How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My son loves going to nursery and is always eager to attend. He has learnt a lot since coming here, I can attribute that to the wonderful staff. There is a reason why children love coming to this nursery and that is the passion that staff have in ensuring every child is catered to and feels safe in a nurturing environment. I wouldn't want my child to go anywhere else.

Parktown Pre-School Nursery is one of the best nurseries, both of my sons went to this nursery. They both learned a lot from here, my elder son is in school but my little one is still going. He has learned to communicate with good manners and even he learned about sign language. He loves to express his feelings so well and even explores new things. Now he knows how to make friends before he was too shy to talk with others. We really thank the staff, all are very nice and friendly and always able to help.

We have now got 2 children that we can say happily go to Parktown Pre-school. One has already been and moved into school, and the other our daughter still goes. The preschool is always good at telling us and updating us about our child's progress. We are happy about our experience and the positive influence they have in our children's lives. The experience is like a partnership, we and the team at Parktown Preschool work together to achieve the most flourishing flower from the flowers we know our children are.
