September 1, 2024 at 10:49 amI would definitely certainly suggest Patacake to anyone who is considering a childcare centre for their kid. My daughter absolutely loves going to Patacake, she is consistently so cheerful and keen to go in and see her friends and the team.
The team are consistently so welcoming and cheerful and overall it had been an excellent journey for my daughter and for us as a family – as we are consistently so reassured that she is in such great hands.

September 1, 2024 at 6:21 pmWe’ve gone through a few nurseries due to covid and life changes, and Patacake makes us sense we’re part of a big family. Our kids started at Patacake a little over a year ago, and we’re very cheerful. Staff are well trained and attentive to the kid’s needs. They are very understanding of us parents’ needs and helped us a lot when our eldest was potty training. The manager maintains great communication, and we know what activities the kids are engaged in and when the next dress up day is. There are lots of nurseries and each has its own culture. We like Patacake for making us sense very welcome and at home.

September 9, 2024 at 5:27 pmThe team are truly supportive at providing advice and are currently helping us with potty training.
Our youngest (11 months) started at 7 months and settled truly quickly. Both our kids are at Patacake Day Nursery and adore going to childcare centre.
Our eldest (nearly 3) has been going since he was 8 months old and has built excellent relationships. He has a milk allergy and the childcare centre have been so reassuring and checking in with us on what he can and cannot eat.
There is a excellent selection of activities and both boys truly delight in their time there. They learn and grow so much and we adore hearing the stories at pick-up time.
Thank you to the whole Patacake team!

October 23, 2024 at 10:49 amDuring Covid, we decided to keep him on until he starts reception in September 2024. My son started attending the childcare centre at the age of 17 months. Each team in all my son’s classes have been incredible with him, and he loved going in every day. My son has a speech delay, and the assistance the childcare centre 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 journey with such fabulous people.

November 9, 2024 at 3:21 pmThey were consistently eager to go to and playtime with their friends which is a testament to the secure, fun, and nurturing setting at Patacake. All my three kids went to Patacake Day Nursery and truly enjoyed their time there. The team are truly kind, supportive and flexible, they accommodated a lot of requests from us especially with my son who needed extra care etc. The childcare centre is spacious and well-equipped so the kids were exposed to a range of activities, learnings, and playtime. Nothing beats having peace of mind that your kids are cheerful when at childcare centre, for me Patacake was peace of mind. We have moved hence why we have to change childcare centre else we would definitely still be here. It’s been over 4 years in total, no complaints- just peace. Thank you for everything! We will definitely miss Patacake!

November 15, 2024 at 3:06 amThe room feels so warm and empathetic for parents and families anxious about leaving their kids for the first time. My nephew started in the baby room and the family have felt so welcome into the setting and the baby room. As an aunt I am impressed with the amount of care and education the team set up for the kids.

December 1, 2024 at 11:48 amShe gets to do lots of different activities, spend lots of time outside, likes the food and the team. My daughter has been attending since she was a baby as she absolutely loves it! They have been truly supportive with potty training and consistently listen when I had any kind of feedback. They recently brought in the use of an app for feedback and it’s excellent to be able to see how they day is going and get pictures.

January 6, 2025 at 7:06 amBoth my son and nephew came here and I wouldn’t use any other childcare centre. This childcare centre has been part of our family for many years. The team are welcoming and well‑informed and the management team are extremely supportive. Great location and incredible variety of activities planned for the kids.

January 21, 2025 at 4:00 pmMy grandson enjoys his time there so much, he gets upset when it’s time to go home! Patacake is a excellent childcare centre with incredible team and such a warm, welcoming and fantastic atmosphere. I think that alone, says it all, well done to an incredible team!

January 26, 2025 at 10:16 pmThe team are kind, approachable and pleasant to interact with. Our kid has been at this childcare centre for almost 2 and a half years and attends 5 days a week. The range of activities at the childcare centre is excellent and team use an app to post videos or photos of our kid doing these activities. The facilities and outside spaces are great. The food and its nutritional value are also very great.
Staff helpfully comment on our kid’s activities during the day as well as their overall progress. The childcare centre holds 6 monthly parents’ evenings.
Recently, when our kid was diagnosed with social and communication difficulties, childcare centre team (including SEND-Co) worked with us and third parties to put in place extra help for our kid, who has made great progress.
Our kid enjoys going to childcare centre and I would definitely highly suggest it to other parents – indeed we plan to send our second kid there in the near future.

