Review from Rana B (Father of Child) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The overall setting of the nursery is really good. My son who is 3 has improved a lot. 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.

Review from Lisa L (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Agnieszja K (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I'm very happy with this pre-school. My daughter comes every day to play with other children and learn languages. She can learn different songs and listen to stories.

She learns how to share and how to play with kids. She tries new vegetables and fruits every day. She can play outside with the kids. The person in charge of the school is kind and nice. My daughter likes coming and learning here very much.

Overall Experience

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.

Staff are extremely happy, friendly, welcoming and helpful. Nothing is ever too small or too big to ask of them and they are always willing to address any concerns. I've seen progress with both of my sons since they started and they look forward to each day.
