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!

I highly recommend this nursery to other parents looking for a warm, caring, and educational environment. The staff are incredibly caring and passionate, and they really nurture the children's individual needs. Just a huge thank you to everyone for their commitment and hard work.

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.

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.

Would recommend this nursery to anyone in and around the area, my son has only been going for a few months but from day one he has had the best time there, he's always running off happily to go to school and comes out telling me all about his day. The staff are all amazing and super comforting when you're a little bit anxious about your little one starting. I honestly wouldn't want my children going anywhere else.

Play A Way Day Care is a wonderful community base nursery. As a first-time mum they welcomed me and my daughter with open arms. All the staff her very friendly, kind and loving. They really look after the children. Prior to coming to this nursery myself and my daughter had a very bad experience with another nursery in the area which made us very nervous. However, the staff step right in and turned everything around within a week by God’s grace. I have seen a huge change in my daughter over a short period of time. She is very happy when I pick her up and drop her off, instead of being anxious and crying. They always keep me updated on my daughter’s progress. You can tell that all the staff are passionate about their job. Keep up the excellent work ladies. You are all amazing.

Since my daughter started, she has thrived tremendously with her nursery rhymes. Settling in was a breeze, and the staff and management are very welcoming and professional. As an educator myself, I am always happy to see my daughter's observations and just how well she is learning.
