Grove Park Pre-School and Day Nursery

Our daughter attended this nursery for just under a year, and sadly had to leave last week as we have moved to a different city. She was 1 when she started and loved nursery, she turned from a baby into a confident, curious and playful toddler whilst here. The staff are all so welcoming and we loved the emphasis on training at the nursery. It's a small setting with a lovely garden and fun activities every day. Many of our daughters first words were the names of staff which she loves to say every day! Special thanks to the owners who made us and our daughter feel so welcome and for providing this homely nursery in the community for nearly 30 years. We'll miss you all!

This is massively traumatic for the children and again doesn't follow the Ofsted framework. I have reported them to Ofsted, the council and my MP because children shouldn't be treated in this way because a parent asked some questions. Wanted to share my experience before you put your child here.

My daughter joined the setting when she was almost 3 years old and immediately settled in well. She formed an amazing bond with her key person who she could not stop talking about. She transformed from a shy little girl to a very confident, chatty and playful girl in the setting. My husband and I particularly loved the variety of activities the children engage in, from weekly French and Yoga lessons to tea parties, fancy dress, etc. We loved how the kids' interests were supported e.g. my daughter loves drawing and mark-making and was confidently writing various letters of the alphabet within her first month (e.g. she would write the letter A and say 'Mummy, an A is up, down and across!'). The manager is so friendly, informative and understanding, as are all the staff I encountered! The parent app is amazing and is updated every day without fail which is great. I could go on and on, but will end by saying that I highly recommend Grove Park Nursery and Pre-school!
