The 20 Best Child space in Portsmouth

“Very good nursery, my son loves spending time there. He is very fond of Liam on hi5. Liam is very caring to the children no wonder all the children are “crazy” about him, my son included.”

“Awesome venue, great session. We went to a Friday night under 11s disco. Amazing staff huge thank you to Sarah at the Portsmouth branch who went above and beyond to provide excellent customers service”

“I led a wedding ceremony here and the staff were lovely. Its modern and big and run very well its a good set up and I had a great time. Oli the operations manager was lovely and knows his stuff and was very helpful. The wedding ceremony went so well I would definitely work with them again in the future.”

“Had my daughters 5th Birthday Party today at Busy Town and as always we are very impressed. It was one of the most enjoyable children's parties I have booked, so easy and so good! Busy Town did the food and party bags so all we had to do was turn up with the cake and everything was taken care of. Julie and Hannah are fab and us adults could just socialise whilst the children played freely with all of the toys. If you want a hassle free party this is the way to go!”

“Our son has been going to Wonder House Nursery for about a year now and he enjoys it so much. Drop off and pick-up is really efficient which is handy when busy with work. They really focus on his personal development with teeth brushing, self feeding and social skills. The feedback you get has been so much better than other experiences we have had getting an update everyday on the app with photos to see what he’s been up to. The baby room team are so lovely and personable you feel so welcome and they are such a credit to the nursery, thank you!”

“Country Mouse Nursery have been a huge part of my little boys development and he has learnt so many things from the fabulous staff. We get so many compliments from external people saying how clever, polite and kind our little boy is, and the nursery staff play a huge part in this !! He loves going into nursery to see his friends and all the staff! As parents we are so happy to see him thrive in this environment and watch him turn into a happy little boy. The activity days for the kids are amazing, and sometimes we are gobsmacked without how much they have done throughout the week. We never have any concerns or worries .. our little boy is in the safest hands and the best environment for him to learn and be happy! Country Mouse is the perfect nursery for your little ones :)”

“We have had Green Roots in our life's now for over 5 years, our first won attend not long after it opened and it was clear from the start that he was going to be very happy here. The staff are amazing and give the children all the care and love in the world, as well as providing the most fantastic environment for them to learn and grow. Our second son has been here for over a year and half and again I cannot fault the experience that he is having, both my boys settled quickly and have flourished at Green roots.”

“A huge selection of toys and games, available. We came here to pick up some christmas presents for our grandchildren and manged to get all but one item on our list. The one item we couldn't get was sold out, but it should be back in stock soon.”

“The Staff here are beyond amazing. They are so good with the children, always doing different things to help them learn and grow. Can’t fault them at all. Great space too, lots of room for them to run about indoors and a lovely outdoor area too. My son loves it here so much and is always talking about the staff who have become a big part of his life.”

“Both my girls love going to nursery and have learnt so much already the team are friendly and enthusiastic with everything. Thanks”

“I moved my son here when they first started being open 51 weeks, as a working parent I needed wraparound care. Set in a lovely location with a huge green, a newly build hall, allotments & local parks that they visit - this is the perfect setting. With a close relationship with the practitioners you know your little ones are having more 1-2-1 as it is a smaller setting. Lots of activities to do as well as daily walks, outings to the local supermarket. It is enjoyed by all. They also had visits from ambulances, forest school leaders etc With daily updates on Tapestry I knew my son was having the best time as well as being well updated with news & events. It was easy to communicate with the staff. Cecilia, my sons Key Worker was fantastic. Always keeping me updated with my son’s progress and any problems I would be notified. Thank you Claire, Hannah and the rest of the team. We miss Little Learners!”

“The most lovely little preschool where every child is valued and where independence is promoted. My youngest is currently at preschool and my eldest also went to Waltham Chase Pre-school. My youngest asks to go everyday and doesn’t give me a second glance as she runs in.”

“This is such a special place for little people. Our son was cared for by Michelle before she opened the nursery and he now attends Lime Tree and absolutely adores it. The staff are both highly professional yet very caring and look after the children as if they were their own (they are also brilliant at giving advice, when asked, to first time parents who may have a few questions about development, health or behaviour - and I really value this!). I love that there is an element of theme with their play and learning (for instance, countries, colours or world festivals) and while they spend some time in with their own age group they also spend plenty of time mixing with the other ages which provide a more realistic home from home feel and helps my toddler in his development by playing with and learning from the older children. He has so much fun and gets so much out of his time at Lime Tree, I couldn't recommend it more highly.”

“I can’t rate Cygnets highly enough. My daughter is autistic (just left for school) and staff always went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and to give her the best care. I always felt reassured that she was okay and safe plus everyone was always so friendly and helpful. My youngest still goes and absolutely loves it. I’ve not a bad word to say. Thank you to all at cygnets for such a lovely nursery/pre-school experience for my girls.”

“Highly recommend Priory Park Preschool, my son has attended from the age of 2yrs 9months and he will leave next week to start school. He has truly loved his time at preschool, and is always excited to go, he talks fondly of all the staff and we haven’t had a single bad experience. The staff couldn’t be more friendly or caring, and we feel very grateful to all the ladies at Priory Park Preschool for all they have done for our son.”

“My daughter went here and my son will be starting soon. The preschool is amazing, the staff put a lot of effort into making everyday full of fun for the kids. My daughter still goes back to see them every now and then because she misses nursery it’s made such a positive impact on her early years.”

“Fittleworth playgroup is the most welcoming place for us. They have been so nice, the staff are great, friendly and most of all brilliant with my daughter. The activities they have set up each day look amazing!! The inside and outside space is so bright and colourful theres so many areas of different play. I would recommend this playgroup in a heart beat :) can't wait for my next daughter to experience it all... Such fun!”

“We first moved this direction when our son was young and started looking for a family friendly nursery. With a nursery background myself I was particularly fussy, but I was very pleased when I came across Greatham Nursery. They were so helpful; it had a lovely feel when I viewed and the location is perfect. My son attended from 2 years until he started school and his sister is currently in the pre-school there. One of the best things about the nursery is the staff. My son still talks about the teaches he had, they have left a wonderful mark on his early years life and continue to do so with my daughter. I would not hesitate in recommending Greatham Nursery. ⭐️”

“Brilliant pre school! Staff are all friendly and approachable and my son loves being there! He has made some great friends, loves being in the garden and developmentally he has come on leaps and bounds! Every member of staff know all the children so well and cater to all their individual needs. Couldn't be happier with our choice of pre school, it's because of them that our son is fully prepared for his next chapter at big school :)”

“Such a wonderful pre school, couldn’t be happier with the support they provide for my little boy.”

“I would highly recommend Toad Hall nursery in Haslemere. My little one calls it home and loves playing there with friends, doing ballet, going out in the gardens, learning new skills every day. Our current key worker Libby is fun, caring and always greet us with a smile.”

“My daughter has attended the setting since she turned 1. Right from her first settling in session, the staff made her feel instantly settled, engaged and content. At 18 months old, she runs in each day without a glance back at me, eager to see what’s been set up for the day. This tells me more than any review could! The daily home cooked meals look and sound delicious and are clearly enjoyed by the children. Beautiful setting - even the drive up to it finishes off the overarching feeling of professionalism that echo’s from all the staff”

“Lovely staff, great outside space. Our son is very happy here.”

“Somerstown Family Hub is an invaluable resource for our community. Their dedication to providing support and services for families is truly commendable. I 'm happy for Miss Julie. She is truly an amazing person who provides exceptional care. I've had the pleasure of being under her care, and I couldn't be happier with the environment she creates and the services she offers. I feel incredibly grateful to have her support during this important time”
