Our daughter has been at the nursery for nearly two years and it is a really friendly and inclusive environment. Events such as the annual sports day, grandparent days and parent breakfasts are a lovely way for the rest of the family to be involved.

We love having you here at Seahorse and have enjoyed watching your daughter grow and now looking forward to welcoming your son with us next year.

Review from Kashmal T (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've had such a positive experience with this nursery and couldn't be more grateful for the care they've given my son.

From the very beginning, the team created a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment where he felt safe and happy. As parents, that reassurance means everything, and it was clear every day how much genuine care and attention the staff give to each child.

The staff are kind, patient, and truly dedicated. They take the time to understand each child and support their development in such a thoughtful way. It's been lovely to see my son grow in confidence during his time here.

Communication has always been great, and we've always felt supported and listened to as parents.

We're incredibly thankful for everything the team has done for my son and would highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a caring and supportive setting for their child.

Reply from Charmaine Gazzard, Manager at Seahorse Nursery - Park House

Review from Josie B (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has had a wonderful experience at Seahorses and we have been consistently impressed with the warm, caring staff and the wide variety of activities offered each day. She is always happy and settled, which gives us great confidence. The team clearly know her very well, even those who are not working in her room. We always get detailed feedback of her development and learning, and we know that they love her unique traits and personality.
We wish they had the space for a bigger garden but this is made up by the regular excursions they do to the park or around the crescent looking out for various things. We also really like the weekly themes like particular animals or colours. They explore this through songs and sensory activities. There are also regular external classes e.g. music and sensory which our daughter loves.

We get lots of regular updates on the app including pictures which is always reassuring.

We had our Grandson Max living with us for 6 months whilst the parents had works done on their house. We had the best experience with Seahorse nurseries. Max adored the staff as was very sad to leave. I couldn't recommend it more.

Reply from Charmaine Gazzard, Manager at Seahorse Nursery - Park House

We loved having Max at Seahorse Nursery and was sad to see him love. He had an amazing time settling in the nursery and building the lovely bond with the staff and children around him. We do hope he is doing well in the new nursery.

We're so pleased to have found such a wonderful nursery for our son. The staff are absolutely brilliant - warm, attentive and clearly devoted to every child in their care. The environment feels genuinely nurturing and he settled in beautifully from the start.
We've also been really impressed by the range of activities on offer, from creative and messy play to trips to the park. It's lovely too that we never have to miss a moment, with regular updates and photos shared through the app throughout the day.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any family looking for that extra bit of care and attention. A big thank you to the whole team!

We could not be happier with the care and kindness our daughter has received at Seahorses! She has settled in so well and loves all the fun activities they get up to during the day. The staff are so friendly and helpful, it really has been comforting going back to work, knowing she will be so well looked after.

Review from Carl H (Father of Child) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Seahorse Nursery has been a wonderful place for both our children. Our eldest, thrived during her time there - supported by a genuinely caring and attentive team who went above and beyond to understand her personality and needs. The level of individual care from the practitioners is truly outstanding. It's clear they take time to build meaningful bonds with each child, creating a nurturing, safe and happy environment.

The variety of external activities on offer is also excellent - from French lessons to tennis sessions - all thoughtfully chosen to help the children grow in confidence and curiosity.

We've been equally pleased to see our second child now enjoying her time at Seahorse just as much. The team have created something really special here - a place where children are not only well looked after, but positively flourish. We're incredibly grateful.

Reply from Charmaine Gazzard, Manager at Seahorse Nursery - Park House

Thank you so much for your lovely words. It has been a pleasure being part of your eldest daughter's journey at Seahorse Nursery (Park House). We can't wait to hear all about her next adventure and create more memories with your youngest daughter.

Review from R T (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Seahorse Nursery Park House is an amazing childcare setting. The staff are dedicated and genuinely care for the children, the nursery itself is well maintained with a lovely outdoor space, space set up for different activities and kept clean, tidy and welcoming. The children take part in a variety of activities including baking, sensory, letters and numbers, French, music, tennis and take part in weekly forest school and regular outings into the local community. Also focus areas on things like colour of the week, teeth cleaning etc. Updates from staff are regular, detailed and also take the form of a photo journal you can look at during the day.

My daughter joined the nursery 3 years ago and will be leaving to start reception. Seahorse has helped equip her with the confidence, social skills and knowledge to be very well prepared for this transition. We will miss the nursery and could not have asked for a better nursery and pre school experience.

