Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The provider understands what they want children to learn and provides a curriculum to engage children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff with specific expertise and roles are aware of their responsibilities and support children, parents and staff in seeking the assistance they may need.
Outdoor space
All children relish being out in the garden area. Toddlers and pre-school children enjoy searching for ladybirds and other bugs, sharing their finds, and discussing their colours. Staff consistently support children to use resources and negotiate the outdoor areas safely, such as climbing over tyres or the climbing frame.

My daughter attends here, she has done since 9 months of age- she is now almost three years old. On weekends she asks if she can go to nursery, she enjoys sharing what she has learned with us. The nursery have been amazing in working alongside us with potty training. My daughter has strong bonds with the staff members, she often talks about her teachers at home. I feel confident and happy to leave my daughter in their care. Soon my son will be registered here and he will embark on his journey through the best nursery in the area like his sister has had the opportunity to do so. Keep up the great work!

Our son goes to playtime nursery 1.5 days a week, our experience with the nursery to date has been very positive. They have been flexible with our needs and our son has settled in there very well. I would recommend playtime to anyone who is looking for a family atmosphere and the staff are genuinely brilliant with the kids.

Playtime nursery is excellent, I have only used one other nursery in the area but this one is by far the best. It is not my closet nursery but I am very willing to travel to Staines for my daughter to attend playtime. The staff are fantastic and even though my daughter only goes one day a week, they have such a good relationship with her. The fun learning is a great approach used and I feel that my daughter is developing well. I know that my daughter is happy, safe and well looked after and would highly recommend it.

We had to move my son from his previous nursery due to certain circumstances and play time nursery Staines were so accommodating for not only a worried mum but also for my son who didn’t understand what was going on. All staff are so friendly, welcoming and professional. My son is so happy there, I could not fault it.

Fantastic nursery! Our little one has been going since he was 9 months old (over a year now) and I can totally recommend it. The stuff is friendly, professional and reliable, communication is excellent, food varied and of good quality, wonderfully stimulating environment. I can't find a single negative thing to comment on, we just love it there.
