September 10, 2024 at 1:16 pmWe were a little nervous, to begin with, however, the crew are all so kind and caring, they instantly make you feel at ease. Our boys have such a lovely bond with the carers at childcare centre, the rooms are all bright and spotless. My twins began childcare centre in July 2018. You can easily see the practitioners all enjoy what they do and the childcare centre is well managed.

October 4, 2024 at 2:32 pmThey have taken into consideration any special needs that our kids have had and give detailed feedback on their headway whenever we have needed it. Both of our kids have been at Play & Learn Nursery since they were 1 years old and it has been so lovely to see them develop under the kind and nurturing team.

October 22, 2024 at 3:29 pmMy little one has been coming to the childcare centre for around 8 months and me and my wife are exceptionally delighted with the support provided. The childcare centre itself has large spaces which appealed to us and the little ones appear to have a variety of activities to do something new all the time. I’m glad we chose this childcare centre as a lot in our area were full or not accommodating to the hours we required and if we phone about times i.e running late for pick up, the manager and deputy manager is always polite and accommodate this. The nursery setting also planned a trip to Dudley Zoo which parents joined and was a great day. We have noticed a great deal in our sons growth since attending Play & Learn Nursery and the crew have been truly accommodating in meeting his needs and inviting us to the early‑years hub in regards to their plans around helping him develop his speech advancement and keeping us up to date promptly with any new information and what we can do at home.

November 1, 2024 at 9:02 pmMy boy currently goes to Play and Learn and has done since September 2021. Having regular updates about how my boy is doing and sharing pictures of the wonderful activities he is participating in is great too. My older girl also went to this nursery setting and it has consistently since 2013 when she first joined, been incredible. All of the crew clearly have a passion for helping little ones and their growth. Highly wholeheartedly suggest it. Play and Learn uses Tapestry to communicate with parents which has been a big positive. My young lad treasures going to nursery setting and has come on leaps and bounds since being there.

November 14, 2024 at 6:51 amFrom the moment that I was shown around the early‑years hub, it was clear that they place the happiness and the growth of each kid at the centre of everything they do. My young lady has been going to Play and Learn for 2 years since she was 13 months old. They place a big emphasis on discovering through games, and in my view, this is really effective. They give detailed feedback at the end of each day, an annual parents evening and regular opportunities for you to get involved with activities which is a nice way to observe your kid in the setting. She currently is enrolled at 3 days a week, but frequently asks to go on her days off! I’m beyond pleased with the rate of my daughter’s progress, but more importantly, she is really delighted at the nursery setting. The personnel are fantastic and clearly enjoy what they do. The setting itself is fantastic, with a nice indoor and outdoor space for all.

December 10, 2024 at 9:08 pmThe crew are exceptionally welcoming & supportive and we can see how they have helped our little one blossom into the girl she is today. We moved our little one to Play and Learn after the first covid lockdown due to the previous nursery setting deciding to remain shut. For the baby room, you get daily updates, for the toddler group, it’s at least once a week. They have a great chef who dips into all types of food, truly adventurous and always goes down well. It’s got to a stage where she just always wants to go to childcare centre and playtime with her friends, nothing has changed there. Our young lady settled exceptionally quickly and really enjoys it there. We also enrolled our little boy when the time came and he joined the baby group upstairs. They do encourage the little ones and help them improvement further. Play and Learn obviously wanted to reopen as per government guidelines and help parents get back to normality which was a good sign. There is also an app in which you can monitor your children’s activity.

December 31, 2024 at 10:32 amThe personnel go above and beyond for the young kids under their support and I would wholeheartedly advocate Play and Learn Nursery. The team are always so lovely and caring. They always provide fun, absorbing activities. The whole setting is hygienic, thrilled and welcoming. My 1-year-old girl enjoys her nursery setting days.

January 3, 2025 at 12:30 pmIt is so clear that all of the team have the little ones at the centre of everything they do. Unfortunately, we moved out of the area and it was heartbreaking to take her out but I wholeheartedly endorse this nursery setting! Such a welcoming welcoming team! My little one fell in enjoy with everyone who works there and enjoyed all of the lovely activities set daily. My girl was enrolled at from eight months old and they took so much attention to ensure she settled. They are attentive and always ensure the highest level of attention is provided.

January 6, 2025 at 8:47 amI can not be thankful enough to them, knowing that our little one is in good hands means the world to us! Our boy is been going to Play & Learn Nursery for the previous 6 months and he always goes in happily, made so many friends there. The personnel, manager and deputy manager are all lovely, so caring, they do an fantastic job looking after the little ones and on every occasion they’ve been ever so accommodating. As parents, we can tell going to Play & Learn is been helping with our little one’s progress and also with his behaviour. Excellent nursery setting! It’s great to see all of them involved. The personnel organise plenty of activities for kids to help them discover and as parents, we can follow everything on the nursery’s app.

