Ash Park Childcare

Such a nurturing and caring place.

An exceptional setting, offering much needed out of school cover for my 5 and 9 year old. Both have been regulars here since they were younger (my 5 year old was cared for here from when he was 1). They are cared for in a loving setting, with carers who interact with them and offer them structure, learning opportunities, and, in their words, fun! They love going and for me that's the best recommendation as at thier ages they tell me if they like somewhere or not. My 5 year old has autism and absolutely tells it as it is...and he loves his 'ash' days. I find the activities and planned excursions in the school holidays to be a good mix, offering something for everyone. Highly recommend it as both a nursery and wrap around school care, and school holidays care.

Ash park have been amazing with my daughter and amazing with me helping me when I have had to change shifts ect and really understanding and my daughter loves the nursery and the staff are always kind and helpful

Ash park has been amazing for my daughter over the holidays. They organised some brilliant days out and are very flexible on fitting her in. I would highly recommend the manager and her team are amazing. My daughter really can't wait for the next holidays to go and catch up with all the friends she has made over the many years she has been going.

My little boy has only been a handful of times when needed in holidays and he absolutely loves going to see the teachers and the other children. I always thought it would be a struggle because it's a new routine and it's not all the time but that doesn't seem to bother him and he always has lots of fun

All in all very pleased with the nursery wouod highly recommend

We would be lost with out Ash Park childcare - they go above and beyond and are so flexible catering for all our changes we need on a weekly basis! Nothing is never to much to ask for - thank you girls for all your help :)

We are delighted with the care our child has received from the staff at Ash Park. As a SEN child, our daughter's needs are extremely specific and the care and support Ash Park have given her and us is exemplary. They have helped us through her EHCP process and continue to do extra curricular exercises that go above and beyond their standard duty of care. A safe and supportive environment full of genuinely caring staff.

Would recommend to everyone

Do not send your child to this setting if as a parent you are under the illusion that "good" care will be provided. The management and the owner were extremely rude and unprofessional with multiple incidents I had brought to their attention. I was only given excuse after excuse rather than acknowledging their lack of care and understanding when it comes to childcare and how to run a sufficient early-year setting. My child's belongings were not used on my child but on other children which I experienced firsthand. My child came home with unexplained marks on her and when I questioned how they had happened members of staff had no recollection and were unaware of any incidents occurring in their care. The communication is very poor, their understanding of safeguarding leaves a lot to be desired and I deeply regret sending my child there and leaving her within their poor care.

My child is 7 and has been at Ash Park for about 6 months now (maybe longer) for breakfast and after-school club and also holiday club. She loves the place and the girls that work there. All the girls are great with the kids and are very professional. They have been extremely helpful and understanding with my shifts. I love the fact that the girls take them out on day trips and little walks to the park/ducks. The building is lovely too.

Ash Park has been amazing for my daughter. The girls really are fantastic. Lovely setting and always lots of adventures and things to do. Nothing is ever too much and if they can help they will. The bond between my daughter and staff is a lovely thing to see. They really have helped in so many ways. To see my daughter so happy and thriving at Ash Park is lovely to see.

I was very cautious about sending my child to nursery as she was extremely shy and clingy but I took the plunge and chose Ash Park Childcare due to knowing the owner. Safe to say it was the best choice I could have made, my little girl has come on leap and bounds especially with her talking and not panicking around new people. I would highly recommend to anyone searching for a nursery. The girls go above and beyond and the children do so many activities outside which is amazing!

Fantastic loving, caring staff that take great care of my son. Providing a wide range of activities and meals. Currently, a lack of enclosed outdoor space but this isn't a worry as they are always out and about to the park, feeding ducks, indoor play gym, day trips.

Our children will carry on their care with Ash Park until they are sadly too old to attend anymore.

As a first-time parent, it has been quite daunting knowing that the decisions you make can affect your child’s life in such a drastic way however Ash Park Childcare have been totally amazing through every step of the process - from induction to the current day. My daughter is thriving there and, at only 17 months old, is learning more and more every day. Each and every staff members are honest, trustworthy, and kind, leaving my anxious mind to rest and focus on work. Even though Ash Park is a relatively new service, there are years of experience behind the staff and we love to see Ash Park grow alongside our little one. Highly recommend!

It is so hard to trust someone with your little ones, but Ash Park Childcare management and staff are excellent and I totally trust them with my 1 and 4-year-old. The activities they get up to are excellent and they often do trips out. Food is always freshly made. They are very flexible so have helped me out with last-minute childcare needs. Thirsk is so lucky to have such a lovely nursery.
