Review from Patrick O (Father of Child) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I honestly couldn't recommend Heaton Park View Nursery enough. Both of my kids have been here - my eldest from 1-4 years old before starting school, and my youngest who's 2 and currently there - and we've had such a brilliant experience.


The staff are just wonderful. They really get to know the children

(and the families too), which makes everything feel so personal. You can tell how much they genuinely care, and both of my kids have loved going in every day.


Communication has always been great - from the little day-to-day practical things to really helpful updates about learning and progress. I've always felt fully in the loop and reassured that my kids are thriving.


My eldest went off to school happy, confident, and so ready for that next step, which is all down to the amazing start he had here. And my youngest absolutely loves it already - seeing him run in with a smile says it all.


Heaton Park View Nursery is such a nurturing, supportive place, and I'm so grateful to the team f

Outstanding nursery. My little boy has been coming here since he was 8 months old and has absolutely loved it. Caring, nurturing environment with continuous support and learning opportunities. All the girls are amazing and know the children inside and out. The staff team is strong and consistent.

My daughter started Heaton Park View in January. I was initially reluctant to consider a nursery placement; I viewed multiple in the area and was still very unsure. We came for a viewing, was greeted by the manager and within the first couple of minutes I was certain that this setting was perfect. Due
to my little girl needing support it was crucial for me to have a thorough understanding of how that is put in place at the setting. The manager and multiple other staff members were exceptionally reassuring that every child is welcome and so far they have given me no reason to doubt that. Even though my daughter took a while to settle everyone has been more than accommodating and thorough with everything involving my child's development. Since joining my daughter's speech and communication has improved massively, she has always struggled communicating however she now has a lovely bond with some staff and has made friends. I could not have chosen a more facilitating nursery.

My daughter has been with the Heaton park view nursery for a year and she is loving it. She has made so much progress with her literacy, social and physical development skills due to an amazing curriculum that was very carefully developed and delivered by staff. Every day she comes home happy, well
fed and clean, showing off the new things that she learned. I regularly get updates on her focus week that the staff plan around her current interests. And during the weekend, my daughter always asks when is she coming back to Little Owls (her current room) which shows how much she enjoys being there. A huge thank you to all the staff for taking such a good care of my baby.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has attended this setting for the last 2 years. The girls who work in the rooms are incredible. They know the children inside and out. They care for the children as if they are their own and the personal touches they create for each child's planning week activities is fantastic. My child
has found this nursery a nurturing place where he has really progressed with both his learning and friendships and he loves every second. It is the staff that make this nursery. Every staff member knows my child inside and out and us as parents even if they don't work in the same room that he attends. They all make such an effort to greet and interact with my little boy every time we step through the door. It is an all inclusive, warm, fun environment that I would recommend to anybody. So much so my other little boy will also be joining this coming May. The peace of mind you have going to work dropping your children off at a place that they are content and thriving is priceless to me.

This nursery is absolutely incredible. It all starts with the fantastic and highly competent manager, she is not only a lovely person but also a true fountain of knowledge, an inspiring role model, and an exceptional team leader who clearly brings out the best in her staff. The entire team is outstanding,
caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested in the children's well-being and development.


We have been part of this wonderful nursery since my daughter was just 11 months old, and now, at 2.5yrs she continues to thrive. Despite moving house, I still make the 2 hour daily journey to Heaton Park View because I know there is simply no better place for my child. My older daughter also attends the holiday club and absolutely loves it! The level of care, warmth, and professionalism here is unparalleled. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, it is truly exceptional in every way!

My 3 year old son has been at Heaton park view since 8 months old and I've never had a bad word to say about it. He has the best time, has made lovely friends and has a great relationship with all the ladies every room he's been in. He has developed so much and a lot of that is down to nursery. They
have always treated his food intolerances and asthma with great care and I've never worried or been concerned about him in their care. Thank you ladies for your commitment and love for my boy! Highly recommend for any new mums and dads choosing their nursery.

Fantastic Nursery with Caring and Supportive Staff


My twins started at Heaton park view nursery in September 2024 in the Wise Owls room, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. From day one, they have truly thrived in this nurturing and supportive environment.


The staff are incredibly kind,

understanding, and caring. They take the time to get to know each child as an individual, ensuring that their unique needs are met. It's clear that they are passionate about what they do, and their dedication has made such a positive impact on my children's development and happiness.


What I appreciate most is how they not only support my kids but also make me feel so welcome and at home. Their communication is excellent, and I always feel reassured knowing my children are in such good hands.


I highly recommend Heaton park view nursery to any parent looking for a warm, supportive, and high-quality early years setting. Thank you to all the amazing staff for everything you do!

Both of my children have come to this nursery over the years, my daughter aged 2-4 then after she left my son aged 1- current, 3.
All of the staff are amazing, perfect personalities for their roles so much fun and enthusiasm for the children. Amazing help and advice if there's ever a problem. They're
so knowledgeable. I can't rate the staff here highly enough you feel like they're part of your family after going there for years and having them be such a big part of your little ones' lives. They have great resources and really clever ideas to engage the children at all ages. Great variety of food healthy snacks. The people here make it what it is for me but they have so much going for them that speaks for itself like their Ofsted rating. Wouldn't have wanted anybody else to look after my children thank you Heaton Park View.

Both my children attend Heaton Park View Nursery and I think they love it more than home. The staff make each child (and parent) feel like the most important person in the room. All staff know all children, whether they work in their room or not. There is always a smile and a hello for each tiny human
that walks through the door. The joy and passion is clear from day one, they make everyone feel welcome and if it was up to me I'd keep both of them here until they were 18.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for Heaton Park View Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.960 for Heaton Park View Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (382 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.96
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Heaton Park View Nursery is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 92 number of registered child places is 18.4, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
