My wife and I have full trust in the staff and team at Pineview to look after and care for our 2 children. The staff are amazing and always on hand to support and take any feedback on board as every child is different.
We love seeing what they get up on a daily basis and each month has a lovely theme
throughout the year.
A well-managed and very welcoming nursery

Reply from Caroline McGuigan, Manager at Pineview Day Nursery

Thank you for your faith in the team and your kind words. We are looking forward to welcoming number 3 to Pineview later in the year.

My child has been with Pineview for almost two years now and my husband and I would be confident in saying it was the best decision we could have made in terms of childcare. The girls in the nursery are second to none and from day one they treated our little one like one of their own. After starting
off in the Tweenies, to the toddlers and now recently to the preschool, we have only ever had positive dealings with the nursery in all aspects. Our little man has grown in his skills, knowledge and personality and I believe a large chunk of this is all down to the experiences he has been given in Pineview, alongside their amazing staff. Leaving your child in any establishment for the day is difficult for any parents but leaving him in Pineview made it that bit easier, and we will be forever grateful for the exemplary care he has been given.

Reply from Caroline McGuigan, Manager at Pineview Day Nursery

Seeing how your wee fella has bloomed over the last 18 months has been a joy! His confidence has grown so much, and this is down not only to our wonderful staff team, but to the commitment of our parents and the relationships we build. Working together we will get the best outcomes.

Since my son started Pineview Day Nursery last year the staff have been brilliant! They have a great awareness of my child's individual needs and requirements and are very attentive, knowledgeable and caring. There are also a great range of activities and resources at the nursery to help the children
grow and develop to their full potential. Initially I was apprehensive about leaving my child in the care of other people before returning to work following maternity leave, but the staff at Pineview have made this transition a lot easier! Frequent updates shared by the staff throughout the day are great and it gives me that extra peace of mind! I would recommend Pineview nursery to any parent seeking a nurturing and inspiring place for their child!

Reply from Caroline McGuigan, Manager at Pineview Day Nursery

We really have such a great staff team. I am delighted your wee man - and your family - are getting so much out of your time at Pineview.

My daughter started Pineview Day Nursery in November 2024 and the staff could not have been more welcoming. The girls make each day fun and exciting for the kids with daily updates on how they are doing. The meals provided are a wide variety and I can see how my daughter has come on leaps and bounds
from a developmental, social and nutritional side since starting Pineview. The staff are amazing and really care about each child which can be seen by the kids reactions to each of them when getting dropped off or collected. Would recommend to any parent thinking of attending this day nursery.

We have had fantastic experience with the staff and management over the past 4 years. We can't thank them enough for caring for our children with so much love, kindness and compassion.
My children have learnt so much,
and come on leaps and bounds with their communication and social skills since attending.

Both of my boys have attended Pineview Nursery and I can not speak highly enough about the staff. My youngest still attends and I can see his confidence growing every week. The staff have been fantastic with him! Going back to work after maternity and leaving your baby with someone else can be so nerve-wracking
but the staff are so reassuring and made it that bit easier. It’s also great to have updates on the app throughout the day. I would highly recommend it, it is a great environment for your children!

My daughter has been attending this nursery for 3 years now.
The girls here are absolutely brilliant! A real home-from-home feel! The relationships formed not only between them and my daughter but also between them and myself I find majorly important! I love the chats with the girls at the end of
the day and they’re also great for advice with weaning off dummy and bedtime! It’s lovely how my daughter talks about the girls and loves going every day! I would highly recommend this nursery the girls treat the children like their own and you can see that in the relationships formed!
Sadly it’s her last year with them and we are both going to miss them big time!

Thank you so much. We will miss you both for sure - it's been such a joy getting to know your daughter and there's rarely a dull moment with her around!

