so far I have no complaints at all!

My son loves Puffins at Clystheath and we always get great feedback from his key workers to say how happy he is throughout the day. We know he is happy and I feel confident that we are leaving him with people that really care about him.

Overall great nursery. Staff are very friendly and my little boy has settled very well here.

I would make one comment regarding nappy changing and that is that his vest poppers are rarely all done up, only the middle popper. Whilst I appreciate that the staff are busy, and children don't often lay still, this causes my little boys vest to drag to one side and cut up into the nappy and also puts stress on the vests making them wear unnecessarily.

We have been absolutely delighted with the level of care at Puffins. The staff have developed close and trusting relationships with our son, and he talks about the girls and the setting fondly. For us, that has been the most important thing, along with the provision of a variety of activities every day. We would certainly recommend Puffins to anyone looking for a local childcare provider.

Very impressed with this nursery and the level of care given to each child. An excellent environment and I have left my daughter here with confidence since the start. The staff are friendly and welcoming and clearly enjoy looking after the children. The parent zone web tool used to communicate with parents is impressive and works very well. Much easier than paper/books. My only suggestion is that information is correctly entered on the parent zone e.g. vegetarian meals entered where applicable.

Thanks for providing such a good service!
