Parktown Pre-School is an Early Years Alliance childcare service located in Luton, Bedfordshire.
The pre-school offers 24 Ofsted-registered places for children aged between two- and five-years-old and was assessed as 'Good' by Ofsted in December 2016.
The pre-school has a team of caring, qualified staff who help children develop at their own pace in a safe, friendly and fun environment. Staff plan activities in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and actively encourage parents to become involved in the life of the setting.
The pre-school is open from 9am-12pm and 12.30pm-3.30pm Monday to Friday, during term time, excluding bank holidays and three staff training days. Almost all of the children who attend these sessions are in receipt of the NEF 15-hour entitlement, however Parktown Pre-School would also accept fee paying children during this time.
Visitors to the pre-school need to park in the 2 hour parking bays on Bailey Street or Park Street.

About this price
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.

He wanted me to go with him and stay there with him initially but now he is getting used to all of the teachers and his key person as well. He looks forward to going to his pre-school every day. I would highly recommend this pre-school to everyone. Thanks for this.

My daughter has just started Parktown and all the staff have made her feel very welcome and happy and she is settling in very well. She looks forward to going and is very excited. She can be quite shy with strangers but she feels safe with all the teachers and is already making friends. The children learn through play and my daughter is always excited to tell me what she’s done that day. The staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. I’m looking forward to seeing how my daughter develops and learns.

Since my son began nursery he has lots of stories to tell when he gets home. He enjoys going and has many friends. I'm glad he is enjoying his time. I was quite worried before starting as he has never been away from his family but he is really enjoying it.
