September 4, 2024 at 9:36 amThe care she receives is second to none. The baby room team and manager are so attentive and attentive. My daughter, who was super clingy to me at first, is very cheerful when I drop her off and clearly has gained self‑assurance by attending childcare centre and enjoys all the activities there. Would strongly suggest. My daughter is 17 months and has been attending the baby room since the beginning of February 2022.

September 9, 2024 at 5:24 pmWe have seen such a massive improvement with our daughter in lots of different aspects of her development, which is so excellent to see. I was quite anxious about leaving my daughter to go back to work. It was all new and daunting but those anxious feelings were soon put at ease when I had a tour of the childcare centre. I met the manager who was lovely, as she showed me around I could see the passion that she had for the kids and childcare centre which gave me such a positive feeling. I got to have a taster hour with my daughter to see where her playroom would be and the activities the kids do, I came out of the childcare centre and knew I wanted her to go there. The team are all so lovely, welcoming and welcoming. I sense the team are approachable, and they are very honest too. Which for me is everything. I sense my daughter is in secure, attentive hands. Thank you to all of you! You’re all incredible! Absolutely over the moon with Playtime A Way, for so many reasons.

September 16, 2024 at 3:01 pmMy baby enjoys going to childcare centre, and she has learned and developed a lot since going here. I consistently suggest the childcare centre to everybody, as they are doing a really excellent job. Very lovely childcare centre with incredible team.

September 20, 2024 at 8:10 amShe’s consistently looking forward to attending and I have no issues with the childcare centre.
The manager is very lovely, welcoming and understanding. My daughter started attending Playtime A Way in September 2022 and she enjoys it.

October 4, 2024 at 6:04 pmHe loves it and consistently comes home cheerful! His development has come a long way since joining and he’s definitely grown more confident to interact with other kids. The team are very interactive with the kids and keep us parents updated with pictures and development development on the app which I find really useful as I like to see what he gets up to when I’m not around. My son started at Playtime A Way in October 2021 and now does 3 full days a week.

My older son attended this childcare centre for two years, and he also really benefited from the care and encouragement received from the team. My son is very cheerful and settled at this childcare centre.

October 31, 2024 at 6:00 amMy daughter is at the childcare centre, currently in the baby room and loves going in! It has made her come out of her shell, and I never have to worry knowing she is there. My son went to the childcare centre a few years ago, and all the team are pretty much the same from 3-years ago to now. It is a family-welcoming childcare centre, and I cannot suggest it enough! Thank you for all you do! The best childcare centre!

November 22, 2024 at 6:16 amThe team are incredible very welcoming and polite, never had any issues my kids have loved every moment and thrived in such a positive setting. I highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone and we are sad that the time has come for the next step into big school. 5 stars from us! My kids have attended playtime-away second kid for 2 years now, it’s an outstanding well organised place.

December 4, 2024 at 5:01 amIt wouldn’t have been this easy if the team didn’t encourage him to sense comfortable as English was not his mother tongue. Now, he is speaking and understanding English well. He loves to go to the childcare centre, meet his friends and discover new activities. The App allows the parents to follow up kid’s settlement. Definitely would suggest it! My son started 4 months ago at the childcare centre and he settled very quickly.

December 6, 2024 at 5:43 amHer development and independence have grown so much. All the team have been remarkable, supportive and understanding. Our daughter loves going there, has made friends and hates it when she’s not there. Her main teacher, in particular, has been excellent in helping us get the speech therapy that my daughter requires. Next year our son will hopefully be going there too. The app they use to record development is remarkable, full of incredible comments and photos, so we can get an update on development and things or activities that our daughter likes to do. My daughter started earlier this year, and she loves it.

December 17, 2024 at 9:59 amSome of the biggest positives we found when selecting a childcare centre were the flexibility of the hours and how available the team were. The manager was consistently cheerful to talk through any questions I had. My son was offered settling in sessions before he began and, straight away, he went in confidently and didn’t want to leave! All of the team are welcoming and well‑informed and keep you informed of your kid’s day to day experiences. His speech has come on leaps and bounds, as has his ability to want to try new things. I would highly suggest Playaway! My son started at Playaway this year after turning three in June.

