I cannot praise this place enough! The staff have been incredible with both of our sons. Our eldest attended a couple of years ago and now our youngest attends. Their care and patience is incredible, he is awaiting to be diagnosed with suspected autism and their support has been incredibly generous
and helpful. Our son has developed a lot since starting in early 2024 and we cannot thank them enough!

My son has been with the nursery since he was a year old and all I can say is that the staff are receptive, lovely, and friendly. The environment is child friendly and my son always looked forward to going in.
I recommend this nursery as I received good information from them and daily log of my son's
activities which makes me feel I was with him during those times at the nursery.
Well done to all the staff!

Playland has been looking after my eldest for nearly 8 years and now after my youngest. I 100% trust Playland with my children and it is so important to know that my children are safe, very well looked after and having fun while I am at work. Staff are so, so lovely and friendly at all times. They are
always approachable and willing to help. They have the patience of a saint when it comes to very chatty parents (me). Food is always great, never had any issues. My oldest always liked their food and my youngest lives for their food They always make sure children have a variety of foods and try new things to promote healthy eating. Handovers are always offered and they always write down on children's individual books a brief description of how the child's day has been. On their private page, they post daily photos with children and in the post, it is outlined thoroughly what kind of activities they had throughout the day. I would choose Playland over and over again without a doubt!

As a mum who was so anxious to put their little girl in nursery the staff made me feel really at ease with the transition from settling in sessions to her actual starting date. I can honestly say it was the best thing I could’ve done for my baby. The minute she sees any of the staff members she has
the biggest smile on her face.
My little girl has come on so much since being here and she’s become so much more sociable. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

My daughter joined this nursery in December 2023. Both of us are new to the area and so going to a new school as well as moving to a new home was a big transition for a 2-year-old. My daughter settled in immediately. She absolutely loves it there. She doesn’t stop from the minute she walks through the
nursery doors to the minute she comes home. The staff are all so lovely and my daughter’s confidence has come on leaps and bounds. I’d most definitely recommend this nursery to anybody.

I have just become involved in the drop-off and pick up of the grandies. My grandson loves coming to nursery. When we have had a problem or needed a little help, the staff have accommodated our need and come on board to help with potty training etc. What a marvellous place and such friendly and helpful
staff.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since November 2023 and she is now 10 months old. She loves going there, always gets excited to see the staff and they are great at communicating what she’s been up to with photos and a list of what’s been going on and then more specific information in her
communication book. She has developed skills she wouldn’t have at home including climbing the stairs (steps to the slide in the nursery) has led to her safely climbing 5 stairs at home and getting herself safely back to the bottom of the stairs without needing my help. She is thriving so much. Very grateful to Playland for the great care they are taking of my baby.

Both my children love Playland! My daughter has been coming here since she was a baby now she’s in pre-school. She loves all her meals. I see photos of what she’s been up to. Both children have always been happy and never once looked back when they have been dropped off. They have always kept me updated.
If I’ve needed to change a day, they’ve been happy to do that. Communication has been brilliant via email when I’ve needed to ask questions or get in touch. I couldn’t ask for a better nursery for my children to go to!

My grandson attends this nursery, so many people rated it, from day one at 9 months old he’s loved it and never has he not wanted to attend. He has learnt so much and still learning more, he’s very independent and loves to help with everything, this is down to Playland. From a young age, he’s learnt
so many skills.

My child has attended since September 2023 and I have watched her grow and develop skills so fast. The staff go above and beyond to cater to her milk intolerance.
The staff make me feel safe and relaxed about the care of my daughter and I love seeing how excited she gets about attending when I drop

My twins have been in this nursery since September! So only 4 months and the difference in them both is unbelievable, they have come on so well individually with their very own personalities and both have come on amazing with their speech! They walk in with no problems, sometimes I don’t even get a
goodbye because they are so excited to get in there. Staff are all lovely and explain the day they have had when I pick them up. Highly recommend.

A lovely day nursery with friendly and helpful staff. Always a lovely handover at the end of the day so you know what your child's day has been like, along with photographs, updates, events and such. There are always plenty of variety in activities for the children to do to help them learn and grow.
My daughter always goes in and comes out happy!

Our little one has flourished during his time at Playland Day Nursery with all the love, care and attention he has been shown. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff to ensure both the children they look after have the best time and the parent leaving them can head off to work knowing their little
ones are in safe hands! Thank you very much Playland.

Both our children go to Playland Day Nursery. Our first child has attended Playland since May 2022, and our second child has attended since I returned to work in March 2023 (following his maternity leave). Both the baby room and preschool room are wonderful- the nursery has such a special, family feel
to it, whilst also being very professionally run.
The staff really care about my children, which makes leaving them, and going to work so much easier! Both children love being part of Playland, and come home very happy, with lots of lovely photos and stories of their day.
We are so grateful we found this nursery. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering sending their children here.

I have used Playland since 2020 and they have looked after my little two from 6 months old throughout their journey until starting school, even providing holiday wrap-around care and a variety of options to accommodate your needs and requirements. Every member of staff makes an amazing effort into enriching
the children's lives throughout their time in nursery and ensure all children feel welcome, cared for and looked after. It is hard transitioning into leaving your precious bundles in the care of someone other than yourselves however receiving updates in diaries and pictures of their day in nursery (consent required) makes you feel like you have been a part of their day providing you a glimpse into their experiences. I could never pick a better nursery and would 100% recommend.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.990)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.990) out of 10 for Playland Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.990 for Playland Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.99

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Playland Day Nursery is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
