Overall Experience

My daughter joined the Green Park Day Nursery in January 2021 and she loves it! She is excited and happy when she sees her carers. We can tell she has fantastic care and enjoy her nursery! The staff is lovely and caring! There is plenty of various activities, which is what is needed. Great communication with the staff but also with the management.

Overall Experience

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 thrives on learning and has been so stimulated. He is so happy and often runs off at drop off he is so happy to see his teacher and friends.

I would highly recommend Green Park Nursery to any parent.

Review from Daniel T (Father of Child) published on 5 February 2021 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

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 can’t see him in that environment at all at the moment, sadly.
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.

Review from Claire S (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2021 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

My second child is now attending this nursery despite moving my workplace further away.
I felt that I would not be able to match the excellent care and education offered by all the staff at Green Park Day Nursery so decided not to move my daughter.
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.

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.

Review from Jade T (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2020 Submitted via Website•

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.

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.