Review from Michaela I (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been at Seahorse Parkhouse since she was 11months old and honestly we couldn't be happier. We went to visit other nurseries but the Seahorse staff by far were the friendliest, most competent and you can really tell they really care about the children. My daughter is allergic to many foods but Seahorse put my mind at ease, reassuring me with care plan and procedures they had. The biggest plus is that they do so many fun & unique activities from being in nature everyday, bringing in animals, sensory classes, cultural celebrations, meditation and yoga! They also host useful events for the parents from first aid to nutrition. The curriculum is well thought out and varied, blending Montessori, Forrest school and even Makaton sign language, really supporting the children's progression. They understand that parents can get anxious and have actively started a WhatsApp group for parents, so you feel a sense of community. They are an exceptional nursery and we're sad to leave them!

Overall Experience

I have two children at Seahorse, and it is such a wonderful place for little ones. The staff are warm and caring, and go out of their way to create a nurturing environment for children to thrive. The curriculum is engaging and exciting, with enriching weekly activities like yoga, music, mindfulness, forest school, and tennis. Special events, like Mother's Day breakfast, have been a lovely way to connect with my children in their environment. The atmosphere is always so vibrant and full of joy. It's a very special place, and I always feel reassured knowing my children are so well cared for and genuinely happy.

We are so happy with the nursery. The staff and management are all well organised, quick reply, friendly to work with. Our baby is settled well after 5 months. She now loves going to the nursery and has made friends. Plenty of activities, rooms are clean and interesting events. Overall, it gives me comfort sending my baby there as I know I can trust them.

Overall Experience
Park House is a great environment for our boys. Full of warmth and fun and exploration, the team here go above and beyond to make the children feel safe and secure and loved. Many parents use the team for babysitting duties when they can which I think is testament to how loved they are and how much they invest deeply in the children's well being.

The nursery and brilliant for development of children's educational capabilities, balancing fun and comfort with challenge and responsibility. Our boys have learned so much here. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Our daughter started at Seahorse Nursery - Park House in November when she was 9 months old. The team have been really supportive in helping her settle in and have been great at keeping me updated during her days there. I feel confident this is the right setting for my daughter as all the team are very nurturing and the nursery offers a variety of activities for the children to help them develop and keep them engaged whilst maintaining a structure to the day. The children also spend a good amount of time outdoors whether that is playing in the garden or a trip to the park to see the ducks. Our daughter has a really good relationship with her key worker who has shown to know her well, which gives me further reassurance during her time there.

Overall Experience

Our 3.5-year-old son has now been at the nursery for about 8 months and both he and we love it. The staff in the preschool room are exceptional; they really take time to get to know each child and focus on their individual development. Each day there is a proper handover letting us know what our son did that day and anything particular we should be aware of. The range of activities on offer is fantastic; we've loved how structured each week is (weekly activities include forest school, tennis, baking and 'music man'). There has also been an impressive range of 'extra' activities from sports day and the Mother's Day class performance through to a class theatre trip. There is a real focus on learning and education, and the fact that there is a dedicated Education Officer was one of the things that we felt made Seahorse stand out from other nurseries. Management are great - really communicative and organised. Would 100% recommend Seahorse Parkhouse!

Review from W S (Father of Child) published on 28 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son (4) has been attending Seahorse for 3 years and our daughter (22 months) for 9 months and they both adore their nursery. As parents, we've been really happy since our son first started and there was never any question of our daughter going anywhere else. The staff are absolutely fantastic and go above and beyond for the children, taking time to really understand their individual characters and helping them develop. The range of activities are really impressive and well structured around clearly set developmental objectives, and they spend a lot of time outdoors, both on-site and on trips to local parks. The management team are in regular contact with parents and are always quick to respond to any questions or issues.

Our daughter (21 months) started at Seahorses Park House after Easter and has settled in so well. She attends the nursery full-time. She’s very happy to see all the familiar and friendly faces in the morning at drop-off. The feedback in the afternoon is timely and detailed with photos on the app. Nice to see what they’ve been up to in “real-time”. Activities are well organised and range from cooking, yoga to outings to the park! We are so grateful for the fantastic staff who look after her during the day. Thank you for everything you do at Seahorses!

My son (age 3.5) and daughter (age 1.5) have been at Seahorse full-time for 6 months and love the nursery. They are both happy going into nursery each morning and are excited to see familiar faces in their rooms when they arrive. The nursery staff looking after the children are engaged and really care for the children. The nursery management is organised and there is good communication with parents. The range of activities and opportunities offered to the children is fantastic (forest school, tennis lessons, French lessons, weekly music class, listening walks, park visits etc.) and the educational side is well-structured and varied. The nursery space is clean, bright and the toys are in good condition. My children are thriving at the nursery and I couldn't recommend it more!
