Our baby is in the baby room and the whole team have been incredibly kind and caring with getting him settled in and happy being at nursery and away from us. He regularly gets excited, shouting the baby room team members' names in the morning to go and play and learn with them.

When starting nursery I was nervous as she was only 4 months old but the staff were so reassuring and have grown a great relationship.
08 October 2025
Our little by started in October '24 in 'waddlers' and after an emotional start, he settled in beautifully! The staff have all been fantastic and he is thriving under their care. We have always been really happy with the care he's received and looking forward to the same when our little girl starts
next year.

I never feel a shred of mum guilt dropping my daughter off here - she absolutely loves it! From day one, she's felt so happy and settled. She adores the staff, who are always incredibly friendly, caring, and helpful. There's always a wide variety of fun and engaging activities planned, and it's been
amazing to see how much she's learned and grown over the past year. It's such a warm, nurturing environment, and I genuinely couldn't ask for a better start to her early years.

Staff are fantastic including the manager. Nothing is ever too much, so accommodating and understanding of both child and parent needs. My child seems really happy in the environment and is growing in confidence and development. I would recommend the nursery to others glad my child has them. Thank
you and keep up the good work.

Our daughter is thriving at Play Away Day Nursery. She is always so happy at drop off and pick up. The team are fantastic, despite a hard day looking after kiddies, they are all so enthusiastic and engaging. They all clearly love what they do. The developmental activities and the care they give are
outstanding and we have really seen a difference in our daughter since she has joined Play Away West End. A huge thank you to the whole team.

Very good and my child could not be happier. Like things like shoes off when I pick her up.

Both our boys thoroughly enjoyed their time at Play Away. The staff have great care and a genuine connection to the kids.

Really supported us with his transition to start. He loves Nursey - started crying when being left but now stays more than happy. When I collect he is playing and very content. They have catered to his milk as he still has a few bottles. Always reports his day back to me. Every day they do different
activities. My older children attended this nursery too, even with SEN they were supported well and cared for.

The nursery have been incredible and have played a massive part in my child's development! He's attended Play Away since he was 13 months old and is about to leave to start school! All the staff are so lovely and create a real connection with each child and their parents! We have loved our time with
Play Away and I know he'll really miss everyone there!

All daughter seems very happy and content at nursery. She has formed bonds with both the staff and children. We love the daily update and photos, regularly, keeping us updated with how she gets on each day. The activities are varied and we appreciate every opportunity is taken to spend time outdoors
whenever possible. Everyone at the nursery has been friendly, welcoming and approachable. It's great to see so many people who know our daughter's name. It really puts us both at ease when we drop her off.

Our child attends this nursery setting and we are really happy with the care he receives. He settled in very quickly. All members of staff we have engaged with are really friendly. Some staff members are still there from when our first child attended 4-5 years ago which is nice to see. The nursery
have been really accommodating and understanding of our child's allergies. The communication is great and we are kept updated regularly.

My son is so well supported in Paddingtons preschool room. The staff there really encourage their development and learning. The new manager has made a great difference. I particularly like the recent trip to the park to give them new experiences. I value the new changes to the room and supporting
their transition to school. His key worker has always been the most helpful and understanding person who my son adores. Recently has some challenges with another child and the manager's reaction was excellent, called me to discuss my email and reacted effectively and promptly, as did the rest of the team.
