Overall Experience

We had a wonderful time at the nursery, but sadly, we had to find a new one because we moved. Leaving here brings bittersweet feelings, as we cherish the warm memories we've made. Our daughter adored the cuddles and home-like feel of this place. The caring staff made it truly exceptional. We're thankful for the nurturing environment and the positive impact it had on our daughter's growth. We'll miss you dearly.

Overall Experience

Our daughter is 20 months old and has been attending The Playhouse Nursery since she was 11 months old. We are really happy with the care she receives. All members of staff welcome her with a smile in the morning and she has always been happy to separate from us. The home-from-home environment they create is so nurturing and loving. The team have been supportive of our child’s dietary needs and they ensure she has a varied diet and eats well. We love the fact that the nursery is clean, tidy, and extremely well-resourced and the soft play area ensures our child and others are physically challenged in their development. I work within Early Years so visited many local nurseries when looking for a place for our daughter and instantly appreciated the set-up of the learning environment, the equipment and the ethos of the management. The children are exposed to so many learning experiences and our daughter has made a real connection with her key worker and peers.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since it opened. He is currently in the pre-school room and he really has come on leaps and bounds. He always comes home happy and has a smile. The ladies in the room are so friendly and it is not just limited to the rooms - each and every member of the team know him by name. That gives us a great comfort. I cannot recommend them enough - definitely worth taking a look if you’re thinking of a nursery for your child.

Review from J D (Mother of Child) published on 13 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter seems to be very happy in the nursery.
She comes from nursery talking a lot of words at 18 months, that tells me that they teach her things and she has opportunities to learn.
I like the fact that is family orientated and that makes me feel she is going to be around a family environment.
She eats very well there and she loves their food.
I would love if they could encourage her to eat more less appealing meals.
My daughter is super happy there so they must be doing something good!

Staff is lovely and my daughter gets cuddles and attention. There is also Spanish stuff that I am sure they encourage my child to speak in Spanish which is a plus.

Overall Experience
Delighted with The Playhouse Nursery! Outstanding management ensures a safe, nurturing environment, while the owner's care creates a family-like atmosphere. The variety of nutritious food and the staff's commendable attitude make drop-offs easy.
Our boys have made incredible progress. Our older one just graduated, fully prepared for reception, thanks to the excellent education and boosted confidence gained here since July 2022. Our younger son thrives in preschool, showing remarkable growth.
Without a doubt, this nursery is a gem that we can't recommend enough. If you're looking for a place where your children's growth and happiness are top priorities, look no further!

From the open day in 2022 till today, I am so happy I took my children out of another local franchise nursery and enrolled them into The Playhouse Nursery!

Overall Experience

We have had a wonderful experience sending our 17 month old daughter to the Playhouse Nursery. The staff are so warm and welcoming and my daughter settled in very quickly because of that. She is so excited to go and has formed close bonds with the staff. We receive regular updates about the types of activities she is doing, which are always very age appropriate and educational. We would recommend the nursery to everyone thinking of sending their child!

Overall Experience

Our one-year-old has been attending for a few months now and loves it. She settled in easily and is always excited to see her teachers in the morning, going to them happily. We receive reports of her activities and love to see the stretch and learning incorporated into the fun. We are very happy with her care and all the teachers are lovely.

Review from Istvan K (Father of Child) published on 10 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a parent of a child with eating challenges, I am incredibly thankful for the nurturing and genuinely supportive environment that our son has found at this nursery. Unlike other nurseries we explored, Playhouse stands out for its understanding and flexibility in approaching our child's specific needs. While other places seemed more rigid and adhered to a one-size-fits-all approach, the staff here took the time to tailor their methods to his unique challenges. Their willingness to adapt and provide individualized support has been a game-changer for us. They have shown unwavering patience in helping him develop a healthier relationship with food and their thoughtful approach to mealtimes has led to consistent progress. We feel reassured and comforted knowing that he is in the hands of such caring professionals who genuinely care about his well-being. Thank you for being an essential part of our child's growth and development.

Review from Lynsey A (Mother of Child) published on 9 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From day one it was clear that my daughter loved her nursery. It felt like sending her off to family every day, she connected really quickly and easily with everyone there. The staff throughout the nursery gave her so much attention and love and she formed a special bond with a few.
We were grateful for the updates on everything that my daughter was doing to develop her skills in the different areas, the pictures and write-ups were helpful to see.

Unfortunately, our time was cut short there because we moved abroad, but in the time that my daughter was there, her speech developed greatly, she did so many great activities, including having visits from the fire brigade and police and it has been so nice to see her development from all that she has done and learnt from the Playhouse Nursery. She definitely misses the nursery and still talks about the staff there!

Overall Experience

We are so happy that we chose The Playhouse Nursery! Our daughter started there at 10 months old and even though we felt nervous to leave her there at such a young age, the staff took such great care of her and gave her all the support she needed. The change in her confidence and skills is so noticeable; she has become much more independent and is excited to go to nursery now, chatting about her carers all the way there. The staff have great communication and put so much effort into planning fun and varied learning activities for the kids. The facilities are also great - the soft play is a big hit! Highly recommend.

Overall Experience
The Playhouse Nursery is absolutely amazing...

My triplets have been with the team from when they first opened and it has been a beautiful experience for them to grow into the big boys they are now, the nursery is so spacious and such a fun space for the kids and not to the mention the soft play they have inside, better than another indoor activity centre so my boys say. The staff are also very amazing the manager and his team the kids sing their praises every day and without them God knows where I would be!

Overall Experience

This is a lovely family run nursery! The staff are warm and caring. They have an amazing indoor soft play area and an outdoor space. They do brilliant creative activities for the kids and also have visitors (a pilot and police men recently). The nursery has air conditioning which is great in summer! My two sons go there (age 2 and 4) and I’d highly recommend! Also, the age groups meet a little throughout the day, which I think can be nice for siblings!

Overall Experience
My two children attended The Playhouse Nursery for a year and sadly we had to leave because we moved to another area. I’m glad I chose this nursery because we had the best experience there. The facilities are spacious and clean, they have really caring staff who my children grew quite fond of.

My children learnt so much during their time there. They loved the soft play area as well as all the fun activities! My 3 year daughter especially, really blossomed into a chatty and friendly little girl. I couldn’t recommend the playhouse nursery highly enough.

Absolutely wonderful nursery! The staff are attentive, professional, loving and kind. I am so happy we chose The Playhouse Nursery for our shy son - it truly feels like a home away from home. He is always happy to go to nursery.
We feel that our son is cared for by the team and this leaves us feeling content and relaxed. We truly recommend the team and we are so grateful for their care and professional work.

So grateful to have such a lovely setting in our neighbourhood.
