About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My daughter has attended the nursery for just over a year now and is about to move up into Bumblebees. From the day she started all staff we have met have been so friendly and helpful, putting us at ease during the early days of her starting and especially through a global pandemic. Staff really take the time to develop positive relationships with the children and my daughter always has such fun. I frequently have reports about her development and all staff are excellent at working towards her meeting key development stages. The procedures that have been put in place during the pandemic are communicated effectively to parents and are very reassuring at such an uncertain time. Whenever I have a question on any matter staff are so quick at getting back to me. They are also extremely accommodating should the need arise for an extra session, this has been greatly appreciated. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Green Park Day nursery for all your hard work and positivity.

My little boy has been so happy at Green Park Nursery. The staff are caring and keep open lines of communication with parents at all times regarding daily activities. My child has been attending Green Park Nursery since November 2020 and has really enjoyed every single day. He is 2 years old and...
I would highly recommend Green Park Nursery to any parent.
Our wee man is very happy at Green Park. He’s so excited to leave the house in the morning, goes into nursery with a smile on his face and comes out with a smile on his face, which is wonderful. The daily messages and photos from his day are something we look forward to seeing, especially as we...
The staff have been really amenable to discussing any concerns we’ve had with various arrangements, such as managing nappy rash or sleeping patterns, which has been very helpful.
Communication on Covid arrangements have been clear and timely, and we get a strong sense of a well-run nursery.
Keep going, you’re doing a really important job to help develop lovely young ones.
Thanks and stay safe.
We have had wonderful support from this nursery since emigrating to the UK. All the staff are so wonderful and warm. Our son has settled in so amazingly and it’s due to the fact that this place genuinely loves what they do and children.

The staff are all friendly and approachable and the nursery has been amazing in its efforts during this pandemic to keep all the staff and children safe, whilst still maintaining a high level of care/education.
They have strived and achieved in providing excellent communication to parents even though we are unable to enter the building due to Covid restrictions.
Thanks to all the staff for their hard work and dedication during what has been a difficult year.
My son has attended Green Park Day Nursery since he was 9 months old. He is now 3.5 and in the pre-school room. This nursery has been outstanding throughout this time. I always feel extremely confident that my son is happy, having a lot of fun and learning new things all of the time. The staff are...
I wanted to highlight what an excellent job all of the nursery staff have done to bring happiness and normality to the children in what have been very difficult circumstances this year and last year. The communication to parents and the activities put on for the children has been outstanding. Thank you.
We can’t recommend Green Park Day Nursery enough. Our daughter started just before her second birthday and we hadn’t used formal childcare before. Starting a new setting in the middle of a pandemic was a concern for us as parents but we needn’t have been worried. The staff at Green Park are...
There is a great range of activities and resources and we have noticed progress in all areas of her development. There is a wide-ranging, healthy menu with snacks provided throughout the day.
My daughter has been coming here for a little while now and loves it. She has bonded well with the staff and smiles when she sees them at drop-off. It's great to see updates in pictures and what has happened regarding meals etc.

My son has attended this nursery from the age of 10-months, he is soon turning three, and I can’t recommend the nursery enough.

My son has attended this nursery from the age of 10-months, he is soon turning three, and I can’t recommend the nursery enough. My son has come on leaps and bounds and grown in so many ways from the nursery. The staff are amazing and so helpful, they go out of their way to help you and the child in every situation. Their extra supportive in all aspects. My son is in the process of an autism diagnosis, and they tend to his needs brilliantly, and their help and support have been out of this world not just for my son but also as a parent! I can’t thank them enough! Amazing nursery, amazing staff! 10/10!
My son was very shy from being isolated for a long period of time, he wouldn’t want anyone but me, but since going to nursery, he has built a great bond with the staff and smiles when he sees them at the door to collect him. He loves going to nursery. I am so pleased with how well he has settled...
I really enjoy reading about his day, what he has enjoyed doing, when I read it, I feel included in his day. Most of all, I enjoy how happy he is when I collect him, babbling away trying to tell me everything he has done.
Since going back to nursery after a few months of lockdown, my husband and I feel that our son is progressing day by day, being very chatty on the way home, and telling us all about his wonderful nursery adventures. We read the reports on the portal very thoroughly after each day, and we love...
We love Green Park Day Nursery, the setup but the staff, especially who take such good care of our little one!
My little boy is 11.5 months and started at Green Park a few weeks ago. We were worried about how he would settle in having only spent time with us because of Covid, but the team have been great. They talked to us at lengths about his usual routines, and we worked out a schedule for the first few...
My little boy is 11.5 months and started at Green Park a few weeks ago. We were worried about how he would settle in having only spent time with us because of Covid, but the team have been great. They talked to us at lengths about his usual routines, and we worked out a schedule for the first few weeks to gradually increase from a couple of hours to full days. He is eating and sleeping well, and we can see a difference in his development now that he has the opportunity to interact with other babies! The staff clearly communicate well with each other because they are knowledgeable about his likes/dislikes and schedule at drop off and pick up, as well as providing detailed information every day via an app. We are very pleased with everything, and he is clearly having fun!
My son has been going to this nursery for about a month now. He has settled well, many thanks to the staff. He requires special needs and the staff along with the SENCO team are working very well to cater to his needs, thereby helping him learn and develop in his own pace. I love to see the daily...
The staff are adhering to strict protocols due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation, also involving safe handing over and collection of children.
I highly recommend Green Park Day Nursery.
My daughter is always happy to go to nursery at Green Park. The staff are excellent, very kind, and obviously, really get to know the children in their care. I was nervous to leave my daughter at nursery at first, but now, I have no concerns as I am confident she is being well very well looked...
My daughter is always happy to go to nursery at Green Park. The staff are excellent, very kind, and obviously, really get to know the children in their care. I was nervous to leave my daughter at nursery at first, but now, I have no concerns as I am confident she is being well very well looked after by a genuinely lovely and professional team.
I was anxious about my son starting nursery as he has never been looked after by anyone except my parents, husband or myself. The nursery has been absolutely fantastic at putting me at ease. I trust all of the staff to look after my child and to provide a fun environment in which he can...
Furthermore, the staff have gone above and beyond to help with dealing with the complex dietary requirements my son has, due to multiple food allergies. All members of the team are friendly, professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with. When I have sent queries via email, replies from the nursery have been extremely prompt and have provided all the information I needed.
I would recommend this nursery to friends, family and for any parents who feel concerned about leaving their child at nursery for the 1st time (in other words all parents!). Your child will be in great hands!
My lovely niece has been at Green Park Day Nursery for a couple of months now, and she loves it. She has developed so quickly and learn to say some single words at 10-months-old. When I collect her, everyone is so friendly and love to discuss my nieces time at nursery. Such a brilliant nursery...

He is 2 and a half now, and we are not even considering changing nursery.

We signed up our then 9 month son to the Green Park nursery, as they accepted us straight away, and it very convenient as it is close to work and gym.
He is 2 and a half now, and we are not even considering changing nursery.
We have been happy with it overall and we have been recommending it or colleagues and friends.
Personally, we don't have any other experience with other nurseries, but what we hear from other people, we think this is an expectant place for your little ones.
Again, highly recommended.
My daughter has been attending Green Park Nursery for nearly a year now, she has developed wonderfully since then thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff there. There are multiple activities every day to keep her entertained and I read with joy that she enjoys the food so much she eats...
During the lockdown, the nursery stayed open and provided a full service for keyworkers like myself which took a huge burden off my shoulders and for that I am so very grateful.
Cost each month is in the upper range locally, but what my daughter receives is incredibly good value for money. Overall an excellent nursery.
