Playdays Day Nursery

for the first month or so but we'll gloss over that). The opening hours (0645-1800) are the best I know of for parents who work shifts and they will accommodate shift changes whenever possible. I can recall only 1 or 2 occasions where they couldn't make it work, even when asked last minute!

My eldest daughter's school teacher spoke incredibly highly of the handover report she received from Playdays Nursery. Commenting on how much the education she received at Playdays was evident during her first school year (when compared to other lesser nurseries).

In short, cancel any visits you have to look round other nurseries. You'll be wasting your time!! :-)

be flexible to my often changing shift pattern and to accommodate us where they could.
My daughter loved the outside environment and the messy play the staff would arrange. I appreciated all the mementoes that she would bring home and how she was familiar with the staff, she would put her arms out to go to them in the morning. They were happy for me to ring and drop in whenever I wished to (often in the early months).
My daughter has a severe milk allergy and the catering team were able to fully accommodate this, there was never any incidents of cross-contamination or accidents.

really well. I was really pleased I kept him at Playdays instead of sending him to school nursery as they were able to provide a more caring environment than I think he would have received in his school nursery.

to grow and develop!
Both of the children have truly flourished whilst at nursery… the new nursery has a lot to live up to (only moving due to change of job/location)!!

have developed in many aspects with the help of the staff at Playdays such as speech and language, interaction, fun but learning activities. They are allowed to have lots of messy play. I love this nursery and chose to keep my child here rather than school nursery and will do so with my younger one.

enjoyed attending the nursery. Both my children are either in school now or starting school nursery in September but I will genuinely miss Playdays Day Nursery as it has been such a lovely part of our lives. I would recommend the nursery to everyone.

1 month of wobbles regarding leaving us, she has loved her time here. She always comes home looking worn out, but very happy.

My husband and are are very happy with the care and tuition she has received and would recommend the nursery to family and friends in a similar situation.

job requires, and not have to be concerned with her wellbeing.
The nursery appears to be clean, it has plenty of toys, learning stations, books, and most importantly free play for the children. The topics of learning are age appropriate.
Any health issues that have occurred the staff have contacted me straight away, they have dealt with any issues I've had respectfully and sympathetically.
My daughter has been very happy here and I know she is sad to be leaving, and that is down to the friendly staff. I would and do recommend Playdays nursery & would use it again should the need arise.
The only area that I feel could be better is the food. It was better before the current contractors took over.

are very clean. Overall I would say excellent staff, clean environment and I never once worried about leaving my girls here as I knew they were being cared for well.

of the girls in there. I've got great peace of mind leaving my son there whilst I work. Always been told about accidents, I've never had any problems with the nappy changing situation! Always have his messages when I've picked them up and a good idea of what they've been up to during the day. Learning is great I can't believe how much both of my kids have come on since attending, my little boy now comes home singing songs he's learnt etc and counting. (He turns 2 in sept) it's all good interaction with other kids too. My little girl went into school nursery no problem,I think Playdays had a big part to play in that getting her ready for growing up and moving on. Would recommend to anyone!

my working day, at a rate I feel is value for money. Both my children have enjoyed this experience and made invaluable memories we can cherish forever. Upon leaving a keepsake learning journey is given which gave us an insight into their learning through play approach!

her on in leaps and bounds. At the end of a nursery day my daughter is very keen to tell me what she has been learning about. I've been kept updated on her progress regularly with parents evenings and by bringing her progress folder home and can see that they have provided her with more than the necessary developmental skills to help her on her way to school life and that they have helped her to achieve her EYFS targets. The staff at Playdays are all lovely and I think it's safe to say that my little girl and I will miss them all when she leaves. Thank you Playdays Team, we think you're all amazing :-)

whilst communicating with my husband and myself if there were any concerns that were making our children unhappy. I find the staff approachable and wanting the same outcome for our children, happy children who are continuing to develop. Both my children are doing really well.

the staff who helped him develop so far. From his diary I can see that he participates in a variety of daily activities and really enjoys his meal times and the variety of food that is offered to him. Keep up the great work. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

my child up. We also enjoy the extra arts and crafts around mothers and fathers day (which I know other nurseries do not partake in). The nursery is also flexible with regard to my short notice shift changes.
When I ask my little girl if she is happy, or what she has done in the day, she is always smiling and positive.
There is nothing I could advise them to improve on. Keep up the good work.

training and showed lots of perseverance with him, even though I was close to giving up!
Nursery is very large and has different rooms for each age stage that your child goes through. Lots of activities take place including messy play and outdoor play.
My little girl starts in August and I don't have a worry in the world as I know she will be very well cared for whilst I am gone.
Would definitely recommend!

staff sit /sing with the children and lots of books and musical instruments to play with and learn from. My child has come on in leaps & bounds since attending, both developmentally & socially. He is a TERRIBLE sleeper & they accommodated all my wishes in regards to putting him to bed etc. I have a breakdown of activities, nappy changes, amount of food and milk drank etc. The times I have asked for more nappy changes due to teething etc this has been done. I can visit or ring at any time. My boy always smiles on arrival and is happy and content when I pick him up. All in all a very good nursery with lovely staff. Only downside is they need more outside space but that is down to location.

definitely recommend it. Thanks so much for looking after my son while I'm at work, which I know he's in safe hands.
