Amazing nursery! Nursery times has been a part of our family for over 10 years, from my eldest who is now 11 and my youngest who is 3! Staff are amazing, informative, supportive and overall just the best bunch about. Although I have been on along journey here the professionalism has never expired. I'm
always kept up to date and most of all feel that my child is safe and happy attending. I love that it's mostly the same staff throughout these years. Highly recommend the management team and all the staff that work here, doing a great job!

Nursery Times at the Park and all the staff are absolutely brilliant. My son is nonverbal autistic so finding a nursery we trust 100% with our child was obviously extremely important and i honestly think we couldn't have found a better place for him. The staff bend over backwards for him and us to make
sure he's always happy. Definitely the best staff and nursery can't recommend enough

Both my children have attended Nursery Times at the Park from a young age and have thrived. All staff have taken time to get to know my children on an individual basis and have nurturing attitudes towards them. Fun, engaging and relevant activities are always used and it is clear that children's developmental
needs are considered in planning. Communication through the app and Learning Journals is excellent and a great way to be informed of my children's days. Management are excellent at communication and always welcome you in a friendly manner.

Our son has been attending the nursery for the last 9 months and has moved up a room during this time. Staff in both of these rooms have always been very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They, alongside management, genuinely care about his welfare, happiness and development. Our little one loves
being there and we can't think of anywhere better for him.

My son has been attending Nursery Times at the Park for the last 2 years and from the start to now we have loved the nursery and the staff. I always recommend the nursery to other parents looking for nurseries in the area. The staff are really the core reason that the nursery is so impressive. From
the ladies in the room right up to management, everyone is always friendly and approachable and I have never had any doubt that they take care of my child to a very high standard. My son has loved all 3 rooms that he's been in and is always very sad to leave his ladies who he's formed fantastic relationships with but then settles quickly in his new room. I'm part of the parents council and am grateful for the input the nursery welcomes from parents. They always take ideas and comments on board. I love the daily updates on the app, learning journal and then in person at pick up. I will continue to recommend this nursery as it really is a fantastic place for kids learn and be cared for.

Nursery Times at the Park has been exceptional for my child. It has brought her on leaps and bounds and I'm proud of how much she has learned. Couldn't thank the teachers enough as each and every one of them are fantastic with the kids and have got to know them and develop a great relationship with
the kids. The best nursery in Lanarkshire by far and I'll be sad to see my child leave.

Our daughter Rhea has attended Nursery Times at the Park for the past two years, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed and reassured, showing genuine care and dedication to every child.


The meals provided are excellent-nutritious,

varied, and always thoughtfully prepared. The range of activities keeps the children engaged, happy, and constantly learning, and we've loved seeing our daughter grow in confidence and creativity thanks to the wonderful curriculum.


The nursery is always spotless and well-organized, and the staff consistently go above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing environment. Their attention to detail and the individual needs of each child truly sets them apart.


We wholeheartedly recommend Nursery Times at the Park to any parent looking for a caring and high-quality early years setting. It's been a fantastic start to our daughter's educational journey.

My child has been attending this nursery since she was 11 months old. The care and attention to detail provided by the staff have been exceptional. It truly feels like a little family, where every child is valued, loved, and cared for. My child has thrived in their care, and we're so grateful for the
nurturing environment. We especially love the updates and pictures throughout the day. Additionally, the attention to detail in preparing them for school has been impressive. And the outdoor space is fantastic - it's clear how much thought has gone into creating a fun and engaging environment for the kids to explore and play. All the staff are approachable, and we feel confident discussing any issues with them - they've always been really supportive and professional. Highly recommend to any family looking for a great nursery!

My boy has been going here since he was 10/11months old. He's now just over 2.
He has loved every minute of it. Staff are ALL knowledgeable, well trained and honestly friendly and welcoming to all who come in. Including management. I've never had any faults at all with nursery. They've went above and
beyond their duty of care with my child in particular and always so happy to help in anyway. Also very good at supporting children who need that bit extra. I always recommend and will continue to do so.x

Our family has been incredibly fortunate to have our three children attend NTATP over the past six years. The consistent strength of this nursery truly lies with its staff members. From day one, and through each of our children's journeys, we have been continually impressed by their caring and professional
approach. They create an environment where children thrive, and as parents, we've always felt our little ones were in the safest and most supportive hands. We can't recommend them highly enough!

I've used Nursery Times for 6 years and will be using it for the next 4 years. My three children have absolutely thrived in the nursery. I couldn't imagine sending them anywhere else! The staff keep me up to date with their learning and care. If my children have eating requirements or medical issues,
the staff are always very accommodating! I know the staff all look after my children well and genuinely care about them and my kids are always very happy going in and coming out so I know they enjoy it too.

We've had a child at nursery times since October 2022, my oldest started at 10 months and my youngest at 6 months old - both of our girls have thrived at the nursery and every single member of staff is exceptional - all very friendly, supportive and caring. Both girls happily run into their rooms and
have never left upset.
I would recommend nursery times to anyone and I feel lucky that both of my girls have had the experience to work and grow alongside all of the amazing staff in every room!

My child has attended this nursery since she was 15 months and has thrived in all areas of her development. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and very attentive to my child's needs, they support her and will challenge her in areas of her learning when needed. I receive lots of updates throughout
the nursery day via the online app used. There is a range of outdoor facilities which my child loves and has access to throughout the day.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.981)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.981) out of 10 for Nursery Times at the Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.981 for Nursery Times at the Park is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.981
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nursery Times at the Park is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 89 number of registered child places is 17.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
