My daughter currently attends this nursery and has done for nearly a year and I can only say positive things. She absolutely loves it! The staff are so attentive and the communication on the app is amazing so you always feel in the loop with what they are doing/eating and if I wanted to ask something there reply is always fast and will often include a picture. My son also went here (is now in school) and he also loved it very much. Currently couldn't fault the nursery or the staff.
My son has been there since September and the staff have gone above and beyond setting him in when his been upset, they have settled our anxiety as parents and will always answer every question we ask, we couldn't ask for a better nursery
highly recommend x
Thank you to Playbox Nursery for making nursery such a special experience for our 16-month-old son. He has only been attending since September but gets there every morning with a massive smile on his face and can't wait to ring the doorbell and go in. The staff are friendly, kind, thoughtful and caring. They go above and beyond to help our son learn new things, try different foods and feed himself, start reading books, and have fun playing. He has grown up and developed so much in such a short time with them. Choosing a nursery and dropping him off for the first few times was very daunting but now we feel so relaxed dropping him off every day knowing he is in good hands and will enjoy himself. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.
The staff are very attentive and friendly, always keeping you in the loop with your child throughout the day. Not only this but they add photos and comments via the app during the day so you can see what your little one is up to.
The nursery is very spacious and clean, full with lots of fun things for all ages. It's very secluded and safe, never have to worry about anything once I've dropped my child off.
My girls were at the nursery for around 7 months maybe more and they absolutely loved it there,the staff are amazing and so helpful my girls have loved being there and adore all the staff that work there. The nursery have helped them so much with lots of different things they used to hate every nursery we tried them with till we found playbox now they have left for school in September and they're still asking to go to nursery to see all the staff and the children. I highly recommend. Thank you to all of your staff and management you are all amazing x
We are so happy with our experience at Playbox Nursery .The staff are warm, caring, and professional. Our little one has grown so much in confidence, learning, and social skills since starting here. Since going nursery she has started crawling and walking which she struggled with before. The communication is excellent, and the environment is both safe and engaging. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive nursery!
Since my son has started Nursery he really struggled settling in as hes at home with me all day. Two staff members in particular have been fabulous in helping to get him settled. On his last day he waved bye to me!! The girls are so warm amd eased both our anxiety and to top it off, he took his first steps at nursery
comforting for parents too. Lots of stay and play, mothers day, halloween, christmas, father's day etc.
Since my son has started playbox, he really has come along, hes so confident, loving every minute of being at nursery. All the staff are lovely and caring, always happy to see the children. They do lovely activities with the children tuff trays, messy play etc, all whilst integrating their learning and skills. i really would recommend for anyone with littles. My son loves playbox!
The nursery really strive to educate the children my daughter is still in babies but she's just ready to move to toddlers, they have taught her so much. There caring and friendly. I wouldn't pick another nursery to educate my child.
The staff are excellent and I feel my son is well looked after here.
Would recommend this nursery to anybody!
The staff are always attentive to the children and provide an outstanding level of care that i couldn't be more happy with. I've never picked my son up sad or upset, he always comes out with the biggest smile on his face! I can't praise the nursery and staff enough for the care that is provided for my son.
I was so nervous about sending my daughter to a new nursery but the girls have been amazing! Always there for the little ones and the parents/carers really can't thank them enough, my little girl is thriving and it's all thanks to the girls.
Our daughter really enjoys attending this nursery and is always happy to go! After pick up she can't wait to tell us all about what she's been doing and learning about. We are really happy with the progress she's making with her learning and confidence. The communication from the nursery is great and really reassuring! Thank you for taking such good care of our daughter!
The staff at Play Box really take their time to build a relationship with not just your child but with you as a parent.
I feel confident that my child is happy and safe and making excellent progress in her development as she continues to be part of the Play Box Nursery family.
Excellent nursery, my child has been at Play Box for just under a year. Staff are excellent at providing information on how his day has been, what he has eaten and what he has enjoyed that day. They are approachable and friendly at all times. My son is constantly learning and always telling me about his exciting day. The nursery provides nappies for the children which incentivises them to assist with potty training, my son was fully potty trained in 4 days with no accidents. I would definitely recommend them, they are doing a great job!
My child enjoys going to nursery, he has made friends and his social awareness has improved immensely, all the staff are well-presented and helpful. The nursery keeps me informed as a parent on everything that is happening, including what's been had for lunch to the various activities that have occurred on any given day, with permission photographs are allowed to be taken and shared on the nursery's platform so we can also see how our children are developing. I would recommend this nursery to any friends or family that are looking for a placement.
Thank you team for everything you do!
My child loves going to nursery and seeing all the staff.
Can’t fault anything about the nursery, the staff can’t do enough for my child.
