Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their learning from their various starting points. There is good support in place for children with SEND. Leaders work with the team to recognise and plan appropriately for children's individual learning needs through observations and ongoing assessments. They work well with parents, as well as other professionals to provide a consistent approach to meet the individual needs of children with SEND.

Outdoor space

All children enjoy daily outdoor play, where they pretend to make fires by mixing colours and using coloured tissue paper, learning about fire safety. Staff provide children with lots of opportunities to be active in the fresh air and explore the local community. In the garden, children develop their balance and take safe risks when they explore the obstacle course.

Our son attended Playdays on Comeragh Road for three years, and it was a very positive experience for both him and us. The teachers are kind yet firm, creating a nurturing and supportive environment that really helped him overcome his shyness and grow in confidence. Over time, he became bolder and more comfortable expressing himself. He is now showing the traits of a curious, kind, and gentle boy, and we truly believe the seeds for this were sown during his time at Playdays. We are very grateful to the wonderful staff and would highly recommend Playdays to other families

Our daughter joined Playdays Nursery when she was just 1 year old, starting in the Babies Room. Since then, she’s grown and progressed through the Rainbow Room, and now attends the Preschool. Watching her journey at Playdays has been truly wonderful. She absolutely loves going to nursery—there hasn’t been a single day she didn’t want to go! She’s formed such strong bonds with her teachers and classmates, and her best friends today are all from Playdays. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. They take the time to make each child feel special and supported. Every day, we receive a detailed summary of all the activities she’s been involved in, which gives us such peace of mind and keeps us connected to her day. Playdays offers an amazing variety of activities that keep the children engaged and excited to learn. From learning French and swimming lessons to Diddi Dance, outdoor activities, and creative play, there’s always something fun and enriching for them to do. We now have 10-month-old twins who have recently joined Playdays, and we’re confident that their experience will be just as wonderful as their sister’s. Knowing they’re in such a caring and stimulating environment gives us so much reassurance. We’re so grateful to have found Playdays—it’s truly been a second home for our children, and we couldn’t recommend it enough to other families.

Our son attended Playdays for 15 months. As a family we were so glad we managed to get a placement for him at Playdays. The caring staff made him feel welcome and he settled quite well and quickly. He was so happy there and we could tell that the care given to him was close enough to be personal and suit his individual needs. We could not have wished for a better nursery, and would have loved our son to continue there, but we moved area. We are so grateful to Playdays and highly recommend any family to put their children in such a caring, stimulating, encouraging and positive atmosphere. We thank you Playdays and wish you all the best and send our love.

Our son attends Playdays in the pre-school room. We are extremely pleased with the nursery. The staff obviously have a lot of experience and really get to know each child and how to get the best out of them. The variety of activities carried out is fantastic, our son really enjoys each day spent at the nursery and we feel that he is learning a lot, for instance, his ability to form sentences evolved very soon after he joined the pre-school class. The manager is brilliant, communication with her is efficient, and she is always so prompt to respond should we ever have any queries or questions. We'd highly recommend Playdays for anyone looking for a great nursery that offers their child a place to thrive.

Our son has moved to Playdays when he was 3yrs old from another nursery and we couldn’t be happier of our choice. The staff is fantastic, kind and engaging and always finding new ways to stimulate the kids. They offer loads of activities (dance, swimming, French..) which gives something to look forward to the kids and provide lots of additional learnings (and fun!) + trips to the park. We absolutely love this nursery, it was truly a blessing and will definitely miss the staff now that it’s time for primary school!