February 2, 2025 at 7:42 pmThey have both had the most incredible time at the childcare centre, making truly great bonds with the team and also the other kids. We have sent both our daughters to Patacake Day Nursery from the age of 11 months. I think it’s been hugely beneficial to have sent them here as they have learned so much, not just in line with the curriculum but in ways of interacting with the other kids and being taught about social interactions. We used reusable nappies with both kids and Patacake were very cheerful to assistance that. There consistently seems to be excellent activities each week and themed around different festivals and occasions. I adore that they also take them to the local parks and also have companies like zoo lab to come in. The outdoor spaces are excellent for each room, and my daughters spend a great chunk of time playing outdoors every day too. We’re only leaving the childcare centre as we’re moving abroad and I wish we could transport Patacake with us! We will miss it!

February 26, 2025 at 4:14 amShe has been at the childcare centre since the baby room and is now in the pre-school room. My daughter absolutely loves coming to childcare centre everyday, has made incredible relationships with the team and forming excellent friendships.

March 5, 2025 at 5:16 amWe are so grateful to the team for their care of her. My daughter has been at Patacake for nearly two years. She looks forward to going in and she comes out bouncing. Outdoor space is excellent, activities are fun and educational and food is great and varied. Staff are welcoming, approachable, professional and kind. Wholly suggest this childcare centre.

March 18, 2025 at 10:25 pmOur kids are both very cheerful to go there. My two boys have been attending this childcare centre since last September and we are having a fantastic journey. All the team are very kind, available and consistently smiling with the kids and their parents. We have a continuous exchange of information with them about what our kids had been getting on during the day and which activities they were involved in. Our older kid, who had a delay in language, is doing excellent progress there. When he started the childcare centre, he was able to say a few words and now, just after 6 months, he is able to build sentences, singing, asking questions and replying. The team are also very kind at posting on the childcare centre app kids’s pictures taken during nice moments of their day. The app also reports a very detailed description of the activities the kids have been involved in, what they like and what they have for meals. We could not ask more for our kids. I strongly suggest this childcare centre!

April 11, 2025 at 9:52 amHe enjoys coming to childcare centre and discovering so much. My son has been at Patacake since 2020, started from the baby room and is now in preschool. He eats all the offered and says his enjoying the new menus.
Kendall Cross
April 30, 2025 at 8:54 amShe is currently in pre-toddlers, and will soon be moving to toddlers. 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.
Patacake has been incredible since the beginning, the team 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 team, who learned what makes her cheerful, and she was thriving there.
In pre-toddlers she is stimulated by the fantastic setting, lots of music, books, activities like painting, drawing, arts, lots of sensory things, bike, playtime outside and interacting with team members and other kids. She often doesn’t want to go home when I arrive.
The menu is incredible, with lots of variety and my daughter loves eating there. Lots of fruit and veg, balanced, not many sweets. I would definitely highly suggest it!

June 6, 2025 at 10:05 amThis comes not only from their performance but the dedicated, highly-trained carers they employ. Patacake Nursery is extraordinary. My daughter has full time since she was 9 months old and is thriving there at 2 and a half. Her daily journey 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 childcare centre 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.

June 15, 2025 at 10:24 pmWe have not had a negative journey to date with the childcare centre. We currently have our 2.5-year-old daughter at this childcare centre and she has been with the childcare centre since January 2022. Our daughter has a non IGE fish/shellfish allergy and the childcare centre worked with the care plan provided by the allergy clinic to ensure that our kid is well looked after. The team have provided advice with potty training, sleep issues and numerous other things over our time with them. The childcare centre consistently has interesting events for the kids to take part in such as trips to the local park, bringing in a local company to run events like sports days or zoo labs. My favourite journey to date was when I was picking up my daughter recently and just before we left, she needed a nappy change so I offered to do it. The team showed me to the changing room and there was a little stair leading up to the changing table which allowed the kids to climb up themselves, fostering a excellent sense of independence.

June 23, 2025 at 5:35 pmOur 3-year-old daughter adapted very well and quickly to the childcare centre, even though she didn’t speak English when she joined. We have had a fantastic journey at Patacake. The caregivers are very well-trained and have provided a secure and stimulating space for our daughter. Communication with the team is very great.
