    My son is discovering so much and consistently has a lovely day. I adore how they keep you so updated with what’s going on and how his day’s going. They are all so lovely and very compassionate. I couldn’t think of a better childcare centre for my son. Excellent childcare centre.

    My daughter consistently enjoys her days. She can tell me that she feels secure and well looked after. She has a lovely relationship with all the team.
    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 kids.
    My daughter enjoys most of the meals at childcare centre and often asks for seconds. She never comes home hungry. She said her favourite meal is pasta. IntoPlay Day Childcare centre @ Barnwood is a lovely childcare centre.

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

    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 childcare centre. When I gave birth to my second baby in November 2022, they were so supportive 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 sense completely at ease dropping my son off at childcare centre and he consistently 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. IntoPlay Day Childcare centre @ Barnwood team (2-3s) have been absolutely incredible looking after my son since April 2022.

    We have even increased her days as she enjoys it so much. They consistently put information on the app allowing parents to see individual development and also to see, as a room, what they have been up to. I have recently recommended this childcare centre to friends and their kids have joined too. IntoPlay Day Childcare centre @ Barnwood is such a excellent childcare centre, team are incredible with the kids, the setting is excellent and my daughter is so cheerful here.

    My boys have loved their time there, they consistently come out cheerful. The food is excellent and updates with the team is outstanding. I absolutely adore this childcare centre, as do both my boys, the team are fantastic and I couldn’t be happier.

    Handing over your kid 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 cheerful, smiley little girl from welcoming and expert team. 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 childcare centre, she loves the team and her friends that she has met there.
    I definitely picked the right childcare centre. My daughter is secure, well cared for and entertained – and educated – all day by some incredible people.
    They do an incredible job and that means that I can confidently get on and do mine. Thank you all. My daughter has attended IntoPlay Day Childcare centre @ Barnwood since she turned 1, right at the start of Covid.

    Was very reluctant in sending my kid to any childcare centre due to being a first-time parent but the team really helped with this transition and cannot be any more grateful and, more importantly, my kid enjoys it. Team are all excellent here.

    He has a excellent connection with the team and it’s so lovely to see. He eats really well and is absolutely thriving at IntoPlay Day Childcare centre. My son absolutely loves going to childcare centre, consistently cheerful to go in and I can rest knowing he’s well looked after.

    The manager goes above and beyond for the kids and she works outside of her hours to ensure the kids delight in their time at the childcare centre. Team are consistently cheerful and approachable and are consistently willing to go the extra mile for the kids. It is clear that they are a remarkable 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 team and could not suggest this childcare centre highly enough. IntoPlay Day Childcare centre @ Barnwood is nothing outside of outstanding.

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

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

    Then he grew up in 2-3, now he is in pre-school, the team are very loving to him, thoughtful, consistently keeping him secure and helping him with his development.
    If you want your kid to attend the best childcare centre in Gloucester this is the one, by far the most incredible people you will ever meet in this childcare centre, no doubt about it.
    Whenever I leave my son at this childcare centre 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 Childcare centre @ Barnwood for the incredible work you do! Starting from when he was a baby, one member of team was my son’s favourite, when he started to speak he was consistently saying her name.

    Team use the app and communicate well. My daughter loves attending. I wish I had used IntoPlay Day Childcare centre @ Barnwood first. I moved my daughter from a different childcare centre as its standards were poor in comparison. I have complete peace of mind that my kid is in the best care. Remarkable childcare centre, my daughter has settled amazingly, the team are exceptional.

    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 kids younger and older. She is blossoming into a attentive, 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 sense this is because of the excellent assistance she receives when discovering.
    We are consistently 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 cheerful we are with where she is. Our daughter has been at IntoPlay Day Childcare centre @ Barnwood since June 2022.

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

    I could not suggest them more, in fact, I do suggest them to everyone.
    My daughter has progressed exceptionally, the childcare centre has helped her physical development as she has been delayed (and the team 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 spotless and cheerful, 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 team.
    I think my daughter genuinely sees the childcare centre team 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 adore that I don’t have to worry as she loves it so much and we adore the team and their treatment of my daughter.
    This childcare centre has made her thrive. My daughter has been at IntoPlay Day Childcare centre @ Barnwood for nine months now, starting at just 7 months old.

    My daughter has thrived since joining in September 2021 and the team here have done nothing but assistance 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 incredible people and I truly sense 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 adore you’ve shown her. We will definitely miss you guys when she goes off to school in September. I can’t even begin to express how unbelievable this childcare centre is.

    Updates is excellent and both my kids flourished while being in their care. Team are really accommodating and they make annual celebrations, such as Christmas, immersive and enjoyable for the kids. IntoPlay Day Childcare centre has been exceptional since we started taking our son over four years ago and now with our daughter.
