What Our Community Say
“My little boy loves going to Play Pals Nursery Hindley Green! The staff are so kind and caring. They create a warm and safe environment where children feel happy and supported. The activities are fun and engaging, helping my son learn and grow. He enjoys playing, singing, and making new friends. Since starting, he has become more confident and independent. Overall, I highly recommend Play Pals to any parent looking for a loving and safe place for their child.’’
‘’A fantastic place for your little one, the structure of the nursery works great for our little girl, she has come out of her shell and become more confident in the very short period she has been attending, and the staff are lovely and helpful. We looked at several other options before visiting here and we were made to feel welcome from the start. Highly recommend’’
‘’My little girl really enjoys her days at Play Pals Nursery, her confidence has grown and she loves socialising with her little friends the nursery programme is well structured and the meals they provide are really tasty. There are lots of activities going on indoors and out the staff always have time to speak to you about any worries, you have just an all-round amazing nursery.’’
‘’Lovely nursery! Very friendly staff, clean and amazing settings. We were struggling to potty train our son and they helped do it. Food variety is great, our son loves snacks there as well. Would love our son to stay here longer but he is heading to pre-school! Thank you for everything.’’
‘’I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude towards the entire staff at PlayPals. Their welcoming, kind, and caring nature has made a significant positive impact on our son's experience at Play Pals. He is truly enjoying and learning every day and attending each day with increasing happiness.’’
This morning at Play Pals Hindley, we visited our local supermarket as part of our CUSP book this week, which is Supertato. First, we drew some vegetables like what we could see in the story and then got ready to go. We took turns pressing the crossing buttons, checked to see if any cars were coming and made sure we were safe to cross. When we got to @tesco, we searched for the vegetables we wanted to make our soup back at nursery. Some vegetables we had to weigh and get a barcode sticker, and we took turns to scan each item at the self service till and pay with our money. We then all chose an apple for free on the way out to have with our warm milk for snack when we got back to nursery #playpalsfamily #littleshoppers #freshvegetables #playpalshindley

After a busy two weeks here at Play Pals Hindley, we gave our children a little treat after we had watched Father Christmas tell us a story, we watched The Snowman. We had bean bags, cushions, blankets and all got super cosy with the big lights off and only the Christmas tree lights shimmering #playpalshindley #cuteandcosy #feelingallchristmassy #playpalshindley

This week we have had lots of fun joining in with Christmas activities and have even made some of our own reindeer food for when Santa arrives #playpalsabram #christmastime
Today in our 3-4 room we have been exploring cold weather. Today we explored ice, we spoke about what ice is and what happens when ice becomes warm. We also spoke about how to keep warm in the cold weather. In our 2-3 room we have been looking at the story 'People Need People'. We have been creating our own food plates to share with our friends, talking about what food we like most at home. #playpalshindley #greatermanchester #foodie #ice #merrychristmas

Yesterday at Play Pals Hindley, we had a lovely trip to our local Library to visit Father Christmas and Chloe Elf. We went into the grotto and saw his snowman and penguins too. The children were all very kind and polite, thanking him for their gifts and goody bags and we had a little play in the children's area as well #comewithus #learninginaction #playpalshindley #locallibrary #fatherchristmas
