We would highly recommend Plantos as a setting for a child to grow and be nurtured. Our youngest has attended since she was a tot and has flourished in all the age group rooms. The staff are attentive, caring and hugely professional, and have continued to be so throughout an enormously challenging time.
Thank you so much for the recommendation. It truly means a lot to us and it will be passed on to the whole team. Thank you.
My daughter has been attending Plantos nursery since she was 11 months old. She is now 17 months and I cannot believe how much she has progressed and developed since attending the nursery. The staff are absolutely fantastic. They are all so friendly and approachable and each caters to my daughter's individual needs. I also like the fact that you can track their daily logs and progress on the app. My daughter always comes out happy and smiling. I cannot recommend this nursery enough!
Thank you so much for the recommendation. It truly means a lot to us and it will be passed on to the whole team. Thank you.
The staff are friendly and approachable, my son loves going to nursery and eats really well there. The staff are great at following guidance with regard to Covid and I feel safe to leave my child in their care.
Thank you so much for the review. We are very grateful.
My son absolutely loves coming to Plantos, he has made some really good friends and amazing connections with the girls who work there. He has come on leaps and bounds since being at Plantos. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We will make sure that all the team receives your feedback. Thank you.
The staff at Plantos are so approachable and friendly, my daughter was nervous at first and with their skills and expertise, she looks forward to attending nursery every Tuesday. I recently recommended Plantos to a work colleague and his daughter will be starting soon also. They are absolutely brilliant, the nursery is so colourful and inviting and the Eylog app is fab, it's lovely to have updates sent to me throughout the day. I was so surprised at how quickly the staff came to recognise me and know me too, even with my mask on!
Thank you so much for the lovely review and for also recommending us. We will make sure that all the team receive your feedback. Thank you.
Our son loves Plantos. The staff are so kind and caring and clearly know the children so well. They have been really understanding with some changes in circumstances too.
The staff at Plantos are so friendly and approachable, very informative at handovers and extremely helpful when it came to setting our child care arrangement, as well as helping out little on settle in. Varied menu, which helps the kids explore great outdoor facilities for adventurous minds and always clean. Lovely nursery all-round!
Both my girls love the nursery and all the staff. They always look forward to going there and sharing their time with their friends. There's a good variety of food and activities for all ages. There are also occasional visits off-site which they always enjoy. There are wonderful outdoor play spaces both front and rear so the girls are never short of fresh air and open play time.
Thank you for the review.
Excellent nursery, we have been so thrilled with the nursery since he started. The girls cannot do enough for him and he is happy going there to play with his friends.
Thank you!
Thank you to the whole team, you really have made it a pleasure to send our daughter to you every day!
Wonderful nursery staff are a credit. Very friendly and caring my grandson loved going there. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate it.
Leaving my grandson at Plantos Nursery (Old St Mellons) is something I can now do without any concerns. He loves it there and to me, it is like a family from home. They really look after him. He has made lots of new friends and developed through the activities they offer. Their gardens are great and the staff make the most of taking them outside. I am so pleased I chose Plantos Nursery (Old St Mellons).
The menu is very varied and age appropriate.
All ages get to go on educational trips.
My son is well socialised and confident.
Some of the outside space might look a little tired and in need of redecoration but this is no reflection on the service we have received. Everyone is brilliant.
We highly recommend Plantos.
The staff within this nursery are the biggest asset. There is a warm, loving and empathetic feel throughout the nursery, especially the pre-school room in which my son attends. The staff know the children very well hence they are able to cater to children's individual needs.
An outstanding learning and caring establishment. The children are always so happy there due to the attentive staff.
My daughter absolutely loves Plantos and she has done since day 1. She calls the nursery her house and tells everyone she is going to her house. Have had lovely staff all the way through the time she has been there. Nothing is too much trouble. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.
My child started this nursery a month ago and I am so pleased with how much she had already come on. The ladies at Plantos Nursery have been truly amazing with her. They always have time for you is terrific with my child and her needs. I couldn't recommend Plantos Nursery enough.
Thank you for the lovely review.
Since joining Plantos Nursery, our son has developed in so many ways. He is more confident and balanced and looks forward to going in to nursery every day.
The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and I think it provides the backdrop for more effective learning.
My son loves his key worker and all the staff at Plantos are very approachable for parents.
We are very happy with the teaching he has received and his learning experience.
As parents, we feel the staff are very experienced who are caring and professional and whom the children respond well to.
I would highly recommend Plantos.
My daughter has been attending for nearly a year and has really settled in well. She loves it there, she clearly enjoys herself and likes all the staff. I am happy with the care she receives and would recommend Plantos to anyone.
I could not recommend Plantos Nursery enough! My son loves his nursery and the staff that take care of him so much. The staff are extremely friendly and approachable. The care my son receives is fantastic. I am always well informed of how his day has gone and if there have been any problems. I have not one worry throughout the day when he is with the Plantos team. Plantos is an exceptional day nursery.
