The Orchard Day Nursery Kingston

Parkhill Nursery is run by a fabulous team of specialist nursery teachers and teaching assistants. Both of my children have been enrolled at the nursery and we as parents can’t speak more highly of the level of care and nurturing that they received there. As parents, you often wonder if your child will be happy once you have dropped them off or whether they are struggling, but you can rest assured that the team go out of their way to ensure that they are entertained throughout the day and will support parents to overcome any initial teething issues when they first start. The Manager and her team played a vital role in helping get my daughter settled in so quickly, especially with her having had little to no time away from my wife and I, due to the Covid pandemic. They have left a delightful, lasting impression on her, to the point that her eyes light up when we mention her teacher's names or that she will be going to school that morning. We can’t thank them enough!

My son moved from a day nursery to Park Hill School & Nursery for Second Steps and settled in immediately. The staff are welcoming and enthusiastic and, even with the many Covid restrictions, good at involving you in your child’s progress. It was a great foundation for his move to reception this year. The nursery classes are very much included with the rest of the school and are involved in things like school productions which is great for them (and very sweet). I would definitely recommend Park Hill.

Park Hill has provided an attentive and nurturing environment for our three children. Both First and Second Steps staff are highly qualified and keep parents informed of the progress of children and work collaboratively to ensure that children achieve their best.

Park Hill is a wonderful nursery. Our son, who started there when just turned two, has absolutely flourished. Now in his pre-school year, and thanks to the brilliant teachers and staff, he is confident, happy and making brilliant progress in all aspects of learning (from maths to woodland school and everything in between). The whole school ethos gives even the littlest children a real sense of belonging and great role models to look up to. I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking to give their child a great foundation to take into their school years and beyond.

I was struck not just by the confidence and the engagement of the children, but also the opportunities they were being given - I'd have loved that when I was little - with that and the classroom technology focus, it's an easy decision to keep our son here right the way through.

My children have flourished at Park Hill. The best decision I have made for their future. A small school with small classes which means extra attention. There's a real community amongst the parents and the school.

My girl has blossomed at Park Hill. The teachers are caring and very attentive, we could not be happier. The staff as well is always very positive, there is always a welcoming smile when they open the door and you feel you are leaving your child in good hands, which is very important for parents!

Our son has attended nursery and reception since January 2018 and we are extremely happy with the school, the staff, the overall quality of the teaching and most importantly, the progress our son has made since. We are also very happy with the school direction under the Headteacher.

Strongly recommended!

A first-class nursery that I would highly recommend to others. Blend really well academia, care and fun.

First Steps was a lovely nurturing environment with really caring teachers. Since he joined Second Steps last September he has really grown up; the teachers are very dedicated to the development of each child. They hold many events throughout the year so we feel part of the school community. Great nursery and school!

Our son goes to Park Hill School & Nursery and has enjoyed the full weight of enthusiasm and creativity of the teachers, staff and principal!
