November 20, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Play and Learn for 2 years since she was 13 months old. From the moment that I was shown around the nursery, it was clear that they place the happiness and the development of each child at the centre of everything they do. They place a big emphasis on learning through play, and in my view, this is really effective. I’m beyond pleased with the rate of my daughter’s development, but more importantly, she is really happy at the nursery. She currently attends 3 days a week, but frequently asks to go on her days off!
The staff are fantastic and clearly enjoy what they do. 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 child in the setting.
The setting itself is fantastic, with a nice indoor and outdoor space for all.

November 22, 2017 at 12:00 amMy child 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 daughter used to attend for 3 days a week and now due to work commitments she attends 4 consecutive days. She often asks on her day off if she can go to nursery. My daughter was 8 weeks premature when born and I had concerns about sending her to nursery as I was worried about the support she would get, I have to say it’s been amazing, her confidence and social skills have improved and she has a great relationship with the staff who she comes home and talks about.
I love 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 staff enough for the support they have given my daughter in getting her to where she is today. We are really happy we also get to take part in events and sessions held at the nursery.

February 7, 2019 at 12:00 amMy twins began nursery in July 2018.
We were a little nervous, to begin with, however, the staff are all so kind and caring, they instantly make you feel at ease.
Our boys have such a lovely bond with the carers at nursery, the rooms are all bright and clean.
You can easily see the practitioners all enjoy what they do and the nursery is well managed.

August 19, 2019 at 12:00 amMy Son has been going here for the last 10 months. We had a nightmare trying to find a nursery and Play & Learn has been a fantastic find, our son loves it, the staff are great. I would recommend highly!

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amI found it extremely hard to find a nursery that I felt comfortable sending my 1-year-old to. I looked at lots and when I found Play & Learn and had a look around I knew it was right straight away.
One of the little things that I loved was a no outdoor shoe policy for staff 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 son has always loved a dark, quiet room. 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 staff. Receiving a photo on his account to show him snuggled up asleep made my day.
I receive updates daily on his care on his account from what he has eaten, his nap times and when his nappy changes were. I also receive photo/video updates to show what he has been up to that day.
The staff are all fantastic.

October 19, 2020 at 12:00 amAbsolutely wonderful nursery couldn’t ask for better for my daughter, everything is outstanding. The staff I can’t give enough praise about, the setting and facilities are beautiful, clean and welcoming, the care for the children is outstanding. On-site homemade dinners and snacks, different activities everyday, beautiful gardens. I feel privileged that my daughter has got the opportunity to attend as she has excelled so much whilst being there.

November 16, 2020 at 12:00 amAbsolutely fantastic! My son started at this nursery after lockdown had lifted and we were apprehensive given how long he had been at home and that it was a new nursery for him. We needn’t have been. All of the staff have been so fantastic and he has settled in well. There are different activities daily with lots of variety and dedicated outdoor play areas. I can’t recommend the nursery highly enough, thank you Play & Learn!

March 16, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Play & Learn Nursery Sutton Coldfield since she was eleven months, now three and a half years old and she absolutely loves nursery and every single member of staff. She has grown and developed so much and I can see her learning new things every day. I feel like the staff listen when I have any kind of comment to make and they really make sure the children have a variety of activities and crafts to do every day. I loved the care she received while in the baby room and now in preschool. I love the attention and daily activities. Thank you, everyone!

August 9, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth of our children 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. They have taken into consideration any special needs that our children have had and give detailed feedback on their progress whenever we have needed it.

September 1, 2022 at 12:00 amSuch a welcoming friendly team! It is so clear that all of the staff have the children at the centre of everything they do. They are attentive and always ensure the highest level of care is provided. My daughter attended from eight months old and they took so much care to ensure she settled. My daughter fell in love with everyone who works there and enjoyed all of the lovely activities set daily. Unfortunately, we moved out of the area and it was heartbreaking to take her out but I highly recommend this nursery!

September 2, 2022 at 12:00 amWe moved our little one to Play and Learn after the first covid lockdown due to the previous nursery deciding to remain shut. Play and Learn obviously wanted to reopen as per government guidelines and help parents get back to normality which was a good sign. Our daughter settled very quickly and really enjoys it there. It’s got to a stage where she just always wants to go to nursery and play with her friends, nothing has changed there. The staff are very friendly & supportive and we can see how they have helped our little one blossom into the girl she is today. They do encourage the little ones and help them progress further. We also enrolled our little boy when the time came and he joined the baby group upstairs. They have a great chef who dips into all types of food, very adventurous and always goes down well. There is also an app in which you can monitor your children’s activity. For the baby room, you get daily updates, for the toddler group, it’s at least once a week.

October 12, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son currently attends Play and Learn and has done since September 2021. All of the staff clearly have a passion for helping children and their development. My son loves going to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds since being there.
Play and Learn uses Tapestry to communicate with parents which has been a big positive. Having regular communication about how my son is doing and sharing pictures of the wonderful activities he is participating in is great too.
My older daughter also attended this nursery and it has consistently since 2013 when she first attended, been incredible. Highly highly recommend it.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 1-year-old daughter loves her nursery days. The staff are always so lovely and caring. They always provide fun, learning activities.
The whole setting is clean, happy and welcoming.
The staff go above and beyond for the young children under their care and I would highly recommend Play and Learn Nursery.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amI can’t say enough good things about our son’s time at Play & Learn Nursery. He has attended for over a year now in both upstairs and downstairs rooms. The staff are very caring and have supported his additional needs with creative activities. Since enrolling he has made a lot of progress developmentally. They also offer great opening hours. Highly recommend.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery would recommend it to anyone. Great members of staff, always helpful and pleasant and let you know everything you need to know on a daily basis.
My son will be sad to leave but starts school this September.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been coming to the nursery for around 8 months and me and my wife are very happy with the care provided. We have noticed a great deal in our sons development since attending Play & Learn Nursery and the staff have been very accommodating in meeting his needs and inviting us to the nursery in regards to their plans around helping him develop his speech development and keeping us up to date promptly with any new information and what we can do at home.
The nursery itself has large spaces which appealed to us and the children appear to have a variety of activities to do something new all the time. The nursery also planned a trip to Dudley Zoo which parents attended and was a great day.
I’m glad we chose this nursery 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.

June 9, 2023 at 12:00 amPlay & Learn Nursery is such a fantastic nursery. As a first time mummy, sending your child to nursery is such a scary idea because you’re so unsure of the unknown. 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.
He’s come on leaps and bounds and absolutely loves going to nursery!
Highly recommend and have no doubt we will use them in the future if it ever comes to it.

June 12, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic settings for my two children. The staff is very caring and attentive. My children love going there and they do lots of fun activities where they learn many things and prepare them for school.

June 12, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery!
Our son is been going to Play & Learn Nursery for the last 6 months and he always goes in happily, made so many friends there.
The staff organise plenty of activities for children to help them learn and as parents, we can follow everything on the nursery’s app. It’s great to see all of them involved.
As parents, we can tell going to Play & Learn is been helping with our little one’s development and also with his behaviour.
The staff, manager and deputy manager are all lovely, so caring, they do an amazing job looking after the children and on every occasion they’ve been ever so helpful. I can not be thankful enough to them, knowing that our little one is in good hands means the world to us!

June 12, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy loves it here, and I do too. I feel totally confident that he is well looked after, treated brilliantly, is learning 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. The staff are wonderful, friendly, experienced and creative and not only do they look after the children, but they also form bonds and trust with them. Cannot recommend enough.
