Review from Shital P (Mother of Child) published on 20 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Purley Children's Nursery has been fantastic with both my children. My daughter started post covid in January 2021 when she was 1 year old and has just finished preschool and gone to primary school. My son started in August 2023 and he was only 6 months but the staff settled him in so nicely that he never wanted to leave at home time.
All the staff are fantastic and the management have made so many changes to make it a great environment for children to learn in.
The nursery is also conveniently located with an easy drive-through system with parking, great opening hours and flexibility (these are things I would look for when choosing a nursery).
Both my children loved their journey at Purley Day Nursery and I will be sad to leave when my son finishes in 3 years time!

Thank you to all the staff who have been amazing!

Review from Michelle A (Mother of Child) published on 20 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with the care my children have received at Purley Children's Nursery. The staff are truly exceptional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a family feel. Both of my children attended, and I have nothing but positive experiences to share. My son absolutely loves everyone there, and even now that my daughter is in school, she always looks forward to visiting during pickups. The staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely care about each child's wellbeing. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

Overall Experience
The people here make it a remarkable nursery.

Our "lockdown baby" son has thrived here. Speech delays are no longer an issue, grown in confidence and social skills. They cook all their food on site, such a carefully organised and well-run place. Compassionate staff. Thank you.

Review from Ellie R (Mother of Child) published on 13 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery has been a true home away from home for our two children. They supported our eldest from joining at 1 right through to leaving for school as a happy and confident child completely ready to take the next step. We know that the children are safe and loved and having a great time with the staff. They've encouraged a love of reading and outdoor play, and the focus on teaching the children how to look after themselves and the environment around them has been really impactful.

Overall Experience
The new manager at the nursery has made a big difference as there have been a few managers since my children have been at the nursery.

It's a very welcoming environment and my children enjoy going to the nursery as all staff are very lovely and caring.

Review from Prashant S (Father of Child) published on 29 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery is well-managed and the teachers are professionals. They always keep you informed about child's behaviour/development and learning. They so helped us potty train our 2.5-year-old daughter. I am happy with this nursery and would highly recommend to someone who's looking for a place for their kids.

Reply from Lorraine Rhodes, Nursery Manager at Purley Children's Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review, your family is a pleasure to care for, and we are delighted to be part of your child's development.

Review from Daniel Y (Father of Child) published on 29 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am very satisfied with the facilities, staff and approach to supporting the development and care of my son. They get the kids outside as much as they can and have created different areas inside to maintain the interest of the kids all day.

The team have put in place additional measures given his pending autism diagnosis as well as gone the extra mile to provide detailed assessments and coordinate information with his paediatrician. I was also recently widowed, the team has provided excellent support and flexibility for me during this difficult time. I would highly recommend this nursery, they go the extra mile for the children (and their families in my case!)

Reply from Lorraine Rhodes, Nursery Manager at Purley Children's Nursery

Hi! Thank you for such a lovely review. Our job doesn't just stop with caring for your children. We are a small-knit nursery that pride ourselves on caring for the whole family. It has been a true pleasure supporting you and your little one.

Review from Gabrielle G (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy joined the nursery just as he turned 1 and has had the most wonderful time there. He settled really well and has bonded beautifully with not just his key worker but other members of staff too. Everyone who works there knows his name - it is such a friendly, family atmosphere and, being on the smaller size for nurseries in the area, feels very personal. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Reply from Lorraine Rhodes, Nursery Manager at Purley Children's Nursery

Hi! Thank you for such a lovely review. We are glad your little one is doing so well with us.

Review from H B (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has only been at the nursery a short time but has settled in very quickly and with ease. He loves going there and is always talking about the staff when at home, so it's obvious they have had a positive impact on him whilst being in their care.
I get full updates each day of what he has eaten, etc, and his progress with the different activities they have been doing with the children.
All the staff, without exception, have been nothing but friendly, professional and helpful at all times.

I have nothing but praise for all the staff at the nursery and wouldn't think twice to recommend the nursery to any other parents looking.

Review from Abigail D (Mother of Child) published on 24 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter enjoyed the nursery, staff is very friendly and very helpful. The activities are very fun and educational. Staff is very equipped to know what they are doing. I love the fact there are parent's evenings to update you more about your child's development. The management always has time to hold a conversation and is willing to help when needed. The atmosphere in the nursery is warm and welcoming.

An excellent nursery with dedicated staff, which has improved massively in the last year. Our daughter always has a great time and her communication and social skills have improved markedly. Staff are friendly and helpful, wouldn’t hesitate in recommending.

Review from Mai E (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter Started in May 2023. I have nothing but good things to say about Purley Children’s Nursery.
My daughter has taken some time to settle but the staff are amazing and work with her. I have felt that the atmosphere has been warm and welcoming, not only for my daughter but also for me. They have kept me updated with everything. I have also noticed my daughter’s speech has greatly improved and she is now wanting to be independent a lot more e.g. wanting to feed herself and walking up the stairs on her own.

As a working mum, it has made a huge difference knowing I can place my daughter in good hands.

Thank you for such a kind review. We are glad that you feel welcomed into the setting and that your child is developing in their speech and independence!

Hi, my name is Sureena and I'm the preschool's room leader/ third in charge. I currently hold a level 3 qualification in child care and have recently just enrolled in doing my level 5 in child care.

And the last two years I have been based at one other nursery as a room leader, before joining Purley Children's Nursery earlier this year.

I'm a very family-oriented person so outside of work one of my favourite things is to spend quality time with my family and friends.
