Great location if working in St Mellons Business Park and would recommend.
Thank you for your kind words. Our key workers are amazing! We have a fantastic team. Thank you.
My daughter absolutely loves Plantos and all the staff. So much so, she runs in through the door every morning and never looks back! Communication with parents is frequent and informative and Plantos are usually very flexible with a request for a change of days.
Thank you for your lovely response. We are very happy that you are content with the communication from us. Thank you!
Superb facility and value for money. My son just loves outdoor time and the outdoor space they have at Plantos Bach is amazing, he’s very happy there. He eats food there that he’d never eat at home. He attends other settings and this is our favourite for many reasons.
That is so nice to hear! Thank you for your lovely comments especially about our menu.
I’d recommend Plantos to anyone. The team know him by his name and he has grown fond of them very quickly.
Thank you! The team of carers are amazing. We will pass on your lovely comments.
Great nursery, the staff are fab. I love how consistent they are and the app is brilliant it provides you with all daily activities and meal times and what they have eaten, nappy changes etc. I love the pictures the most, it really puts my mind at ease when I’m not with my little one. Highly recommend Plantos!
Thank you! We love the app too as it gives you complete peace of mind and all the information from the day!
My son has been attending Plantos since he was about 7 months old. He is now almost two and a half years old and he absolutely loves going there and has made lots of friends. He’s come along so well because of how well the staff teach and interact with him. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your excellent ratings. We really appreciate it.
They have been great at adapting to any needs of my children. The communication is great and love seeing the pictures of what they have been up to and the summaries of their days.
Plantos and their staff are excellent!
Thank you! It is true that the team are amazing. Will pass on your kind comments.
Our daughter has attended the nursery since September, it is clear to see how much the staff and key workers care for her and the attention to detail they pay. I love having the updates and photos come through on the app at the end of the day. They are on the ball with key development skills and give us ways that we can help and support this too, the activities that she gets up too are also fantastic. The menu and the variety of food provided is also really well thought out! I would definitely recommend Plantos.
Thank you so much for your really kind words. They mean a lot to us as a team and will be put up in the staff room shortly! Thank you.
My daughter has just completed her first year at Plantos Nursery. The staff are so welcoming and it is easy to address any queries or questions about my daughter's day at nursery. I like the updates on the app as it provides a good insight into her day and the activities seem endless. I would highly recommend Plantos Nursery to other parents and look forward to seeing how she grows over the next year. Diolch Plantos.
Thank you for your review Charlotte. We will give your feedback to the rooms.
Fantastic nursery where the staff really care about the development of the children. My little one cannot wait to go to nursery each day and doesn't want to leave at home time. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words and for recommending us. We really appreciate it.
Plantos is a fantastic nursery and I feel safe knowing my daughter is in great hands. She receives great support, her development is improving all of the time and it's clear she loves attending. This is her third nursery and it's definitely the happiest she has been. The girls are so attentive, and we love receiving our daily updates and photos. I would recommend Plantos to all.
Thank you for your lovely remarks. We always appreciate feedback! Thank you
Excellent nursery with welcoming and friendly staff. The outdoor space has been developed to a high standard. My child is in the baby room and that is lovely and age-appropriate. The staff are always super helpful and the communication is excellent from the nursery. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We will pass them onto the team. Thank you!
My daughter had a great experience she is very happy with her teachers playing and having cool activities. All the Plantos team are excellent and very patient with the kids, always teaching them new things.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of the nursery. We will share it with the team.
My daughter loves to attend Plantos Nursery. The environment is safe and secure, and I feel confident knowing she is in good hands. There are lots of activities to engage my daughter, including water and messy play; I love to see her photos at the end of the day. The staff are kind and welcoming and always on hand to answer any questions and deal with any concerns.
How wonderful! Thank you so much. It is always lovely to welcome a sibling back to the nursery!
They always take good care of her and make sure she is safe at all times.
Thank you for the lovely review! We will pass it on to the team.
My son absolutely loves coming to Plantos, and he can't wait until he gets to come for an additional day! The staff are always so friendly and always have a smile on their face. The Eylog app allows me to see what my son has been doing and he is always doing a range of activities. I feel so relaxed and comfortable sending my son to Plantos and know he is in great hands for the day! Would definitely recommend Plantos to anyone!
Thank you, Jo, for the lovely review. We love hearing such kind comments and will share them with the entire team.
The staff at Plantos Nursery couldn't be more helpful and kind, being very understanding in making sure my daughter settled in really well during the uncertain Covid times at what is her first nursery. She thinks of her carers there as her best friends and it is so wonderful to hear her describe all the things she has been doing throughout the day - particularly art activities, and outdoors on the play facilities at the site.
The app for parents that Plantos use to record things such as each child's learning journey, what food they have eaten during the day, and other useful news (such as times of nappy changes), is always updated in a timely manner, which is very helpful. As parents, we can certainly say that the professionalism and kindness of the staff at Plantos quickly alleviated any worries we had in placing our child in a nursery.
Thank you so much for your great review. We really appreciate your comments and will definitely share them with the entire team. Thank you!
No issues at all. Friendly, interested staff. My son talks about the staff outside nursery. Great updates on the app to put my mind at rest. Love the creative things my son brings home from nursery. My son only attends half a day a week, but I’d have him there more if my circumstances were different
Thank you so much for the lovely review. Will share it with all the team.
My son was not happy to go there. The facility was not bad but they do not offer proper education for the early ages.
We are very disappointed to hear that you felt like this. We appreciate, however, that this is your opinion. We wish you all well. Kind regards.
My little man started at Plants in January 2021 at 10 months old. I was incredibly nervous as he was a lockdown baby so had little interaction with anyone but myself and his dad. This was the best decision I made. The staff are so friendly and were lovely even though I called multiple times a day in his first few weeks. I love getting my daily update on the app and photos of what he has been doing. My son loves it there and adores the ladies in his room. They genuinely care. Knowing that he is happy makes dropping him off much easier! The staff work with you to help keep the child's routine and do lots of different activities. There is great outside areas for the children to enjoy (I struggle getting him to leave these!). Thank you Plantos!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is great for us to receive such positive feedback, which will be passed on to the team.
