About this day nursery

Lets Play Nursery, established in 1995, operates all year round from Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 6pm, providing care for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted during its latest inspection on 14 March 2024.

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are noted to make rapid progress from their individual starting points. The nursery has a well-qualified Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) who provides tailored support, quickly identifying when children might need additional help and collaborating with other professionals.

The dedicated staff team, led by inspirational leaders, carefully considers each child's unique experiences and works to enhance the learning environment with resources that match their fascinations. This thoughtful approach sparks children's curiosity and engagement.

Children are given numerous opportunities for outdoor learning, where they can freely explore, engage in imaginative play like making "soup" or building a "house for hedgehogs," which fosters teamwork and negotiation skills. The nursery places the highest priority on children's communication and language development, with rich conversations and dedicated story time before naps.

This focus ensures children develop a wide and varied vocabulary, becoming confident communicators. The nursery fosters strong and trusting relationships between staff and children, with a respectful approach woven into their practice, ensuring play and learning are never interrupted.

As a parent, I cannot speak highly enough of Let’s Play Nursery. From the very first day, my child was welcomed into a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where they have truly thrived. The staff are caring, attentive, and professional, always going above and beyond to make sure each child feels valued and supported. I have seen such positive growth in my child’s confidence, social skills, and learning since joining the nursery. The activities are creative, engaging, and well-planned, encouraging curiosity and independence while also focusing on early development. What stands out most is the genuine warmth and dedication of the team. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel reassured that my child is in the best possible hands. I am grateful to Let’s Play Nursery for providing such a wonderful start to my child’s early years, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and inspiring nursery.

My daughter has been attending Let’s Play Day Nursery for over a year now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and support she receives. The staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to make sure she is happy, safe, and thriving every single day. A special mention to Lucy, Zee, Sabah A, Grace, and Charlie. They are truly wonderful. Each of them takes the time to make sure my daughter feels comfortable and cared for, and it really shows in how excited she is to go in every morning. They have also been so patient and supportive with her potty training, which has made such a difference and taken a lot of pressure off at home. It’s also lovely to receive regular updates on Tapestry, so I can see what she’s been doing and watch her progress. It’s reassuring to know she’s having fun, learning new things, and being so well looked after. I’m so grateful for the amazing team at Let’s Play Day Nursery. They really are doing the best to look after my daughter, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Best best best nursery within 10 miles. We enquired nearly 10 nurseries prior to calling Sue for our both children nearly a year ago and were so amazed the great service they provide to both our children everyday at such a small price. Sue, Grace, Annie, Tania, Dee, and every staff they have are amazing. Both are children are growing so well and are always excited to go to the nursery every morning. Thank you so much to all of you for looking after our kids.

After visiting local nurseries rated outstanding by ofsted I still wasn't satisfied. As soon as I walked into Let's Play Nursery I felt a warm, inviting family environment. The staff go above and beyond for the children. I have sent 2 of my daughters and have NEVER had an issue. If I could give 10 stars I would. Highly recommended xXx
