Wonderful nursery with dedicated, friendly and professional staff who have an excellent knowledge of children's individual needs. My daughter loves her time in baby room and settles happily on her nursery mornings. The activities we see her engaging in on the app are lovely.

She has settled into our baby room so well and is really thriving! It's great to have her as part of the Pineview Crew!

All the staff are friendly and our wee boy is always telling us stories about the fun he has had throughout the day. The facilities are great, everyone is approachable and welcoming and we feel very safe leaving our son at Pineview. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We have all 3 of our children in Pineview and have full faith and trust in the team. They are top class and can never get enough credit for what they do and how they do it.
They have everything structured and always put my wife and I at ease if any questions or queries. With our youngest son starting
recently it has been seamless and the kids all love it.
Thanks again

I periodically pick up my 3 yr old granddaughter from Pineview Nursery. I can honestly say, that she is always happy and excited to show me what she did in class that day. She often wants to stay a little longer to play with friends. We have definitely seen her grow and develop in a healthy environment.
Thank you to her teachers and management

My little man started off in the baby room and has just moved to the tiny tots which has been an absolutely seamless move. The girls in the baby room were absolutely fantastic and they really put my mind at ease putting my little boy into crèche. He has come on leaps and bounds in his play, communication
and ability to share with other children. It's amazing seeing him flourish every day and this is definitely down to the staff in the daycare.
The communication from the girls is just amazing and the rooms are fully kitted out with everything that your little one could ever want. My little man plays all day and absolutely loves going in.


Thank you so much girls for your attention to our little ones!

Thank you so much for your kind words - we really do have the most fantastic team. Your wee man has been a joy and we can't wait to be part of his future learning.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been with Pineview for almost two years now and my husband and I would be confident in saying it was the best decision we could have made in terms of childcare. The girls in the nursery are second to none and from day one they treated our little one like one of their own. After starting
off in the Tweenies, to the toddlers and now recently to the preschool, we have only ever had positive dealings with the nursery in all aspects. Our little man has grown in his skills, knowledge and personality and I believe a large chunk of this is all down to the experiences he has been given in Pineview, alongside their amazing staff. Leaving your child in any establishment for the day is difficult for any parents but leaving him in Pineview made it that bit easier, and we will be forever grateful for the exemplary care he has been given.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my son started Pineview Day Nursery last year the staff have been brilliant! They have a great awareness of my child's individual needs and requirements and are very attentive, knowledgeable and caring. There are also a great range of activities and resources at the nursery to help the children
grow and develop to their full potential. Initially I was apprehensive about leaving my child in the care of other people before returning to work following maternity leave, but the staff at Pineview have made this transition a lot easier! Frequent updates shared by the staff throughout the day are great and it gives me that extra peace of mind! I would recommend Pineview nursery to any parent seeking a nurturing and inspiring place for their child!

My daughter started Pineview Day Nursery in November 2024 and the staff could not have been more welcoming. The girls make each day fun and exciting for the kids with daily updates on how they are doing. The meals provided are a wide variety and I can see how my daughter has come on leaps and bounds
from a developmental, social and nutritional side since starting Pineview. The staff are amazing and really care about each child which can be seen by the kids reactions to each of them when getting dropped off or collected. Would recommend to any parent thinking of attending this day nursery.

My little one just started in September with Pineview and they have welcomed us with open arms. All the staff from management to all the amazing classroom assistants are fantastic. My son's time is spent crafting playing with all the children singing dancing eating yummy food and he is buzzing to go

My wife and I use Pineview to look after our wee 14 month old boy. The staff are lovely. Our boy just smiles every morning when we pull up and meet the staff in the room. We get lovely pictures and updates during the day which assures us that our wee fella is happy and being well looked after. My wife

A wonderful nursery setting with staff who go above and beyond every single day.
We have had fantastic experience with the staff and management over the past 4 years. We can't thank them enough for caring for our children with so much love, kindness and compassion.
My children have learnt so much,
and come on leaps and bounds with their communication and social skills since attending.
Thank you Pineview, very highly recommended!

Both of my boys have attended Pineview Nursery and I can not speak highly enough about the staff. My youngest still attends and I can see his confidence growing every week. The staff have been fantastic with him! Going back to work after maternity and leaving your baby with someone else can be so nerve-wracking
but the staff are so reassuring and made it that bit easier. It’s also great to have updates on the app throughout the day. I would highly recommend it, it is a great environment for your children!

Thank you. It is such an honour to be trusted with your precious boys. We know how difficult it is to leave your children after maternity and we are privileged that you have chosen Pineview.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for 3 years now.
The girls here are absolutely brilliant! A real home-from-home feel! The relationships formed not only between them and my daughter but also between them and myself I find majorly important! I love the chats with the girls at the end of
the day and they’re also great for advice with weaning off dummy and bedtime! It’s lovely how my daughter talks about the girls and loves going every day! I would highly recommend this nursery the girls treat the children like their own and you can see that in the relationships formed!
Sadly it’s her last year with them and we are both going to miss them big time!
Reply from Caroline McGuigan, Manager at Pineview Day Nursery
Thank you so much. We will miss you both for sure - it's been such a joy getting to know your daughter and there's rarely a dull moment with her around!

All 3 of my children have gone to Pineview so we have been with them since 2017. I currently still have two children who attend and they love it. I can't speak highly enough of the girls looking after them, they always go the extra mile to ensure the children feel supported and cared for. They have
been brilliant over the years with helping to potty train and when the children have given up their dummies. The kids always come out bouncing telling me about their fun day and singing the songs they have learnt. Pineview has been flexible to any changing needs or requirements which has been a life-saver and I truly appreciate that. The app is great to receive updates and photos and the newsletter is really useful to learn about what everyone will be doing and learning about that month. I would recommend Pineview to anyone wanting a homely, caring, fun environment that will not only support your children but you as a parent.

Our child has been going to Pineview for over 2 years now and we've never had any issues. We asked him if he had a favourite teacher and he mentioned all the names of the current preschool team. We've been pleased with the level of care mixed with activity he has received over the years.

Fantastic nursery with great staff! My 10-month-old has attended Pineview since September, and it has been a fabulous experience for both of us. From the delightful artwork to daily photographs, I cannot praise the staff high enough. Very attentive and caring staff that provide daily updates via the

I have two of my kids in Pineview, and I would not send them anywhere else. All the staff are fantastic and would not walk past you without saying hello and asking how your child is doing. From the management at the top to the girls in the room and to the cook in the kitchen, every one of them is fantastic,
and all play a role in making you feel welcome and part of the family. The girls in the rooms go above and beyond daily to make sure every child has a fantastic day. Some of the activities they do with the kids I would never even think of. My oldest daughter's social skills, talking and manners have all steamed from not just what she is taught at home but from the girls in the rooms as well. The outdoor play area as well is fantastic for the kids getting fresh out as well.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Pineview Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.943 for Pineview Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.943
  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 Pineview Day Nursery 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, 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.
