Our younger son has attended Gants Hill Play group since Jan 2017. He has immensely enjoyed every day and every moment of it since day 1. Even on the days he doesn't attend, he reminds us to take him to the play group which explains how much he liked it. We can see the real development of our kid on social, speech and behaviour skills required for this age while he attended the play group.
The staffs were very caring and he has been made feel home. Nihan - the center manager and the Key staff has given personal attention to my kid, as they does for every other kid. The Key support staff taking care of my son has attended every detail required for his age and has provided feedback as and when necessary. As we both are working parents, Its with great sadness we had to arrange him a full time care.
This playgroup has very positive feedback from friends whose kids have attended based on which we have joined. I would echo with same sentiments that this playgroup is among best around this area. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone who are looking for care arrangements.
We sincerely thank all the staff at Gants Hill Play group, and we wish them all the very best.

Hi Satheesh,
Thank you so much for your kind words, reading them made us very happy. It was a pleasure to work with you and your child. We wish you and your family all the best for the future.
Kind Regards,
Gants Hill Playgroup
Excellent place for my daughter who started out here. It was her 1st nursery and she absolutely loved the experience. From the very first day my anxiety of leaving my daughter with someone else disappeared. My daughter was so attached to me that I was worried how she's gonna settle down in a nursery where she didn't know anyone but since day one Nihan and other staff members took such a good care of her and made her feel at home.. they understood her needs and likes and made every effort to keep her happy and at the same time worked hard to develop her socially and academically.. they engaged children in various activities and every day there was something new which didn't let the children to get bored..
I have no words to describe how lovely Nihan (manager) is.. she gave personalized attention to each & every child and even went an extra mile when needed.. she gave very important and much needed support not only to the children but also to the parents. Because of her we were rest assured that our daughter is in safe hands..
I appreciate their efforts and hardwork..They gave more than 100% to all parents and children.. My daughter really miss all her teachers and talks about the fun she had at the nursery..
I wish all the best to all the staff, especially Nihan and I wish she was running a whole school so we wouldn't worry about looking for the best school for our children..
best wishes & keep up the good work x

My daughter had been to different nurseries before(because of our relocation), but this was the only nursery where she used to look forward to go to.
Nihaan and teachers are not only professional but also take personal care of each child to make them feel comfortable and cared.
They also took care of my girl's special snacking habits and I was very pleased with it.
My girl also learnt a lot in the nursery and I can not ask for more.
Apart from all the professional care, I personally felt Nihaan is like a mother figure to the children in the way she cares for them. I have seen her many times going to the extra mile for the kids and parents.
Heartfelt thanks to Nihaan and team for providing a wonderful experience to my daughter as well as me.

Our son advaith (adhu) attended Gantshill playgroup during 2016 and 2017. It was his first playgroup and as with every parent, we were worried about his new phase on the first day. However, the staff at Gantshill playgroup led by Ms. Nihan Icel has been very professional and by the first week, we were convinced that our kid is in able hands and never had to worry about his care and learning. We are very much impressed with the development we have seen in our kid in his social, cognitive (for his age) and behavioral skills. This would not have been possible without dedicated and personal care for each child in the playgroup by the staff.We sincerely thank the staff at Gantshill playgroup for their diligent efforts in making this happen.

First of all, on a day and age where professions are centred based on money, it was overwhelming and very pleased to meet a Head Teacher like you. Secondly thanks to all your teachers and support staff too who was around our little one providing an excellent foundation for learning all activities. We are extremely happy with the progress made by our little daughter in every aspect and we will recommend you Play group 100% to any parent who is interested.
We talk about “Florence Nightingale” when it comes to nursing and I am sure that we don’t have to wait that longer to hear your name “Nihan Icel” when it comes to Teaching :)
Thank you very much again and may God bless you all.
Rachel will miss you all so much..

Gants Hill Playgroup
My child joined nursery when he is 2.7 yrs old,at the time of joining we were so much worried about his development and especially speech.We felt that he is far behind his own milestones and we handed over him to the Gants hill Playgroup staff's with lot of worries and confusion with stress& sleepless nights.From Day one when my child started to nursery till he enters into school they took proper care with love.Within a month i felt that my child is in a more safer place than our home.They are showing care not only to child,they show it to the child's parent in a way of responding all our queries even-though it is silly most of the times and also they give guidance to encourage your child pron's.(we normally do that as a parent but sometimes we often fail to praise our child).Playgroup staff's are extremely patience to respond our queries which is highly appreciable! and they will be truthful!!!
My Child developed sharing skills and good behavior quickly as soon as he joined.They will give activities according to the child's interest &engage them properly and encourage and praise them in each step.my child likes Friday where they will be playing small music instruments when they sing rhymes and kids will make a sandwich or cup cake designs etc.. They are very transparent in what they are doing.All information about nursery will be displayed in notice boards and they will also give you termly newsletters and one to one parents Teachers meeting half yearly to know more about.
They moulded my child and he got ready to go to school with good speaking skills and all developmental needs.He was tough to settle down at the nursery initially but they did it with ease!! and projected out to concentrate about his needs.They treat all children equally without any discrimination and consider each child as their own child:-)).Playgroup was often been our second home.I myself feel sometimes like 'why do i didn't get a chance as a child to join this nursery' and feel the warmth of the staff's.:-)).My child began to school now with hygiene & toiletry,feeding himself,understanding others emotions,speaking confidently,sharing,making positive relationships with others and self discipline & obeying all rules.We are so so so thankful & grateful to Nihan and especially to his KEYPERSON and entire playgroup staff's,without them i couldn't imagine anything.They are the BEST ALWAYS!!!!!They are the pillars in my child's life.We terribly MISS YOU NIHAN and Gantshill Staff's.:-((( Their approach and ways are always unique!! And my child and we are very proud to say that we came from Gantshill nursery.Like wise ,I have lots & lots of information & good things are there, more to write about the nursery!!!
THANKYOU SO MUCH NIHAN AND GANTSHILL STAFF'S !!!

My son Omar joined the nursery when he was 2yrs & 5 months old. I was familiar with the nursery and was contented that my child would be well looked after.
It's a well organised setting & all the teachers and staff are very understanding, efficient and caring.
My son was speech delayed and since he started going to gants hill playgroup his speech improved quite a lot. Children are given extra attention in areas where they are lacking behind.
Children get opportunity to explore both outdoor activities along with indoor fun.
Throughout the year various plays and activities are organised so children enjoy immensely.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Both my kids attended Gantshill playgroup from age 2 before they went to nursery.
The staff are lovely, like family where they are approachable about any issues/concerns. They were always helping be it toilet training to encourage the children to eat food! Nihan was ever so accommodating incase i needed an extra session to attend family emergencies or returning back to work.
The building itself is a church hall. It is child friendly. The staff modify the room every morning to make it look like a nursery and you would never be able to tell that its a church hall! The only downside to the location is a lack of parking but as i only spend 5mins max picking/dropping the kids, its not such a big issue!
I felt my kids learnt a lot from being at the playgroup! They helped the kids develop into tiny confident individuals who very quickly became independent and self sufficient. Their vocabulary increased, they learned a lot of educational things within a short period of being there.
The playgroup offers two sessions a day from 9-12 then 12-3 which ran alongside normal school hours so i got to pick my younger more or less the same time as my older child from gearies which is very handy if you are a working parent.
I felt very reluctant to take my kids out of this playgroup as both the children and i were very happy with every aspect of the children being there.. But due to age, the kids had to move on!
Thank you to Nihan and the rest of the staff for all your support in helping me with high quality/low cost childcare. Both myself and the kids will miss you!
Thanks,
Sonia
