Attentive staff, they give care to every detail. They have been very responsive to my requests and queries, and are happy to share regular updates.
The extensive outdoor space with lots of good quality equipment, I am looking forward to seeing a performance on their little stage !
A series of beautiful calm indoor spaces with abundant natural light. They have clearly well researched how to provide a good quality space for young minds. The space is well set up with different materials and activities.
My daughter was very well supported during her transition to a new nursery. She is delighted to go to nursery, and is always busy playing and enjoying herself when I pick her up.
Wonderful to hear about your experience so far with us, we are truly appreciative of your kind positive feedback across many aspects of your daughter's childcare environment from the outdoor spaces through to the spacious rooms and natural light, we really wanted to create an elevated setting for...
I also really appreciate their no-shoes-indoors policy, which helps maintain a hygienic environment for the children. It's clear that the nursery puts a lot of thought into creating a warm, nurturing, and secure space for families. Highly recommended!
Amazing, we love to create a clean and friendly environment as much as possibly can, we care about the interactions with the children and will be continuously looking to add improvements to the nursery in the coming months too. Thankyou so much for your kind reflections.
The care, activities and personal attention my son receives at the nursery is commendable. Lucy and Amelia truly run the show. The developments I see in my son is all because of this amazing duo. My son enjoys being at the nursery and is upset when it's time to go home. 100% recommend this nursery.
We truly appreciate your wonderful reflections of your experience with us, it is great to hear your son is developing positively so soon, all of which we are aspiring to achieve through our interactions, responsiveness to his needs and nurturing further activities through the learning through play techniques. Thankyou - Team Playtimes Academy Nursery
Facilities and toys are all excellent and just can't fault anything there.
Thank you for your kind feedback, we really appreciate hearing of your experience during settling in and beyond, we really want to go above and beyond to help your daughter enjoy her time and thrive in our nursery, it's great to have support in the early days, we are all truly grateful.
We completely trust the team and can see how much thought and dedication goes into everything they do. The nurturing and supportive environment has made such a difference to our daughter, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she has received. It has been a huge weight off our shoulders knowing our little girl is cared for so thoroughly when returning to work after maternity leave.
We highly recommend Playtimes Academy Nursery to anyone looking for a warm, trustworthy, and inspiring place for their child.
We are really happy to be providing care for your daughter, we have loved seeing her progress through Playtimes class activities following onto nursery, and feel that she has settled in really well. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, always appreciated.
