Puffins at Westcliff

The communication is amazing at this nursery we love the daily updates. I have 1 child in preschool and 1 in under 3 and they both love coming here and are doing amazing. The staff couldn't do enough.

Really friendly. My daughter and I feel at ease. All staff go above and beyond. It's also a clean, fun place for the children to spend the day. I really feel that my daughter develops a lot from going to Puffins. I can't recommend enough!

Puffins is an amazing nursery my child has been going since it opened. Sophie and Evie have been absolutely amazing! Along with all the other workers aswell and manager Abbie is great. My child is always happy to go into nursery infact she can not wait to get in, she has so much fun they do so much for her and they are so informative and so kind and caring I just love it. I am so happy with the care they provide. I actually don't have any negatives to say and I will be so sad when she leaves in August to start primary school. Keep doing what your doing puffins at westcliff because your all amazing and superstars

My two children have been attending here since September 2025. My daughter started at 11 months and my son at 2.5 years. After the initial separation anxiety, they love it. This morning they both headed in eagerly with hugs for the staff, almost forgetting to even say bye to me.

I was very anxious about having to put them in nursery but i needn't have worried as they enjoy it so much.

The staff in all areas, baby, bumblebees and preschool have been brilliant.

My son has been attending puffins in Dawlish for 5 months now. He absolutely loves it, he settled in very quickly. The staff and management have been very accommodating and helpful from day one and this has only got better. The communication is great and as parents we really get a feel of what our child has been doing and up to in the days. Since our boy has attending he patience, speech, eating and play has becoming so much better and he is picking up things so well, the nursery are so positive and really want the best for the children there. I cannot fault Puffins's what so ever. Every member of staff in the pre school room has been amazing with him but especially Evie, Sophie, Louise and Amy. Abi has also been so understanding with us and our son and doing so much to support us and him. I cannot thank them enough or recommend them enough.

My little one has been going to puffins at Westcliff for a year now and absolutely loves going there. There are so many activities to challenge them and help them learn. The indoor and outdoor setting are wonderful and it's a joy to see how my little one is thriving every day. I feel that puffins has contributed immensely to his development and socialisation skills. He loves all the staff that look after him, but has a particular fondness for Emily his key worker and can't stop saying her name at every opportunity. He loves his food and enjoys the variety of healthy, balanced meals he gets there. I would Highly recommend puffins at westcliff to anyone that is thinking of sending there little ones to nursery.

My Daughter started at Puffins five months ago and I've been amazed at how her confidence has grown and speech has come on since she started. Most importantly she loves her nursery days, she's always happy to go in and comes out singing new songs. I love the app, seeing photos of what she's been up to means we can talk about her day when she gets home. I can't fault the care and attention she gets and knowing that's she's happy allows me to get on with my work without any worries. Thank you to the whole team at Westcliff.

My daughter started at puffins in the under 3's and the team have been fantastic. Sophie has been exceptional with the transition for my daughter who has found it hard to part with me, as well as myself and has been nothing but supportive. They are all absolutely brilliant and I can't fault them! Thank you so much. Highly recommend nursery x

Both my girls have settled into puffins so well and are happy and excited to attend their sessions! We have quickly noticed how much they are learning and developing in their communication & new skills each week. We love how good the staff are at commmunicating with us and updating the app with what they have been up to. Very impressed & highly recommend!

The staff are so professional kind and caring. I couldn't have hoped for better!

The best nursery in our area, no question!

My little boy started at Puffins a few months ago, and from the very beginning the experience has been extremely positive. As a parent, I was naturally a little anxious, especially with him being only two years old and very attached to me, but the transition has been far smoother than I expected.

In a short space of time, his confidence and speech have developed remarkably, which I credit to the supportive and nurturing environment the nursery provides. The staff are professional, approachable, and consistently keep parents well informed about their child's day, including any incidents or achievements. They are also very accommodating whenever changes to sessions or timings are needed.

Puffins offers a safe, fun, and engaging setting where children can thrive. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents.

I'm so grateful and couldn't be more thankful for the way the nursery have helped my son and always makes sure to send him home with a smile on his face.
