About this day nursery

Play Station Nursery Ltd caters to children aged 3 months to 5 years, operating across three distinct locations: School Close, Filton, and Barley Close in Bristol. Each setting is designed to offer a nurturing and stimulating environment that feels like a comfortable extension of home, facilitating a smooth transition from family life to nursery.

The nursery places a strong emphasis on learning through play, fostering independence, confidence, and an understanding of the world in a respectful atmosphere. Children are encouraged to explore and challenge themselves through a wide array of experiences, with staff guiding rather than dictating.

The School Close branch, a purpose-built facility, can accommodate 70 children and boasts two large outdoor spaces with amenities like sandpits, construction areas, bikes, and trikes, allowing for free-flow access to the outdoor environment. The nursery prides itself on its inclusive approach, welcoming children with diverse needs, including dietary requirements, allergies, medical conditions, and special educational needs.

All food is freshly prepared daily on-site, with mealtimes viewed as opportunities to model good eating habits and encourage conversation.

My daughter has been attending PlayStation for one week now and the difference between here and her previous nursery is massive. My daughter has attended 3 sessions and has already been to the park and enjoyed lots of sensory activity's. The staff are so welcoming and friendly really putting the child’s needs and interests first. The meals are healthy and substantial and communication to parents exceptional. The price of this setting is half what I was paying at her previous nursery recieving alot more care and attention than we ever recieved there. I am regularly sent photos of my child via the app and able to see how much fun she is having. My daughter has settled into this session very well and staff are always willing to give her extra cuddles when she needs them.

It is more than a nursery. It was my daughter's second home full of happiness and constant care. A wonderful place where she learn a lot. The stuff was lovely, food was delicious and I did not pay a penny for being late, when something unplanned happened in my life. My daughter is doing very well at school. Her grades are above expectations and I highly recommend that place without a doubt.
