I love this nursery. The staff is so nice and takes good care of the children. The activities, learning games, dancing, and other activities keep the children engaged. Everyone welcomes children with a big smile that energises the whole mood. I recommend this nursery to every parent.

Overall Experience

Both my children have been at Victoria Park Kindergarten. My son will leave this year. An excellent nursery which we really feel part of the family of. All staff know who my son is and ask about daily life. They are all interested in what makes him happy. Staff go above and beyond to make every day interesting. Support for parents is there when you need it too.

Victoria Park Kindergarten is an amazing nursery. The staff are all excellent and the environment is lovely. I feel completely at ease leaving my son for the day. I know he has a great time, is totally safe, gets healthy and nutritious meals and has lots of outdoor play. Thank you all.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. It's particularly lovely that you mentioned outdoors. This is an area we have been working hard to develop even further.

We love this nursery. We love that we get to see what our little one is up to through the private social media group and the learning journals. We know that our little one is well looked after and her development is being nurtured. I would highly recommend this nursery. The facilities and the staff are amazing.

Overall Experience
Our daughter absolutely loves coming here every week. You are always greeted with a warm welcome at reception and the nursery staff are beyond amazing.
I was worried before returning to work that she wouldn't settle, however, she gets so excited when we pull up in the car.
She has learnt so much since joining and it's lovely to see her room workers get excited when she hits new milestones.

Thank you for making it a lovely place to come.

I have had both of my children in this nursery and would highly recommend it. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. My children are comfortable going in to nursery in the morning and seem to enjoy it. Regular social media group updates are good and communication is also good.

Overall Experience
Both my children have attended Victoria Park Kindergarten. It is a fantastic nursery with engaged and welcoming staff. They make a huge effort to get to know children as individuals and the strong relationships they build with parents and young people are excellent.

Victoria Park Kindergarten has provided both of our children with a strong foundation for developing in education and as people.

Overall Experience
I have two children currently attending Victoria Park Kindergarten and am so happy with the care they receive. The team are caring and kind, they are approachable and responsive when we have questions or the kids have a change in their care needs and they are fun!

One of my kids is particularly shy and struggles with transitions, she has been supported throughout and thrives in nursery as a result.

Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have sent both my boys to the nursery and am very happy with their care. The staff show great relationships and understanding of both boys' needs and everyone within the setting is friendly and welcoming. Any correspondence has been dealt with quickly and efficiently. The range of activities is excellent and being able to view these on the social media page is great. It would be nice if the weekly plans could be shared digitally since this would allow for discussions to be had at home as well.
In the younger rooms, daily feedback forms are provided which is great but is there a way this could be done digitally (perhaps on an app) as I feel at handover the ladies simply read the paper and then it's handed over. Having a digital app would save on paper and would allow handover to be more focused on the child and the activities they took part in.

Having the staff photos displayed outside the rooms and in reception is a great way of getting to know who is looking after the boys.

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We're actually looking into a digital format to share daily information at the moment, so please watch this space!

Review from Tom K (Father of Child) published on 12 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Victoria Park Kindergarten have been wonderful with us and our daughter. Our wee one started at just nine months and the care and support offered her from the start has been incredible. She is so happy and her development has been so clear to see. The staff are highly skilled, incredibly careful, warm and supportive. We are grateful for their care and couldn't recommend the whole team highly enough.

Review from T M (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Victoria Park Kindergarten has been a great, safe space for my little one to settle into the two years that he has attended now, he absolutely loves it and the staff are amazing from the minute you enter the building and are greeted by the receptionist and the room staff for the children. The activities they do with the children are amazing and I have noticed an amazing improvement in my child since attending this nursery. I understand how daunting it can be selecting a nursery for your little one but hand on heart, I would recommend Victoria Park Kindergarten to any parent as it has been amazing for me and my child.
