Overall Experience

My son has been looked after by three lovely people. I was extremely happy that he had the right care by his key workers they were lovely and friendly. He is learning a lot of words and a happy baby in nursery. Thanks for all the ongoing activities and support to all.

Overall Experience
My daughter started Pre School in January 2019 and I am extremely impressed with her progress with both her learning and behaviour.
She has developed an amazing relationship with her key worker. She is always happy when I pick her up, has made friends with lots of children and generally fitted in well all-round.

The staff are all very friendly and make an effort to say hello and goodbye as you enter the building. I also get feedback daily in regards to her day which is always nice to hear. I would highly recommend Green Park Nursery to other parents.

Review from Jenny D (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started nursery at the beginning of this year and to say I was nervous was an understatement. My daughter is an ex-premature baby so I think I worry a little more than most about her health and wellbeing as she has a few minor lasting issues but the staff have been fabulous reassuring me and giving me updates. My daughter has taken to 2 particular staff members and it's lovely to see her get comforting cuddles from them when she first arrives. Although she is still a bit nervous she doesn't stop telling me how much fun she has had each day and it sounds like the activities she engages in are excellent

Thank you guys you are doing a fab job.

Overall Experience
I'm very happy with this nursery. The staff are very nice and professional. My son loves going there. The learning and activities are also appropriate to his age.
I'm impressed as he knows how to count from 1 to 10 and he knows the ABC song and he's only 2 years old.

I would recommend this nursery without any reserve.

Review from Matthew D (Father of Child) published on 22 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can't recommend this nursery enough. The staff that work there are amazing. My son is an only child and hasn't had many interactions with children of his age until he came to Green Park Nursery so it was a bit daunting for him and worrying for us. In his time here, the staff have gained his trust quickly and helped him massively and improved his social skills so much. After each day, they give me a round up of what he has done that day, whether it be a good or bad thing, including if he's slept and what he has eaten, these minute details are extremely important to my wife and I. He used to cry loudly when I dropped him off but now he happily latches onto one of the workers and always leaves a happy child and I can't thank them all enough for the work they have done with him. The standards are high and the improvements to my son's character are immeasurably. The only problem I see is that soup is a regular on the menu and my son doesn't like it, but he enjoys his bread rolls.

Overall Experience

I have been so impressed with my son's settling in to Green Park. The staff have been very helpful with all aspects, took time to explain the funding process and are patient and understanding with my son's speech delay, incorporating and supporting the strategies. In addition, they are all very friendly and welcoming.

Review from Gavin O (Father of Child) published on 4 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My wife and I are very happy with how well our daughter is doing at Green Park Day Nursery. She has been attending now for 1 year and loved every minute of it. We are very lucky that she has formed such a strong bond with her lead carer, who moved up with her from Caterpillars to Ladybirds which made for a smooth transition, so much so that she runs into her arms every morning without even waving goodbye to her mum or I. Not only does she have a strong bond with her lead carer, but also the other teachers in her class who I cannot speak highly enough of.

Review from Kelly M (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter who is in caterpillars started in July of this year at 9 months old. She settled in amazingly well and so quickly too. Her original key worker left after 3 weeks which I was disappointed in but was soon to be replaced by who I can only describe now as her “best friend”. My daughter absolutely adores her and is so delighted to see her each morning. They have a lovely relationship which shows in her diary of events on Parent Zone. The updates are fantastic to see and how detailed they are written. The descriptions show how much attention to detail they pay and how much fun they have at the same time. My daughter loves all the sensory areas they have in the room and enjoys cruising around their newly refurbished garden. The staff are very attentive and really take the time to get to know each child’s individual needs and dislikes. My daughter's secondary key worker is also fantastic and spends a lot of time with her which is very reassuring if her key worker is off.

Review from Vikas H (Father of Child) published on 25 June 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A nice and friendly nursery where children are taken good care of. It can be a bit more structured though and pre-school children can be taught specific subjects with a bit more discipline.

Reply from Mandy Cooper, at Green Park Day Nursery (Reading)

Thank you for your feedback. Our child led planning system works with children’s interests and their next steps in learning. Structured and planned teaching takes place at key points in the day, and free play is offered through enabling environments that support all aspects of learning and development. Our golden values allow staff to embed positive behaviour at an age-appropriate level.

Overall the nursery is good.
Most of the staff are great, with child and parent.

Sometimes there is miscommunication in handovers and a lack of consistency.

Reply from Mandy Cooper, Green Park Day Nursery (Reading) at Green Park Day Nursery (Reading)

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you feel that your handover feedback has not been consistent, we will ensure that we continue to focus on communication with our staff for our families.

Overall Experience
My daughter started at this nursery when she was almost 7 months old and she is now 20 months. I am so happy I have chosen this day nursery.
It has a quality infrastructure (each room has its own garden), good meals and snack during the day. My daughter is always happy every time I come to pick her.
The staff are always helpful and caring.

For me it is a day nursery of excellence.

Our son joined the nursery just before he turned 4 yrs. He settled in very quickly, having just moved from another nursery.

He seems happy and the staff plan a lot of activities to keep children engaged. The staff and management are both good and attentive.

An outstanding nursery that helps my child with all of his developmental needs and the support required. My child arrives happy and leaves even happier. The nursery’s online platform keeps me regularly updated with all of my son's milestones and developmental achievements. I couldn’t be happier with Green Park.
