Puffins at Sowton

Our daughter attended the nursery since she was 9 months old and is now 2.5 yrs. She absolutely loved it, the staff are so friendly and they build brilliant relationships with the children. They are really flexible and professional, especially in these unusual times. Thank you so much Puffins - highly recommend.

Excellent nursery! My daughter has just left to go to school, but she attended for almost 4-years. The staff are exemplary, full of creative ideas and very approachable to both children and parents. The children are always doing exciting and interesting things, experimenting and learning lots through creative play. My daughter spent a lot of time outside, learning about nature and playing in the mud kitchen! She always came home happy, full of stories of all the fun she'd had. We'll miss it now she's at school!

My son has been going to puffins since he was 5 months old and is now two. I have always had full confidence in the staff and their skills and they really take the time to get to know the children and their personality. My son really enjoys going to nursery and talks about his time there, he particularly enjoys his time spent in the garden.

This is a small setting, but it is really lovely. The staff are warm and friendly. I like the fact that this is a child lead setting because it stimulates learning, teamwork and play. My daughter gets excited when I drop her off and she has lots of exciting things to say when I pick her up. She is happy and I wouldn't ask for anything else for a 2-year-old. Thank you for everything Puffins!

Very adaptable nursery to individual childs needs especially dietary. Very accommodative to my daughter's food allergies/tolerances and they review them regularly to check if still all appropriate as we are reintroducing food to her. All the food is cooked fresh on site daily.

Children are happy at the setting as it is small enough for a child to know everyone and their roles, chef, cleaner, managers. Our daughter made long lasting friends and bonded with all her key carers through the years Puffins Sowton will always have a place in our memory.

This nursery is excellent. The staff are so understanding and accommodating. The environment is colourful and exciting. They have a lovely garden that the children love and get to play in regularly. Amazing place. We have used this nursery for 2 years and I’d thoroughly recommend them.

Children also get to go on mini excursions every now and then in the local area.

My daughter has been attending the setting for almost a year now. She enjoys her time at the setting and has good relationships with the practitioners. They support her development really well with the new planning system.
