My daughter has been at Pippa’s in Claygate for almost four months and she absolutely loves it there. The staff are all so committed and caring and that really shines through in how happy and settled my daughter is. She has the biggest smile on her face when she arrives at nursery every day and she loves all of the activities she does while she is there. I couldn’t recommend Pippa’s highly enough.

Our two children both absolutely love attending Pippa’s House. The staff are all so friendly, caring and bubbly and create a warm and welcoming environment. Staff turnover is minimal which is so nice to experience compared to a previous setting we attended and this also creates consistency for the children. The activities both children experience each day are varied and engaging and we love getting our daily updates via the app which is always kept up to date with lots of pics and info. A home from home type setting, we couldn’t be happier with the care both of our children receive here!

My little girl has been at Pippa's House since she was nearly 1 and has loved it! The staff there are so nurturing and caring, and take time to really understand the children and get to know the families. My little one is thriving at Pippa's House and has built some wonderful relationships with the staff and other children. Would highly recommend.

Pippa's House is a delightful nursery, and with both of my children enrolled here, I can confidently say that they adore the time they spend at Pippa's House. It is cosy, family-friendly and an intimate size. My daughter was one of the first to join when it opened, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Her enthusiasm for Pippa's House prompted us to extend her attendance, a decision we have never regretted. Our second child recently joined the nursery, and it's heartwarming to witness him blossom in this nurturing environment. Pippa's House staff are exceptional, exhibiting the utmost professionalism and warmth. They consistently go the extra mile to provide excellent care and attention to the children. It's evident that they genuinely care about the well-being and development of every child. Pippa's House excels in organisation, keeping parents well-informed, and maintaining fantastic communication. I recommend Pippa's House to anyone searching for childcare in the heart of Claygate.

Pippa's House is brilliant at nurturing and encouraging my daughter's curious mind. She has been going there since it opened and is so happy to arrive there in the mornings. Now she's in pre-school, she can't wait to tell me about the exciting things she's been up to during the day. I think she has more friends in the village then we do! Highly recommend.
