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.’’

This little piggy Our 0-2 children have enjoyed exploring the this little piggy rhyme this week, making their own footprint pigs and taking them to the market, filling up the baskets with different foods. They also enjoyed finding the pigs in the mud, using scrapers to clear the mud away. #QUESTtrust #EarlyYearsToEmployment #EarlyYearsAtPlayPals
A lovely night in our OOSC on Monday night at Play Pals Hindley. The school children loved playing with the nursery toys and resources. We had bit of role play, some water play and words and letter play with the magnetic letters #earlyyearsatplaypals #playpalsfamily
A quick little drop in at Play Pals Hindley from our Director and QUEST CEO Marc Doyle. He enjoyed playing with the children, as they showed him their construction models they had made and then each bounced the spiky sensory ball as high as they could #growwithus #learninginaction #playpalshindley
This week in our 3-4 week we have looked at The Three Little Pigs. We decided to test the materials used in the story to see if we could blow them down just like the big bad wolf. We have also enjoyed painting The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. We mixed the paints together to make lighter and darker shades of grey and pink. Today we made some tasty pig faces using rice cakes, cream cheese, blueberries and strawberries and had these after our tea. #playpalshindley #greatermanchester #threelittlepiggies
Please see below advice for some fun and festive crafts to do with your children over this holiday season!

This week we had Tracey telling us all about how to brush our teeth correctly, she brought some friends with her including a fish, woody and buzz light year and we listened to a fantastic story about a visit to the dentist We all remember now that when we brush our teeth twice a day for 2 minutes we use NO WATER #playpalsabram
TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR This week the children have enjoyed exploring stars, their shape and colour in different textures. They also enjoyed star fishing and using the scoops and their fingers to get them out of the water why we all sang the rhyme and did the actions together. #QUESTtrust #EarlyYearsToEmployment #EarlyYearsAtPlayPals
Play Pals Hindley had the pleasure of going to the library with the other Bramhall's Book Club members from school. It was great to see the older children taking the lead in play and reading with our nursery children, some lovely interactions happening throughout our visit. #intothecommunity #growwithus #playpalshindley #earlyyearsmatter #bramhall'sbookclub
We had the lovely Tracey from Be Well Wigan come into nursery today at Play Pals Hindley, to help make sure we know how to brush our teeth properly. Woody, Buzz, Freddie the fish and Leo the lion dentist told us that; We brush our teeth for 2 minutes We divide our mouth into 4 sections and brush each section for 30 seconds We brush our teeth TWICE a day - morning and night Night time brushing is the most important time Children should use 1450ppm F strength toothpaste, this is the most appropriate for their little teeth and is found on the back of the box And lastly, We DON'T use water on our toothbrush. The children really enjoyed listening to Tracey and her puppet friends and the story she read to them Thank you for coming #playpalshindley #playpalsfamily #learnwithus #pearlywhites #howtocleanyourteeth
This week in our 3-4 room we have been looking at "The Body Book". Today we have been looking at germs, how they spread and what we can do to stop germs from spreading. The children have enjoyed the soap and glitter experiment, if you would like to do this at home place some glitter or black pepper (germs) into some water. Put a blob of dish soap onto your child's finger and watch the germs run away #hindleygreen #playpalshindley #germs #cleanhands
