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!
Read on GoogleMatilda is our first child and this is our first time at a Nursery. I underestimated the service you provide. Not is it simply about caring for our children and making sure they don't jump off things or eat bugs, it's also about safeguarding and educating them. The interlinks with the local schools, the learning path the children go on, the friendships they make sets them up beautifully for their next adventure, school. I can't thank you enough for the service you provide, Matilda loved every day. Thank you from me to all the staff at Pennypot Nursery, brilliant job. A
Read on GooglePennypot Nursery is phenomenal. Considering I am a highly critical person and am 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 everyday. I love that you get to walk to your childs 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!!
Read on GoogleFab nursery. The staff could not be more engaged and caring for the children. Both our sons went here and they had an amazing experience and left with such fond memories and some lasting friendships. Highly recommend the Pennypot team. Special mentioned to Cathy, Leonie, Darryl, Laura and Sinead.
Read on GoogleI have two children at Pennypot who have absolutely thrived here. My eldest is off to school in September and Pennypot have provided him with the most wonderful and enriching 4 years. The care that all members of staff take over the children here is superb - we truly could not ask for a better childcare setting. Thank you Pennypot- we are lucky to have found such a fantastic nursery for both our boys!
