A fantastic nursery. My child loves her teachers who always go the extra mile and learns something new every week. The 3-5 room is amazing and they have so many different activities as well as a great space for free play.

Overall Experience
Absolutely outstanding nursery.
They know everyone by name as you walk in.
We have some pretty serious allergies and from day 1 they have always been ontop of it.
Two members of staff, in particular - both fantastic when it comes to handovers!
My daughter usually comes home smiling, but shattered.

10/10 so far and we are 6months in.

Review from Claire V (Mother of Child) published on 2 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 1 year old has been coming to VPK for the last 8 weeks. We are so happy with the care she receives. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very caring. We have noticed a big leap in her development since starting at VPK. She gets trips to the park when it's sunny, lots of messy play and time to develop her own skills. The staff cater so well to what she needs (practicing balancing and walking, etc). She always eats her meals and the variety of food offered from the in house catering is excellent. We look forward to our continuing journey at VPK.

Overall Experience

We have two children at Victoria Park Kindergarten and cannot rate it highly enough. Both children are cared for in a stimulating and safe environment. The staff in each room are attentive the needs of the children at different stages. The management team are easy to contact (often at the front desk), responsive and caring. Would highly recommend for young children, especially for working parents given the opening hours.

...and what a joy they are too! Thank you so much for your lovely review, I'll make sure to pass it on to the staff in both rooms

Overall Experience

Both my children have been through VPK from the age of one. It's going to be a sad day when my youngest leaves for school this year! The staff have always been so caring and lovely in all the rooms. My children both flourished over their nursery years and have left well prepared and ready for their next big step up to primary school. Lovely staff, great space and lots of trips to the park, library and community. Well done to all at VPK.

Reply from Annie Campbell, Manager at Victoria Park Kindergarten

Thank you so much for such a glowing review. We look forward to having both children back at VPK next spring to read a story to the "wee ones"

Review from T S (Father of Child) published on 19 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My youngest daughter has been at VPK since 1 year old following in from my eldest who left 2 years ago. Both girls have always loved VPK with the team always working to make things better.
Structured fun day but clear focus on my daughter being able to express and develop in her own way.
Her key workers provide regular verbal updates/electronic record and are effective in supporting her toward goals.
She loves them and other team showing the caring nature in VPK.
Appropriate ratio of staffing to children. Always friendly 'hello'
Any concerns or accidents are raised directly and quickly with the parents and any questions we have either in the room or by manager are answered quickly.
Management/office is friendly and welcoming day to day.
Facilities are clean and well maintained. Rooms divided by age with equipment suitable for my daughter (or other development level).
Access to outdoors regularly both in gardens and on trips as weather allows.

Good quality of food prepared on site.

Everyone extremely friendly and they are outstanding with my child. Lots of toys, trips to the park when it is sunny and food that caters for him being vegetarian and which he eats without fail. He loves going and his development is clear.

Overall Experience
The team at Victoria Park Kindergarten are fantastic. I genuinely believe that every person there is invested and involved in my daughter's wellbeing and development.

I was nervous for her to start nursery as she has a fairly complicated health history but I am 100% confident in the care that she receives every day.

Reply from Annie Campbell, Manager at Victoria Park Kindergarten

Thanks for your lovely words. We are so proud of how much she has grown, both in size and in confidence, from that teeny wee girl who came to have her face painted. It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of your family's journey.

Overall Experience

Victoria Park Kindergarten staff are all amazing from management to teachers! My daughter has been here since before a year old and is now 3 and a half and she has always loved going there. They are all so supportive during periods of transition, and their activities are so varied and fun for the kids. I am so grateful to have had such a great experience of my child having had such a lovely time at nursery so far and know she is well looked after whilst I'm at work.

Review from Fiorella A (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son walks in really happy to go to nursery every day! We enrolled him one year ago and the room staff has been great in helping him feel comfortable and he was able to settle in pretty well. We always receive a warm welcome at the reception and the nursery staff are amazing. The management has recently changed and we are super happy with the nursery manager. She has implemented improvements and she is always keen on offering the best support. I really enjoy the updates they provide on private social media where I can see what my son was able to do and how he spends his days. We are thankful for having this nursery close to our home and we are looking forward to enrolling our other wee baby soon! We definitely recommend it.

Since my son started in April 2024, he has been more outgoing and has improved his social skills. The nursery staff are so helpful, polite and caring. I enjoy the daily social media posts and learning journal updates on the development of my son. I trust Victoria park 100% to ensure the safety and wellbeing of my baby. Thanks a lot.

Review from R K (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Victoria Park Kindergarten is an outstanding place of learning which we have been very happy to send our two children to.
Staff and management are familiar and friendly with children across all stages, not just in their own room, which in our experience has made the transitions from room to room much easier for our little girl as she grows up through the nursery. There is a uniquely warm and friendly atmosphere in Victoria Park Kindergarten. Every person who enters is greeted by name which is something I can't say for any other nursery I've been to, and this goes some way to demonstrating just how much effort the staff put into getting to know the families.
Any concerns we have had in the 2 years our children have attended the nursery have been resolved quickly and sensitively by the wonderful headteacher, who makes a huge effort to have a special bond with each and every child.

I would highly recommend Victoria Park Kindergarten to any prospective parents.

Review from Joanne S (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started here last year and has been thriving. He is so happy going to this nursery and the communication is great with newsletters, emails, and the learning journal.
I can see what my child has been learning and his next goals and achievements will be. I can add photos from home to share with his peers and this helped when my son was learning to walk and talk.

The nursery does so much with the kids indoors and out, it's great to see them all at the park or out on walks to book bugs. As a working parent, it's difficult to manage to have the kids experience everything and that's what I love about Victoria Park Kindergarten they have such a vast array of experiences for my children it's wonderful to see in their photos and hear about it in the daily diary and even throughout the day sometimes a wee sneak peek on the social media page for my child's room let me see what they are doing and allows me to share the experience. This is a great nursery and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Review from Emma M (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 1.5 year old loves coming here, literally giggles with excitement when she sees the front door in the mornings.
Her learning would not be where it is if she hadn't been coming here for the last year. Always surprises us every couple of weeks with something new she's learned that I haven't taught her at home. This week it was noticing her doing hand actions to wheels on the bus when it came on tv during Cocomelon.

Staff are all lovely and friendly and my daughter is more than happy in the mornings to see them all.

Overall Experience

Our second child is at Victoria Park Kindergarten now and so we have had 4 years experience with them. They have created the most caring of communities, many of the staff looking after the youngest looked after the eldest as well which says a lot for their turn over of staff. They are so flexible and nothing is ever an obstacle for them to accommodate the needs of the kids.

Review from Naomi H (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have an 18-month-old at the nursery and my 5-year-old did 4 years in this nursery. The staff have been incredible with both children. The first one joined during COVID and the staff were warm and friendly with the children while sticking to all safety/health requirements. Our experience has also been equally good with our second who has enjoyed his first 6 months there. He has strong connections with the staff and he has lots of fun activities during the day. My only request would be for the children to spend more time outside (summer and winter).
