    Staff are all great here. Was very reluctant in sending my child to any nursery due to being a first-time parent but the staff really helped with this transition and cannot be any more grateful and, more importantly, my child enjoys it.

    Starting from when he was a baby, one member of staff was my son’s favourite, when he started to speak he was always saying her name. Then he grew up in 2-3, now he is in pre-school, the staff are very loving to him, thoughtful, always keeping him safe and helping him with his development.
    If you want your child to attend the best nursery in Gloucester this is the one, by far the most amazing people you will ever meet in this nursery, no doubt about it.
    Whenever I leave my son at this nursery for a full day I know he will be taken care of, loved and will teach him new things on how to spark creativity in him. When I take him home every single day he learns something new, it’s like I don’t even recognise him (positive side of it) they even have an app where you can see everything that is going on in real-time from food to signing in and out injuries. I cannot thank you all enough at IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood for the amazing work you do!

    IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood is such a great nursery, staff are amazing with the children, the setting is great and my daughter is so happy here. We have even increased her days as she enjoys it so much. They always put information on the app allowing parents to see individual progress and also to see, as a room, what they have been up to. I have recently recommended this nursery to friends and their children have joined too.

    Fantastic nursery, my daughter has settled amazingly, the staff are brilliant. Staff use the app and communicate well. My daughter loves attending. I wish I had used IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood first. I moved my daughter from a different nursery as its standards were poor in comparison. I have complete peace of mind that my child is in the best care.

    My daughter has been at IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood for nine months now, starting at just 7 months old. I could not recommend them more, in fact, I do recommend them to everyone.
    My daughter has progressed exceptionally, the nursery has helped her physical development as she has been delayed (and the staff are probably as invested in her progression now as I am) and her speech and social skills are incredible, having developed so much during her time there.
    My daughter comes home clean and happy, she is fed well and we are updated daily on how she’s been and what she’s been up to with pictures and conversations with the staff.
    I think my daughter genuinely sees the nursery staff in her room as a real comfort, she reaches out to them in the morning ready to spend her day with them and sometimes clings to them when I go to pick her up.
    I love that I don’t have to worry as she loves it so much and we love the staff and their treatment of my daughter.
    This nursery has made her thrive.

    Our daughter absolutely loves her nursery days at IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood! Her confidence and development are increasing so much and she is well supported as she transfers to the next room.
    The whole team are fantastic and, as working parents, we really appreciate the huge efforts the staff go to continue to open, even when other local nurseries are closing for example due to bad weather.
    We can’t thank or recommend them enough!

    Great nursery. My son is learning so much and always has a lovely day. I love how they keep you so updated with what’s going on and how his day’s going. They are all so lovely and very kind. I couldn’t think of a better nursery for my son.

    IntoPlay Day Nursery has been brilliant since we started taking our son over four years ago and now with our daughter. Communication is great and both my children flourished while being in their care. Staff are really accommodating and they make annual celebrations, such as Christmas, immersive and enjoyable for the children.

    Our daughter has been at IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood since June 2022. She has truly blossomed from day one. We are constantly amazed at the care and detail put into our very regular updates/observations given to us through the app. Our daughter’s vocabulary has soared in the past few months, as well as her courage, and her interaction with other children younger and older. She is blossoming into a caring, considerate and outgoing young girl and we are so thankful to IntoPlay for their huge role in this.
    Her meals are balanced and she enjoys the variety of food she is offered throughout the day.
    Her activities intrigue her and she enjoys telling us all about them at the end of the day, feeling very proud of her accomplishments and I feel this is because of the great support she receives when learning.
    We are always so thankful that she is taken care of so lovingly every day whilst we are at work. I would not have her anywhere else. Words truly cannot describe how happy we are with where she is.

    IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood staff (2-3s) have been absolutely incredible looking after my son since April 2022. He has come on leaps and bounds with his speech (which he was a little delayed with) and is also potty trained – they have definitely helped us achieve this and he absolutely loves going to nursery. When I gave birth to my second baby in November 2022, they were so helpful and accommodated our needs any way they could- letting us know where they had availability for my son to go on an extra day if we needed it. I feel completely at ease dropping my son off at nursery and he always comes home full of smiles and tells me all about his key worker.
    Big thank you to Intoplay for looking after my son so well.

    I have two little boys at IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood. One in Pre-School and one in babies. From the moment I stepped into the nursery to look around I felt completely comfortable with having the staff there look after my children. They were all welcoming and settles went really well. My two boys love going to nursery and they both love their key workers. However, they love all the other staff too. Always great handovers at the end of the day and everyone is happy to chat about any concerns that you may have about your children! I love the app and it means I can keep track of what they have been doing and eating throughout the day.
    I’d highly recommend IntoPlay Barnwood.

    I can’t even begin to express how unbelievable this nursery is. My daughter has thrived since joining in September 2021 and the staff here have done nothing but support her additional needs and helped me in our journey to making sure she has everything to help her keep progressing with her speech and language and overall social interaction. I would be lost without these amazing people and I truly feel they have contributed massively to my daughter achieving some of those goals. Thank you for everything you do for my daughter and the care and love you’ve shown her. We will definitely miss you guys when she goes off to school in September.

    The best nursery! They are so amazing with my daughter, she has been there since she was a little baby and she absolutely loves it! She is so cheeky but the staff are amazing with her! She always comes home with new words or knows new animal sounds! Would never take her anywhere else.

    My daughter has attended IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood since she turned 1, right at the start of Covid. Handing over your child for the first time can be emotional, especially when Covid meant that I couldn’t be with her for induction. After the first day, my mind was quickly and easily put at rest, picking up a happy, smiley little girl from friendly and professional staff. Seeing pictures, photos and getting a full update of everything she had been doing that day.
    Over the course of three years, nothing has changed. My daughter loves nursery, she loves the staff and her friends that she has met there.
    I definitely picked the right nursery. My daughter is safe, well cared for and entertained – and educated – all day by some amazing people.
    They do an amazing job and that means that I can confidently get on and do mine. Thank you all.

    I absolutely love this nursery, as do both my boys, the staff are wonderful and I couldn’t be happier. My boys have loved their time there, they always come out happy. The food is great and communication with the staff is excellent.

    This is the best Nursery. Leaving your little one is really hard for a first time mom but when you know they are in good hands you’ll be more than happy and satisfied. IntoPlay Day Nursery Barnwood have great staff they are so hard working and so supportive if we need extra hours for our little one due to some emergency. Ready to help.

    My son absolutely loves going to nursery, always happy to go in and I can rest knowing he’s well looked after. He has a great connection with the team and it’s so lovely to see. He eats really well and is absolutely thriving at IntoPlay Day Nursery.

    IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood is a lovely nursery.
    My daughter always enjoys her days. She can tell me that she feels safe and well looked after. She has a lovely relationship with all the staff.
    She often comes home and excitedly tells us about all the lovely activities she has done. She loves the phonics lady. She loves the outdoor area and enjoys making cakes with other children.
    My daughter enjoys most of the meals at nursery and often asks for seconds. She never comes home hungry. She said her favourite meal is pasta.

    IntoPlay Day Nursery @ Barnwood is nothing outside of outstanding. The manager goes above and beyond for the children and she works outside of her hours to ensure the children enjoy their time at the nursery. Staff are always happy and approachable and are always willing to go the extra mile for the children. It is clear that they are a fantastic team and work well together across the rooms. I moved my little boy here in 2021 and have never had an issue leaving him. I have full trust and faith in all of the staff and could not recommend this nursery highly enough.

    Very friendly staff and my granddaughter has settled beautifully. She is doing lots of different activities every time she attends and comes home happy and smiling, telling us all about her various friends.
