Reviews

    All the staff are extremely friendly and approachable and attentive to your child's needs, encouraging their growth by offering a wide range of activities such as; arts, crafts, cooking ,baking and outdoor adventures, not forgetting how to interact with other children. The environment is safe, which is paramount, yet playful and colourful creating a happy feel place. The service they provide reassures you that your child is in more than capable safe and caring hands. We noticed a huge difference within a matter of weeks with our child's confidence and speech, additionally welcomed help with toilet training which was greatly appreciated. I should also mention the first day we left our child, I was a wreck, the staff were so understanding with me, they understood that parting with your little one can be a difficult time and were so kind and considerate. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this playgroup for your child. Keep up the excellent work guys! Well done and thank you.

    My little girl has been going to owls and Pussycats Playgroup for a year now and I cannot recommend them highly enough! The staff are just amazing. So down to earth and really lovely. My little girl begs to go (even at the weekend) and she has massively grown in confidence and social skills since she started going and no longer suffers from separation anxiety like she used to. As soon as my son is old enough I will dofninately be sending him to Owls and Pussycats, I wouldn’t take them anywhere else!

    I used to take my youngest there and then worked as a volunteer years ago. I now work there and love the way so many children grow from shy 2 year olds to confident kids ready to move to big school.
