Patacake Day Nursery

This nursery has been part of our family for many years. Both my son and nephew came here and I wouldn’t use any other nursery. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the management team are extremely helpful. Great location and amazing variety of activities planned for the children.

My daughter has been attending Patacake Day Nursery since February 2022, when she turned ten months old, and she goes there five days full time. She is currently in pre-toddlers, and will soon be moving to toddlers.
Patacake has been amazing since the beginning, the staff members care deeply about my daughter, and I can see how she’s loving her time there.
When in the baby room, the beginnings were difficult emotionally for her, as she was adjusting to spending most of her days there, but she developed strong bonds with the lovely staff, who learned what makes her happy, and she was thriving there.
In pre-toddlers she is stimulated by the fantastic environment, lots of music, books, activities like painting, drawing, arts, lots of sensory things, bike, play outside and interacting with staff members and other children. She often doesn’t want to go home when I arrive.
The menu is amazing, with lots of variety and my daughter loves eating there. Lots of fruit and veg, balanced, not many sweets. I would highly recommend it!

Patacake Nursery is extraordinary. This comes not only from their performance but the dedicated, highly-trained carers they employ. My daughter has full time since she was 9 months old and is thriving there at 2 and a half. Her daily experience is so positive she returns glowing and excited to share her day. I am assured she is treated with top professional – yet friendliest – care when she happily runs smiling without looking back each morning. I trust every carer there implicitly.
This comes down to the excellence in management, from hiring to daily operations; the nursery amazes us in the details – leaving fruit for tired parents and a book exchange for kids – to big picture – monitoring wellness, development, and happiness. Patacake is remarkable. The new app improved life at home, too: knowing the healthy foods and carefully planned activities she enjoys helps us keep apace with her growth. Baby #2 starts in the autumn, and we’re certain she’ll have the best start possible here.

Thank you to the wonderful staff who care so well for my precious nephew. Staff are caring and attentive to his needs and we believe nursery has contributed to giving him the best start in life! Thank you team Patacake Day Nursery

Our child has been at this nursery for almost 2 and a half years and attends 5 days a week. The staff are kind, approachable and pleasant to interact with. The range of activities at the nursery is great and staff use an app to post videos or photos of our child doing these activities. The facilities and outside spaces are good. The food and its nutritional value are also very good.
Staff helpfully comment on our child’s activities during the day as well as their overall progress. The nursery holds 6 monthly parents’ evenings.
Recently, when our child was diagnosed with social and communication difficulties, nursery staff (including SEND-Co) worked with us and third parties to put in place extra help for our child, who has made good progress.
Our child enjoys going to nursery and I would highly recommend it to other parents – indeed we plan to send our second child there in the near future.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Patacake, she is always so happy and keen to go in and see her friends and the staff.
The staff are always so welcoming and cheerful and overall it had been an excellent experience for my daughter and for us as a family – as we are always so reassured that she is in such good hands. I would certainly recommend Patacake to anyone who is considering a nursery for their child.

My daughter has been attending since she was a baby as she absolutely loves it! She gets to do lots of different activities, spend lots of time outside, likes the food and the staff. They have been really helpful with potty training and always listen when I had any kind of feedback. They recently brought in the use of an app for feedback and it’s great to be able to see how they day is going and get pictures.

Both our children are at Patacake Day Nursery and love going to nursery.
Our eldest (nearly 3) has been going since he was 8 months old and has built great relationships. The staff are really helpful at providing advice and are currently helping us with potty training.
Our youngest (11 months) started at 7 months and settled really quickly. He has a milk allergy and the nursery have been so reassuring and checking in with us on what he can and cannot eat.
There is a great selection of activities and both boys really enjoy their time there. They learn and grow so much and we love hearing the stories at pick-up time.
Thank you to the whole Patacake team!

My son started attending the nursery at the age of 17 months. During Covid, we decided to keep him on until he starts reception in September 2024. Each team in all my son’s classes have been amazing with him, and he loved going in every day. My son has a speech delay, and the support the nursery manager and team have provided has been incredible, and as first-time parents, we sincerely appreciated everything they have all done for us. Saying goodbye will be very sad, but we’re very lucky to have had such a lovely experience with such fabulous people.

My daughter has been at Patacake for nearly two years. We are so grateful to the staff for their care of her. She looks forward to going in and she comes out bouncing. Outdoor space is excellent, activities are fun and educational and food is good and varied. Staff are friendly, approachable, professional and kind. Wholly recommend this nursery.
