I can't recommend Pennypot Day Nursery enough! My son has been attending for some time now, and the level of care and attention he receives is truly exceptional. The staff at Pennypot are incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They go above and beyond to make sure that each child feels safe, happy, and supported throughout the day. The team is always warm and welcoming, and they create a nurturing environment where children can thrive. The communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel well-informed about my son's progress and daily activities. It's clear that the staff are not only highly skilled but also passionate about their work, which gives me peace of mind knowing my child is in such capable hands. I can see my son's confidence growing, and he absolutely loves his time there. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and professional nursery, Pennypot Day Nursery is definitely the place to go!

My son has now been at Pennypot (Caterpillars room) since September and he simply loves it. When I was pregnant, we did a tour of nurseries in the area, and I can say, hands down, Pennypot was the "McLaren" of nurseries. The facilities are beautifully complimented by kind, compassionate, knowledgeable staff, who understand each of the stages of development, but also the needs of each individual child. The care they have given my son, specifically in relation to his development, allergies and preferences has stretched far beyond what we could have hoped for. An example has taken place recently, where the staff, knowing my son loves everything "dog", have bought him various dog-related books and toys to help him with his development, but also just to make sure he is comfortable and happy. We are so thrilled our son goes to Pennypot. Absolutely amazing in every way.

We would recommend Pennypot Day Nursery to other parents wholeheartedly! Our son joined the Caterpillar room at 10 months old on a full-time basis and settled in from day one, and we couldn't be happier with our choice to send him there. The absolute best thing about Pennypot is the staff. From his keyworkers and the rest of the Caterpillar team, to the kitchen staff and the front desk team, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Within a matter of days of joining, everyone we passed at drop off said hello and knew his name. When he was at home poorly, they called to check in to see how he's doing and we just know they genuinely care. And when we starting talking about the transition to the next room, we were close to tears as know how much he loves the staff who look after him - although we have no doubt the Ladybird room will be just as good for him! The facilities (garden etc.) are also great, he does tonnes of activities and eats so well (better than at home for sure!). Thank you Pennypot!

I honestly could not recommend enough about this nursery. When I was 7 months pregnant we went round a number of nurseries in the area and both my husband and I felt immediately this was the one for us. Ultimately as parents we have to choose somewhere we feel is a warm, friendly environment but also a place you can trust. We felt this and haven't looked back - our daughter is thriving. From the sensory way she learns, the attention she gets from all staff members (from key workers, the other fab team members around her, the chefs! To the reception and management) - every single person is a delight and I know everyday we leave her she's in safe and happy hands. Cannot thank the team enough.

Our daughter has been in the Caterpillars room for 3 months and loves it. We couldn't be happier with the care she receives and how we can see that she is developing. She has built great relationships with not just her key worker but with all of the team at the nursery. You can see how well cared for and how happy all of the children are. We are looking forward to seeing how our daughter continues to flourish when she moves up to Ladybirds next month. We would very much recommend Pennypot Day Nursery to anyone considering the nursery.

The Pennypot staff in the Caterpillars room and reception have all been very welcoming and supportive during the settle-in sessions. The updates on the app have been very detailed and helped us understand our child's development. Our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the varied menu on offer. As an anxious mother, I was nervous at the prospect of our daughter starting nursery, however, the Caterpillar staff were patient during the settle-in period and got to know our child. She has since grown in her skillset, social skills and personality. It is great to see her now confidently and enthusiastically walk into Pennypot.

I cannot explain how happy we are that our little boy attends Pennypot Day Nursery. Having been a teacher myself, we looked at a LOT of nurseries but fell in love with Pennypot as soon as we visited. The staff are so friendly and welcoming from the start and it's so lovely and reassuring to see the genuinely affectionate bonds they build with the children who attend. Our little boy is so happy to go in and regularly makes us wait so he can give adults in his room a cuddle or say goodbye properly before we go home at the end of the day. He has developed so much since he first started and his confidence has grown a lot too. Transitions between rooms are very carefully thought out and it is clear that every effort is made to make these as smooth as possible for the children and their parents. We are currently expecting baby number 2 and have already completed a registration form for 2027 - there is nowhere else we would want her to go to nursery!

We were very nervous sending our little girl to nursery as she had never been in a childcare setting before. The staff at Pennypot were amazing at helping her settle in and gave her the confidence and support she needed. Since being at Pennypot our daughter has learnt so much, she is so happy there and loves taking part in all the fun activities they plan for them.

Our little boy started at Pennypot when he was 13 months old. As our first, we were naturally anxious about finding somewhere we could really trust and where we felt he would be looked after as if he was at home. We found just that place in Pennypot and couldn't be happier! We fell in love with the nursery when looking around on a sunny day in the summer before our little boy was even born. When the time came for our son to start going to nursery we wondered if the reality would live up to our expectations but it has surpassed all hopes. All of the staff are warm and friendly and it is clear they care about the children and take pride in the nursery. The outside spaces are great and the children do a wide variety of activities. A particular member of staff has been amazing as our son's key worker. He is now about to "graduate" out of the baby room and into Ladybirds as a sociable, happy little boy excited for what is to come! It really is a fabulous nursery and we are so happy to have found it.

The wonderful staff at Pennypot made our little one's transition from home to nursery one of fun and comfort, which in turn eased my wife's transition back to work. The settling sessions offered were the perfect amount of time for us all to get to grips with the new routine and the communication during, and at the end of, each day is brilliant. We especially like seeing the delicious menu offered to our son and hearing what/how much he's eaten. The learning opportunities in the rooms seem broad and well-targeted at the children's ages and interests and we love seeing the photos of the different activities he enjoys throughout the day. We are always welcomed by happy, enthusiastic staff every time we drop off/pick up and my son practically jumps into their arms every morning! We feel so lucky to have found such a warm, friendly and caring place to leave our little man and feel safe in the knowledge that his needs are being brilliantly met. Thank you, Manager and team!

