We couldn’t be happier with our experience!!! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and kindness by the staff, who clearly love what they do. The environment is bright and incredibly welcoming with decorations and plenty of engaging activities for the little ones.
The teachers are not only professional and knowledgeable, but they also show genuine care and affection for each child. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe, happy, and valued. It’s clear that the nursery places a strong emphasis on creating a positive, friendly environment, which has made a huge difference in our child’s development.
Communication with parents is excellent. We receive regular updates on our child’s progress, and the staff is always available to discuss any concerns or questions we might have. The activities are well-planned and educational, with a perfect balance of play and learning. I also love the variety of different languages! Mariam has developed new skills and made wonderful friends, all while having so much fun.
Play-time nursery is a fantastic place for children to grow and thrive. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, safe, and stimulating environment for their little ones. It’s truly an amazing nursery with a family atmosphere that we’re grateful to be a part of…
Thank you so much for everything 🩷

Nanou and her staff are exceptional, their commitment and love for looking after the children are truly noticeable. They are all kind, friendly, and professional. Nanou always finds time if there are any questions or concerns. It is reassuring that every child has a key teacher who gets to know the child a bit better than the others, which I believe, helped my son to settle in and open up (as he is quite reserved).
My son's vocabulary and social skills have improved a lot since he started attending the nursery. They do lots of activities, including cooking, arts, and other fine motor skills activities. There are plenty of toys to play with indoors. Later in the day, they also have a storytime. The children can borrow books from the nursery as well to encourage them to develop a habit of reading (and looking after the books). There is a small outdoor area at the back of the building with plenty of outdoor toys (a slide, a small trampoline, bicycles, toy cars etc.).
I trust them completely and I know that he is always well looked after. I cannot recommend Nanou and her team enough!

Dear Tiina,
Thank you very much for your trust.
Nanou
It took me a while to find a nursery with slow accommodation as my main focus was for my little one to love the nursery from the beginning and not ever leaving him crying in there. Nanou, the manager was very understanding with my concerns and she and the rest of the stuff, especially Dasha was were very patient with me and Tudor. He came a very long way since October when he started. From a toddler which will not seat a second to even eat and run around continuously, now he is starting to respect rules and become understanding overall.
Also, my plan functioned very well, Tudor never cries when I leave, on the contrary, he is the most happy when the doors open.. the atmosphere is always as like there is a big family who is there to help, listen and adapt to whatever needs or concerns there are.
Looking forward for September for the pre school year
