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.’’
Christmas begins for St Johns OOSC. The children have enjoyed creating their own Christmas baubles and writing their Christmas lists to Father Christmas #QUESTtrust #EarlyYearsToEmployment #StJohnsHindleyGreen
WINTER BEGINS... Our 0-2 children have been exploring winter activities this week, they have been rescuing arctic animals from the ice, feeling different textures with cotton wool snow and making their own polar bear faces with paper plates and cotton wool. #QUESTtrust #EarlyYearsToEmployment #EarlyYearsAtPlayPals #LearningIsFun
Play Pals Hindley had a brilliant time visiting Bents Garden Centre. We looked at all the different types of decorations, walked through the Christmas tree forest, used the magic wand to turn the lights on the trees on and off, went under the tunnel of lights and they loved looking at all the cute little village areas, they even took turns going underneath to the dome to see the view from there too. We were complimented by the public throughout the visit on how well behaved our children are, making us very proud And on the way back on the minibus we all practised singing our Christmas carols ready for next week #playpalsfamily #playpalshindley #proudpractitioners #learninginaction #christmastime Bents Garden & Home

On Monday afternoon, Play Pals Hindley had the pleasure of joining the school children in the hall whilst we all sang Christmas songs and decorated the Christmas tree with our own handmade decorations. We also joined in with their tradition for new staff members, of being part of the 12 Days of Christmas performance. #playpalshindley #growwithus #newtraditions #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
We had our first Christmas activity at HGCP on Monday for Play Pals Hindley, watching the pantomime of Snow White. Our children sat beautifully whilst watching the show, making us very proud of them #growwithus #playpalshindley #pantomime #christmastime
What a busy week we have had here at Play Pals Hindley. First of all, we had our first outing on our minibus and the children absolutely loved it. They knew lots of the places that we passed and told us what they could see out of the windows #playpalshindley #explorewithus #wheelsonthebus
Our after school club have created some Amazing decorated jars over the past week and have all different ideas of what they are going to use them for ... money boxes, pen holders, vases, gifts for teachers, fairy lights ... the list goes on #playpalsabram #playpalsfamily #becreative

This little piggy Our 0-2 children have enjoyed exploring the this little piggy rhyme this week, making their own footprint pigs and taking them to the market, filling up the baskets with different foods. They also enjoyed finding the pigs in the mud, using scrapers to clear the mud away. #QUESTtrust #EarlyYearsToEmployment #EarlyYearsAtPlayPals
A lovely night in our OOSC on Monday night at Play Pals Hindley. The school children loved playing with the nursery toys and resources. We had bit of role play, some water play and words and letter play with the magnetic letters #earlyyearsatplaypals #playpalsfamily
A quick little drop in at Play Pals Hindley from our Director and QUEST CEO Marc Doyle. He enjoyed playing with the children, as they showed him their construction models they had made and then each bounced the spiky sensory ball as high as they could #growwithus #learninginaction #playpalshindley
