My son started here when he was 9 months old to now just graduated ready to start school. The nursery teachers have been amazing from start to finish. Each key person he has had in each room have really got to know my son and found ways to help him progress on an individual personal level. My son had a few issues with his speech, he was delayed talking. The nursery manager Lydia was so supportive and helped me accessing extra help for him. Then Jaxons key person, Molly went above and beyond to help my son's speech. She even made flash cards with superhero's on (his favourite) in her own time. They really worked with me to help his speech progress and it's worked as my son is now the loudest in the room and never stops talking! There's a real personal touch from this nursery and they genuinely care for the children there. I'm so grateful for the staff here for caring for my son. Really glad I chose this nursery for him. Would highly recommend!

The team creates a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where the children are encouraged to learn, play, and grow. It's been wonderful to see how much our girls have developed in their confidence, social skills, and independence since attending. They come home happy every day, excited to tell us about what they've been doing.
Communication with parents is excellent, and it's clear that every member of staff truly cares about each child's wellbeing and development. We are so grateful for everything they do and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to other families. Thank you for giving our girls such a positive and happy start to their early years.

My child has attended Playbox since he was 9 months old, he is now 3 years old. His days are full of so many activities, both indoors and outdoors, which are not only fun for him, but they're teaching him so many different new things. We're always kept up to date with our child progress and development, if there are any concerns, the staff address this and find ways in which to assist your child to help them. My son absolutely loves attending nursery, he has many friends and loves talking about his day when I collect him. He has learnt to crawl, walk, talk and he was helped so much with potty training which he has conquered. Watching his flourish and learn with such great support from the staff is a wonderful feeling. Nothing is ever too much to ask and the nursery has such a wonderful, caring and attentive team. Highly recommend.

It has boosted his confidence in being around different people, he has started trying and eating so many new foods, and his speech is improving very quickly. The staff are all very caring,...

All staff are so caring and get to know your child(ren) so well. They make you feel at ease as a parent. My children run into nursery every day with smiles on their faces. My son has some health issues and I have never once worried about him in their care. They are extremely thorough and the communication is very, very good, especially with a child with additional needs. The nursery is well managed by Lydia and Lauren who are very approachable and contactable. I've never had an issue that they haven't resolved straight away. Mya in Tweenies is incredible with my child, she is a real asset to Playbox, she works very hard and my child adores her. Couldn't recommend enough

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.
