Fantastic nursery. Both my children have attended here in the past and now. Never had issues. Staff are friendly, caring and there to support your child and yourself. Highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Swapna B (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have had a great experience with Playdays Nursery. Our child started going there last year in February (2021) and when he first started he struggled a bit at the beginning like any other child who goes to school the first time. But staff at Playdays helped him with the transition. They provided us with a few settling-in days (more than other nurseries usually provide) and it was really helpful. And last year in October we went to India for 5 weeks, and when we came back, he was promoted to the higher class, and they again helped him with his transition.

I am very pleased with the staff, they provide us with all the information when we pick him up in the evening, they keep us posted with any changes at Nursery, any Covid-19 cases, or anything else important. Activity updates are also regularly sent to us by email, or available on their Facebook page. We are overall very satisfied. And we hope they keep doing the amazing job that they are already doing.

Review from A P (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has now been in three of the rooms at Playdays and has enjoyed each one. The staff are friendly, approachable and caring. At the end of the day you get a breakdown of your child’s day which is helpful and every few weeks your child participates in a “focus week” to concentrate on any areas of development. There is also an electronic workbook to upload pictures, however, this is not used as often. The office staff are always at hand to answer any queries quickly and efficiently. I would recommend Playdays to any prospective new parents.

My child loves going to nursery here he, has come on leaps and bounds since attending. My child is currently on the speech therapist waiting list but has improved massively and I think that's all down to the staff and team at Playdays.

I have always found the staff welcoming and accommodating. They spend time with you at the end of the day telling you what your child has done and eaten. I haven't had much feedback/photos in the electronic workbook.

Overall Experience

From the moment we walked into Playdays we immediately felt a warm welcome by all members of staff! My daughter has loved every day she has spent at Playdays, the staff are so interested and caring towards all children and have their best interests at heart. The staff are so informative when they tell you about your child’s day it makes you feel very positive and comfortable knowing your child is well looked after. I will be highly recommending Playdays to any new parents looking for a nursery!

Review from Donna L (Mother of Child) published on 18 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attended the nursery almost 10 years ago and I loved it then. It was the first place I considered when I had my daughter so that when it came time to choosing a nursery I revisited and it was lovely to see a lot of the same staff still working there. The environment and setting for the children to learn is fantastic. I have always loved the fact that there are clear departments within the nursery and I know by name who I can speak to, to discuss anything. There are clear goals for the children to achieve, very effective communication from all staff, a lovely nurturing environment and most importantly my daughter loves it. To the point that every time she is dropped off, she runs into the nursery without a look back. I know that my child is well looked after and I feel so content knowing that they know her and her personality. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

This is a lovely friendly and child-centred nursery. My child has improved immensely over the time spent at nursery. She is now far more educationally and socially advanced for her age and loves going to nursery.

Overall Experience

All the staff at Playdays are amazing! They welcome all the children with open arms and form bonds that are hard to break! They work so hard to make sure all the kids are well looked after and have everything they need. They work with the parents so that you know what your child has done, eaten, slept all for the day they are there. It's a brilliant nursery and I'm glad I chose this one for my little boy.

Review from Hazel S (Mother of Child) published on 17 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Playdays is a fantastic nursery with warm and welcoming professional staff. Throughout the time our children spent there they were immersed in a happy, safe and positive environment, with a constant stream of diverse, engaging and fun activities. It was very clear that each day was carefully structured to aid their development. Staff truly went the extra mile, putting on special events for mothers' and fathers' days, nativity and graduation. Playdays provided the perfect learning foundations to allow our children to grow and prepare them for 'big school'. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Overall Experience

The culture and ethos at Playdays is fabulous. The kids are very much encouraged to find their own interests and learn about those things. The staff are very warm, friendly and nurturing. My little boy has flourished during his time at nursery. One of my other favourite aspects is the fantastic outdoor space available to the kids to explore in. I really can’t recommend the nursery enough.

Review from Emily B (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Playdays is a lovely nursery and I'm so happy that both of my little boys attend. The rooms are beautifully set up for the children and all of the teachers and nursery staff are so kind and friendly - they know all of the children not just by name but by personality too. The transitions to each room have been handled perfectly, especially for more sensitive children. The nursery use an app where they upload photos and comments on what your children have been doing and it's refreshing as the comments always completely reflect my children and their current interests and it just makes me really happy knowing that my children are happy.

I love the fact that the nursery really makes the most of natural resources; yes there are toys but I really like that the teachers will make an activity out of a discarded cardboard box as an example. My two little boys absolutely love being outside whatever the weather and I definitely think this is down to the nursery.

Overall Experience

The girls who work here are all excellent, you can see their compassion and caring nature. They genuinely care for all the children as they would their own. I feel confident my little boy is safe and happy when he is at nursery. I would recommend Playdays to anyone who is asking for a nursery in the area. The 7 am early starts option is something we take advantage of as shift workers, this makes getting our little boy to nursery before we are due to start to work much easier. Thank you for being so caring and helping to make our little boy as confident and social as he is.

My daughter has attended Playdays since she was 9 months old. The staff are amazing. I can’t fault a thing. The staff care so much about the children and there is a true family feel, nurturing and helping them to grow into well mannered, sociable, skilled children. The staff are so friendly and approachable and from day one I felt my daughter was safe in their care. My daughter has loved her time at Playdays and will miss all the staff immensely. Thank you for everything!

My daughter absolutely loves attending Playdays. The staff are so caring and look after each child as if they were their own. My daughter doesn’t even look back at me when I drop her off in the morning and she is always so excited when she realises we are pulling up to nursery. I would definitely recommend Playdays to anyone who is looking for a nursery for their child.

The most amazing nursery! Our son has come on leaps and bounds since attending Playdays, he has the best time every day and gets up to all sorts of fun activities with his friends. All the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and know your child's name even if they do not directly look after them. My second son will also be attending after maternity leave and I have no worries about sending him as I know he will be well looked after. 10/10 for Playdays!

Review from Jonathan (Father of Child) published on 12 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We used Playdays with our first child from 2010 through to 2014, and he still raves now about how much he loved it there. When our second son arrived, we were too late in securing a space in the baby room at Playdays, so had to settle for what was regarded as another ‘outstanding’ nursery in the area. I’m here to report that no matter the rating of any other nursery in the area, they will not care for your child as much as the team do at Playdays. After a mistreated ten months, now our youngest is at Playdays, he is back on track with his speech and wakes up in excitement to go and see his friends and key worker, which is a stark contrast to him crying every morning. Both of our sons have/are excelling as a result of the excellent work that the teams do at Playdays. Whenever we have any questions about sessions or development, the room leaders are always there to help. The office staff are also amazing at what they do and really go above and beyond. An amazingly passionate bunch.
