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.’’

Sports Day Our children at Play Pals Hindley had a fantastic time doing their first ever sports day! They really were all winners! #playpalshindley #sportsday #winners #sackrace #eggandspoon
Last week in our 2–3 Room, the children had great fun making their own puddles and enjoyed lots of jumping and splashing! In our 3–4 Room, the children explored with magnifying glasses, searching the soil for different wildlife hiding beneath the surface. #EarlyYearsToEmployment #QUESTtrust #EarlyYearsAtPlayPals #LearningIsFun #SchoolSmiles