We were extremely nervous sending our son to nursery when he was 8.5 months old and leaving him was hard, but it didn't take long for us to realise our son was having the best time at Pennypot and we quickly felt very comfortable. The staff have been fantastic with our son, he adores them so much, he reaches out for them at drop off! The daily updates on the app are great as we know what he has eaten throughout the day, nappy changes and nap times, we also get occasional photos which is lovely to see. We are very impressed with how attentive the staff are with our son and how well they know him. They always do what they can to cater to our son's needs and what works for him with nap times and specific toys, even when it is different to other children his age group. We have required additional support due to our son's developmental needs and the staff have been so supportive and helpful. We cannot thank them enough! We would highly recommend Pennypot!

We feel very lucky to have our two children at Pennypot Nursery! We have been impressed by the settings of the rooms: very spacious, lots of light and very organised. The staff are very friendly and very helpful, they always greet you with a big smile and both our children enjoy their days at Pennypot!
22 November 2024
I would recommend Pennypot Nursery to anyone! Both my son and I adore the nursery and every single member of staff. It has provided the perfect nurturing environment for him to thrive intellectually, socially, emotionally and creatively. My son struggled to settle when he first joined and I found it difficult to leave him, but the Pennypot staff showed him so much kindness and patience (with the help of some super fun activities) that soon, we both grew in confidence. I am so grateful for the work the nursery puts in and how they have set him up for success in the future. Thank you Pennypot!

Our little boy transitioned to Pennypot from another nursery as we moved to the area. Our experience has been fantastic. The staff ensured the transition was as smooth as possible. We were even invited to the annual BBQ prior to joining so we could meet the staff and other parents. The children have the ability to self-select activities and spend a lot of time outdoors (weather permitting!) The quality of the updates, reports, and learning logs is excellent, with us receiving development updates and photos on a weekly basis. We have seen a remarkable improvement in our little boy's development since attending. The food menu is incredible and I am genuinely amazed as to what our little boy has eaten and how much! Our key worker is very attentive and provides detailed updates at the end of the day and will always try to accommodate additional requests when appropriate (e.g. adjustment to nap times). Thank you for all of your support, Pennypot!

Our son has been attending Pennypot for just under a year now and loves every single second he is there. The staff are absolutely brilliant with him and do an amazing job at helping him develop, keeping him safe, and entertaining him with a wide range of toys and activities. We are always kept up to date on his progress and the team in the caterpillars room really know him well. The fact he will jump from our arms to theirs and wave us off, gives us the confidence that he loves it and is having the best time.

Pennypot Day Nursery is simply exceptional. As a worried new mum returning to work I wondered if I'd be able to find somewhere that we felt truly comfortable with our baby daughter attending, but from the moment I walked through the doors it felt like a second home for her. All of the staff know each child by name and are always friendly and polite. The staff are genuinely interested in getting to know each individual child which creates a close-knit and loving environment. The communication between staff and parents is completely open and honest, with regular updates via the app throughout the day. If any challenges do arise, the nursery team work with the parents to solve things together. We regard Pennypot as an extension of our daily support network in raising our child, with her key person even providing guidance on getting our child to sleep through the night which was a huge success. I feel lucky to have my child at Pennypot where she is clearly thriving, thank you so much!

Love this nursery. Couldn't recommend Pennypot Day Nursery enough... the staff are all so friendly and all seem to deeply care about all of the children. I was mega nervous about leaving my daughter who was 13 months old however they made it super seamless and put me at ease. My daughter is now very settled and absolutely loves it! They are always great at sharing how she has been that day and I love the meal updates and seeing the snapshots with her. We currently get monthly development updates and these are super detailed and demonstrates that they are just as focused on her development as we are as her parents.

Pennypot Day Nursery is phenomenal. Considering I am a highly critical person and my job relies on my criticality, I cannot fault a single thing about Pennypot. Every single member of staff is so lovely, warming and welcoming and how they remember the name of every single child is beyond me! Everyone is incredibly professional and I feel completely safe dropping my child there every day. I love that you get to walk to your child's room to drop them off and pick them up rather than waiting at reception and the daily updates on the app are very helpful. The activities they plan in each class are so helpful for development and they dedicate time daily to practice the skills/tools that each child is learning. As you can tell, I couldn't recommend Pennypot enough!

Our son attended Pennypot from just under a year old all the way through to pre-school. The team at Pennypot were amazing from the start (when we were still under Covid restrictions and social distancing was still in force) all the way through to help prepare our son for a house and pre-school move. All the staff are warm, welcoming, understanding and as helpful as they possibly can be with our son's interests and strengths recognised and activities planned accordingly. He was able to play outside the whole day if he wanted (generally every day!) and he was sad to leave Pennypot where he had flourished and made so many friends. The staff remained consistent throughout and our son was still able to see his key people from when he was younger, this consistency really made us all feel like we belonged. Had it not been for a relocation we would have kept him there until it was time for him to start school. Thank you Pennypot!

I can’t describe Pennypot any other way than magical. Our son has flourished under the guidance of not just his room teachers, but all the staff, management included. The focus at the nursery is 100% about the children. Every single member of staff is friendly, approachable, and seem to know all the children’s names. We will miss Pennypot terribly. Not only have they provided a safe learning and play environment for our son but they have been supportive with us as parents, helping us navigate all the stages from toddler to preschooler. I couldn’t recommend Pennypot enough and any child that gets the chance to attend will be utterly fortunate (as will their parents!).
