I have used Childsplay since my eldest daughter was 4 1/2 months old, my son and younger daughter also went. I love this nursery, the staff are so lovely. I wouldn't want to send them anywhere else and would recommend them to anyone. My youngest is 2 and I will hopefully be sending her too. Well done Childsplay, keep up the good work.
My daughter has been attending Childsplay for just over 2 years, starting in the 0-2 years room (Snowdrops) currently in the 2-3 yrs room (Buttercups) and will be moving up to the pre-school rooms (Sunflowers) next month. She has loved her time there and adores all the staff. Each group have been (and are) wonderful. We are so grateful to them for taking such good care of her - it was so hard to go back to work and not be constantly with her but they took all the worry away. They really are wonderfully brilliant. She has developed and grown up so much under their guidance. Childsplay rock.
My Daughter started at Child's Play in February 2016 I was so pleased with how well she settled and how much interest the staff show in her. She is loving nursery and often brings home pictures she has done while at nursery. I cant praise the staff highly enough my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds since starting here. Would recommend to anybody.
Now my son attends Childsplay (baby room) 3 days a week. The quality of care he receives is excellent. They keep me informed of his progress throughout the day via text message. I am most impressed by the food provided as it is all home made on the premises. What more could a parent want than knowing your child is spending their day in a home-from-home? The staff in the baby room are friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. They have made the move from China easy to manage because of their care and attention.
My daughter has been at this nursery for over 2 years and still present. I am very pleased at how much she has progressed. The nursery is very well presented and maintained. We are given monthly news letters of what the children will be learning about that month. The level of teaching is brilliant as children learn inside the nursery and are taken outside to learn things too. E.g park, librarys, train and fire stations and many more. I am always comfortable speaking to the teachers about my child and if i have any concerns about anything they are very helpful. My daughter loves going to nursery and tells me a lot of good things when we get back home. I would recommend this nursery to all my friends and family with young children. Also my son will be starting at this nursery this month i am more than excited to see him progress and make lots of friends here too. Thank you to childsplay.
This is a wonderful nursery. The staff are amazing very friendly and welcoming, both my daughters love going. They are very hands on with the children always doing very good activities. Always a good food menu for them and the nursery is very clean.
My daughter attended Childsplay from being 2 years old until she was 3 and half and I have nothing but praise for the team. When she first started she was a very shy young girl and it took her a long time to settle but the staff were amazing with her and by the time she left to start school she had grown so much and gained so much confidence which helped her settle into her new school with no problems. She had a good relationship with staff and does say she misses them but she does still see them now occasionally as her younger brother now attends Childsplay. I would and have recomended the nursery to friends and family. The staff always have smiles on their faces and always make you feel welcome and comfartble. There a fab team.
My second child now attends Childs Play and the staff have always been excellent with both my children. They have good teams in place in all the rooms and have always and continue to take excellent care of my children.
My little girl has been attending for 12 months now and the staff are amazing! She suffers from multiple allergies and the staff at nursery have gone out of their way to ensure that she always has safe meals to eat and that any baking activities are tailored so that she can join in safely. They regularly go on walks to the local park which she enjoys and always comes home telling me about all of the fun things that they have been doing.
In the 12 months that she has been at nursery her letter sounds and letter formation have improved imensley as have her counting skills all thanks to the hard work of the staff.
They have been great in helping me to wean her and offered me advice on things im unsure of. Thanks for making go back to work so easy.
My son has been going to Childsplay Nursery since he was a baby. He was a difficult baby with lactose intolerance and the staff bent over backwards to help him. He has moved up through the rooms and each have been amazing with him. All the staff have worked wonders with him. He loves going to nursery and has forged some strong bonds with some of the staff that have helped to look after him. He will really miss going when he starts school. The work the staff do with the kids is amazing and my son has come on leaps and bounds with his counting and phonics and writing - all down to the nursery staff. I cant praise them highly enough. It is going to be a hard decision to take him out for school. The staff are very friendly and take the time to talk to you whenever you see them.
