Although my child has only been going to IntoPlay for three months, I cannot rate it highly enough. The staff are lovely, the facilities are excellent and always very clean. The food, when I have seen it, always looks very good and is varied yet healthy. The only, very small negative comment I have, is it's very difficult to get a pushchair down the steps into the pushchair space when you're carrying a baby. However, that being said, the nursery that my other child went to didn't even provide a pushchair space.
Staff excellent, have helped my daughter settle into the nursery environment. Would defiantly recommend nursery to friends. Children always seem happy and well looked after.
It is daunting for any parent to return to work but we were so comforted by the quality of Intoplay Day Nursery @ The Quays. It is lovely to pick him up and see him engaged and happy in the vibrant, fun and educational atmosphere the fantastic staff create. Cannot wait to see our son blossom and watch him develop with the care and support of this dedicated staff.
Thank you so much Sharon - I will make sure this is shared with the team.
The staff at IntoPlay Day Nursery @ The Quays have been amazing from day one. Always get an honest, detailed handover at pick up time, always trying new things with my son (which is always difficult as he has additional needs). Our son has one to one care because of his needs and it's obvious his one to one is perfect for him. Always trying to help our son to grow. Couldn't wish for a better setting for him!
Thank you Roxie.
We find the staff friendly and responsive with our son, who is nearly 2 years old. We'd love it if there was a bigger outdoor space for the under 2's as the current one is very tiny for busy, energetic toddlers. The range of activities seems very good.
The staff are amazing and they are the reason mums like me go to work and feel reassured that your child is in the best place they can be. My daughter gets so excited to see the staff and tells me all about them. I couldn't ask for a better place for my child to grow and learn. She is doing amazingly because of how hard the staff work! Thank you for everything you do!
My boy/girl twins have attended IntoPlay Day Nursery @ The Quays since they were 2 years old. They have now been there for well over 2 years and I have never looked back. I had the option of using my sister to look after them who is also a childminder but I wanted her to remain their 'Auntie' so chose to look for a playgroup independently. Into-Play came highly recommended to me via lots of friends and I am thrilled that we found them. All of the staff who work there are highly professional and genuinely care about every single child that attends. My son has needed quite a lot more extra care and attention and it is likely he may be autistic. I cannot fault how the staff have helped me on this process. They have put in place all the specialist care needed (which would have been quite overwhelming had I done it on my own) and I am forever thankful to each and every one of them for how much help and support they have given him and my daughter, and I will be very sad to leave Into-Play when they join school in September.
I have and will continue to recommend. 5 Stars.
My daughter has been at the nursery for three years and has been so happy there. The staff are very friendly and caring, they have great relationships with the children, and they are very professional too. They do some wonderful activities, my daughter always has such a good time and has really thrived there.
Highly recommend the team at into play The Quays, they are always happy to help, great support. My son has struggled with time away from me and the nursery have supported me and my son in him gaining confidence, he always has a fantastic day and is learning well. For me, it's all about him being happy while learning and socialising with other children his age.
Thank you so much Jenny :)
My child has been with IntoPlay in the under 2s for a year now and has come on so much within this short time. All of the staff in the room are brilliant with her and I never have any worries about leaving her. There is always a good amount of things for her to do whilst she is there and the varied food/meals that they give are always a hit!! She will be moving up to the 2-3s room in the next month or two and although she will be progressing through nursery, it will be a sad day when she leaves the under 2's room. A fab nursery made up of fab staff :)
Thank you so much Zoe. Lovely comments :)
Both my children attend IntoPlay @ The Quays. The staff are very attentive to the children and provide lots of information on their day. My daughter has gained so much confidence since starting there and I'm sure my son will be the same. Would recommend as it's a lovely environment for children and I have every confidence in their management and staff.
Many thanks Catherine :)
Outstanding nursery! Everyone is welcoming and lovely. We are kept up to date with everything my son does in nursery. I would recommend this nursery to everyone! My son comes home in a great mood every time he's been in.
Thank you Lauren for your lovely review. :)
My daughter went for a few trial hours and not once did I fret that she wouldn't be looked after. There was no pressure to get me out when dropping her off and I knew that if I rang it wouldn't be a problem. The girls that work there are brilliant. You can tell that all the children are happy which tells me everything I need to know.
Highly recommend Intoplay @ The Quays.
Thank you Tracy :)
Would recommend anyone to this nursery.
Thank you so much Tracey. That is lovely to hear :)
When looking for nurseries in the Quedgeley/Quays area this one stood out from all the others, in cleanliness and helpfulness of staff which easily aided our decision.
Our 2 boys have been there from the ages of 6 months and they really enjoy it and respond well to staff.
They are also really flexible with hours due to shift work.
Thank you very much Mark :)
My son attends the nursery currently and has done for a year and absolutely loves it! He often talks about his key person and she is an extremely warm, caring and enthusiastic person. The staff are always friendly and supportive and the management are helpful and try their best to accommodate your needs. My son has learned so much since attending. He is motivated by the stimulating play and additional activities the nursery offer such as rugby and music sessions.
I have found the approaches used by the majority of the staff are really helpful in managing my son's behaviour and we have adopted certain systems at home too.
I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery and the effort they go to to make my son's childhood days wonderful. The care he receives is outstanding.

Our son has been going to IntoPlay for approximately 8 months now. From the very first moment he set foot in the door during our initial visit, he looked very relaxed, and it was due to this that we immediately felt it was the right setting for him. The staff are amazing with him and he clearly adores them. We use our 15 hours allowance to send our son for two days per week. We pay a top up, for any extra fees required to keep him there for a full day. On the days he attends, he leaps out of bed and is so excited that he is going to school. He has really enjoyed his experience at the nursery and it's a shame for him that it's coming to an end as he is moving on to school. The range of activities provided are vast, they have some great areas for the children to play and explore and they've helped develop our son into a nice, polite, confident little boy. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
Thank you for your kind words! He will be missed when school time comes :)
There is a great menu with varied foods for her to try that are healthy and food is of good quality as they use a local butchers too which I love.
I couldn't recommend the nursery enough.
Excellent nursery. Mgmt and staff keep us up to date with regular verbal comms, newsletter, emails and the online page. Very secure site. Our son is developing well- involved in lots of different learning activities. Enjoys the variety of food and drinks. Love seeing his development in his learning journal too.
Thank you for your kind words Emma. Lovely to hear your feedback.
