Review from Katie B (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 excellent and clearly love what they do. The pre-school has been amazing for preparing my son for starting school so far, and in particular the forest school has really sparked the children’s imagination.

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.

Review from Coleen S (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 knowledgeable, friendly and have the children’s best interests at heart. Our daughter struggled initially with her new routine and naturally this tugged at our heart strings. The staff were empathetic, took time to reassure us and went above and beyond to help her to settle. Our daughter is now really happy at nursery and is so excited to go. She has a great relationship with all of the adults.

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Kellie M (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 in, and that’s thanks to the staff.

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.

Review from Sophie T (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 learning about his day. He is a lot happier now, and he seems to be developing skills more rapidly. He is more talkative, and a lot more sociable too. He eats very well while at nursery, even better than when at home with us.

We love Green Park Day Nursery, the setup but the staff, especially who take such good care of our little one!

Review from Fiona T (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review from Ashwini R (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 online updates of my son with photos, and a general comment on what activities he was involved with.
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 thrive.
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!

Overall Experience

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 experience with Green Park.

Review from Lazar C (Father of Child) published on 23 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We moved to the UK 2 years ago.
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.

Review from Bob Y (Father of Child) published on 3 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 double portions most days.
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.

Review from Matthew H (Father of Child) published on 3 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We selected Green Park as the nursery for my daughter as it was convenient for travel to/from work. We moved at the end of 2019 and decided to keep her at Green Park (despite the fact it is now the wrong direction for the journey to work) because of the outstanding experience she has had at the nursery. My daughter will be leaving in September to start school and will be genuinely sad to leave her friends and staff. The staff have been excellent throughout the whole of her time at the nursery, and we could not be happier with the care she had received. The staff have fantastic relationships with the children. We have been equally impressed with how the nursery has dealt with the pandemic this year, clear communication throughout the last few months with safety at the heart of what they were doing.

We would highly recommend Green Park to any families looking for a nursery for their child.

Review from Georgios K (Father of Child) published on 28 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were surprised and happy at how our son quickly settled during his first month at the nursery despite the lack of previous socialising due to Covid. The whole team in the ladybirds room were fantastic and always there for answering our queries and meeting any special needs. Special thanks to the manager as well who was always there for us in constantly changing situations. We are looking forward to him starting again in September.

Our child has been at Greenpark Nursery for a year now (she was nine months when she started). We have been extremely impressed with the standard of care and attention from all members of staff. She has been very confident from the beginning and the staff have reassured us throughout. We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery.

Green Park Nursery always put the children first. The staff are very well organised and, during a difficult time, have retained their ability to provide a happy, safe and fun environment for all the children. Their communication with parents is excellent and we are always kept in the loop with how our daughter is doing. Most of all, we would recommend this nursery because our child has been so happy here and she’s always excited to go. Thank you to all for working so hard.

My little one loves nursery and to be honest all the ladies in Green Park. She feels happy and content with herself and it is so nice to see. I think all the ladies in Green Park that have looked over her since she has been there have been outstanding, and we couldn’t say thank you enough.

I am extremely grateful to Green Park Nursery and I am very impressed with the way you have and are handling the situation during this unprecedented time. Our daughter loves to come and has made great progress in a few months. All the staff have been very professional and creative to keep the little ones entertained (e.g. home cinema, music festival). At no time has my daughter felt anxious or worried about the current situation but stayed happy, confident and delighted to come to the nursery.

This is a very good nursery. The open plan layout is brilliant, gives the young ones an insight into what they will move into.
The staff are the best, they are really professional and very carrying. My daughter loves going, she especially loves the gardens there and the ability to roam around within her class.

If you are thinking of sending your child to nursery you will be hard pushed to do better than here.
