Playdays is an excellent nursery in Wickford. My little charm started attending when he was 1.5 yrs and was very well cared, loved and played.

He is a fussy eater but still they managed very well with his feeding and working along side me .. very very supportive staff and clare is awesome ,always friendly and helpful in need.

Over all I would say itโ€™s a very very happy place for our loved ones..๐Ÿ˜Š

It's a scary time, as a parent enlisting someone to care for your child. However our fears went immediately once we met Clare, Ian and the 'team'

They have been taking care of our son for almost a year now and we are truly thrilled by the kind, considerate way in which our son is cared for.

One thing I appreciated the most was that Clare and Ian planned activities tailored to my son's needs which really helped with his development. In the months building up to him starting school they also made sure he was familiar with the route to school, the morning routine and even made sure he was confident carrying his own bags to school.....it's all the little things that make such a HUGE difference.

My husband and I always appreciate the texts and messages as well as the new newsletters that keep us up to date with new activities, policies etc.

Moving to the new site has been incredible for the older children (breakfast and after school clubs) and the facilities are outstanding.

Above all else my son feels safe, cared for and loved. What else could we ask for?

I don't think we thank you all enough for your hard work. You truly are all amazing!

My children have been coming to Clare since the beginning of 2014.
We made the descion of looking for childcare when i decided to go back to work and i was very scared i would never find the 'right' people to look after my children. The moment I met Clare and her staff i feel completely at ease anf welcomed and I knew i had made the right choice.
All staff and the children within Clares care are lovely, very friendly and well mannered. My husband says it is a home from home for our children who always come home happy and can not wait to see them after a day off.
Clare and her staff get to know all the children on a one to one basis and they now know exactly what my children do and do not like.
Home cooked meals and text updates are all fantastic. Well done Clare, you are great!
I would recommend to anyone who wants friendly, loving and caring childcare for their children.
