Review from D T (Grandfather of Child) published on 3 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Wonderful nursery, with fantastic staff.
My grandson's confidence has grown so much since starting with playpals, and it's most certainly down to the love and care he receives from all the staff.
He goes in with a big smile on his face every time!
Everyone is approachable and always happy to help in any way they can.

I highly recommend playpals, it's just an all round fantastic nursery, with amazing staff.

My daughter has been at this nursery for almost 5 months now and she has developed so much since starting. The staff have been absolutely brilliant with her and us. She absolutely loves going to nursery and she is looked after so well! They are always doing activities and helping develop her skills. I couldn't recommend this nursery more!

Overall Experience

My daughter started PlayPals in September 2026. It is the best decision I have ever made, enrolling my child to this nursery. All the staff have built amazing relationships with my daughter and she absolutely loves going there. She has come on leaps and bounds and her development is amazing to see. You can see the genuine love the staff have for these children.

Review from C R (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started playpals in hindley green April last year and has thrived since starting.
My daughter runs on in with a big smile on her face.
The app they use is always updated and it's great to see a varied menu that is given. My daughter eats like a queen there.
The staff and management are amazing. They care for every single child and always give us information.
My eldest daughter is 7 and used to attend this nursery and it was amazing then. It still is amazing now.

Wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

Review from Shannon M (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my boys have attended playpal and they continuously prove they are the best around, always working around busy schedules and very flexible. I always recommend playpals to everyone. My oldest has been attending since he was 6 months old and my youngest 5 months old. They both smile as soon as they see the girls, its amazing to see they are so happy upon dropping off. They help along with weaning and potty training and I couldn't have done any of it without them

Review from Rebecca T (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing nursery with such a warm and loving atmosphere.
My little boy always goes in with a big smile. His face lights up when he see's the staff who are absolutely brilliant.
All the staff genuinely care for the children and right from the day i looked around the nursery they've shown this.
They really take the time to get to know the children, including the staff at a managerial level which i think is lovely. There communication and support is excellent.

They're always doing little activities which you can then see on the app. Along with their meals, naps, nappy changing etc.

when picking up my son there is always a hand over of how he has been, what he has eaten, which is appreciated as my son struggles with this.
I highly recommend this nursery, it really does stand out from all the other nurseries i looked around.

A massive thank you to all the staff! it makes going back to work so much easier knowing your little one is happy and content

Overall Experience

PlayPals is a wonderful nursery! My daughter loves going there and all the staff are so lovely and really care for all the children. They are very proactive on the app as they regularly post updates on activities the little ones are up to and are very quick to respond to any messages. I would recommend them to any expectant parents without hesitation. Thanks for everything you do!

My little boy loves going to Play Pals Nursery Hindley Green! The staff are so kind and caring. They create a warm and safe environment where children feel happy and supported.
The activities are fun and engaging, helping my son learn and grow. He enjoys playing, singing, and making new friends. Since starting, he has become more confident and independent.

Overall, I highly recommend Play Pals to any parent looking for a loving and safe place for their child.

Review from Jonathon B (Father of Child) published on 24 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A fantastic place for your little one, the structure of the nursery works great for our little girl, she has come out of her shell and become more confident in the very short period she has been attending, and the staff are lovely and helpful. We looked at several other options before visiting here and we were made to feel welcome from the start. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

My little girl really enjoys her days at Play Pals Nursery, her confidence has grown and she loves socialising with her little friends the nursery programme is well structured and the meals they provide are really tasty. There are lots of activities going on indoors and out the staff always have time to speak to you about any worries, you have just an all-round amazing nursery.

Review from Amy J (Mother of Child) published on 2 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My baby started nursery in July and the staff were very helpful and reassuring during his transition into nursery life. They keep me up to date with any relevant information and they are very approachable. My baby loves nursery and is always very happy when I drop him off and pick him up which fills me with confidence that he will have a nice day whilst in their care. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Lovely nursery! Very friendly staff, clean and amazing settings. We were struggling to potty train our son and they helped do it. Food variety is great, our son loves snacks there as well. Would love our son to stay here longer but he is heading to pre-school! Thank you for everything.
