Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest son had a wonderful three years at Pobl Bach, so I didn't hesitate to send my youngest there. The staff there are so nurturing and he is as happy to go to them as to anyone in his family! I receive regular photos and keepsakes which provide an insight into the engaging activities he takes
part in each day. (Before Covid-19) My first son regularly went on outings: to the park and toddler swimming lessons, as well as seeing visitors at the nursery, including a nurse and a police officer. His experience was even further enriched by these activities and I look forward to my younger son being able to benefit from similar experiences in addition to fantastic every-day care.

My child is in the preschool area. I have noticed that his language, counting and social skills have all improved and I'm sure that this will prepare him well for starting school. He has a good relationship with the staff and other children. This month we have been doing potty training and the staff
have been very supportive which has helped with consistency.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A friendly, caring, family orientated setting. The staff put my mind at ease immediately. My children receive the highest standards of care along with enriching activities and educational experiences at Pobl Bach, and most importantly they are happy. Being a mum that finds it very difficult to trust
anyone to care for my children, I count myself very lucky to have the services of Pobl Bach available to me. We love being part of their family. Don't hesitate to give them a visit, you will not be disappointed.

We have used Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) for around eight months now and are always happy with the service provided. The app that the nursery uses is great and really puts you as a parent at ease, with the regular updates on how your child is getting on and what they’ve been up to. My son is always
happy arriving and leaving which can only be a testament to the great work that all the staff do at Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown). Highly recommend.

Both my children have attended Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown). My older child actually asked if his sister would be going because he enjoyed it so much! The team are all really friendly and supportive. I've seen the development of my children grow whilst attending and they always leave happy and content.
Thank you everyone at Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown).

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) have looked after my child from nine months old. Each unit have provided an excellent level of care and patience throughout our time in Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown). My work patterns have changed several times over the years and our requests have always been accommodated
without making us feel that we were being a pain! We have been kept in the loop throughout the years on progress, development, eating and everything we would like to know about. There's a real family feel and we know our child will be sad to finish when the time comes. Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) have been fantastic through the pandemic, from both management and the staff. They have made sure that they get things in line with all of the new safety measures and make the children feel at ease while wearing masks. I would definitely recommend Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown).

My son has attended Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) for around nine months. He is very happy there, always keen to run in during morning drop off and is always happy at the end of the day. The staff provide regular updates during the day, of my sons progress and they provide varied activities as part
of his development. I’d highly recommend Pobl Bach Nursery (Johnstown) and look forward to sending our next child.

My son has been at nursery since he was six months old and is now currently three and a half. He loves attending nursery and loves the staff. I can’t thank the girls enough for their work. He has come forward in leaps and bounds.
