Child centered education in Croydon

“This place is a dream! Massive soft play center! My now 6 year old and 2 year old had an amazing time. They have a toddler section up to 5 years old and then the main play area for the bigger kids. Then they have electric quad bikes, a rock wall , and a place to eat. The slot is 2 hours which is a perfect amount of time to get you and the little ones worn out! Tip : its advised to wear shoes in the main play area, the wood and rope really hurt your feet :)”

“I will be placing my son into this nursery in a few months time. Having experienced other settings, Fennies offers a variety of events not seen at other nurseries. The building is light and spacious and the staff are very friendly.”

“Both of my children attended this school and they loved every minute of it. The teachers are very caring and nurturing.”

“Our two children attended the nursery . From day one, we were convinced they were in good hands. The kids were just blossoming and wanting to learn new things. Every child is cared for, loved and guided to be creative. We made the best choice by choosing this nursery. Thank you lovely lady's for all of your love, kindness, patience and support. You always will be part of our family.”

“My sons have attend the nursery one is shy and the other very lively and not so shy! The nursery has been really good in teaching and using creativity. My son is always bring home drawings and creations and loves seeing them at home. He really loved a counting book that nursery made that he brought home. Really helped with his counting. Staff are friendly and responsive to parents questions.”

“Really haply with the facility as well as the staff members, really friendly, professionals and do know how to understand the child's needs! My daughter used to cry so much at first, but after a few sessions she started to eat better, to enjoy more and made friends to play with! I do love that they have a very good routine in place that works well around the little ones needs, when she come home after a day spent she really is ready to go to sleep after a busy day at nursery!”

“I recommend, the staff is very friendly and always helps. My child feels very well there.”

“Great children's centre. My favourite. It has a sensory room and soft play. It is open every day, different activities. Check beforehand to avoid disappointment. It gets full so be on time.”

“My son joined Little Apples at 14 months old and quickly settled in, largely down to the friendly and caring staff. Each morning we are greeted with a warm smile and each afternoon at pick up we are told what he did that day and what his response was to that activity. Throughout the day we can see what he is up to using the Blossoms app, where his general progress is recorded and well as developmental milestone tracking and praise. We genuinely feel relaxed when our son is at Little Apples and therefore made the easy decision to enrol our youngest child there too (he starts in a few months). We feel very lucky to have found such a great nursery for our boys; knowing we can go to work and have peace of mind that they are having fun, learning and kept safe.”

“Great centre for the local parents with children aged under 5. Lots of free courses for the parents too!”

“My son has been in this nursery for several months, but he has learned a lot. I recommend for kids the staff is lovely and a lot of it.”

“I’m a staff member and a parent, (on maternity) the girls are lovely, I felt welcome when I had started, my child absolutely loves it here and I know she is well looked after when I’m not there, she has learnt so much, they do so much with the children, amazing activities and themes they celebrate regularly and she always brings home work to show me and her dad, the company is brilliant, and they are a credit to Play Place, 5 star ⭐️”

“Wonderful place and a great nursery overall. Staff are friendly, accommodating and great with the kids. Couldn’t recommend this place more.”

“A fantastic place for kids to learn and develop. The staff are wonderful and genuinely care. I feel comfortable as a parent for my child to visit this facility.”

“Amazing child friendly place .. My daughter had great fun and a learning support.”

“Excellent, clean and professional nursery, providing quality care for my child. The staff are always engaging which has enabled my child to settle in well. The manager Saleha is lovely and always make sure your mind is at ease when it comes to the care of your child.”

“I have been working at Purley Oaks for over 10 years now as a class teacher , both in Year One and Reception. I can honestly say that I love it here. Everyone is so kind and welcoming . We all help each other out no matter what year group we are in or what job role we have - we are a great team! I was advised when I was an NQT to keep moving to different schools but I really don’t want to be anywhere else! In Reception we are a fantastic team and work very closely together. We have such fun and it is amazing to see the children progress throughout the year. I feel that in Early Years we give children a great start to their learning careers!”

“A great primary school with nursery and was such a sad thing leaving. Amazing kind teachers and exciting fun sports activities like cricket, football and hockey. Shout-out to Mrs Allen”

“My daughter has just started here and I am very happy with our experience so far. The staff are amazing and have been very supportive. I had some initial worries about my girl not taking milk in a bottle (I am still breast feeding 15 months later :/) but they reassured me that they will try to get her to have some and if not they will offer her some fruit as an alternative. It was to my great surprise when I went in to pick her up on day four that she had drank half a cup of milk and was fast asleep. I couldn't believe my eyes and actually started crying. My little lady had NEVER slept without boob or being tied to my mum's back at nap time - one more week of this and I am sure poor grandma was going to need physio on her back haha. Honestly, thank you, thank you, thank you for making this anxious first time mumma bear feel more comfortable (almost totally there) letting her cub go ( albeit for a few hours in the day) and for saving grandma's back!”

“Omg the best nursery the staff everything about this nursery is beyond.... Is very good. Is a best start for u child”

“Nice teachers.my children are doing very well.thank you”
