My daughter has been attending Selca for the past 12 months, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff and the nursery environment are absolutely wonderful. My daughter adores the team and happily skips into nursery every day, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and cared for she feels. The app is fantastic, providing regular updates on what she has eaten, how she has slept, and the activities she has been involved in, along with lovely photos that give us a real insight into her day. The staff are friendly, helpful, attentive, and genuinely caring. The nursery is extremely well organised, with a wide variety of engaging activities that support the children's development and enjoyment.
My daughter loves attending, and we have complete confidence in the care she receives. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and welcoming setting.

My daughter attends Selca several times a week and absolutely loves it. She adores all the staff and has made some lovely friends. I really appreciate that they have an app, which allows me to see what she's up to throughout the day, and I always receive beautiful photos. I feel fully informed and updated by the nursery which gives me great peace of mind. My eldest daughter also attended Selca before starting school and she really enjoyed her time there. Over the years, I've noticed how much the nursery has improved and expanded, which is fab.
I would highly recommend Selca to any parent looking for a caring, engaging and well - organised nursery.

I couldn't thank the staff at Selca Pencoed enough. My little one has had a little bit of upset settling in but the girls are so welcoming, warm and attentive, he now grabs their hand and happily goes in. I feel total confidence in all of the girls but Blakes key worker Cerys is amazing with him and has got to know him and his little quirks so quickly.
The app is updated regularly so I always know exactly what he has been up to and I am so impressed with the variety of activities.
Thank you again to all of you for your smiles and kindness every day!

My son has been attending Selca since its opening, and he is now 5 and still loves going! The staff are welcoming and show so much care and compassion to each child under their care. Any issues are dealt with quickly and satisfactorily. We only use after after-school club and the odd holiday days but cannot fault the enthusiasm from the staff! Special mentions for the nursery team. Firm favourites in our house!!
Keep up the great work, girls!!

Since our child joined this nursery, we've seen him thrive in ways we couldn't have imagined. The caring staff, especially the highly trained nursery nurses, create an environment full of warmth, patience and learning. The use of Wel-comm assessments is brilliant - it helps identify areas where children can grow and keeps parents informed every step of the way. Communication with parents is excellent: clear, consistent and supportive. You always feel involved and valued. And we can't speak highly enough of the nursery manager-her leadership and dedication are at the heart of everything. The nursery simply wouldn't be the same without her. We're so grateful for the nurturing start our child has had here! 4 stars for outside space because while the equipment is amazing, you can never have enough outside space for kids!

My little boy has been in this nursery since February. He absolutely loves it there and has started making friends there. Hes learnt soo many new skills, and his speech has come on amazing. He only goes one afternoon a week so far looking for him to go a bit more. He gets so excited to tell me about his day. Hes also started eating many different foods that he hasnt touched since he was weaning!
They have a lovley little garden for the children to play in too. I can't recommend this place enough, the girls are amazing

The team is incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It's clear that they create a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for the children. We've seen such positive development in our son not just in learning and communication, but in confidence and social skills too. The regular updates, photos, and communication from the nursery give us peace of mind and help us feel connected to his day. It's such a comfort knowing he's in such good hands.
A big thank you to everyone at Selca for all that you do we're so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our child to grow and thrive.

I’m really happy with Selca, Pencoed. Each member of staff is absolutely lovely. They’re welcoming and happy every single day. They tailor what they offer to suit individual needs like no other nursery I know of. They’re incredibly flexible, accommodating and helpful, and always available to answer any questions. They have a really big open hall which the children love to run around in and explore the different activity stations that are laid out. I love that they can burn off energy even when they’re indoors because the room is so large. They take the children out for walks in the village, to the shops and the park regularly, which I love. They use an app to update you on their daily activities and food that they’ve eaten, which is really useful, and it comes with a daily photo as well. They have been really helpful with figuring out tax-free childcare, the free hours etc, as well, so I can’t fault them.

Hello, I’m Olivia, and I am the Nursery Manager here at Selca Day Nursery – Pencoed.
I am a qualified Level 4 childcare practitioner with eight years of experience in the early years sector. My journey began in primary schools as part of my studies, and from there I moved into nursery settings, where my passion for supporting children’s learning and development really grew. In my previous nursery in Cowbridge, I progressed into the role of Deputy Manager, gaining valuable experience in leadership and high-quality practice along the way.
I have always had a genuine love for working with children and seeing them flourish as individuals. Creating a warm, nurturing, home-from-home environment is very important to me, and I believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace.
Building positive, trusting relationships with families is something I truly value, as I believe we achieve the very best outcomes for children when we work together.
I feel very proud to be part of Selca Day Nursery – Pencoed, and to lead such a caring and dedicated team. I am excited to continue building on the strong foundations already in place and to create lots of happy memories with the children in our care.
If you ever have any questions or would like a chat, please don’t hesitate to come and see me. I am always happy to help!
