September 2, 2024 at 7:50 pmWould definitely suggest. The team are very welcoming and efficient. I sense our kids are cheerful and secure in the setting. My Son and Daughter have both attended Puffins at Clystheath over the years and I’ve been very impressed with it.

September 10, 2024 at 4:14 pmThe settling-in process was so remarkable, regular sessions with and without me as well as a home visit meant that both I and my son were prepared for his first full day. I have really spent most days with my son since he was born so to allow someone else to take care of him was a huge deal. The girls, particularly his key worker, have all been so inviting and compassionate to us both, they have made the entire process so easy. Now we look forward to Wednesdays as I know he’s in the best hands and he is going to have a enjoyable-filled day. I can’t suggest Puffins enough, they have been remarkable from the get-go. My son started with Puffins Clystheath in July.

September 19, 2024 at 8:34 pmVery accommodating and flexible with bookings if I’ve needed to move on the odd occasion and I have been able to book in extra sessions. All the team are so welcoming and approachable and I really sense at ease when I leave him there. He’s consistently so excited on the days he goes to childcare centre; he goes off no problem and comes out so cheerful. Thank you puffins! Our son has been with Puffins at Clystheath since the beginning of March 2022 and they have been nothing short of incredible.

September 25, 2024 at 7:46 amThe team are all very expert, welcoming and engaging. If we’ve had a problem they have been very quick to sort anything out. They are cheerful to swap days and accommodate extra sessions which is reassuring when we’ve had to make unplanned short-notice amendments to our schedule. The online system is exceptional and we get updates throughout the day of sleeps, nappies, food and activities. The team are all very welcoming and attentive. The process of putting her into childcare centre was made much easier knowing that she was in a secure and interactive setting. Our daughter started in February 2022 and so far we’ve been really cheerful with the service.

November 3, 2024 at 11:35 pmThe team are lovely and very expert. They have been incredible with helping my son through potty training, their assistance has been instrumental in the process! The kids take part in a excellent range of activities (we delight in seeing the photos and videos!) and they get to spend lots of time playing outdoors. My son loves attending childcare centre!

December 1, 2024 at 1:47 amThey have been incredible with my son’s transition from a previous childcare centre that did not suit him. They have made me sense at ease with offering help should he need any additional assistance and made us both sense so welcome. They have provided all the assistance adore and care he needs so far and kept me up to date with how his day has been with pictures on the app. All team are smiley and positive and do lots of enjoyable activities with the kids. I cannot praise Clystheath Puffins enough.

December 24, 2024 at 6:20 pmThe girls there are so great with her and put our minds to rest whilst we are working by updating the app throughout the day. My little one seems to get a varied diet there and takes part in different activities which stimulate her mind. My little one loves going to this childcare centre!

January 6, 2025 at 10:20 amFully cater to every need for your kid and yourself! Would 100% suggest! I’m so glad I chose this childcare centre for my daughter. She has become the most clever strong independent cheerful little girl! The team at Puffins at Clystheath are just honestly all so lovely and incredible!

January 8, 2025 at 4:14 pmThey are remarkable with communicating with me about my daughter on pick up and drop off.
They truly have helped my little one in so many ways and supported me with my journey to getting her diagnosed.
They have exceptional games and activities which have helped her learn and grow into a very smart and independent 3-year-old.
I would 100% suggest, as the manager and team are just exceptional and really made my little girl comfortable, and relaxed and she’s consistently coming out excited to tell me about her day what she’s done and where she’s been etc. Clysthealth childcare centre is by far one of the best.

February 16, 2025 at 7:22 amThe bond each member of team forms with each individual kid is incredible, it massively helps with supporting and catering to their needs and has helped ease my nerves with regard to leaving my kids in secure hands. I couldn’t suggest Puffins, Clystheath enough, a big thank you! My kids have attended Puffins from the baby group right up until preschool, the team have been completely incredible at supporting both myself and my kids.

March 13, 2025 at 5:41 amMy son loved to be there. He stayed for two years, and every day he wants to go there. The team are very welcoming and passionate.
They explore different kinds of activities, especially during preschool. During the year, they go outside to take some walks at the local park or library or even to see the trains. I would like to leave my appreciation to all team for the assistance we received during this time. I couldn’t be more pleased with this childcare centre.

April 6, 2025 at 8:36 amHe is so content and cheerful there. All the team are so dedicated and you can see they all have a great relationship with the kids. Our younger kid has been attending the same childcare centre for nearly 6 months and the team try to ensure they can playtime and see each other as much as possible. Our younger kid had more of a struggle settling but the team were patient, did a home visit and lots of little settling in sessions to get her used to them. We get some lovely photos sent home on Tapestry and get regular updates about their days. They both go on lots of trips and they are content going into childcare centre in the morning. The team at Puffins have been really flexible with us when we had issues with our universal credit claim and we were able to resolve it quickly. Also a bonus, they offer sibling discount. Puffins have also been flexible with the days we have booked, due to a potential change in my working hours. My toddler has been coming to Puffins, Clyst Heath for over 2 years now.

April 6, 2025 at 12:03 pmI can tell he has already started to form bonds with the childcare centre team and they have identified activities that he was interested in very quickly, which has made the settling-in process as stress-free as it could be. I couldn’t be happier than how the childcare centre team have welcomed our son in his first week.
Kai Taylor
April 28, 2025 at 5:48 pmThey were very well‑informed about the provision and could answer all my questions at the time. The settling sessions have been positive and all the team are welcoming and approachable. We are now looking forward to our daughter starting with the childcare centre and sense that the outdoor space coupled with the attentive and organised team will allow her to delight in her days at Puffins at Clystheath. The childcare centre has been incredibly accommodating and understanding of our particular circumstances and arranged a show around at very short notice.

May 20, 2025 at 9:16 pmHe’s consistently cheerful to get there and consistently has a big smile when I pick him up. The entire team are so incredible and are very attentive to everything the kids are doing. They genuinely care about the well-being of each kid and have noticed small changes which they will consistently let the parent know so that we can also monitor those changes. The updates on meals, sleep, nappy changes & activity pictures give me a peace of mind as a parent. I’m really grateful for everyone – you guys are terrific. General updates is excellent as well – one team member is consistently incredible in her updates. I’m glad I chose Puffins. I’d definitely suggest getting your kid in there if you get the chance. It’s excellent value for money. My son couldn’t be happier which makes me cheerful! Thank you guys. My son has been at Puffins going on 2 months now and he absolutely loves it.

June 16, 2025 at 9:55 amHe had a terrible food aversion and with the help of team, he now eats perfectly. His social and language skills improved and the team has been incredibly supportive with all of his needs. Can highly suggest it, our son loves attending and has a lot of enjoyable. The childcare centre has been incredible at supporting our son.
Reese Walker
June 21, 2025 at 4:53 amShe goes on exciting trips and adventures the team are outstanding and are very accommodating to all needs. Overall, an outstanding childcare centre! My niece has thrived since being at Clystheath Puffins, her speech has greatly developed as well as her social skills.
Jamie Clarke
July 5, 2025 at 8:25 amAll the team and managers were so supportive in helping ease the transition by arranging some settling sessions that I could also attend. The team were all incredible and it really helped. She is now in the bumble bee room and is very cheerful.
Thank you, everyone. My daughter was having trouble transitioning to the bumble bee room from the baby room.

July 8, 2025 at 4:05 pmThe team make picking her up and dropping her off a smooth transition every time. My niece comes here and she loves it, she has just been on a trip called ‘World of Country Life’, she had a excellent time and the team are exceptional and really attentive towards her individual needs.
