Nursery in Shepperton

Hello, my name is Amy Barr and I am the Manager here at Playtime Nursery in Shepperton.

I have been working in childcare since 2001 and I am qualified level 3 in childcare and I also hold a management qualification.

I previously worked at Chapel House Day Nursery and have recently returned from maternity leave after having a little girl of my own, this has given me a much better insight of the challenges many working families have and I hope that this will support to service we are able to offer. I am very passionate about my job and I strive to ensure that every child gets to best possible care and education while at Playtime Nursery Shepperton. From working in childcare for a number of years I know how important children’s routines are and how important a stimulating environment is in meeting each individual child’s needs.

Amy - Nursery Manager

Playtime Nursery Shepperton is located on Govett Avenue, a one-minute walk from Shepperton Railway Station along a quiet road. It is also just a few minutes’ drive from Shepperton Town Centre. Our position makes us extremely convenient to get to and is a major attraction to parents.

First and foremost, we know it is our staff team and our exceptional childcare that stand out to parents but equally we know that being highly convenient to travel to is a significant practical factor in identifying the right nursery for your family.

We occupy a large building which gives us the flexibility to be able to perfectly tailor each age-specific room to the needs of its occupants. It also allows us to create lots of different spaces within each room – from cosy areas for relaxation to open spaces for activities and games. Having these options available at all times means we can offer the children the freedom to explore what interests them as individuals rather than having to adopt regimented schedules where all children have to do specific tasks at the same time.

Another unique attraction of Playtime Nursery in Shepperton for many parents is our HUGE soft play area . We’re probably the only nursery in the UK to have such an extensive and well loved facility.

We have a big outdoor play space, all laid to lawn, which is very well equipped to allow children to develop physically and enjoy a variety of outside activities and learning. Our children love this space so it is used all day every day unless the weather is especially inclement. We have more detailed information about our nursery environments on the Our Nursery page.

If we look as though we could provide a childcare solution for you, then we’d love to see you at our nursery and show you around – so please give us a call on 03330 348963 or pop in to see us, and meet our team.

What Our Parents Say

I cannot recommend Playtime Nursery Shepperton enough as a nursery or preschool to send your little ones to. Our journey as a family has not been an easy one with finding out that our Son was profoundly deaf whilst he was just 6 months in attendance. To say the nursery have been supportive is an understatement as they have very much been on this journey with us. They have gone above a beyond to listen to expert advice and put into place everything they are able to support our son’s development. My son’s Key worker keeps us informed of his days with them, what they have been up to and truly cares about him. She has even gone as far as to attend British Sign Language courses in her own time. I truly feel that the environment that the manager and her team breed at Playtime Nursery Shepperton is one that is safe, fun, caring and inclusive.

L.T Mother of Child

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child)

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
