Services
Here at Into-Play, we believe in offering you and your child the best professional care and creating positive, nurturing relationships through our robust key person system. This is what drives our child care practitioners to be so highly motivated. Many of our staff are parents themselves so understand the apprehension many of you face when putting your children in a nursery for the first time.
In 2009, ten nurseries in Gloucestershire were approached to pilot the new food/healthy eating scheme for the under 5's. Into-Play in Longlevens was one of the ten! We have also recently been handpicked by the Bristol University to take part in the NAPSACC* study, which is an obesity research study that has been hugely successful over in America and is now being trialled in the South of England before (hopefully) being rolled out nationally.
Here at Into-Play, we provide well planned experiences, both indoors and outdoors, based on each individual child's interests. Our staff team will support all children to learn with enjoyment and challenge, through a balance of child-initiated and adult-led activities.
Ongoing observational assessments are carried out to inform our planning for each child's individual development, children are encouraged to make choices and decisions about a range of activities they would like to be involved in throughout the day.We take the babies and children out for walks around the local area, so they benefit from the environment and learn about the world around them.

We accept the government funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds and the extended 30 hour funding. A late fee of 5% PLUS a 20.00 admin fee will be incurred if fees are not received on time. My eldest daughter went to this nursery and we thought it was excellent, she thrived there. We were delighted to welcome James Tunnell from the Nursery Nook who came to our Longlevens site to deliver.

My daughter started nursery age 5m and 1w, from day 1 the staff has been taking great care of her. She loves going to nursery and gets loads of cuddles! She's now 17 months and is doing constant progress. The staff is even trying their best to speak a bit of french to her! Even though she's young, she already has some good friends. I would definitly recommend the nursery to anyone!

My son and daughter have been going to into play since they were 9months old. Both loved it! They have always loved going and enjoy all the fun they have there. The staff are amazing and love to tell you all about the day they have had.. My daughter goes to school in September and will miss them all terribly. Thank you into play for making both of their experiences fun!

My Little girl loves her nursery. The team is lovely and always happy to help.
They have been marvelous in helping my little one to have a smooth transition from under 2's to over 2's.
The atmosphere is happy and children look cheerful.
My older daughter who is nearly 8 went to into-play Longlevens when she was just 8 months old.
I will recommend into-play Longlevens to parents who are looking for a good nursery. Thanks, Rubina

My daughter went to intoplay for around 18 months before she moved to school. I moved her from a childminder where she never really settled, so was initially worried but the staff were fantastic and she settled in so quickly, they had a great introducing program and I never looked back - even on difficult days when my daughter had maybe been unwell or just wanted to stay with mummy and daddy the staff were great, they always treated the child as an individual and adapted there methods to make the child feel safe and secure while away from home. Leah loved all the activities and learning and still

I have 3 children at Intoplay Longlevens in every room.
They have all been there from babies and I have had such a positive experience, from the fabulous team who run like a family, all so close and friendly, to excellent catering and great activities. I also have a child with Downs syndrome at the nursery and they have been so incredibly supportive in aiding his development and providing excellent service from the senco there.
They communicate so well in numerous means and you always get the opportunities to discuss your childs progress and any next steps.
I really cannot rate them enough,

What a fantastic Nursery! Both my children have attended from 6 months onwards, my eldest is now Three my youngest 17 months. Trust me both myself and my wife have had the thoughts of are we doing the right thing leaving our babies with people you don't really know, How will they settle him/her when they cry etc? WORRY NOT! The Staff are fantastic and provide a level of care above and beyond that they are trained for because they have natural mothering instinct. My little girl now three told me yesterday "Daddy, I have had a Lovely day, I love my Nursery". For me this is Gold! My Child is happy