January 18, 2025 at 8:19 amThank you, everyone! My little one has been going to Play & Learn Nursery Sutton Coldfield since she was eleven months, now three and a half years old and she absolutely adores nursery setting and every single member of team. She has grown and developed so much and I can see her absorbing new things every day. I feel like the personnel listen when I have any kind of comment to make and they really make sure the youngsters have a variety of activities and crafts to do every day. I enjoy the attention and daily activities. I enjoyed the attention she received while in the baby room and now in preschool.

January 20, 2025 at 8:45 pmMy kids enjoy going there and they do lots of fun activities where they absorb many things and prepare them for school. The personnel is truly caring and attentive. Fantastic settings for my two youngsters.

February 1, 2025 at 3:26 amMy young lady used to join for 3 days a week and now due to work commitments she goes to 4 consecutive days. She often asks on her day off if she can go to early‑years hub. My kid has been attending Play and Learn since 2015, since attending all members of the family can see a massive difference in confidence and ability. My little one was 8 weeks premature when born and I had concerns about sending her to nursery setting as I was worried about the assistance she would get, I have to say it’s been fantastic, her confidence and social abilities have enhanced and she has a great relationship with the team who she comes home and talks about. I cherish the fact that she comes home with things shes made and they are displayed on the wall for everyone to see. I can’t thank the crew enough for the help they have given my young lady in getting her to where she is today. We are really thrilled we also get to take part in events and sessions held at the early‑years hub.
Elliot Armstrong
February 13, 2025 at 4:38 pmHighly advocate and have no doubt we will use them in the future if it ever comes to it. As a first time mummy, sending your kid to nursery setting is such a scary idea because you’re so unsure of the unknown. He’s come on leaps and bounds and absolutely treasures going to early‑years hub! Not only has Play & Learn ensured my little boy has settled in so well, they’ve always made sure that as parents we’re informed about everything he does. Play & Learn Nursery is such a fantastic early‑years hub.
Elliot Rivers
February 21, 2025 at 8:36 amThe team are wonderful, welcoming, experienced and creative and not only do they look after the youngsters, but they also form bonds and trust with them. Cannot advocate enough. I feel totally assured that he is well looked after, treated brilliantly, is discovering as well as playing and is making lots of friends. He’s thriving in pretty much every area and a lot of that is down to his time at Play and Learn. My little boy enjoys it here, and I do too.
Peter York
March 1, 2025 at 6:00 amThere are different activities daily with lots of variety and dedicated outdoor games areas. Absolutely fantastic! All of the crew have been so fantastic and he has settled in well. My young lad started at this childcare centre after lockdown had lifted and we were apprehensive given how long he had been at home and that it was a new childcare centre for him. I can’t advocate the childcare centre wholeheartedly enough, thank you Play & Learn! We needn’t have been.
Peter Ingram
March 5, 2025 at 2:24 pmThe team I can’t give enough praise about, the setting and facilities are beautiful, immaculate and welcoming, the care for the little ones is exceptional. Absolutely wonderful childcare centre couldn’t ask for better for my young lady, everything is superb. On-site homemade dinners and snacks, different activities everyday, beautiful gardens. I feel privileged that my little one has got the opportunity to join as she has excelled so much whilst being there.
Peter Xavier
March 26, 2025 at 2:57 pmThe team are all fantastic. I also receive photo/video updates to show what he has been up to that day. So I was really stressed as to how he was going to fall asleep as he has always liked to fall asleep on me while being breastfed. But by day 2, he had completely mastered two naps a day, settling himself after a little cuddle by the crew. One of the little things that I enjoyed was a no outdoor shoe policy for team and parents in the baby room and next room up. They had a dedicated area at the quiet end of the room for naps – this was a major thing for me as my boy has always enjoyed a dark, quiet room. I found it extremely hard to find a nursery setting that I felt comfortable sending my 1-year-old to. Receiving a photo on his account to show him snuggled up asleep made my day. I looked at lots and when I found Play & Learn and had a look around I knew it was right straight away. I receive updates daily on his attention on his account from what he has eaten, his nap times and when his nappy changes were.

May 16, 2025 at 8:11 amHe has joined for over a year now in both upstairs and downstairs rooms. Since enrolling he has made a lot of advancement developmentally. The personnel are exceptionally caring and have supported his additional needs with creative activities. Highly suggest. They also offer great opening hours. I can’t say enough good things about our son’s time at Play & Learn Nursery.
Peter Donaldson
May 21, 2025 at 8:36 pmWe had a nightmare trying to find a childcare centre and Play & Learn has been a fantastic find, our little one treasures it, the crew are great. My Son has been going here for the preceding 10 months. I would endorse wholeheartedly!
Elliot Mitchell
June 28, 2025 at 12:51 pmGreat members of personnel, always supportive and pleasant and let you know everything you need to know on a daily basis. Fantastic childcare centre would suggest it to anyone. My young lad will be unhappy to leave but starts school this September.
