The Orchard Day Nursery Kingston

Our daughter joined Park Hill eight months ago and is very happy there. The staff are attentive and caring, and my daughter has formed a lovely bond with them. I'm consistently impressed by the creative and engaging activities that the nursery team provide and the attention to detail in my daughter's learning and development. The online app is used really well, and we get regular updates, photos, videos and reports which give us peace of mind and insight into her day. We also love that the nursery is included in wider school activities. The nursery manager is excellent and really hands-on. Overall, we're delighted with Park Hill and would highly recommend it.

I am quite impressed with the details of comments provided by the school on my daughter's activities. Park Hill engages and focuses more on life skills which is a great factor in a child's development and growth. Outdoors learning is something as a parent I appreciate a lot eg the recent visit to the farm. My daughter loved that experience. The staff/teachers provide excellent care and services in support of my child's growth and development by going the extra mile, a recent example of this, my daughter is fond of unicorns and one of her teachers gave her a unicorn pillow. I am really grateful. It is indeed one of the best nurseries. Thank you!

We have a great time at Park Hill Nursery, and our child really enjoys spending time here, even though the settling in was taking time. The teachers were giving so many cuddles and care. The school is covered with green and play playground is just amazing.

Park Hill at Kingston Hill has been a great source of learning and development for my kid. All the teachers and staff of the nursery are thorough, professional and really very supportive to the child's needs. I wish them good luck in their future endeavours.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Park Hill Nursery where our daughter attended for over 2 years. The learning opportunities they provided from day 1 were amazing and the caring staff have always gone above and beyond to ensure that our daughter felt supported, nurtured and engaged in her learning journey. The nursery's dedication to providing an enriching educational experience truly shone through in every aspect of its programme. Our daughter developed academically, socially and emotionally under their guidance. I am especially impressed by the excellent preparation our daughter received for starting reception. The nursery truly laid a strong foundation for her future academic success and instilled in her a love for learning. I am immensely grateful to the entire team for the positive impact they have had on our daughter's early years. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child's early education.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience at this nursery! The staff are both professional and caring, always ready with a hug and a smile. From the warm morning welcomes to the positive and happy atmosphere throughout the day, it truly feels like a family. The facilities are fantastic, and the creative ideas for playing and learning have accelerated our kids' literacy and math skills. Our girls have become independent, confident, and full of positive energy. The headteacher is charismatic, passionate, and engaged, creating an enthusiastic atmosphere. Highly recommend this school for anyone seeking a nurturing environment for their children to grow wonderfully.

My son has been in the nursery for more than a year now and he enjoys it very much. The staff are lovely and everything is well organised. The staff were particularly good when my son was settling in, comforting and distracting him. A great nursery I would definitely recommend.

Our daughter joined Park Hill School and Nursery First Steps in Oct. The staff took great care during the settlement sessions to welcome her and make her comfortable. They are all very professional, caring and supportive, ready to offer help whenever we need it. Our daughter is very happy at the nursery since joined. I like the frequent updates on children's activities from both the app and the newsletter. The staff are always happy and available to discuss when we pick up the child from school. I would definitely recommend Park Hill to other parents.

After three months, our son is addicted to the school life. He will share with us what he was doing in school, what he ate, and who played with him. I am pretty happy with his changes, and I think the school's friendly environment and the teachers' patience contribute a lot to this.

My seven-year-old son joined Park Hill School's Year 3 cohort in September 2023. He adapted incredibly well and loved it instantly. The school itself is set up on such a nice ground, the kids get plenty of sunlight (as much as possible in our beautiful London) and fresh air. Everyone is so kind and helpful. We loved it so much we decided to bring his baby sister to the nursery and it did not disappoint. I also love the fact that my little ones are together and we look forward to them growing up together and making beautiful memories in the same school.

Our son is very happy in First Steps. Not only does he enjoy going in each morning, he is happy and chatty when we pick him up. The staff are all lovely and have made extra effort to help progress our son’s speech. Would definitely recommend Park Hill to other parents.

We have one child in Second Steps and another in year two. Moving to Park Hill was the best decision we made. Our children are stretched and tested but encouraged and supported. We receive clear and regular feedback which helps us support all the great work the school is doing. The school promote and embraces technology which is a huge plus too. The teaching is exemplary and the teachers show real empathy and understanding of the individual needs. The school is led brilliantly and there's a great community spirit.

Our daughter has experienced a significant transition (moving and changing nursery at the same time) during the time she joined Park Hill. Her settling sessions have soon become a heartbreaking scene for me. However all the teachers in her class were very supportive, they have tried different approaches and ways to help my daughter during this difficult time, slowly to rebuild her confidence, and now she becomes herself again, happy and confident!

Park Hill School and Nursery is a warm, nurturing and caring place to be. My child has never not wanted to go. He has made some lovely friends and talks about his experiences with animation and excitement. The staffing team take extra care to develop each child with a focus on individual needs. They build close relationships with the children due to it being relatively small. The learning and extracurricular activity is delivered to a very good level. It's home from home and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others!

Our son joined Park Hill School & Nursery (second steps) this school year after a move from overseas. Initially, we thought he would struggle with adaptation to a new environment but he's been quite happy to go there every day from the very beginning. He is full of joy whenever we pick him up and surely likes spending time there. Thanks to the teachers and staff for taking care of our little ones.

My boy joined Park Hill Nursery when he was two. He was very shy at the beginning and was not social at all. The teachers were very patient and caring to help him settle in. After six months, he is quite confident, talkative and outgoing. He enjoys various activities at nursery and has developed a lot in his language/communication. He is also very social now and interacts with peers/teachers actively. We can feel he is very happy in this nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Park Hill nursery since she was two years old. Teachers are excellent, they give private attention to each child and help with their specific developments and needs. Nursery benefits from schools' outdoor and indoor spaces and children often play in the outdoor areas and get fresh air all the time even during winter months. Our daughter developed herself a lot since she started Park Hill, she is now in Second Steps in the nursery and she literally loves going to Park Hill. As full-time working parents, we feel very lucky to know that our daughter is in good hands during the day. The only thing that the nursery can improve is the daily communication with the parents, we wish we would learn more about their daily activities and meals. But apart from that, we are very happy with the nursery and wish our daughter to continue to the preparatory school.

Park Hill has provided a nurturing and wholesome environment for our son to develop in nursery. Having kept him at home during the pandemic until he was two, he had some catching up to do. A year later his growth has been amazing to watch. He has grown in confidence and is fond of all the staff. Impressively the nursery is constantly evaluating areas for development and regularly communicate any feedback on what they are doing and what we can do to reinforce things. Could not recommend it more highly.

My daughter has been going to Park Hill Nursery from first steps (2 years old) to second steps and has now left ready for reception. It's been a great nursery. The teachers and staff were always very friendly and welcoming. My daughter was always happy to go to nursery and done many fun things there. I would definitely use the nursery again. Thank you all at Park Hill School for making my daughter and my experience a lovely one!

My child has recently started at the nursery and has been made to feel very welcome. As a result of the care, he has settled in quickly and particularly loves the outdoor facilities. Within a few short weeks, we have noticed his vocabulary expanding and his curiosity for learning has increased. I would thoroughly recommend the nursery and wish we had found it sooner!
