I can't praise this nursery enough! Since my son first started attending the nursery he has come on leaps and bounds in more ways than I could have imagined. The staff are amazing, can't fault them at all, the nursery has such a cosy homely feel. I'll be so sad to see my son leave the nursery when he
goes to primary school.

We have sent both our children to Park lane, starting from 6 months old right through until pre-school age.
The staff are very personable and both our boys have been very happy in the setting. Good food, lots of learning through play, great communication from Park Lane to parents. Highly recommend.

Lovely, caring staff who are genuinely excited to help our children to thrive and grow. There are always so many different activities for the children, including water play, messy play, imaginative play, outdoor play, baking etc.
A weekly communication board is used in the preschool room, allowing
them to focus on a weekly theme, sign and sound.
All food is homemade on-site by their lovely chef with a wonderful variety in meals and snacks.
My child loves coming to the setting and has flourished.

Our son has been at Park Lane for about 7 months now and the way he quickly settled into the environment really exceeded our hopes. He’s since gone on to thrive in all aspects of his development so we’ve been very happy with our choice, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Park Lane to other parents.

Our little girl has been attending Park Lane Nursery since she was 1 year old. She loves going to nursery, she learns so much there, makes friends and builds her confidence in socialising with other people. Staff are always fantastic and full of attentiveness. We are very happy with everything and we
are glad our little girl is under their care. Thank you Park Lane.

I was extremely hesitant about sending my daughter to nursery but I’m certainly glad I did and chose this one. They have been so accommodating with my daughter, she’s extremely bright for her age and when it is possible, allow her up into the 3-4 years group and she is absolutely excelling even more
because of this. They have also adapted other situations to personally suit my daughter. The staff really are incredible! I cannot fault the nursery at all, they handle and address all situations with dignity and promptly and resolve them immediately. Thank you.

Fantastic nursery. Our son has thrived there and enjoys going each time. We can’t believe how much he’s developed. The staff are all really friendly and caring. The outdoor space is fantastic and we love the themes each week and how they get the kids involved in all the events! Thank you Park Lane.

Fantastic home-from-home environment with thorough, caring and passionate drive from staff to support children’s learning and support their individual needs using their own interests.
Our children love all the staff and so do we, there isn’t a single thing I would change about how Park Lane Nursery
is run!
Thanks for all you do, you're an amazing team and we wouldn’t let anyone else take care of them.

Everyone at Park Lane is wonderful. My child enjoys attending and is always delighted to meet any member of staff at the door. Their communication on the app is thorough and insisting so you know how they've got on during the day. The activities are well planned and catered for the child's age range.
Their outside space is also wonderful.

Choosing the Park Lane Nursery for our child after having a bad experience with another one who was there for just 2 months. We really see the difference: our child is happy, enjoying his time for learning and playing. They do different activities every day. They had a good learning strategy and a new
theme every week. The staff are lovely and had good communication skills, they are always ready to chat with parents. They use also an App and you can see what’s going on in real time (meals, naps, changing nappies.). You can see as well photos of your child playing which I found very nice. Another important thing they follow the development of your child with the Intent wheel which is very important for parents. I recommend this nursery, and I give them five stars because they really deserve it.

Choosing Park Lane for both of our children has by far been the best decision. I feel confident knowing my children are in such a safe environment where they can be creative and learn in so many different ways. The staff are lovely and put a lot of time and effort into getting to know our children and
giving them the support they need to grow and enjoy their time at nursery. I would happily recommend to any other parent!

Our child loves exploring daily tasks and loves the garden. Staff are amazing. We also get to see what they do, eaten, changed, suncream given etc throughout the time they are there. Encourage children to talk with them especially at times when they are encouraging them to use the toilet/potty so the
kids freely say they need toilet etc. Overall I think the care and time given is the best nursery for my children so grateful to have this one here and also close to get to.

My child attends Park Lane Nursery and she is extremely happy and settled. The staff have been amazing and management have been very supportive. The class teacher and key person have been amazing, not only with our child but with us as parents. They willingly fill us in on her day and how she has coped
in the environment. We are very proud to be Park Lane parents.

We are so happy we chose Park Lane Nursery. The staff genuinely care for the children and provide a great range of activities to keep them entertained. Our child loves going to nursery and wants to stay longer when we pick her up which says it all. The food menus are also good, with a variety each week
and freshly cooked each day.

Couldn’t be happier with Park Lane Nursery. My children age 2 and (almost) 4 have been attending since August 2022. We have moved a few times so this is the 3rd nursery they have been to and by far the best. They settled in so quickly, the staff are absolutely brilliant they really take the time to
get to know each child and what they like. My youngest has lots of allergies and they have always taken them very seriously and all meals are adapted accordingly without fuss. The daily communication with the staff through the app on every detail of the child’s day and in person has always been exceptional. Not a bad word to say about this nursery, it’s just fantastic.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.991)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.991) out of 10 for Park Lane Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.991 for Park Lane Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.991

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park Lane Nursery is based on 19 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
