  • Tommy has attended the Creche at Portishead Youth Club since it opened in September. He has loved every second, he gets stuck into Arts & Crafts, Messy play, music time and playing with the cars & trains. He often forgets to say goodbye to me as he is so excited to get in and start playing with his friends.

He often forgets to say goodbye to me as he is so excited to get in and start playing with his friends. It has been so important for him to interact socially with children his own age especially during these Covid times. I have been so impressed with the staff, how they have made the creche such a safe and covid secure place for the children to play and learn. It has also been such a lifeline to me, having two hours to sort the house out, home school my daughter and have a hot cup of tea!

    Creche sessions have provided our daughter with an invaluable amount of opportunities to develop her socialisation, creativity, and independence building skills. She absolutely loves going to Creche and is always excited to tell us about the different activities she’s done such as; a great variety of arts and crafts, playing in the home corner, creating things with play dough and numerous messy play opportunities. The staff that run Creche are lovely and we have been so grateful for the Creche sessions throughout lockdown. It had provided us, as a family, with much needed stability and reassurance.

  • Thank goodness we have the crèche facilities! We have sent our child since September last year. During lockdown we have had limited support so the crèche has been a lifeline for our family. We were conscious that Milo needed to play with other children and develop key fundamentals that he would otherwise miss out on if he had stayed at home.

    Thank goodness we have the crèche facilities! We have sent our child since September last year. During lockdown we have had limited support so the crèche has been a lifeline for our family. We were conscious that Milo needed to play with other children and develop key fundamentals that he would otherwise miss out on if he had stayed at home.
    Milo has thrived during his time at crèche and enjoys the daily activities which are initiated by his interests. His communication and social skills have improved enormously and we know he is safe in the hands of the brilliant staff members who are so nurturing and creative with their activities. I would highly recommend crèche for anyone in the local area.

  • Both Anna and I are delighted that The Creche provided an oasis for our daughter Jessica during the past few months. It's amazing how she has progressed and improved her socialisation and communication skills during her 3 sessions per week, as well as enjoying a change of scenery with new toys and other children of similar ages. Her first 2 or 3 visits were fraught with tears, however, with the professional, kind and caring staff providing a big ...more

    Both Anna and I are delighted that The Creche provided an oasis for our daughter Jessica during the past few months. It's amazing how she has progressed and improved her socialisation and communication skills during her 3 sessions per week, as well as enjoying a change of scenery with new toys and other children of similar ages. Her first 2 or 3 visits were fraught with tears, however, with the professional, kind and caring staff providing a big smile and a warm hug in the following days, it didn't take too long for her to become comfortable, she now looks forward to her sessions....leaving the session completely worn out and needing a nap!
    The Creche has been an important resource for us, helping us, and of course Jessica, with a smooth trouble -free transition to Nursery.
    The staff are truly excellent, ready with a smile, always helpful and in our experience, really supportive with Jessica's well-being.
    To our family, The Creche has been a lifeline in the dark lockdown days, as life gets back to normality, we look forward to continuing sending Jessica, she enjoys it so much.
