Play A Way Nursery has been wonderful for my child. The staff are warm, patient, and genuinely care about the children. The environment is safe, nurturing, and full of fun learning opportunities. I've seen great progress in my child's confidence and social skills. Highly recommended for any parent
looking for a supportive nursery!

First thanks alot from all staffs at nursery for your hard working and kindness.My child always comes home with learning something new. The activities are being chosen for children is amazing and creative which is really really good for there learning process. I love that you often plan field visits
for children. My son is crazily love out door activities and being in the nature. More over the nursery always offer healthy foods and drinks for children which is amazing. Painting and plays sands are my son's favorite activities at nursery. My favorite part about nursery is that they put the photo and the activities they do during the day which gives me peace of mind. I have never trust to any one else to care my child at my hard moment but only nursery staffs. I know that my child feel happy while being at nursery and the member of nursery staffs knows almost much more of my child's like and dislike. At the end one again I appreciate your hard working and patience with my child.

Play A Way has been a positive and reliable day care centre.
With both the staff and the nursery maintaining high standards my son has thrived within the last year.
He has successfully managed to say goodbye to nappies and is not potty trained.
He interacts, plays nicely and shares with other
children. I am always well-informed in regards to the nursery. Overall I feel positive with how things are being handled within the setting.

Wouldn't recommend another Nursey in the borough. My son is currently attending and my daughter left in September to join primary so many years we have been sending our children here and never once had any issues with any other children or staff they are outstanding

Fantastic place and highly recommended!
All of staff are very friendly and helpful. Our son started 1.5 years ago and he absolutely loves going there. He is getting ready to start reception next year while being well cared for and getting fantastic support. Tasha and the team creates warm and
welcoming environment, the kids have lots of fun every day. Tasha is well organised, creative and full of energy - always goes above and beyond! I particularly love that we are getting daily reports with photos - that is invaluable.
Thank you Tasha and all of your staff.

I am more than delighted to have my son in play- away. The staff a warm, friendly and re assuring, when my husband and I were looking for nursery for our son this September we were looking for nursery that can provide the needs of our son and meet his target as a toddler to get him ready for
preschool, a place where he can build his confidence, an learn whilst having fun, amongst the options we heard we choose play-away, which we did not regret at all, we can see how much he's grown just this few months.His first day was mind blowing he came back home with so many words, it was a shock for me because he couldn't stop he went on and on every single day is a brand new day with singing, words and sentences, all this credits goes to the amazing & wonderful staffs, love the approach of teaching in cooperated rather than living them to explore, his previous school staffs were amazing but kids were left to explore and been curious in there little world. I must say keep up the excellent work.

The staff are always super accommodating and supportive,which as a first-time Mum is incredibly reassuring. I leave my baby girl in complete confidence that her needs are being met and she is safe. I've been particularly impressed at the fantastic communication by all staff. They share any concerns
but are equally happy to listen and answer any questions that I may have too.I cannot stress enough how much my child loves attending the nursery each and every day. She always mentions how much fun she has with both staff members and peers.
Thank you anyways for making my daughter feel right at home and allowing her to flourish. She has the best time there, and it's evident by how excited she is to go to nursery. Thank you for being her second family and for everything you have done and continue to do.
You ladies deserve all the credit for the amazing work you do!

Play A Way Day Care Centre has been an incredible experience for my son, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. From the moment he started, he has absolutely loved it, forming a great bond with all the staff. It's clear how much they genuinely care for the children, making every day fun and
nurturing.
I love receiving daily updates and photos, reassuring me of what he's been up to. Whether it's messy play, arts and crafts, or role-playing, they always introduce exciting activities. The staff also keep me informed about his meals, letting me know what he enjoys and dislikes.
The warmth and dedication of the staff are unmatched-they truly understand and support every child. My son has grown so much in confidence and skills since joining. The communication, care, and engaging environment make this nursery exceptional. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, fun, and supportive place for their child.

Fantastic nursery, my child has come on leaps and bounds since starting. The staff are all very welcoming and know the children well, doing the very best for them. The managers are very approachable and nothing is too much trouble. I couldn't fault this nursery. My child loves his time there and is
always happy when going.

Couldn't rate this nursery enough, definitely recommend sending your little ones to this nursery. My child has overcome and grown so much since she started. She's always excited to go to nursery seeing her friends and teachers. Always talks about the activities she's done during the day. Honestly
wish she could stay here for longer.

Our experience at Play-A-Way was incredible. My son came on in leaps and bounds right after starting. He created amazing friendships with other children and bonded with the staff, who were so kind and welcoming and got to know him better than ever expected, even knowing what he needed before he did.
His confidence grew thanks to the support of his key worker and other staff members, with constant encouragement and praise for all of his good work. He thrived in such a colourful, happy, and healthy environment. It was reassuring as a parent to know I was leaving my son in more than capable hands and he would be well looked after with every need met. He has made friendships that he has taken with him from nursery and we still talk about his time at Play-A-Way all the time.
