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 wife and I have been delighted with how well the staff at Green Park look after our son. The care is evident, well organised, great social areas both indoors and outdoors, creative activities to engage the little ones and a refreshingly healthy and interesting menu.

The first two weeks in the nursery were difficult for my son due to change of environment, like many other babies. The nursery manager decided to put him back on settle-in sessions to help him adapt better. It was a very smart suggestion and he is much happier now.

Fantastic nursery! My daughter started going to this nursery when she was 15 months. She was very unsettled initially but the staff very helpful in ensuring that she settled in happily, giving me such a peace of mind. She is now 2.5 years and over this time she has grown into a confident child and has made friends in there. The staff are very welcoming and keeps us updated on the child's progress regularly through the app as well as with personal updates. The nursery itself is very clean, well lit with an open plan, separate sleeping areas and beautiful gardens for each age group. The food is well balanced and freshly prepared. I will never look for another nursery for my daughter. I can see that she is so happy in there and learning a lot. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Only criticism is not being made aware in advance of any non-exclusion but contagious illness until the morning of arrival. I would like to know in advance so I can decide and plan if he attends.
Very caring, nurturing staff. Also well resourced and warm, welcoming environment. All staff are friendly and knowledgeable of what they are doing.

No one was usually available to give handover at the pick up.
Concerns were not addressed properly. Rather than doing some purposeful good learning activities, most of the time kids watch some cartoon story (not educational ) on the projector screen. I raised it to the key worker who said kids only watch it for an hour, that too late in the afternoon (which was not the case as my little one told me how frequently she watches cartoon films on the projector).
In a nutshell, my experience was not good at this place.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about our nursery.We are saddened to read your comments and not to have had the opportunity to resolve your concerns. Our security process is fully compliant with Ofsted and our door access system ensures that only authorised personnel are able to enter our nursery and we run a strict regime for collection authorisation.
The use of the smartboard, and the software content, both form part of the Early Years Foundation Stage and support children’s knowledge and learning of ICT, Maths and English.
Again, we are sorry that you have not been happy with our service and should you wish to contact us to discuss this further we would welcome this.

I have had 2 of my kids attend this nursery and it has been a very good decision. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Anytime you call or go to see them they are always ready and happy to assist with whatever queries or request. The environment has a positive vibe to it. The children always look happy and yes they do learn loads there. Play areas for the little ones are neat, bright and spacious as well as colourful. Will definitely recommend to friends.
My little one has loved nursery and especially his care worker who is fantastic with putting my little one at ease. Every day it is lovely to hear what he has been up to. I would like to have things to take home, however, such as artwork when they have been doing painting (he may be too young for...
The staff are fantastic, and very welcoming and make sure every question you have is answered and they are very proactive. I have already recommended this nursery to a friend whose child also loves it. The toys are lovely at the nursery and always kept in a good condition.
My daughter has settled really well after a rocky start. She has a good bond with the staff, especially her key person. The observations are lovely to read.

My son has been at Green Park Day Nursery full time since he was 10 months old; he is now 4. My son has adored the nursery, they are very creative and keep the children safe and entertained! The staff there have done a great job of moulding my son into a polite, caring and sensible little boy. He...
The nursery has a family feel, I can honestly say, I trust the staff at Green Park Day Nursery wholeheartedly. As with all places, there are a few minor improvements that could be made:
Toilets can get quite messy and isn't always cleaned quickly.
Sometimes there is too many temp staff on duty, and children aren't cared for as well. (The full-time staff treat the children like their own, temp just do their job)
They can't discipline the children, so occasionally this leads to a wild child causing havoc for the other children.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend Green Park Day Nursery to anyone thinking of joining, my son has truly enjoyed his time there and we are sad to say bye!
Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you have had such a positive experience with us over the last 3 years.

Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you have had such a positive experience with us over the last 3 years.
Your suggestions for improvement are greatly welcomed. Our children’s toilet is a busy room and we appreciate it can get a bit messy at times. We are currently recruiting for a domestic assistant to help with the ongoing cleaning of the whole nursery during the day to ensure our practitioners can focus on the learning and education of our children. Our cleaners will then thoroughly clean the nursery overnight ready for the next day.
At times we do use relief staff to support the core team to cover staff holidays or absence. Whilst we know how important relationships are with staff and children we try to use the same relief staff to provide a level of consistency within the nursery.
Our Golden Values are used to support children’s behaviour through a positive reinforcement method and all of our staff undertake behaviour management training. We also work closely with parents to ensure every child has consistency between nursery and home.
Green Park have been amazing settling my 2 children into nursery. They both love it! Really great activities for my 5-month-old and 3-year-old. They are meeting all of our needs every day. A big thank you!

Over the past 3 years, both of my sons have attended Green Park Day Nursery. From caterpillars to preschool we were very pleased with the staff, food and most importantly the care they gave. Nothing is perfect and when we did have an issue with potty training in preschool I was pleased that on making a formal complaint the issue was addressed immediately. I would highly recommend Green Park Day Nursery to my friends and family.
My two children are attending the nursery. They both adapted quickly and love it there. The staff very helpful and kind. I see great improvement in my children's development. The nursery is clean and pleasant. The only downside is slightly high fees but I still think it is worth it.
