IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood

My little one has been at into play for 6 months and I can't think of a more perfect setting for her. She goes in smiling and leaves very happy and fulfilled. The baby room team are incredible, adaptable and kind to her needs and us as a family. I was so anxious at first but they took time and energy into trying to settle her in which pulled off has she has built such a lovely rapport with the staff. The app is great for me keeping a check on things and communicating with the team for which they are prompt to reply. I'm so grateful she enjoys going there and I can't rate the baby room staff more highly!

Intoplay has a lovely set-up, and a good outdoor green space, with some small animals, and I love that they share photos and updates regularly on the family app. Everyone has been so lovely and friendly and the intro was at a good pace. We are very happy our little one goes to IntoPlay Barnwood.

As first time parents, we were nervous about how a nursery would tend to our son's needs and if he would settle in but we cannot fault the support he has had from the staff at IntoPlay Barnwood (writing about the Baby Room in particular). They show a genuine interest in his development and has really helped with his confidence by making sure he gets involved in all activities. The level of professionalism is really high and he always comes home with a clean nappy/face/hands. Staff always give a thorough handover of how he's been getting on at pick up which is always appreciated. The manager and office staff are always really lovely as is the chef we have spoken to about our son's allergies. Thank you IntoPlay for being such a crucial part in our son's development, as parents we are forever grateful to you.

My little boy has been attending since being in the babies room in '21 and is now in preschool. The staff throughout are amazing and in preschool they have such a good relationship with him and really know his needs. They have been amazing at keeping me updated when we've had tricky mornings as well as all the lovely experiences he does. He has grown so much in his confidence and social skills! He loves telling me about what he's done and who he has played with each day.

I was hesitant regarding sending my little one to nursery due to anxiety but the staff in Tweenies are lush! My little girl loves going and she has excelled so much since staring. The girls are amazing I could not fault a single thing about this nursery. My little one is due to move up to 2-3's soon which is sad as she won't be with her current staff but I know she will love her new class and Tweenies will always hold a special place in our hearts due to always reassuring me, you are all smashing it. Well done everyone.

My son has medical needs and the staff at Into Play have risen to the challenge, taking on additional training from community nurses in order to provide his feeds and water through a PEG. He enjoys going and looks forward particularly to seeing the animals they keep. The staff engage with the app to provide frequent updates and answer any queries. We were worried about how he would do at nursery but it's been great all around.

My son absolutely loves Into Play Barnwood. The facilities are excellent and he has been lucky enough to have enjoyed the newly completed Tweenies room for the past 6 months. The lovely staff are warm and nurturing and make sure there is lots of activities for the children to enjoy. They get to explore new things and have lots of fun singing, dancing and listening to stories. I'm always receiving lovely updates and photos of what he has been up to and observations to show that he is developing. Overall I couldn't be happier with the setting, everyone and everything is fantastic.

Our son has been attending Into Play since he was 13 months old and is now 19 months. During this time, he has been in both the baby and tweenie rooms, and the transitions (both starting nursery and moving between rooms) have been seamless and handled with such care and attentiveness.

The entire team, including the office staff, are friendly, nurturing, and always engaging. They create fantastic activities, offer a wonderful variety of food, and share lovely updates, keeping us well informed and full handovers every day. Our little one is absolutely thriving, and we couldn't be happier with our choice, we would recommend Into Play to anyone!

My son started back in June 2024, and was not the easiest of children to settle, but the girls in the baby room, quickly found their way to make him feels safe, loved and comforted, and was amazing also keeping me updated on how he was getting on. He absolutely loves nursery and is one of the first to always get stuck in, in all the fun activities they do everyday, they play his favourite music and all fight over him to be his favourite nursery worker of the day and have great pleasure of telling if it was them that day.

He's about to move up in rooms, and they have gone at his pace and making sure he's ok, and they have no worries that he will slot into the next room and the girls will be just as amazing as they have been in the baby room. They all have super powers, and feel very lucky that they adore him and make if very easy for me to drop him off and know he's going to have the best day

Kind and nurturing. Educational and fun. We get reports daily from our child about their wonderful day.

My son started at into play in summer '24, he had separation anxiety and the team were amazing! They supported us to get him settled in. He is now very happy to go off with the team in the mornings. The care has been excellent, they always communicate well with us! I can't fault them. Thank you into play, we appreciate all you do!

My 18 month old attends Into Play Barnwood. The whole team has gone above and beyond to ensure my little boy feels happy and he has grown in confidence so much since starting there in July 2024. The staff in the baby room are so kind, and always stop to give me a handover of the day even when they are busy. My little one is about to move up to the next room and they've made the transition really easy and I know he's going to love the new room just as much!

My son started in September and still attends. The team are brilliant and we're really accommodating and friendly when settling him. He is always happy when I drop off and pick up which assures me he enjoys his time there. The girls are great at updating the app and letting me know what he's been up to throughout the day.

Well done all.

The staff are absolutely fabulous at Intoplay and make every child feel so special. They go above and beyond to be fun but also to help with their physical and cognitive development. My son started at around 10 weeks old and has always loved those looking after him.

IntoPlay Barnwood is a fantastic nursery. My son has grown so much in his confidence and social skills! He loves going and telling me about what he's done and who he has played with. I would also like to thank the staff who have all been amazing when helping with my son's dietary needs and changes as we work together to finding out what foods he can and can't digest. - thank you your help and reassurance has meant so much!

An outstanding nursery, the staff are amazing and I have no worries while my child is in their care. They’re always updating parents and sending pictures of the activities they’re been up to. My child has a great bond with the staff and other children and really thrives at IntoPlay.

Not only are the staff brill with the kids, they are also so great with caregivers, my partner often deploys with his job and I have also lost a few key family members during the time my children have been there and the care and compassion they have shown me is just amazing. So thank you.

Wonderful preschool in a lovely setting, staff are amazing and go the extra mile. My daughter loves attending and enjoys the daily activities. Will be very sad to leave in September once my child starts school.

IntoPlay Barnwood is a lovely nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing with the children and the management are well organised and approachable. Communication is brilliant which is so much appreciated. My daughter does lovely activities and a lot of thought and care are put into them. She is so happy there.
