September 17, 2024 at 10:23 pmThe team are all incredible and approachable if you need to discuss anything. They have an outstanding home from home setting and all the kids seem to be so excited to go in every morning. I would suggest it to anyone and am already dreading having to say goodbye when my son starts school in September! My son has been attending The Haven childcare centre for 3 years and has consistently been cheerful there.

September 27, 2024 at 6:34 amFrom day one, the childcare centre was welcoming and such a cheerful place to be! The team are incredible and became not only carers, but friends and family to my daughters. They still get excited every time they walk past and remind me of all the cheerful days they spent there. Highly suggest it to local families. My two youngest daughters both attended the Haven childcare centre, combined – 6/7 years of incredible care!

September 29, 2024 at 11:23 pmThe team are exceptional, very welcoming and informative about everything that happens with my kid. I couldn’t have picked a better childcare centre! The facilities are outstanding and they have a excellent outdoor space that my kid loves! My kid’s speech and development has come on very well, since being at the Haven Childcare centre, they’re consistently discovering new songs, new words and it’s excellent! This childcare centre is incredible, it’s a lovely, secure and well-run setting and I wouldn’t have my kid anywhere else!

October 8, 2024 at 3:57 pmThe relationship he has with the team and the other kids is incredible. When sending him in each morning, he is consistently eager to start. His speech has really grown also. He has learned in this time to count, colours, childcare centre rhymes the list goes on! I adore when I pick him up and he sings a new song he has learnt. I would highly suggest The Haven! My son has been attending the childcare centre for 7 months now and it was the best decision.

November 5, 2024 at 6:20 amHe is discovering so much and his language is incredible for a 2-year-old. The activities, field trips and even snack times are well thought out. My son loves it so much, he runs straight into childcare centre each morning, without a backwards glance! Over the time he has been there, I have changed the days he is in, due to my working schedule and they have consistently been so supportive! I would suggest the childcare centre to anyone in and around Portsmouth. 5/5. The Haven team have helped build my son’s self‑assurance.

January 3, 2025 at 4:16 pmHe has made so many friends and is consistently cheerful when I collect him, he is consistently talking about the team and how much enjoyable he’s had. Would highly suggest it. My son has been attending the childcare centre since he was 9 months old and he is just about to start in the Pre School room (3 and 4-year-olds).

January 31, 2025 at 8:44 pmThe childcare centre facilities themselves are excellent, having had one kid go through every room, I have seen first hand, the equipment and resources available for each age range, the garden area is incredible, particularly for an inner-city childcare centre. It is excellent that they have an option to playtime outside which I know they do daily. All of the team and management team are welcoming, approachable and expert to parents and my kids have formed excellent bonds with them. They are extremely supportive, supportive and attentive. My kids have never been bored at the childcare centre and have made excellent friends. I think their price is very reasonable for what they provide. Cannot suggest it enough. I will be sad when my son leaves for school but pleased that they offer holiday clubs and that my daughter will remain part of The Haven family. I have two kids at this childcare centre, my son started aged 8 months and is now 4 and my daughter has recently started at 9 months.

February 13, 2025 at 4:02 amMy kid loves it there and loves going. The team are very welcoming and very supportive, they are exceptional at informing you of what your kid has been doing, any incidents and general information on what your kid has done during their session. They also change key workers depending on who your kid is closer to, which I think is thoughtful and helps with your kid’s discovering. The rooms they have are full of toys and books and everything your kid needs for their development. They have an outside space that is enclosed which my kid loves. The security to enter the childcare centre is top quality and amazingly reassuring. They are excellent at communicating with parents if there are any issues in the childcare centre. They have up to date policies and procedures and also a covid procedure that fits within government guidelines. Top-quality childcare centre! Absolutely incredible childcare centre!

April 9, 2025 at 9:06 amMy son has been attending just over a year and he has come on so much and the team are outstanding with the kids. By far the best childcare centre in the area. I highly suggest it to friends and family. Outstanding childcare centre.

May 10, 2025 at 1:27 pmThe childcare centre team are very welcoming and easily approachable! Since being at Haven childcare centre, our son has really blossomed and consistently looks forward to going to childcare centre and especially seeing one member of team, in particular. Highly suggest anyone to attend this childcare centre with their little ones! I just only wished they used the parents’ app a lot more as it’s consistently excellent seeing what our little one is up to. Our son has been going here since 2020 and has recently progressed into the toddler room, we couldn’t have picked a better childcare centre for him to go to.

May 28, 2025 at 7:45 pmI sense at peace and confident they provide the best care to all the kids. My reason for choosing this childcare centre in the first place is when I saw how well and supportive they are in providing care as well as education to kids who are still developing. I’ve used this childcare centre since 2009 when my firstborn started attending Haven Childcare centre. Excellent team, great atmosphere and my kids loved it here, including the one at present attending their day care. I am cheerful extremely cheerful with my decision to put our daughter in the Haven childcare centre – team care.

June 5, 2025 at 12:25 pmEvery time I picked up my boys I was told everything down to how much lunch they have eaten, to sleep time, poo and what they played with. All team members know all the kids, not just the ones in their rooms. They are so welcoming and consistently laughing and playing with the kids. My boys consistently wanted to go to childcare centre, I never had to force them. Once I drop them off, in the nicest way possible, I hardly think about them because I know they are secure and well looked after! They celebrate and teach the kids about all events throughout the year and include main caregivers to come in and join them. They were incredible at maintaining toilet training and the snacks are healthy and a great portion. When both my boys were there together, they used to ask the oldest if he wanted to come to the baby room and have playtime with his brother, also giving him the opportunity to help feed him. The kids here are very well looked after and the team are highly trained. Highly recommended.
