Services
We put the individual needs of your child first by providing an environment that is healthy, happy and safe. Our freshly prepared meals, coupled with our enhanced curriculum, ensures that your child benefits socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually, and is well prepared to continue their learning at school.
Your child's experiences through free play, physical activity and guided learning combine to shape their development as a whole person and can have a positive lifelong impact. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) forms the bedrock of our curriculum and sets the standard for the learning, development and care of your child.
Unstructured play enables your child to nurture their curiosity and encourages creative and inventive thought. By observing what your child likes to do, our team can tailor activities to suit their interests. We want to really understand your child as an individual. We support play by setting the stage and following up on your child's interests.
Our layout allows us to place children in rooms based on the stage of their development, not just their age. This means we can respond to your child's needs by ensuring they are placed in an environment that gives them the best space to shine. Our youngest room is for crawlers and early walkers, just starting their journey at Play 2 Learn.
Food is important to us at Play 2 Learn. A child's diet in the early years builds the foundations for their ability to grow, learn and thrive. Research confirms that healthy eating habits in the years before school influence a range of health and development outcomes in later life.
Our partnership with the Professional Nursery Kitchen guarantees the delivery of fresh and healthy meals that are perfectly balanced to ensure your child obtains the right amount of energy, nutrients and variety of food.Vegetarians and vegans are catered for, as are children with special dietary needs, allergies or religious requirements.

My girls have been attending P2L since they were 8months old, as a parent it is difficult leaving your babies in someone else's care for 10hrs a day however they are now 3.5yrs old and love every single minute of being at the Nursery.
The things P2L have taught them are incredible, their speech is very advanced for their age, they come home and shock us constantly with what they have learnt that day. My girls have loved every single room leader/helper they have had. Each worker has made it so easy and comfortable for us as a parent. The caring aspect is second to none.

My little boy has attended since the age of 1 and is now in pre-School at the Nursery...Play 2 Learn have been incredible in his journey, from the tears and tantrums to laughter and play.
I would like to personally highlight Holly (Dragonflies) who has been amazing in helping my son settle into his new room these last few months, Holly has been so understanding, friendly and approachable. Thank you.

My maternity leave was coming to an end which meant we had to start thinking about childcare for our daughter. I was on the lookout for nurseries in the area and noticed Play2learn. I decided to check out the reviews and was impressed by what I read. To confirm what the reviews said, I organised a visit.
As soon as I stepped inside, I automatically felt calm as there was a warm and friendly atmosphere. My feelings were confirmed as I toured the different classrooms. Further confirmation was given by my daughter who crawled to the other kids and forgot I had even left the classroom!

I attended a show around with my daughter recently and we were met by the manager Victoria who made us feel instantly at ease. We were shown around all of the rooms where all the staff were friendly and the children busy playing. My granddaughter went off and played and was happy to stay in the bumblebee room and play while we looked at the rest of the nursery. Very very impressed with the staff and feel at play 2 learn

My daughter went to Play 2 Learn for a few years. She started as a 6 month old and stayed there right up until she left for school a few months ago. The level of care shown by all the staff was incredible and I could not fault the nursery. I am pregnant with my second child and will be sending him/her to Play 2 Learn as soon as they are old enough! Thank you once again to the entire team - you have really made my daughter blossom into a confident, happy little girl! Sarah H

This is such a wonderful nursery. I came recently to look around and was so impressed with the setting and the way the children were cared for. The lady who showed us around was so helpful and reassuring. Unfortunately, I have to move away from Grays so it is too far to travel but I would still highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking.
