Review from C D (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my boys have attended Orton Longueville Playgroup, with my youngest still there, and they have absolutely loved it. They've had so much fun and I've really seen them come on in confidence, independence and social skills.

I love the free-flow environment and the huge variety of activities the children get to experience. From forest sessions to visits to local care homes, there is always something exciting and meaningful for them to do, and no two days are ever the same.

The staff are so caring and supportive, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children. I couldn't have wished for a better start to their early years and would highly recommend Orton Longueville Playgroup to any family looking for a fun, nurturing and engaging setting.

Overall Experience

A fantastic setting with great indoor and outdoor space. My little girl has learnt so much and they've really helped her start to catch up on a few areas she's behind on. Staff are professional, friendly and clearly great with the kids. All the children are happy at drop off and pick up and they have great activities come in to the setting to have sessions with the kids. I couldn't be happier with my choice

Review from Ricardo M (Father of Child) published on 26 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our Daughter has attended here for 2 years now, and this Playgroup has been exceptional. Our Daughter arrived, struggling with speech, controlling her emotions, socializing and being confident as well as many other things. She is leaving the complete opposite, ready for School. We honestly couldn't recommend this place enough, the care and effort they put in every day is exceptional!!! If you are considering this Playgroup please do not hesitate.

Review from Cassie W (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going to Orton Longueville Playgroup since September and has come such a long way since then. He is nonverbal and suspected to be autistic and he gets distressed when taken to new, unknown places so I was worried about him starting but the staff there were wonderful at putting my mind at ease. They talked me through all of the things they can put in place to help support him and they also explained they could be quite flexible in terms of his stay there at the start, depending on how he reacts. But he took to it really well and now we have absolutely no issues with him going in. I feel happy that my son is being well looked after here and that he is also being supported to progress and improve his skills.

Overall Experience
We are extremely happy with this nursery and highly recommend it to other parents. The teachers are very cooperative, caring, and always willing to help. They create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where children feel safe and happy.

The nursery offers a variety of engaging activities that help children learn, grow, and develop new skills while having fun. The play area is excellent-spacious, clean, and well-equipped with plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor play.

Overall Experience
We are so pleased we chose Orton Longueville Playgroup for our little boy. Although he only attends part-time, the fantastic experiences and opportunities the playgroup provides are too good to miss.
The free-flow sessions, wonderful outdoor space, sensory room, and daily activities create a happy and engaging environment where the children clearly thrive.

The staff are incredibly caring, friendly, and always available to answer any questions, making us feel truly supported. We would wholeheartedly recommend Orton Longueville Playgroup to any family looking for a warm and nurturing setting for their child.

Review from Emma M (Mother of Child) published on 13 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are so happy that we chose Orton Longueville Playgroup for my little boy. He only attends part-time as I would happily keep him home with me, but the opportunities and experiences they offer are too good to miss!
The sessions are free-flow, with an amazing outdoor space to explore, a sensory room and a soft play area, along with the usual reading corner, and crafts available daily. All the children look so happy and content.
The staff are so lovely and make me feel they truly care about each child there. If I have any questions or queries they are answered efficiently and reassuringly either at the door in person or via the app during the day.

We would highly recommend this Playgroup!

Review from Samantha P (Mother of Child) published on 7 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Orton Longueville Playgroup is an incredible place. My two eldest children were unable to attend due to the logistics of work so had to attend another local nursery and I only ever heard great recommendations for the playgroup, however, I have been fortunate to now send my youngest child to the playgroup. My child loves it and goes in and comes out with a huge smile on her face. I get the feeling all the staff love the children and make them feel safe at all times. When my child isn’t at playgroup, it’s all she talks about.

I would really recommend this playgroup, it encourages the children to be independent but in a safe environment and the outdoor space is incredible, just be aware the kids love the sandpit so you will find sand at home when you take their shoes off. I also love the 2-way communication which is great and all managed on an easy-to-use app, the highlight of my day is going through the photos at the end of the day with my child.

Review from Jennifer B (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son didn’t enjoy attending a childcare setting until we discovered this playground. My son has so much fun when he attends, and the activities are great and educational. The space is amazing, with lots of outdoor activities too. The staff are all amazing and have really helped my son manage his emotions with targeting setting, patience and a calming influence. I couldn’t recommend this playgroup enough. This playgroup is a 20 minutes drive from my house but is worth the travel, and I’m hoping to send my youngest son here too when he is old enough.

Review from Uthara R (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The best playgroup in Peterborough.
I can proudly say this is the best playgroup I have come across.
My son has been here, and now my daughter is here.
Very understanding, polite members of staff, well-organised, cleanliness 100%, taking kids out, they have sensory rooms.
Quick response in case we have any issues.
It's not just about the learning as well; it's also about how they are bringing up these kids emotionally strong and much more with activities.
They understand the need of the children and then gives so much support.
I live a little far, but I come every day here to Orton to drop my girl off.

Absolutely worth every penny.

Review from Victoria W (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child recently joined Orton Longueville Playgroup, and I’m so happy with how quickly he has settled in. He was always a little reluctant to attend his last setting, but he’s so happy to go into Orton Longueville Playgroup. The staff are great at keeping parents informed about what is going on during the day, which is much appreciated. My child is excited to tell me about what he’s been doing during the day, and it’s nice to be able to ask him about specific activities that I can see he’s been doing.

Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A wonderful place where children have so much fun. My daughter asks to go every day. The staff are all lovely; they genuinely care about the children and are happy to join in with the children’s games and activities. We often see pictures of them with their faces painted or hair styled by the children. The variety of activities they do is amazing, and they are child-led, so often buy new equipment in response to requests from children. As well as great indoor facilities, including a soft play room, they have a fantastic outside space, which the children have free-flow access to in all weathers. Communication with the staff is great, with daily updates on the app so you can see what the children have been up to.

Review from Charlotte I (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Orton Longueville Playgroup is a fantastic setting for children. The staff are amazing and treat the children as their own. The free flow and child-led activities mean that children are able to explore and learn in their own way at their own pace.
As a parent, I feel well-informed about what happens each day. The end-of-day photos are lovely to see, and being able to go in for a stay-and-play session feels very special too. Communication, in general, is very good.

I'm so pleased that we chose Orton Longueville Playgroup, and I will tell anyone who listens!

Review from L C (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I absolutely could not be happier with the playgroup, and I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else. I signed my second child up when I was still pregnant, as I was so pleased with them! Every member of staff is excellent, and they are all absolutely amazing with the children. My son is developmentally delayed, so I had a lot of concerns and worries, but he has made incredible progress during his time there. I can’t fault them in the slightest, they are all dedicated, and the resources at the playgroup are fantastic. My son has never had a bad day and always comes home with a smile on his face. I recommend the playgroup to everyone I meet!

Orton Longueville Playgroup is a brilliant setting. My son has loved attending since day one of joining; he has been really happy. The facilities are great, and the children spend lots of time playing outside. I’m really happy with the consistency in the care given to not only my son but me too. The staff have gone above and beyond to ensure he is ready for school.

I would highly recommend this playgroup.
