Review from E T (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been in River View Nursery from the age of 1 year old. Now he's almost 4 and starting school in September. From beginning to the end we had an amazing experience with the nursery. He's always having so much fun and learning so much, I wouldn't ever be able to teach him all of this at home. The staff are so friendly and competent. We know already that we will miss the nursery dearly once the school starts.

Both of our children attended Riverview, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The team is exceptional, and the facilities, including the building and gardens, are outstanding. We would highly recommend Riverview to other families.

Overall Experience

We have been so happy with our son's experience at River View . Leanne and the pre-school staff are warm, welcoming and supportive of both the parents and the children. Communication between the nursery and parents has been amazing, and the app is really helpful in keeping us informed. The facilities are clean, modern and they always seem to be adding to their collection of toys and books. Activities are wide ranging and the garden with its outdoor play equipment is hard to beat.

Overall Experience

I was really nervous about returning to work and putting my little one into nursery, but Riverview has been amazing. The staff are so caring and reassuring, which made the transition much easier for both of us. My child settled in quickly and is genuinely happy there, which means everything. We love all of the updates we receive when he is there - highly recommend!

Review from Emily W (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are so pleased we chose River View for our son. Since joining, he has developed enormously in both confidence and skills. The environment is ideal for learning, and the team consistently encourages him to try new things and build new abilities.
He settled in very quickly, thanks to the care and support of the team, who made sure both he and I felt comfortable and reassured during the transition into a new environment. I also really value that they spend time outdoors every day, weather permitting.
The food provided is varied and nutritious, which we greatly appreciate. Most of all, the staff are fantastic. Everyone we interact with at River View is warm and friendly, and it's clear they take the time to know every child by name, regardless of their role within the nursery.

We are especially pleased with his key worker, who regularly shares updates on his development and daily experiences. She is kind, caring, and has helped make nursery a happy, safe place for our son.

Overall Experience

Riverview have been outstanding with my 23 month old, I was very nervous about the transition to nursery but I was instantly put at ease. The staff are welcoming, friendly and professional, and my son has formed wonderful relationships with all the staff in his room. His skills and confidence have come on leaps and bounds and im so pleased with his progress since starting. Im so grateful for everything they have done and its lovely to recieve regular updates with photos and skills achieved regularly. Riverview was definitely the best choice for us, especially with the amazing outdoor area that the children get to spend lots of time in exploring.

Overall Experience

River View Nursery has been truly exceptional for our family. Both of our children have attended, and from day one we've felt such warmth, care, and dedication from everyone. The team create a nurturing, joyful environment where children flourish. The support for our youngest daughter during her surgery was outstanding - the staff went above and beyond to ensure she felt safe and cared for. We also experienced the same professionalism and calm when our son began choking on a raspberry. The staff's quick response and open communication gave us total confidence in their care. The management are fantastic - approachable, understanding, and always quick to respond. Every member of staff greets the children with genuine smiles and kindness. It has been an absolute pleasure to send our children to River View, and we feel so privileged to have given them such a wonderful start in such a caring and happy setting.

Overall Experience

Our daughter is having a fantastic time at River View - the staff are attentive to her needs and she is much more capable than we give her credit for due to the safe space they create for her to test her limits and the confidence she's developed. The staff are also supportive to developing parents - a safe space to ask questions without judgement.

Overall Experience

River view has always provided excellent care for both my boys, my eldest who left this year to start reception, and my 1 year old who is currently in Ladybirds. The staff are all really attentive and warm and very competent, and always open to feedback or requests from parents. The food my boys get given is great too - often it appears they eat better than their parents!

Review from Daisy A (Mother of Child) published on 10 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The team at Riverview have welcomed our family with open arms.
The time the team have taken to bond and and get to know my little boy has been best in class and I am delighted that he gets to spend time at Riverview 3 times a week. He plays with different toys and takes part in different activities and his 'favourite' pastimes have been highlighted and encouraged by the team.

I cannot think of a better place for my little boy to develop and grow. Thank you for being so nurturing.

Review from Toni I (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We absolutely love Riverview nursery. Our son started in Ladybirds in August. I can not speak highly enough of the staff and facilities. Initially drop offs were emotional, but the staff were so welcoming and ready to help settle our son in. They sent photo updates with in minutes of us leaving to help reassure us. Now our son waves us off when we leave. The transition from maternity leave to work can be a lot but knowing our son is having fun, learning and eating healthy, exciting food made it a lot easier. I especially appreciate the amount of time the children spend playing outside. We feel very lucky to have found such an incredible nursery.

We have been so pleased with how Riverview look after our little boy. Their gradual settling in process was reassuring for both us and our son, and all the staff got to know him really well straight away. Instantly they clocked his favourite toys and things to do, and I get such lovely feedback from multiple members of staff whenever I collect him about how he's getting on.

River View have been nothing short of of incredible for both of my children. My daughter has anxiety and struggled with transition but the key workers were so supportive and always listen when I had concerns. My son also has a life long rare medical condition and they have researched, listened, taken note, everything I could ever ask for to help support him in the way that suits his condition. I really could recommend anymore.
