Review from Yasmin M (Mother of Child) published on 13 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

With thanks to the fantastic staff at PL, all of my worries about my toddler starting nursery were put to rest straight away. Everything and one are faultless, it has a proper family feel and trusting these ladies to look after my son couldnt feel more natural. They keep you updated with the variety of delicious food eaten and wide range of activities done throughout the day, they are very communicative and the facilities' safety is of very high importance. The facility is so clean and my son loves playing in the garden. They truly nurture his development and I can see the advancements in his communication, interaction with others, concentration etc with every week. Everything has been thought through and my son absolutely loves his nursery days :)

I am so happy I picked this nursery for my child! The team at hadleigh are all so caring & lovely, they make you feel at ease and reassured to leave your child in their care. Everything is so clean, they are fed really well & I can see so much development in my child from starting at the nursery.

I can't thank them enough for everything they have done, and even recommended them to friends and they are happy too.

Overall Experience

My little boy was given a space short notice this year, after much upset and anxiety over not securing a space at a nursery purple lion reassured us and got us a place making us feel at ease and happy. My son has thrived since starting at purple lion and adores all working in the nursery. He has formed strong bonds and gains everything he needs from purple lion! The team are outstanding and care is amazing! All provisions are covered and we've never had any issues with purple lion. Hats off to all the staff whom are the most wonderful staff you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting!

Overall Experience

Outstanding nursery! My little boy has been attending since Jan 26. We lost our childminder placement very suddenly and with short notice this amazing nursery got us in for a show around & settles and we've never looked back. They have welcomed my son with open arms and care for him like their own. My son desperately attends nursery every morning and speaks of all his friends and teachers at home absolutely adoring each and every one of them! Information received is outstanding in all aspects. I was that impressed with the nursery as soon as I found out I was expecting again their space was secured as I was not losing out on the experience for my baby. I would never recommend anywhere other than purple lion! I had my reserves about nursery after my own experiences of working in them and Claire and her team have done wonders for me and my boy!

Overall Experience

I've been so impressed with the Hadleigh Purple Lion Nursery and would recommend to all. We had to put or son in from an early age which I was so worried about but he absolutely loves it here and is thriving. The staff are so lovely and caring and give so much to the children. They know them all by name and their likes and dislikes and my son has made some lovely relationships with them all. The communication with parents is excellent and we get regular updates and observations of the children's progression.

Review from Vicki P (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care & support our child has received at PLN. From our very first visit, the staff made us feel welcome & reassured and they creating a warm, friendly, & nurturing environment for our Daughter.
The team are genuinely caring, attentive, & invested in each child's development. Our Daughter has grown so much in confidence since attending & always looks forward to going in each day. The range of activities is excellent, encouraging learning through play while helping children develop important social & educational skills. The outside play environment is fantastic too!
We're so pleased as well with the communication with parents and we always feel informed about my child's progress & daily experiences. It's clear that the staff work hard to create a safe, happy, & stimulating environment where children can thrive.

I would highly recommend PLN to any parent. It has been a wonderful experience for our family, &I am incredibly grateful for all the care & support

Review from Toni G (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attends this nursery and I have never felt so happy and comfortable leaving my son is someone's care as I do with these ladies. He has never had a day where he has said to me that he doesn't want to go in or that his even had a bad day. If anything he wants to be there more bless him. The layout is open and clean and feel very inviting. The staff themselves.. I can't not say enough on how amazing they all are. Extremely helpful, polite and warm. So happy to help and listen. You literally see how all the children just communicate and act around them all. I'm not a parent who trusts easily and I find it very difficult being away from my son but from the get go this nursery ,for myself and my son, just stood out immensely. Never been so happy and confident having my boy in such a setting.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been at Purple Lion for around 6 months and I couldn't be happier with how far she has come. She absolutely loves nursery.

The management and staff are great with her, and the system works fabulously. Constantly receiving updates on her progress as well as her day to day, eating, sleeping etc.

Overall Experience
I could not be happier with my choice of nurseries. My child is extremely well looked after and you can tell the staff really bond and treat each child like their own. They always have a range of activities to do, I get wonderful updates and my child eats better than I do! My child particularly enjoys that they have a sports coach come in once a week - it's great that even at this early age to see them enjoy sports!

Truly a wonderful setting to send your child to and I would recommend them to anyone.

Hadleigh Purple Lion nursery has welcomed both my children at a very short notice, providing them with great care. Facilities are top of the notch and there is plenty of space for the kids, both indoor and outdoor. The quality and variety of the food is excellent. There are structured activities throughout the day for all ages. I would totally recommend.
