My child has attended The Park Nursery from 11 months old to 4 years old and has just left for school. Our experience of The Park has been exceptional. From the warm welcome into the baby room to the incredible handling of a very tricky final year during the pandemic, it has been a wonderful journey
and we were all very sorry to say goodbye. The team are friendly, kind and patient. The facilities are great - we love the real grass garden and mud kitchen. We received regular feedback and reports on our child's activities and a very helpful weekly newsletter. Thank you so much Park Nursery! You are a fantastic team and we fully appreciate your hard work and the support you give to your families.

My daughter has just finished there ahead of starting school and has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old. My son is still attending. Firstly the staff are extremely attentive and full of enthusiasm. There is very low staff turnover which is comforting and means that the kids have had
the opportunity to grow strong bonds with all staff members, not just their specific key workers. Our children literally run to the door in the morning and are always welcomed by friendly, smiling faces. The nursery itself has great facilities and a lovely outdoor section with mud kitchen, play equipment and other age-appropriate toys which the kids love. Overall it is a very warm and welcoming place. As a family, we feel very lucky that we've been able to send our children to Park Nursery. I would highly recommend to all parents looking for a nursery provider.

My son has just had his last day at the Park as he is starting school this year. He has spent nearly 4 years there and I could not have asked for a better start for him. All the staff have been so supportive and caring right through his time there, paying such close attention to him as an individual
and really helping to build his confidence. His time in the pre-school room has helped prepare him so well for this big transition to school and I know what a strong bond he made with his key worker in this room. I can highly recommend this nursery. My son and I will miss all the staff very much.

Our 20-month-old daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 10 months old. She loved it from her first day and is always really pleased to see staff in the morning. Staff are all very friendly, warm and welcoming and communicate well. As well as daily individual updates, there is a weekly
email updating on activities in each room and photos are printed off and sent home along with pieces of art. The company send further weekly updates and there are free workshops on issues such as sleep and managing behaviour, which are really helpful. There is a lovely homely environment, with thoughtful displays and calm spaces, e.g a lavender wall in the baby room. The outside space is excellent with equipment, trees and plenty of space.

We feel so fortunate to have found The Park Nursery for our youngest child (who is currently 1 1/2 yrs old) - we know lots of families who've had children there and always speak highly of their experience. Their provision is really brilliant, space indoors and out is fantastic, and they have great activities
for the children. The staff are exceptional, warm, thoughtful and thorough in their care. The food offer is really broad, healthy and provides opportunities to try new flavours - my child has an allergy which has been dealt with really well. In addition to all of this, each week we receive information about what they've been doing with the children and how we can extend that at home, and they offer brilliant free workshops for parents. Our daughter is still little but always really happy to go to nursery, and if we show her a picture of the baby room, she is visibly excited, which is lovely to see.

My little girl has been going to The Park Nursery for 7-months now since she was 13-months-old. I am so happy that I chose to send her here - the staff are incredible. They are always smiling, and you can see how much they adore the children and how much the children adore them too. The carers have
an abundance of empathy, and they are so engaging.
The garden area is second to none - the space and equipment are fantastic. I am frequently impressed with the variety of nutritious meals that they are offered and the thorough feedback, about the day they have had, upon pick up. My little comes home very happy (and suitably tired!) because of all the lovely activities and stimulation she receives each day. I couldn’t be happier with The Park Nursery and would definitely recommend it!

Our son attended the nursery from 11 months old until aged 4 years, progressing from the baby room through to the pre-school room in that time. My wife and I were very pleased with the nursery, from the early settling experiences through to his development into a confident young boy about to head off
to school. We particularly liked the care and attentiveness of the staff, with our son having formed close bonds with all the workers and management in his time at Park Nursery. We also loved the community aspect including friendships with other parents, the desirable location and the wonderful outdoor space. It is only due to our personal circumstances that we have recently left Park Nursery, and would highly recommend it to anyone in the Hither Green or surrounding areas.

Our son has been at Park Nursery since he was 10-months-old. From the baby room to pre-school he's had a fabulous experience during his time at Park Nursery. We couldn't be happier with the standard of care and support he's received from The Park team – he has formed close bonds with staff and other
children and loves his time at nursery. The facilities are excellent – especially the garden where the children spend much of their time in warmer months and they enjoy a wide range of activities including cooking, gardening and trips out. His key workers have been great at identifying and working one-on-one with him on areas of personal development as well as involving him in group activities. He's a happy, sociable child, and I'm sure that's in no small part due to his time at Park Nursery.

Both our children go to Park and they love it. My oldest is about to leave to start school and we cannot express how thankful we are to the manager and the team for the level of care and support they have given over the last 3 and a half years. They have been wonderful at settling our baby into the
baby room and we have utter confidence in the manager and the team. The garden is an amazing resource for a London nursery and the children spend a large amount of time learning and playing outdoors.

It’s

Both of my children have attended The Park Nursery from the Baby Room all the way through to the Pre-School Room. It has been such a kind and nurturing setting. The staff are excellent with the children and the vast majority of the staff have worked there for many years, so staff turnover is very low,
unlike other nurseries. The children are able to make close bonds with their key workers and other staff in the room, and we have always felt sad saying goodbye to staff as our children have moved rooms. Our youngest child has just moved into the Pre School room which he is enjoying, especially the large outdoor space that he can play in for a lot of the day. For any new parents looking for a nursery for their little one, we couldn’t recommend The Park Nursery more.

My two children have been at Park Nursery since they were 9 months old and I have never had a day when I have worried about leaving them in their care. The kindness and support that they give to both the children and parents alike has exceeded any expectations, especially during tricky times such as
the birth of a sibling and the coronavirus. The garden is awesome and the children are lucky enough to get to spend lots of time outside. My eldest has since moved on to school and I truly believe that she settled so well into school due to the preparation that Park had given her. My youngest is now in her last year at Park and I will truly miss dropping my child there every day.

Both my children have loved going to Park. The staff are excellent - they genuinely care about the children and create a loving, safe, kind, supportive and creative atmosphere that my family feel is truly unique. We have learnt so much from their approach to nurturing - not only do they care wonderfully
during the day they also support us as parents on our own journeys through potty training, learning to read and so on. The nursery itself has a wonderful garden with real soil, grass, trees and access to nature for the children to run around and play. That said, they are also always well protected with sunscreen, hats and shade in summer and warm coats and wellies in winter. Inside the nursery there is a homely learning environment with plenty of imaginative play involving bricks, construction, sand, water, painting, role play and so on. The food, particularly the vegetarian food, has always been excellent and my kids have enjoyed trying out new menus. A truly special nursery.

It is incredible to see how much energy and passion they give to all the children and that is so visible when you watch the children happily run in each morning. The whole team are

My youngest child is coming to an end of his time at The Park Nursery and it's hard to describe how grateful we are to all the staff, who have taken such good care of both our children over the past five and a half years. When I settled my first child in at the age of 11 months, I was an anxious first-time
parent, worried about everything! The patient, nurturing and reassuring approach of staff in the baby room made the whole process so much easier, and I was soon able to feel happy and confident that my baby was receiving attentive and professional care. This experience was repeated with my second baby, who would reach out to his key worker on arrival, giving her a big smile, because she had persistently and lovingly invited him to attach to her and therefore feel safe in a new environment, at just 10 months old. Ever since, moving through the different rooms as my children grew, we were met with the same warmth, thoughtfulness and professionalism from management and staff. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.620)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.620) out of 10 for The Park Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.916 for The Park Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.916

  • b) 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 4.704 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Park Nursery is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.9

    • ii) 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.804

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
