A nursery that feels more like a family. I'm an ex-employee, I've worked here and it's been a wonderful experience. The staff are kind, friendly and experienced to take care of children. Playpals is a nursery that cares and is a great environment for your children to develop and grow.

Both of my kids went here and we always found it to be a friendly family nursery. They both learnt so much and enjoyed every minute of it.

I have been to this nursery as both a child and a member of staff. Both experiences have been wonderful, the staff work so hard and are so good at what they do. Real experts and also lovely people. I felt safe and happy there as a child and remember loving the nursery nurses. The nursery has a real warm family feel to it. Definitely recommend.
