Review from Z A (Father of Child) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've had a very positive experience with Green Park Nursery. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's development and wellbeing. They create a safe, happy, and stimulating environment where children can learn through play and build confidence each day.
Communication with parents has always been excellent, with regular updates on progress, activities, and any important matters. The nursery is well organised, clean, and offers a great range of engaging activities that support learning, creativity, and social skills.
What stands out most is how friendly and attentive the team are, they really take the time to understand each child as an individual. It gives great peace of mind knowing your child is in such capable and caring hands.

I would highly recommend Green Park Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and supportive childcare setting.

Overall Experience

Our twin boys first started Green Park Day Nursery when they were 12 months old, they are now in Pre-School. The staff are all amazing, friendly and supportive and the twins are very well cared for. They have fun filled days with lots of varied activities to keep them entertained. Both my boys have SEN and the team have guided us through a very complex SEND system with full support and interventions to ensure they have the best chances ready for when they start school - and I cannot thank the team enough. We will be sad when the twins journey ends in August, but they are well prepared for their new adventure

Review from Eliza H (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Incredible place. My daughter started at Green Park Nursery when she was 7 months old - she was the smallest there. Now she is in pre-school, and most of the staff know her name and say hi to her.
She absolutely LOVES going to nursery; she is thriving there and learning lots of new skills. The teachers have been amazing - very patient and helpful with her.
Brook is a rock star who really understands my daughter and has created a real bond with her. It will be sad leaving Green Park soon for school, but as a mother, I cannot say enough how grateful I am for all the hard work and support you have provided for my little troublemaker.

Thank you a lot.

Review from Qian C (Father of Child) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We had a very concerning experience with this nursery recently . On my 1 year old son first day, he fell and hit the back of his head, but staff said they had not noticed it. Over the next two weeks, he suffered four separate facial scratches all over the face - one very close to his eye , which has now unfortunately left a permanent scar. As for a parent and new baby just step in to the new world, we are heartbroken..
While accidents can happen, what worried us most was the way staff dismissed these incidents as "normal" and failed to put effective measures in place after I informed. As a result, our child became unsettled, had difficulty sleeping, and lost his appetite.
This nursery does not deserve its "Outstanding" rating, as children's safety and wellbeing should always be the top priority. Sadly, in our experience, it did not meet that standard.

Multiple authorities, including Ofsted, are now investigating. I strongly encourage any parents with similar experiences to raise a complaint.

Review from Kelly M (Mother of Child) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter had a wonderful time at Green Park and the best start we could ask for. We (and she) loved the activities available, the outdoor space, and in particular some really excellent staff members, Hailey, Cerri and Keron.

We also liked a lot of the ethos of the nursery, for example sitting and eating together - our daughter has recently started school and one of the comments is how well the children from Green Park eat at school lunches.

Overall Experience

I currently have two little ones at Green Park Day Nursery and both of them love it there. My eldest, who is now three, has been there since he was ten months old. This nursery has allowed him to flourish into a very grown up little boy who is sociable and confident. The team (across all rooms) have been incredibly supportive in his development and I don't really have a bad word to say. My youngest is now receiving the same great care in the caterpillars room and I am starting to see him progress in a similar manner.

Overall Experience

My child has been attending this nursery Green Park Reading since the age of 10 months. He is now three years old. The time and effort put into his development has been exceptional, he will always come home learning new things and he has felt so comfortable with all the staff members, I honestly don't think he's ever had a bad day. Green Park nursery has been flawless and cannot thank them enough.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has a wonderful time at Green Park Day Nursery - it's a rich learning experience filled with a great mix of daily activities. Every nursery worker is friendly, helpful and skilled, giving us great reassurance that we are leaving her in safe hands. The extra-curricular activities are great and we really appreciate the opportunities to socialise with other parents. And they manage to get her to eat vegetables and oily fish - a feat we struggle with at home!

Overall Experience

Green Park Day Nursery has been the perfect starting place for our son, warm, welcoming and full of care! The staff are truly fantastic, everyone has been so kind and attentive particularly towards our shy son. It's clear the staff are passionate about what they do! They've created a very nurturing environment that has allowed our little one to grow and develop into a confident & curious child. The communication updates are always great, we feel informed on what has happened during his day and we always feel reassured that he's in safe hands! To the management - Please continue to invest to refresh some equipment for the classes.

Review from Andre Z (Father of Child) published on 15 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with Green Park Day Nursery! Our son has been attending since April 2024, when he was just 7 to 8 months old, and it's been a fantastic journey ever since. He absolutely loves being there, and it's heartwarming to see how much he has developed in such a short time.
The teachers and staff are simply brilliant-so caring and attentive. Our son adores them, and it's clear they genuinely enjoy what they do. He eats well, sleeps soundly, and comes home with a big smile on his face every day!
We also appreciate how quickly our questions and requests are answered. It really makes a difference knowing we can easily communicate with the team.

Overall, we feel incredibly lucky to have found such a nurturing environment for our little one. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a loving and supportive nursery!

Review from J M (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Green Park Nursery has been an incredible place for my son, who started there at 1 and is now 2.
The staff are amazing - warm, supportive, and genuinely caring. They've helped him so much with his speech development, and it's been wonderful to see how confidently he's now expressing himself. He's learned so many new skills, from socialising and sharing to songs, numbers, and colours.

The facilities are excellent - clean, safe, and full of engaging activities that keep him excited to go in every day. I also really appreciate the regular, detailed feedback from the team. It's reassuring to know how he's getting on and what he's enjoying. I truly feel he's thriving at Green Park, and we're so happy to be part of this nursery.

The staff in the caterpillars room have been really helpful and amazing with settling my daughter in. They are all very welcoming when I come to pick her up and I always have positive feedback about her day. Her key worker has been especially helpful with settling her into nursery and making sure all her needs are always met. She always comes home clean and happy and she has a good bond with her keyworker.

Review from Tianna J (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter spent time at Green Park Nursery from 10 months old and absolutely loved it. As soon as we'd enter the doors she would start to smile and wave her legs. The staff are fabulous and I couldn't recommend highly enough. They were very patient with her and took the time to know her likes, dislikes and habits and tailored her day around her. They always gave me a full update on everything she was up to, how much she ate, slept etc which showed how much they paid attention. She developed so much in a short space of time. We had to leave because we moved out of town and the nursery sent a handover document to her new nursery which helped her settle in there too. I'd highly recommend.

My daughter is due to leave Green Park Nursery in August, after nearly 4 years. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time in Green Park Nursery and has met (in some cases exceeded) all her development milestones, thanks to the amazing staff at this nursery. She was very well supported through a difficult phase in her life and I cannot thank the nursery management and staff for this.

I cannot recommend Green Park Day Nursery enough.
