The Parade Day Nursery - Abington

My youngest son has been attending for the past two years and previous to that his elder brother was there for four years. I can still remember the original search for a nursery, somewhere I would feel happy and comfortable to leave my baby, and as soon as we stepped foot in The Parade Day Nursery I just had the feeling that this was the right place. The staff were wonderful, the other children all seemed happy and well cared for. I can say after 6 years my instincts were right! Both my boys love it here!

My daughter was at The Parade for 3 years and now my son is here. Both started at 10 months, what a fantastic place, my children love going to nursery, all members of staff ( I say staff are more like family) are great easy to talk to, nothing is too much trouble. Very friendly, approachable but also very professional. My daughter still talks of nursery and she left a year ago! A great place for the children.

My daughter has been going to the Parade since she was about 14-months old, and is now four and a half. She has always loved nursery, and I believe this is due to the fantastic staff and the wide range of activities the children take part in. Before COVID-19, the children would regularly go to the library and visit the local park and care home. I love the app and look forward to seeing what activities the children have enjoyed. My daughter really loved the weekly swimming sessions at the local pool too. She’s coming up to her last weeks at the nursery before she starts school, and will be sad to leave as she really loves all the staff and friends she has made! I feel The Parade has really helped prepare her for school. Thank you to all the amazing team at the Parade!

I'm so happy with the nursery, I highly recommend it to anyone. The staff are all wonderful and the care they provide is outstanding. My daughter has been there for the last year and she really enjoys it. It's great seeing the daily updates and seeing her enjoying the activities.

Never had any issues with the nursery and would recommend to everyone.

Thank you to all the teachers for helping my children to grow.

The staff at the nursery are exceptional. Our daughter has attended since she was ten months old and this year has moved into her final year. The activities she has accessed this year have been brilliant; for example, my daughter goes swimming, to the park for tea on occasions and has been to a local nursing home to visit residents. The staff are great at keeping us updated via the app. They are extremely caring with our daughter and make learning fun in creative ways. Our daughter had some difficulties with food and they have been so accommodating and supportive. The manager always has time for parents too and seems to know the children so well. I cannot thank the nursery enough for how secure and happy they continue to make our daughter feel when she attends.

The team at The Parade have been great helping to settle my daughter into nursery and providing regular updates on her progress and activities. The digital, daily diary is brilliant to see what fun they have had. The meals all sound delicious and my daughter clearly enjoys them, always finishing every meal and snack!

My daughter has been attending The Parade since she was 11 months old and is now 4. She absolutely loves it there and the staff really look after the children well and she has thrived there. My daughter is excelling in every area and has become a really confident, outgoing and intelligent individual.

Our daughter settled into The Parade quickly and really enjoys her time there. The staff and manager are fantastic - extremely supportive and approachable. We receive updates via an app throughout the day which is reassuring. The activities offered are brilliant, our daughter has started swimming recently and there are always trips to the park, library and other settings offering variety. We couldn't be happier with our choice, our daughter has learnt so much and we feel she is being given a great platform to start school confidently.

My daughter has been going 2 days per week since I returned to work in March. The staff at The Parade are caring, trustworthy and welcoming, which reassures me that my daughter is safe and well looked after. She settled quickly forming a strong bond with her key worker and now has a great relationship with all the staff. She is offered a range of activities to promote her development. We are given daily updates on her progress. I would recommend the nursery.

My son started at The Parade a few months ago and has settled in beautifully thanks to the amazing staff. They have also been accommodating with my request for an increase in his hours. Can’t fault the nursery, staff and manager. Also, love the system they use to send regular updates and photos with what he is getting up to!

The facilities at The Parade are great, it's a large 4 story Victorian terraced house with childproofed everything. Being opposite Abington park means the children get ample exposure to the outdoors. The parking is awful but the staff make the place the best.

My son has only been there for a year but he has developed so much during his time at The Parade, my only regret is that he didn’t start there sooner. The staff in the Playful Mice room are second to none, as is the manager. The children have such fantastic opportunities, they always go to the park, have weekly swimming, regular visits to a residential home and often go to the local library, they also have Forest school in the summer. They’ve done cooking and lots of art projects as well as playing in the garden including messy play, they have French lessons and rhyme time and even supervised teeth brushing. I honestly cannot rate them highly enough and would recommend them to anyone. A particular highlight for me was the nativity play, and I’m very sorry to have missed sports due to being on holiday. My son has made some really lovely friends at nursery, many of whom we see for playdates and some who will accompany him to the same school.

My daughter has been at The Parade Day Nursery since December 2017 and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and environment. Our daughter loves going and will remain there until she starts school now.

I feel my son is well looked after and loved by the staff. They know him very well and are happy to work with parents to keep routines and resolve any issues as you would at home.

Excellent nursery, fantastic team of staff, I would highly reccomend.

Our child has had the most amazing experience at The Parade. We have seen him grow into a more sociable and more confident child over the time he has been there. That is largely down to the fantastic team who provide individualised support for every child and keep parents updated more regularly than other local nurseries do via the online app. Due to this, I am able to effectively support at home too. There is a wide range of activities on offer including enrichment off-site. I highly recommend The Parade.

My little girl has been attending this nursery from 10 months old. She has come on in leaps and bounds since being here. The staff here are amazing with my daughter and feel like I can talk to them about any concerns and take into consideration what I would like her to focus on in progression. She has never had any issues there and always comes home so happy. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

I am so pleased I chose The Parade Day Nursery for my daughter.
