31 March 2026
We have had our child attend Plantos Nursery for nearly two years after assessing several nurseries within a wide area. The people, atmosphere and environment felt right at the time. They have provided a very good level of care and we are comfortable to leave our child with Plantos. They help with
our childs social skilss, are caring and notify us daily as well as in our collection with specifics of the day. The staff are caring and pleasant and this is reflected in our childs behaviour after nursery attendance.
31 March 2026
The staff are lovely, welcoming, and always communicate really well with us. They've helped our little one settle in quickly and made us feel comfortable leaving her for the first time! It's so nice to know our daughter is in safe hands and getting wonderful support and care.
24 March 2026
All staff are enthusiastic, helpful and kind. I feel safe leaving my son at Plantos, which is such a relief as a first time mum.
The photos and updates on the app are great to see, and the communications are really useful. Overall, I've had a great experience with Plantos!
24 March 2026
We have two children currently attending Plantos and both absolutely love their time there. The girls are all incredibly supportive and encouraging of our children through every step of their development.
20 March 2026
Staff are warm and welcoming which provided me and my partner with lots of reassurance. We whee apprehensive at first as first time parents leaving our child but, their doing really well having new experiences and it's great seeing them grow.

I couldn't be happier with the care my child receives at Plantos nursery. The staff are exceptional-warm, patient, and truly dedicated. It's clear they're valued too, with thoughtful touches like shout-out boards that create a positive atmosphere for everyone. I also love how inclusive the setting
is: flags from different countries help children feel represented, and everything is beautifully bilingual in Welsh and English. The activities are fantastic, from creative play to outdoor adventures, and my child always comes home excited about their day. Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos that keep me connected. My child absolutely loves attending, and the nurturing, supportive environment gives me complete confidence in the wonderful team.
13 March 2026
My son has been with Plantos since 9 months old and thrives here. He loves to go in to nursery and they have helped with any and all issues that may have come up. I am now pregnant with baby number 2 and wouldn't hesitate to send them here when the time comes.
13 March 2026
My child recently started at Plantos, and the staff have been fantastic at welcoming him and throughout his settling in they have been patient and understanding. The team are happy to answer queries to abate any concerns I have. I'm grateful to the team for making the transition of going back to
work easier.
13 March 2026
My child has attended Plantos for almost 3 years now. I'm extremely happy with the care that Plantos has provided over the years and we will be very sad when my son has to leave to go to nursery full time in September. I would highly recommend Plantos to others and would definitely use their
services again. Thankyou to all the lovely ladies that are the key to making Plantos such a great place !

My daughter has been attending Plantos since she was just six months old, and she's now two and a half. Every single morning she walks in with a beaming smile on her face, and that says everything to me.
When I pick her up, she's always so happy and excited to tell me about her day - the painting
she's done, the exploring and free play, the songs she's learned. I love receiving photos of her throughout the day, capturing those special moments. It genuinely amazes me how often she comes home with new words, counting skills, or knowledge about animals and things I know I haven't even taught her yet.
Beyond the learning, her social skills have blossomed. She's grown in confidence and feels completely comfortable in the nursery environment, and that gives me such incredible peace of mind.

They have an Amazing Staff, my Son settled in very quickly into nursery. Supported him to be independent for his age. His key workers always encourage and ensure he eats well. I fully recommend Plantos Nursery.

We've been absolutely delighted with Plantos. As first-time parents, the whole process has been incredibly reassuring. The team are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing-you can see it in how settled and cheerful the little ones are. The key workers assigned to each
child work so hard to build a strong, trusting bond, which really shows in how comfortable our son is. We really enjoy the regular updates through the app and the photos they share, as I can see the enjoyment on my son's face.
12 December 2025
Plantos is excellent and their care for the children is evident day to day. My child couldn't be happier here and I can't recommend it enough for new parents or families looking to leave their little ones!
02 April 2025
We could not be happier with Plantos, our daughter started nursery in March and the whole experience as first time parents has been wonderful. The staff have a genuine, caring nature towards the children, which is obvious when you see how happy children are at the nursery. We love getting updates
through the app and love hearing about the daily activities.
17 March 2025
Both our grandchildren have attended Plantos Nursery and have been extremely happy there. Our three year old still attends and we will be very sad when they have to leave to start school in September.
The children are well cared for in a thoroughly safe and nurturing environment. As a retired
early years teacher and former member of an Estyn Inspection Team I love looking at the wide range of Child Centred activities the Staff arrange for the Children each day. Thank you Plantos for all you have done / are still doing for our Grandchildren.
17 March 2025
Lovely nursery, the staff are wonderful and work really hard.
Plantos always looks wonderful and they do great activities with the children. My child's learning development has come on leaps and bounds.
14 January 2025
Both of my children have attended Plantos. My son is 3 years old and has been attending Plantos since 9 months old. Both children settled in so quickly due to the lovely caring staff and environment. It has made my returns to work so much easier knowing that I am leaving them somewhere where they
are so happy. My little boy has developed so much and looks forward to coming into nursery every day. I would highly recommend Plantos to anyone looking for childcare in the St Mellons area.

Plantos feels like a safe place for my daughter. I truly feel that the staff have her best interests in mind. She isn't one to settle quickly but they take the time with her to settle her in, sometimes drip-feeding her into new rooms to get her comfortable. The girls always have time for us parents,
and will fill us in in as much detail as we want from her day. They do a range of activities that keep her stimulated but balance nicely with quiet time. My daughter has come on a lot in her time here. It will be a sad day when she has to leave. I'd recommend Plantos to anyone looking for a new nursery for their child.
13 November 2024
Our child absolutely loves going to nursery and rushes out the door with excitement along with his bag and coat every morning he attends.
This is purely a result of the fantastic care he receives and the happy, caring, and nurturing environment Plantos creates.
Every single member of staff will
greet him by name and with a welcoming smile. This helped him settle in far quicker than we had anticipated. Seeing him happily walk through the front door, sometimes without even waving goodbye, is a great indication of how comfortable he is at Plantos. As first-time parents, it really does put our minds at rest.
The effort by the team to update the app daily with lots of photos, descriptions of daily activities, sleep times, what food he has eaten, and even nappy changes, means we can keep track of what he has been up to and feel involved. If we have any questions nothing is too much trouble.
All in all, Plantos has been brilliant and we would happily recommend it to others.
13 November 2024
I am very happy with the nursery and I have had support from the staff regarding my little one. Overall very happy. I have seen the overall progress of my child and I'm very pleased with it and all the support and encouragement the staff give.
