November 15, 2022 at 12:00 amWhat an amazing group of people! Always so helpful, compassionate and kind. Good teamwork and genuine care for the children. Would 100% recommend anyone to send their babies here. They will be looked after and cared for brilliantly.

November 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started at Play Away at eleven months old in March 2021. He was a lockdown baby, and I had spent every minute with him up until that point, so sending him to nursery left me feeling extremely anxious. However, I need not have worried. My son’s first key worker, whose care and attention left me feeling so reassured (and a bit warm and fuzzy inside). At two and a half years old, he has continued to thrive with the support of this dedicated team and is now in Elmer Elephants with another wonderful key worker. He loves to tell me about his adventures with her and his friends, and I love to hear them. Watching my son’s imagination, speech, numeric, and social skills blossom in this caring environment has been an absolute joy, and it is that care that has allowed him to grow so confidently. To any parent looking for a nursery who is passionate about your child’s development, Play Away City day nursery would be hard to beat.

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son started at Play Away Day Nursery in June 2022. We had never left him alone with anyone and we were apprehensive but nursery staff were reassuring and just kind really (to him and to us!) He did struggle to settle and again staff were quick to act to ensure he was in the most nurturing environment possible to support his transition and advised a move to the cosy and delightful Little Owls. After one session in the Little Owls, he was back on track – happy, playing and smiley. Great advice and absolutely the right decision. He just needed a bit of time really and now he loves being back in the Hungry Caterpillars.
Staff in the nursery have such a great energy. They are on hand to tell us about our son’s day, his activities and his learning journey. We are always left feeling that they really care for him – when they talk about what he’s done it’s with a sense of pride.
The recent Ofsted rating of Good is well deserved. Lovely, passionate staff who know their stuff.

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been a part of the Play Away family since he was 8 months old, I never wanted or thought I would put him into nursery so young but as I was studying I had no choice. He’s now 3 and I cannot recommend this nursery enough, every single staff member helped my son and me settle in so easily, he has learnt so much and his social skills have exceeded also.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy children have been at Play Away since 2018. The staff are amazing, you can see they truly care for your children.
Both my children have learnt so much by attending Play Away. If I have my time again, I would still pick Play Away.
They are dedicated to your children and their needs. The admin staff are also amazing, will go and out of their way to helps.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery nurses who are really caring. Good learning activities. Slightly more expensive compared to other nurseries in town. They encourage children to become independent. Management needs improvement as well as communication with parents via the app.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 3-year-old is very happy at Play Away Day Nursery. It is evident how influential his keyworkers and nursery staff are in his cultural education, development needs and expectations and communication. My son has many allergies and the nursery have been absolutely vigilant regarding managing his dietary requirements, which as a mother, is so very reassuring. Would highly recommend Play Away to all parents.

June 16, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter loved her time in hungry caterpillars, the staff there made her feel very welcome and safe. They seem to offer a wide range of activities to keep the kids entertained and a good menu of food that our daughter enjoys, she never comes home hungry. The app is also handy so you can keep up with what your child is up to during the day.

July 10, 2023 at 12:00 amLovely staff showing dedication and patience to the children.
Thank you for helping with potty training, caring when my son wasn’t feeling well, making every day a fun environment to go to which was always very important. My son has been attending nursery for a year and a half now and he loves it in there. He always goes there with a smile and comes back home still smiling.

August 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Play Away – Southampton City for almost 4 years. He loved going in every morning.
The staff are very friendly, supportive, and they provide him with so much care, attention, and positivity. They really care about children’s learning and development and ensure parents are involved too.
My son learned a lot, developed many friendships and has developed from a baby to a confident boy.