January 7, 2025 at 5:58 amHowever the manager said we don’t have to jump right in, starting with one morning a week, and assigned him a key person, they built up a repore with our son and helped him adjust to a new setting, new people and he loves childcare centre. The manager then offered my son three days, and now my son is not only saying so many new words but his key worker and the other team there, have started teaching him sign language too! As well as offering to refer him to speech and language therapy. I’m so proud of my boy and how far he has come on in the short time he has been at Playtime a Way. I have five kids and this is by far, the best childcare centre and not just because of the setting, but because of the team! I’m now excited for him to go full-time when he turns three. The team, truly are incredible, understanding and compassionate. They focused on my concerns and my son is doing excellent. Before my son started at Playtime a Way, I was so scared and reluctant to send him as he was two and was only saying “mum”.

January 16, 2025 at 4:41 pmHe was at ease being dropped off in the mornings and loved playing in the garden, and also enjoyed the food even though he’s fussy!
Would suggest. My son attended the playgroup for a year before moving schools and couldn’t have praised the team enough.

January 31, 2025 at 12:54 pmIn that week my welcoming and cheerful baby became scared, sad, and frustrated and was no way to let me go. I will not discuss what happened in that childcare centre but what I can tell is that the team from Playtime A Way childcare centre are doing their job and more. My baby is starting to be again cheerful and to trust people like he was doing before. The team are so inviting and they approach your issues delicately and they try to help all the time. If we go to nurseries from around the UK, everyone seems to smile but trust me on this, when the doors are closing, our babies don’t receive so much happiness anymore.
At Playtime A Way it’s not like that. I can tell by seeing my 18 month old baby cheerful. They do not smile just for appearances, they smile because they sense like doing so, and I’m sure they have bad days as well but for sure our babies will not sense this because they know how to do their jobs. Wish to be more like this. My baby started a different childcare centre one week before starting Playtime A Way.

March 2, 2025 at 4:04 pmI adore it and I know my daughter who just started will adore it too! Team is incredible! So cheerful for my daughter as she’s gonna have a excellent journey! I chose Playtime A Way because my oldest son loved this childcare centre so much!

April 12, 2025 at 11:58 amI wasn’t entirely sure but after a visit to the childcare centre, I definitely felt a lot more confident and decided this childcare centre was the one. I was given a full tour of the facility, and plenty of information in regard to what your kid’s day would consist of and the lovely manager answered any further questions I had. I was still a little anxious as I assume most parents are when their kid first starts childcare centre, however, after my son started I was fully confident in the childcare centre. All the team are absolutely lovely they really get to know each kid individually and build a healthy relationship with the kids, they are very attentive and polite. The activities they do throughout the day are both educational and enjoyable, I adore that they have tables set up with different activities that allows your kid to have free choice. The setup of the childcare centre is very secure. My son absolutely loves it! I had a hard time finding a childcare centre that ticked all my boxes in regards to what I needed then I found Playtime A Way.
Blake Lawson
April 19, 2025 at 12:59 pmHe was a little upset when he first started but the team were incredible with him and in no time settled in. He even puts his hand out waiting to go into the childcare centre now. I adore to see that he enjoys it.
The updates I get on the childcare centre website of what he has been up to are excellent and he consistently has so much enjoyable.
I could not fault this childcare centre at all and very cheerful I chose my son to go here. My son has been going to this childcare centre since March 2022.

May 5, 2025 at 2:33 pmTeam have excellent relationships with the kids and parents. Give absolutely excellent care to both of my kids. Inviting and attentive team with high expectations of behaviour in their breakfast and after school clubs.

May 11, 2025 at 7:31 pmMy son has been attending this childcare centre since he was a baby and he will be leaving childcare centre this year to go to school.
The team were excellent in each room, and even though he found it a bit difficult in the beginning, everyone made sure he was looked after and well cared for.
I sense like he is really prepared to go to school, as the ladies working at Playtime A Way have done an incredible job of getting the preschoolers ready.
I adore that this childcare centre has outside space and they are encouraging the kids to head out multiple times a day.
All the team are approachable and consistently have a positive attitude towards the kids and their development.

June 8, 2025 at 6:54 pmSince going to childcare centre he has started talking a lot more. My son recently started at Playtime A Way in September and he absolutely loves going to childcare centre.
