I was very anxious putting my son in to nursery and returning to work full time. I visited so many nurseries and didn't feel comfortable until I met Leah. She made me feel at ease instantly and my son who was only 8 months old instantly connected and gave her a huge smile, Leah showed me around the while nursery explaining every detail that they do there. I then met with Emma and my son again gave the highest smile. Emma and I instantly connected. I booked my son in for his settling in sessions and he didn't cry once unlike me. We have been full time since July and my son has come on leaps and bounds, he loves going here and the relationship he has with Emma and the other staff is amazing. He loves going to nursery and always greets the girls with smiles and hugs and when I pick him up after a full day he is still full of smiles even though he has had a full day of learning and playing. We have a handover every day when I collect him and they don't miss any stone unturned. He has been poorly a few times and they have been straight on the phone explaining the problem and when I have picked him up they have shown me his temperature chart and the times they have given him medicine (with my consent) Knowing I'm leaving my son with such an amazing team of ladies makes me feel so much at ease and knowing he is having a fabulous time and isn't unhappy makes it all worth while. If anyone looking for a nursery I hand on heart give them 10 out of 10 for literally everything. A very big thank you to Emma who is my son's key worker for building such a strong and special relationship with my son.

Our son loves going to nursery at Playtime Shepperton and it's easy to see why; the nursery is lovely, light and colourful, with a wonderful soft play. The staff are wonderful, friendly and caring with the children; the food is varied and well balanced; and the toys and equipment are clean. We seek comfort knowing that our son is well looked after during the time that he is at nursery and from parents that were truly anxious about being away from our son we feel so lucky to have found such a perfect nursery. The management team are always on hand to help to assist in anyway.

This nursery is excellent! I’ve been here 3 half years and put both my children through. All my invoices have been impeccable. When I have had a query requiring my invoicing Stacey in accounts has always been efficient and professional. I always pay my invoices on time and clearly this parent doesn’t pay! With regards to the management and staff I am outraged as they are always accommodating to our needs and varying requests!
