Overall Experience
What a fantastic nursery this is, I have been so fortunate to have been with this nursery for both of my children and they have enjoyed their time over the past years at different times. This nursery has brought so much love and joy to both my children and my self and have always been there for us for all the ups and downs and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a mix of great learning, love, support and friendship. The amazing team here are so welcoming to everyone and they go out of their way for all children to make going to nursery a fun time and somewhere parents can be assured that their children are safe and happy.

Dhana, Gemma, Tash and all the other team have been amazing and I can't thank them enough for all of the hard work they have given to my family.

Overall Experience
We can't thank Playtime Pre-School enough for all the wonderful care and support they've given our son. From day one, they have been incredibly helpful, understanding, and attentive to his needs.
A special mention to Dhena, the manager - she is absolutely amazing at what she does! You can truly see the love and dedication she puts into making sure every child is happy, safe, and thriving.
We would also like to give a huge thank you to Gemma and Nanthini, who look after our son as if he were their own. Knowing he is in such caring hands gives us complete peace of mind while we're at work. Our son can be a fussy eater, but the team never gives up on him - they are patient and encouraging, and we've even had some great success days! He has come such a long way since starting at Playtime Pre-School, and we can see so much progress in his confidence, eating habits, and overall development.

We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and professional environment

Review from Tauqeer H (Father of Child) published on 24 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My children absolutely loves going to this setting, and as a parent that gives me so much peace of mind. From the very first day, the staff made us both feel welcome and reassured, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children. I've seen my child grow in confidence, independence, and happiness since starting here, and it's lovely to hear all the little stories they come home with. The team put so much thought into creating fun, engaging activities while also supporting each child's individual needs, and I really appreciate the open communication they have with parents. I feel very grateful knowing my child is in such a kind and nurturing environment. I have worked with the staff for over 5 years where all of my children have attended and recommend them to everyone I meet!

Review from Silvia S (Mother of Child) published on 24 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter usually takes time to warm up to new people and has always been quite attached to me and her dad. We struggled to settle her into two nurseries before, so I was amazed when she became comfortable at Playtime within just a couple of weeks. I can truly feel that she is loved and cared for by the whole team, and as a mother, that means everything to me.

Dhena is wonderfully supportive and incredibly efficient, as are Gemma and the rest of the team. My daughter affectionately calls everyone "teacher," and right now her absolute favourite is Dolly, whom she adores the most. The staff go above and beyond to make the children feel safe, secure, and nurtured in the most caring way possible.

I'm so grateful to have found Playtime for Sanayah. I feel completely at ease when she is there, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them-especially to parents sending their little ones to nursery for the first time. Wishing the team all the very best!

Overall Experience
We couldn't have asked for a better nursery for our daughter. From the very first day, the staff made her feel safe, loved, and cared for-it truly felt like a second home. Every member of the team went above and beyond, and they became more like an extended family to us. The nurturing environment, patience, and kindness shown to our daughter helped her grow in confidence and happiness every single day. We are so grateful for all the love and support, and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child will be cared for as if they were their own.

Special thanks to the nursery manager who was always willing to listen to us and was always ready to help us with everything.
