My son started at Peekaboo in January at the age of 13 months! He absolutely loves it here. The staff are so lovely and the setting is awesome. It's home from home and he just gets to play all day! And I have no doubt he is enjoying himself so I can go to work without a worry about. They go on trips,
and they supply pretty much everything you can imagine! He has such lovely days and has progressed so well being in with amazing place. Thank you to all the staff who do an excellent job.

This nursery has been outstanding. My son has been attending since a baby and he's done so well here. He has great relationships with the staff and has made some brilliant friends. He absolutely loves going to nursery and we will be so sad when he finishes for school. Would highly recommend.

Peekaboo have been amazing for my two children, the staff are so friendly and accommodating and always go the extra mile to support the children and parents. I can't fault any of their processes from the safety rules to the way they monitor each child's progress and keep in touch with us. My children
have grown so much in confidence, learnt so many different skills and are generally happy to go in every day! I'm really grateful I found Peekaboo!

Peekaboo is an amazing nursery, I was so impressed with the security measures in place for safeguarding. The signing in and out with the front gate closed unless main pick up times, the forum they use is a great communication. I receive weekly photos and a story, regular reviews are communicated to
me about my son's progress and I love the use of Makton in the setting, they access the community locally at parks. All the staff are trained and absolutely lovely. The manager is very accommodating if I request changes. They do lovely pictures and cards for special occasions during the year. I highly recommend this nursery.

Very pleased with this nursery and how they are helping my little one straight away plan for her to help her with her SEN requirements. She has come on leaps, best thing we did to help her put her in nursery, however, did worry at first if we were doing the right thing but now know we definitely did.
Any problems are dealt with straight away and staff even get back to emails etc. - even on days off! Couldn’t recommend more.

I have three girls in Peekaboo nursery and all three have excelled since starting. They absolutely love going to nursery and sometimes get upset when it’s not a nursery day. They’ve all made lots of friends and love their key workers.
All the staff at Peekaboo are friendly and welcoming and are always
available to answer any queries and worries. I would 100% recommend Peekaboo to anyone.

Our little boy has been attending Peekaboo since January, we were apprehensive at first with it being our first baby however they put us at ease immediately he absolutely loves his days there and has a really strong bond with his primary carer. The app they have is amazing as they can send you photos
and let you know what your child’s been up to as well as eating!

My 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son attend Peek-a-boo. I've worked in the Early Years myself so know how much credit this nursery deserves. All the staff are lovely and they really take the time to get to know all the children, which is seen in the learning journeys. I recommend the nursery to
all my family and friends, really couldn't fault it.

My son has attended Peekaboo since he was 9 months old and absolutely loves it!


Peekaboo offers lots of opportunities for the children to explore and learn and I can honestly say sending my son to nursery twice a week has been the best decision in regards to his development.


Staff members are

all so caring and friendly with excellent communication.


I always recommend Peekaboo to friends/family with young children and will continue to do so.

We moved as a family just before lockdown in 2020, and our daughter had been at the same nursery since she was 9 months, nearly 4 at this time, Peekaboo made the transition so easy. They are all so lovely and work amazingly with all the children, my daughter has loved her time there and is sad to leave
to go to big school. However, we love it so much her little sister (2 years old) will be starting in September and we cannot wait for her to join the Peekaboo family. Thank you for everything you have done and still do through these difficult times

My husband and I were really worried about trying to find a nursery for our son during a global pandemic, and things haven’t been the same for us in terms of being able to see him settle in. However, the whole Peekaboo Childcare team made the whole experience so much better! My little boy loves it here
so much and always looks forward to his nursery days. The staff are more than amazing, and it really does feel like a home from home, they go above and beyond to keep me informed about everything he’s been up to, and he always has the best time at nursery. I can not thank the staff enough for everything that they have done and continue to do for my little one.
You really are the best!

All staff at Peekaboo Childcare have been amazing with our child and has helped with the transition from nursery to primary school. We have been in testing times and the staff have been so supportive, not only to the parent but have made the children feel so at ease throughout the pandemic. Our child
has been supported to express himself in different learning opportunities and have listened and adapted learning in different styles to suit. The staff are very welcoming and are happy to answer any questions. Our son has always felt at ease coming to nursery, this has put our minds at ease knowing our child is being well looked after. I could not recommend them enough and am very grateful for them helping us give him the best start in his learning experience.

We have as a family been with the Peekaboo family since 2012. I have four children, and all children have thoroughly enjoyed their days at nursery. Peekaboo has a variety to their day, also allowing free play and exploring different settings. The children love their trips to the local parks, and afternoon
peace-out sessions. The nursery itself is clean, has a natural environmental feel, and has a high level of security. We as parents always feel at ease when leaving our little ones at Peekaboo. The staff is warm and welcoming and always keeps us well informed. Our children always start and finish their day at nursery with a smile.

My little one started at Peekaboo Childcare a few months ago and he has just flourished since being there. The staff have been amazing at helping him to settle in and are incredibly nurturing and caring. I was anxious about my little boy going as he was born in lockdown so wasn’t use to be around a
lot of other people who weren’t in his immediate family but he settled so quickly and he loves going. He gets excited when we pull up to the nursery and reaches for the staff to go in. We have a lot of communication so we are aware of what he is up to and we can see how much fun he is having by all the lovely photos that are shared; he does a range of lovely activities and loves his outings! We feel that Peekaboo has provided our son with an excellent start to his nursery life and we would highly recommend.

With relocating to Torbay finding the right nursery for my little boy that would meet all his needs I felt pressured. Then after finding Peekaboo Childcare I was put at ease straight away. My little boy has now been at this setting for over a year now and he’s just flourished! He has so many fabulous
experiences whilst he’s there and it’s basically like his second family. To see your child excited to go nursery and basically running through the doors without looking back to say bye is a clear indication he’s loving it. Even more so, he wants to go to nursery at the weekends and he’s rather put out that he can’t go. Even throughout this pandemic, the support from the setting has been above and beyond for both child and parent. I can highly recommend this nursery setting and I know my little boy has a year left now with him going to school in September 2022 but I know he’ll be sad to be leaving when the time comes. So from the staffing, the structure and academics of this setting you certainly won’t be disappointed!

My 3 year old son started in October 2020 after a delay due to covid. He previously had settling issues at another nursery. After missing out on starting at Peekaboo Childcare due to the waiting list being full. Eventually, space opened up for him at Peekaboo Childcare and we transferred him here. From
day one, he settled straight away (no phone call after half-hour to collect him), he has a speech delay so finds it difficult to communicate with other people. But amazingly Peekaboo has worked magic on him and his speech is coming on loads now. He totally loves his keyworkers. Peekaboo has taken him out to the park and local community and sing and dance for the elderly during lockdown and sending birthday cards to a dear chap who turned 100 who my son now thinks is grandad. My son is always happy to go to nursery with fun things to do especially the water and sand play. Safe to say Peekaboo is a lovely place for kids to go and learn. Couldn't recommend them enough, honestly an amazing family feeling place.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.875) out of 10 for Peekaboo Childcare (Torquay) Ltd 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Peekaboo Childcare (Torquay) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Peekaboo Childcare (Torquay) Ltd is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.5

  • 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.
