Review from Stephen P (Father of Child) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Just intended graduation for the Class of 2026. Had a great time watching all the kids pick up their certificates and listening to what they all excel at. Our daughter has had a great year at preschool. She's really grown in confidence; I love seeing her interact with the other children and teachers. The teachers have been amazing. Well done, Play Pals. (Kayleigh, Sarah and Kim.)

Overall Experience

My child attended a different nursery; she was shy, didn't speak and made no friends. I was worried about moving her, but I am so glad that I did. She is thriving, and the staff are lovely. I would recommend this nursery to someone looking for a fun, safe environment for their child.

Excellent staff, very caring and supportive. They have helped bring my child on both with confidence and with his learning.
Constant updates on performance and how he was bonding with other children.

Great choice to send my little boy here.

Review from E G (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a parent it is always a little daunting leaving your child in the care of someone else. But since my daughter has started at PlayPals I have felt nothing but reassured, comfortable and at ease knowing that whilst she is at nursery she is treated like their very own! My daughter is so happy when she is at nursery and after every session she is so eager and excited to tell me all about her day and all the new things she has learned! The staff are amazing! So caring, friendly, supportive and always happy to help. The nursery itself is fab! There is so much for our little ones to do and explore and no two days are the same. Both the indoor and the outdoor areas offer so many fun exciting activities for our children to to learn and thrive through play! I just want to say a huge thank you to all of the staff for all of your dedication and care when looking after our little ones, your hard work and positive impact never goes unnoticed! :-)

Review from Neil W (Father of Child) published on 10 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my son started this nursery he has grown in so many ways. Not just academically, but in confidence, self belief and in so many other important ways. The staff regularly feedback how he is doing and if there is anything we can do at home to help. Communication is great - we always know in advance exactly what is happening and if anything needs to be sent in. It makes life so much easier when you drop your child off knowing they're in good hands, feeling cared for and safe and this is very much how my partner and I have felt all academic year. Each member of the staff is friendly, approachable and cannot do enough to help. I would strongly and highly recommend this nursery. It is absolutely fantastic.

Overall Experience

Our little boy started here at the end of April. The staff were excellent in transitioning him into nursery. Communication from staff is excellent, they're always updating the app with photos and what he's learnt within his day at nursery. Our little boy now loves going to nursery and says he's excited to go in. Would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Becky C (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can't say enough good things about Playpals. Our son has been attending for six months and absolutely loves it. He asks every day if it's a "pre school day". It's been amazing to see how much he's learnt in such a short time, particularly with literacy and phonics. The staff are professional, organised, and they've built a lovely bond with him. Every week they do different activities, including walks to the local library, science experiments, and visits from members of the community. Seeing him excited to go in every morning makes us feel very confident in the care he's receiving.

Review from Carol R (Grandmother of Child) published on 27 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My grandson started Play Pals in September 25 when it first opened. He settled in straight away and loves attending. The staff are very friendly and informative at both drop off and pick up. They do lots of fun activities inside and out including trips to the library, parks and even took home made flowers and chocolates to the hospice. They are also involved with the school and go to church with them for school performances. I think his parents made the best decision when they chose this nursery and would 100% recommend it.

Review from Leoni H (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves St Peter's Playpals. He moved here in sept 25 after being at his previous nursery since he was 8 months old so we was very nervous about the transition. I had absolutely nothing to worry about. He has settled in so well and loves coming to nursery. The staff are amazing. They have lots of fun trips out which the children love and the communication with parents is excellent. They provide updates daily and post lots of pictures of what they've been up too. His speech has improved so much in the 6 months he has been there and this is all down to the nursery staff and the activities they do with them. I would definitely recommend this nursery to any parents who are looking.

Review from katie P (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter loves going to pre-school at Paypals and often asks to go on additional days. She settled in immediately and we have been very happy with the support and communication from the staff. In her first term they have provided a huge range of learning experiences and had numerous trips out and regular outdoor play. It is lovely to hear her talk about the fun things that she has done and look at the pictures and videos which are regularly updated on the app. I don't feel that we could ask for anymore from a pre school setting and we are very appreciative to the staff for providing such a lovely environment.

Review from Laura T (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so incredibly grateful that my son got a place in this nursery in September. This fantastic, brand new facility arrived just in time for us. My son has been in nursery daycare part time in another setting since he was just a few months old. His previous setting was very nurturing but I was keen to move my son to prepare him for school. Wow did I make the right decision! Daycare nursery providers are very good at what they do in terms of offering babies and toddlers loving care but St. Peter's Nursery provides such a clear, bespoke and cleverly planned out coherent curriculum for three and four year olds that just blows you away! All whilst ensuring the pre schoolers feel safe, comfortable, confident, cared for and cherished. I feel like I have known my son's nursery teachers for a lifetime but in fact it is only a matter of 5 months. It seems cheesy to say, but they really are like a little family. My son has made little mates for life. It is a truly amazing group of children.
