It's a great nursery school.

The team at Riverside are very friendly, professional and accommodating. Very happy with our choice of nursery for our daughter.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic. Our little girl has been at Riverside Nursery for nearly a year (since 6 months old) and we hope she will stay there and move up into the pre-school. The staff are proactive, consistent, helpful and perceptive. They know our daughter so very well and she loves getting to the front door for drop off every day. The activities she does are varied, well documented and meaningful for her development.

My child started at the age of 12 months with Riverside Nursery Grosvenor House and we couldn’t have asked for a better nursery. The staff are exceptional, attentive, kind and caring. In a little more than a year, I’ve seen my child blossom through her time at nursery. I’m so grateful to each of the team for taking such good care of the children and keeping parents well informed and up to date. The team are always happy to offer advice but also respect all requests without judgement. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in the area.

Can't rate this nursery highly enough. It took a very long time to settle my son (Covid baby) and the staff have showed nothing but an abundance of compassion and care from the beginning. The communication from staff to parents is excellent. My 1 year old is starting next month and I'm not anxious at all knowing the care he will receive will be excellent!

We have recently had to relocate our son to a nursery closer to home. It was with a very heavy heart that we had to leave Riverside. Under their care, our son has grown into a wonderful, growing boy, and it is much to the dedication of the team at Grosvenor House. We would recommend Riverside as a great place for children to thrive.

Our experience of Riverside Nursery School has been great. We feel confident that our daughter is happy when we drop her off and excited to see everyone! That's a great feeling. We are confident that she is getting great meals, feels loved and cared for, and is advancing her skills. She was moved up to baby 2's and comes home very content. Both my partner and I feel comfortable knowing she is safe and happy when we are at work and that the best feeling nursery can provide.

Staffing has been consistent, even through Covid. Special mentions to two members of staff for running such a friendly nursery.

Our 14 month old daughter loves Riverside Grosvenor House! She settled in so quickly within the first two weeks and became friendly with many staff. She looks forward to attending nursery almost every day. One morning recently, she was dragging her nursery bag and shoes towards me after I changed her clothes, indicating “it’s time for nursery”. She is also always smiling and waving goodbye when I pick her up, and reluctant to go home sometimes, just showing that the nursery is now her second home.

My daughter joined at five months old and loves it. The staff are brilliant, caring and keep us informed. It's made going back to work for me so much easier knowing she's very well looked after.

Riverside Nursery is a fantastic nursery and we can't find a single fault! Our daughter loves going to Riverside, sometimes we feel she enjoys nursery more than home. Every day they have different activities and you can clearly see our daughter learns so much there. We couldn't be happier with Riverside. The manager and her team are real stars and so professional, but being honest all the staff are.

Fabulous, newly furnished nursery with great facilities. The staff are approachable and very caring and friendly. I always felt relaxed leaving my children there knowing they were well looked after and have a lot of fun while developing through play and activities at the nursery.

I can't imagine loving a nursery anymore. All the staff are super kind, caring, and passionate. There is a different theme each week with a huge variety of fun daily activities which my daughter loves and learns so much from. Yes, the nursery has no outdoor space but to be honest I like the fact they make the extra effort to take the children on long walks each day to either the riverside, high street, train station, and have picnics in the park, and play games on the green. I feel it helps make the children feel part of the community and aware of their environment. The recent refurbishment on The Holy Road site is absolutely outstanding!

They have been great mentors and role models for our child over the last year.

Overall we are very happy with the nursery. The staff are friendly and always happy to accommodate my daughter's needs. She loves the nursery and talks about the staff when we are at home. The only downfall is there is no outside space, however, I know the staff take the children out for daily walks.

Our daughter attends two days per week and probably wishes we could send her more often! Settling in was such a breeze thanks to the kind, considerate and attentive staff who are clearly adored by all the kids in attendance. We hear great reports of the food, fun playtime, and games as well as the interesting activities the kids get up to on trips out of the nursery. Feedback from staff has always been excellent and we always feel at ease dropping her off knowing she'll have a safe and enjoyable day.

We love Grosvenor House! We tried another nursery prior to this and really didn't get on with it. Our daughter is now twenty months and has been going to Grosvenor House since she was sixteen months and she loves it there. It took her a while to settle in but the staffs' gentleness and care has helped her to adapt and now she walks in without saying goodbye to us! The nursery is incredibly well run and all the staff are lovely and very flexible to our requests. We would not hesitate to recommend Grosvenor House to any other (nervous) parents out there!

The Manager is supportive and friendly, she listens to advice and treats the parents with respect and lots of information. With the pandemic affecting us in different ways, I love seeing more of what the children are doing through pictures and videos.