All 3 of my children have gone to Pineview so we have been with them since 2017. I currently still have two children who attend and they love it. I can't speak highly enough of the girls looking after them, they always go the extra mile to ensure the children feel supported and cared for. They have
been brilliant over the years with helping to potty train and when the children have given up their dummies. The kids always come out bouncing telling me about their fun day and singing the songs they have learnt. Pineview has been flexible to any changing needs or requirements which has been a life-saver and I truly appreciate that. The app is great to receive updates and photos and the newsletter is really useful to learn about what everyone will be doing and learning about that month. I would recommend Pineview to anyone wanting a homely, caring, fun environment that will not only support your children but you as a parent.

Fantastic nursery with great staff! My 10-month-old has attended Pineview since September, and it has been a fabulous experience for both of us. From the delightful artwork to daily photographs, I cannot praise the staff high enough. Very attentive and caring staff that provide daily updates via the
app and pick up, on all areas of his care. It is very comforting to know my son is in great care and enjoys Pineview very much!

I have two of my kids in Pineview, and I would not send them anywhere else. All the staff are fantastic and would not walk past you without saying hello and asking how your child is doing. From the management at the top to the girls in the room and to the cook in the kitchen, every one of them is fantastic,
and all play a role in making you feel welcome and part of the family. The girls in the rooms go above and beyond daily to make sure every child has a fantastic day. Some of the activities they do with the kids I would never even think of. My oldest daughter's social skills, talking and manners have all steamed from not just what she is taught at home but from the girls in the rooms as well. The outdoor play area as well is fantastic for the kids getting fresh out as well.

I have two children that attend Pineview Day Nursery. One, just moving to Tweenies and one in the pre-school room. My kids both absolutely adore nursery and they are so well cared for. My daughter has specific needs and the staff in her room and the manager, helped arrange a safe environment for her
and even went to the extent of ordering special dummies to keep her safe and healthy. She absolutely adores her keyworker and I’m convinced she thinks of her as a second mummy. My son’s pre-school room has been so helpful in regards to my son’s development and the staff always reassure me when I feel like I’m not doing enough for him. He is a very emotional child but I have every bit of faith that the girls will always make him feel at home and comfortable in his nursery class. I would highly recommend Pineview Nursery.

Reply from Caroline McGuigan, Manager at Pineview Day Nursery

They do say it takes a village to raise a child and we will do whatever we can to make sure your wee ones are safe and nurtured. I am glad we can be part of your children's lives and please don't ever think you are not doing enough. Those two are an absolute credit to you.

My little girl started in Pineview in Sepember 2023, she had just turned 1 at the end of August. The girls in the baby room were fantastic with her and she was particularly taken with the Leader, who was exceptional with my little girl who took a few weeks to settle. Once she settled, she has no issues
going in and would run to the girls for hugs in the morning. They are so caring especially when my child wasn't feeling 100%. It was a relief when you are working and not worrying. My little girl moved to the Tiny Tots room and the girls there are equally as fabulous and they complete development activities with the kids that are fun. The girls are really encouraging my little girls speech development by trying to teach her new words and complete sensory based activities. The app is a brilliant way for parents to be updated and I love receiving the pictures. I would fully recommend Pineview.

Reply from Caroline McGuigan, Manager at Pineview Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind words. Your wee one has settled so well in the nursery and is loving her time in the Tiny Tot room. It is a joy watching her grow and seeing her personality really starting to shine! And as you say, none of this would be possible without our wonderful, caring staff team.

My baby girl has been attending Pineview and is now in the toddler room... she cried, and I cried with back-to-work blues at first, but the girls are so lovely and reassure you, send you photos, ring you and make sure you know exactly what they are doing. My daughter really enjoys it and runs in every
morning. Her development is amazing thanks to all the lovely fine motor skill activities... everyone knows her name and welcomes her in the morning. Thanks for all your hard work, wouldn’t recommend anywhere else.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Pineview Day 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.957 for Pineview Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (334 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.957

  • 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 Pineview Day Nursery is based on 29 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 29 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.
