Play House Pre-school & Out of School Club

I'm very pleased with the playhouse my son has been attending. The place looks really nice and clean. Amazing outside area, which my boy loves. I feel there should be more activities for all age groups to entertain and stimulate the children (which I know your in the process of doing now). The staff
are very polite and helpful. I'd like to see more pictures uploaded on the Famly. It's lovely to see what the kids are up to. These would be my only recommendation.

I would love to have more learning sessions or help kids with some learning challenges from the school tasks.
The rest of the facility is good, but I got the impression that learning with play sessions would be very beneficial to the pupils.

Great kindergarten with a great yard, and friendly staff. My son and now my daughter went to this preschool. They both love it and we have great memories from that period.
The children always have activities planned for the whole week, and I already know what they will do and how to dress the child.
They have a lot of practical and fun activities.

Reply from Tracy Cave, Pre-school Manager at Play House Pre-school & Out of School Club

It's lovely to hear both children enjoyed being here. It was a pleasure having them and I hope they come back for our holiday clubs.

My little girl was very nervous about starting preschool, she would cling on and would cry for me, all the workers there were fab with her and comforted her until she settled, also any concerns I ever had regarding my daughter they would listen and give the best possible advise she continued to go there
in September and her confidence since going to Playhouse has been absolutely amazing. I couldn't thank these guys enough! I would highly recommend Playhouse to anyone looking to put their children in preschool.

Excellent, friendly, caring staff. My daughter gets a little upset every time I drop her off but I know she is in very good hands and the staff are wonderful with her. Within 2 minutes my daughter is happy.
I would really like to mention that one staff member in particular is a star and my daughter
talks about her a lot at home which is lovely to hear.
Thank you for everything you do.

My daughter enjoys going to Play House. She loves the staff and the kids. She is learning a lot from Play House. She enjoys learning, caring, the activities, and the whole management. She improves her playing, communication, and language skills, and her physical development, and understanding of the
world.

I've used the summer holiday club this year after the previous 2 visits over Christmas 22 was a huge hit. There is so much I could say about this placement but I would like to point out that the staff have been amazing with the transition into the child going in comfortably on their own. I love the
fact you are welcome and almost encouraged to walk your child/ren in rather than quick goodbyes at the door. They are a lovely bunch and so attentive. Even after pick up they will explain everything from the day and upcoming days without clock watching or rushing you even if you have a million questions. They will take time to answer every single one of them.

Reply from Rachel Blakemore, OOS Club Manager at Play House Pre-school & Out of School Club

Thank you. We feel it is an important part of Barnardo's and Play House to ensure that the children feel confident and comfortable when accessing our service and that parents also can come in and see the facilities and settle their child on the day if needed. It has been such a pleasure to have your child here and I am so glad that you have felt welcomed and been able to ask any questions that you have wanted to without feeling rushed. Thank you very much for the lovely feedback
