Our daughter has attended Childs Play for a few months now and her growth and development in that time has been absolutely amazing. Every member of staff is a huge credit to the nursery, everybody is so friendly and welcoming. The care our daughter receives is second to none, and communication from the nursery is amazing, which is so reassuring when you're nervous about sending them in at first. Our daughter has an allergy which is catered for and dealt with amazingly well. I couldn't recommend Childs Play enough!
Brilliant nursery my son has been going for 5 months now and his eyes light up with excitement when he sees the building. This is my second child to attend child's play, the staff and facilities are amazing. The progress he has made and social skills he's developed just proves this is the best nursery for my children. My eldest still attends breakfast and after school club and they both loves the meals prepared. Thank you for all you do
Both my children have attended Childsplay Nursery and the experience we have had has been brilliant. The staff are very personable, friendly and open. My children both took to nursery very well because the care and attention they were given was the same as what they get at home. I feel at ease when my child is at nursery as I know all at Childsplay will keep them safe and happy. I would recommend Childsplay to everyone wanting to send their child to nursery.
Since my little boy has started I have seen a massive improvement in his development all the staff are lovely and understanding I was scared to put my son into a nursery but this nursery has been very welcoming and my son feels like home I am ever so gratefull for him starting there and everything they have done. Made me feel welcome with there big community.
Childsplay is nothing short of a fantastic nursery. They way they have supported our little girl is what you can only dream of as a parent. The staff are absolutely incredible and our little girl loves to come to nursery because of them. Childsplay was recommended to us and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.
Nervous about sending my child to nursery as I've not had to do this before when at work; however, he has settled in well and has progressed really well. If there is an issue, I'm informed straight away, and the team that works with my child are really good and supportive and keeps me updated on his progress. Really enjoy sending him to Childsplay Private Day Nursery.
Both kids benefit greatly. Helped my son walk and always drive and helped my daughter to learn more. Have own cook, fresh, healthy and new things, options for kids. Fun place to be, and lots happening. Thank you.
Excellent nursery, my first daughter started here when she was 8 months old, she is 6 now and still goes to the after-school club, she loves it! My youngest daughter is just 1 and has been attending since she was also 8 months old. She was very unsettled at first due to being a very shy baby and an absolute mummy's girl! The staff did everything they could to help her settle in and feel comfortable and now she absolutely loves it. Never had any issues in the whole six years. The food provided has always been homemade and filling meals, the staff are all lovely and the nursery has everything a baby/child would need. I would highly recommend.
As a parent, you always want to know your child is being cared for to the best possible standard and I have no doubt that all the staff at Childsplay Private Day Nursery have my daughter's best interests at heart and care for her like one of the nursery family. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Childsplay. She's so excited to go every day and always has a great time. She is learning and growing in a warm, friendly, caring, safe and nurturing environment. The staff have taken time to get to know my daughter and know her likes and dislikes. Activities are tailored to the children's interests and any additional support is always given to make sure she succeeds. Couldn't be happier. The food provided is healthy and nutritious and the resources and equipment are great. Staff are always happy to help, with a warm and welcoming approach, if I have any questions or requests relating to her care, I know I will always be listened to and my wishes fulfilled.
An amazing nursery, having my child in lockdown made her have separation anxiety and wouldn’t leave my side but since coming to nursery she has come out of her shell and loves going. She has come on leaps and bounds. She’s made friends and has bonded with the staff. She’s going to miss this place when she starts school.
If it wasn’t for the girls who work here and them going above and beyond, I genuinely feel like going back to work for me wouldn’t be possible.
My children all have the best day at nursery, and the app they use is so useful, especially for new starters when you are anxious. I think I kept checking the app every hour, and having a new update each time was so reassuring.
So happy we choose this nursery - honestly feel so pleased with our choice.
My little boy absolutely loves going to the nursery! He talks about the girls that look after him so much at home and all his little friends. He has come on so much in terms of his speech and learning. Such a brilliant nursery and the staff are all so welcoming and friendly and I trust them 100% with my little boy.
Numerous activities are planned for the children throughout the day to enhance their learning and develop vital skills for a successful life.
My son has benefitted from the social interaction with other babies and it is evident his confidence has grown within weeks.
The staff are the best you could ask for and as a mother, I am confident I have made the right choice for my baby as the nursery is a key element in setting the foundation for his future education.
Thank you.
Amazing staff who really fo go out of their way. As a parent, you always worry about the environment that surrounds your child but my son is all smiles going in and out. The staff also do their best to accommodate your's and your child’s need and they used a great app system to keep a track of what your little one is up to.
Fantastic nursery. My little girl started in September 2020 and settled immediately. She adores the staff within the baby room and loves going to nursery. The management on site are also great; they respond efficiently and effectively and go the extra mile to help.
My son has been attending Child’s Play since he was 9 months old and they have been amazing since day one. After looking round a number of nurseries in the local area that just didn’t feel suitable I was really worried that I wouldn’t find somewhere. Then we visited Child’s Play and I immediately knew it was the right place - the manager made us feel so welcome. The settling in sessions were great and very flexible to make sure both me and my child were happy with the arrangements. The staff are so friendly and approachable and they have been amazing throughout this pandemic. My son has come on leaps and bounds since attending both in the baby room and since moving in to the toddler room. I would recommend Child’s Play to everyone in the local area.
The nursery are extremely understanding and caring, they go the extra mile for the kids there. Always smiling and have helped my 1 year olds development tons by spending the whole day doing mind stimulating but fun activities. Aswell as that they always provide my daughter with meals suitable to her and ensure it’s a balanced diet. Never picked my child up unhappy. The staff are always lovely and provide 10/10 service. A great nursery overall.
I was really apprehensive about putting my daughter into nursery and I had looked around some previous nurseries and I never got that ‘feeling’ other parents tell you about when you know it’s right. As soon as I walked in the front door I knew it was the one for my daughter. First of all the cleanliness is exceptional and the staff have a genuine care for every single child in their care. I had some concerns about my child’s development due to lockdown and Covid but as soon as she started at Childsplay she has come on leaps and bounds, it's incredible. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my daughter. Thank you to the manager and team.
This is a really lovely nursery. It was recommended to us by a number of people before we chose it and we would definitely recommend it to others. All of the staff are kind and caring and are lovely with our daughter. It is clear that they care for her and that she enjoys her time there.
