Review from Juanita T (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is now 11 months and started attending Pine Rivers - Acorn room (pink bubble) at 9 months. The transition has been remarkable from settling in days to 3 full days a week. I cannot thank the staff enough for their professionalism, updates, patience and making me feel at ease (especially her key worker) as my daughter continues her journey, I feel more and more comfortable each day. With the online Parentzone app, I get to see updates throughout my daughter's day which is fantastic, seeing key developments, and moments that are captured by the staff, meals, sleeps etc. The nursery is close to us as many other family children have attended throughout the years and I would highly recommend it to other family and friends. Well done to all the staff!

Reply from Lesley Delecia, Director at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd

Thank you for such a wonderful review! Communications and updates with the parents and carers have become even more essential since the pandemic started and ParentZone has enabled us to keep that close contact. When parents can't come into the nursery due to restrictions and babies have never been...

Overall Experience

Staff are all so friendly and caring. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery. She has finally come out of her shell and gets so excited when she goes! I love the parent zone app which is used so I can see what she gets up to throughout the day.

Reply from Lesley Delecia, Director at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd

Thank you! It's such a pleasure to watch the children's confidence blossom during their time with us. We love the ParentZone app too!

Review from Andrea M (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been there since he was 1 year, now he is 4. I had to take him out of the nursery for economic reasons at some point and he was very sad when he couldn't go back to Nursery. He settled perfectly since day one, he loves his carers, you can see him kissing them and hugging them goodbye. You can tell that he feels comfortable and confident with the staff. He has made close friends. The nursery does parties through the year where families and kids can integrate also the kids are doing frequently parties and all sorts of fun activities. The menu is very good and my son eats everything. Premises are great. My son loves going there and even some weekends ask if he can go to the nursery! I feel relaxed knowing that my treasure is in safe hands!

Reply from Lesley Delecia, at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd

Thank you so much for your review, we were so happy when your family returned to our nursery and we are so pleased your son enjoys the food as we have a new healthy menu for this term!

Review from M L (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Pine Rivers Kindergarten is not one of the popular nurseries, which in a way adds to its charm. It is a family run nursery with a family feel, as soon as I visited the nursery more than three years ago I knew I wanted my son to attend there. The team has a low turnover and there is a real attention to care. My two sons are attending Pine Rivers and they both love it, everyone from the admin officer to the manager and key workers, for instance, really care for the children. I think it is because the director has instilled a good ethos, where the child and the wellbeing of the child are at the heart of what they do. The garden is beautiful and big as well as the nursery, it is clean and looked after simply because it's been in the family of the director for years so they all care.

So if you want a traditional nursery, where your child will be taught excellent values then Pine Rivers is for you.

Thank you so much for your review. As a well established independent nursery we strive to have that family feel throughout everything we do, we are pleased your family feels happy and settled here at Pine Rivers.

Review from Danielle W (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has always found it difficult to transition to new environments so naturally, I was apprehensive about him starting nursery. He has settled in so beautifully at Pine Rivers I now wonder what I was so worried about. All of the nursery teachers are lovely, and my son is happy and confident whilst there. They do a lovely range of activities and I'm always being told what varied activities he's been up to that day. They also eat a healthy and yummy selection of meals. I would recommend Pine Rivers to any parent as I do believe my son attending here is thoroughly preparing him for reception class next September.

Reply from Lesley Delecia, Director at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd

Thank you for your kind review. Our children come to us with varying degrees of confidence and we pride ourselves in adapting the care we give and the environment to best suit their needs. We love preparing them for school but are sad to see them go.

Review from Lucy (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son had been in Pine Rivers Kindergarten for 3 years since he was 1 year old. He absolutely loved it. It took him very short time to settle, loved his key workers. He has gained lots of academic and social skills. All members staff has been very helpful, easy to talk to. Very cosy and domestic atmosphere inside, beautiful garden, which allows kids to do lots of activities outside. Management was very flexible with our requests and needs as full time working parents. We felt like part of a family rather than just a customer. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Reply from Lesley Delecia, at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd

Thank you for such kind words, we love to see the children grow and thrive at our nursery and are so proud to see them skip off to school so happy, we have enjoyed every minute!

Review from Katharine B (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son was here for 2 years. I found the menu was varied and healthy with regular meals and snacks. Staff handover was given each day reliably and preference for routine were followed wherever possible (e.g. if my son chooses to sleep or not eat something there's only so much you can do!) Able to accommodate a dairy free diet with minor limitations. Outside garden space is lovely and really enjoyed. Always happy and occupied on being picked up. None of his clothes lost or ruined. Lovely book of his progress. Whole staff team knew his name. Lots of craft activities.

Review from Sephiea (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at the nursery when she was 9 months old, she was cared for very well in the baby room. I never felt worried at any point leaving my daughter to go to work. The staff were always friendly and respected our family values and beliefs. My daughter has now left at 4yrs old and she gave the head of the nursery a big hug on her last day. I always loved the way the management team were always very helpful and knew my daughter as an individual not just another child in the group. My daughter always loved the nursery trips to the Library. Pine Rivers always felt like a home away from home, total peace of mind all the years that my daughter attended as well as a good menu available from the on site chef. I will miss the management team as they became our friends. I would definitely recommend the nursery to my friends and family.

Review from Khadijat (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A heartfelt thank you to all the Pine Rivers Kindergarten staff. My daughter has been very happy and has blossomed in your care. It's lovely to see her progress from nursery but it's also sad to see her leaving all of her first friends. I know she will miss you all enormously but at least she and indeed all of us will keep our fond memories of the past years at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd.

I would recommend this nursery any day any time. The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and I think it provides the backdrop for more effective learning.

The Manager is approachable and a very good listener.

Excellent staff who are caring, very professional with a good attitude.

Reply from Lesley Delecia, Director at Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd
Thank you for your kind review, we will miss everyone leaving for school this year as always and wish them all the best for their ongoing learning.

We thoroughly enjoy watching them blossom into confident young children.

Overall Experience
Pine Rivers Kindergarten Ltd just tick all the boxes for us. It's a clean, spacious and a colourful environment with big windows in each room that brings lots of light in. The 4 rooms that are set for the different age groups are spacious and well laid out . At the back of the property there is an outstanding looking garden, the largest I have seen in a nursery and it's on one level. There are several activities areas where the children can explore, run and play while supervised by professional, loving, friendly staff .

I have no doubt I have chosen the best nursery.
