Park House is a great environment for our boys. Full of warmth and fun and exploration, the team here go above and beyond to make the children feel safe and secure and loved. Many parents use the team for babysitting duties when they can which I think is testament to how loved they are and how much
they invest deeply in the children's well being.
The nursery and brilliant for development of children's educational capabilities, balancing fun and comfort with challenge and responsibility. Our boys have learned so much here. Would highly recommend.

Excellent nursery, with very attentive staff and beautiful play room for the babies. Our child is well looked after and enjoys being there. They update us with pictures throughout the day, showing a variety of activities that she enjoys.

Our daughter started at Seahorse Nursery - Park House in November when she was 9 months old. The team have been really supportive in helping her settle in and have been great at keeping me updated during her days there. I feel confident this is the right setting for my daughter as all the team are very
nurturing and the nursery offers a variety of activities for the children to help them develop and keep them engaged whilst maintaining a structure to the day. The children also spend a good amount of time outdoors whether that is playing in the garden or a trip to the park to see the ducks. Our daughter has a really good relationship with her key worker who has shown to know her well, which gives me further reassurance during her time there.

Our 3.5-year-old son has now been at the nursery for about 8 months and both he and we love it. The staff in the preschool room are exceptional; they really take time to get to know each child and focus on their individual development. Each day there is a proper handover letting us know what our son
did that day and anything particular we should be aware of. The range of activities on offer is fantastic; we've loved how structured each week is (weekly activities include forest school, tennis, baking and 'music man'). There has also been an impressive range of 'extra' activities from sports day and the Mother's Day class performance through to a class theatre trip. There is a real focus on learning and education, and the fact that there is a dedicated Education Officer was one of the things that we felt made Seahorse stand out from other nurseries. Management are great - really communicative and organised. Would 100% recommend Seahorse Parkhouse!

Our son (4) has been attending Seahorse for 3 years and our daughter (22 months) for 9 months and they both adore their nursery. As parents, we've been really happy since our son first started and there was never any question of our daughter going anywhere else. The staff are absolutely fantastic and
go above and beyond for the children, taking time to really understand their individual characters and helping them develop. The range of activities are really impressive and well structured around clearly set developmental objectives, and they spend a lot of time outdoors, both on-site and on trips to local parks. The management team are in regular contact with parents and are always quick to respond to any questions or issues.

Our daughter (21 months) started at Seahorses Park House after Easter and has settled in so well. She attends the nursery full-time. She’s very happy to see all the familiar and friendly faces in the morning at drop-off. The feedback in the afternoon is timely and detailed with photos on the app. Nice
to see what they’ve been up to in “real-time”. Activities are well organised and range from cooking, yoga to outings to the park! We are so grateful for the fantastic staff who look after her during the day. Thank you for everything you do at Seahorses!

My son (age 3.5) and daughter (age 1.5) have been at Seahorse full-time for 6 months and love the nursery. They are both happy going into nursery each morning and are excited to see familiar faces in their rooms when they arrive. The nursery staff looking after the children are engaged and really care
for the children. The nursery management is organised and there is good communication with parents. The range of activities and opportunities offered to the children is fantastic (forest school, tennis lessons, French lessons, weekly music class, listening walks, park visits etc.) and the educational side is well-structured and varied. The nursery space is clean, bright and the toys are in good condition. My children are thriving at the nursery and I couldn't recommend it more!

The staff are very kind, trustworthy and attentive. There

The staff really understand my daughter's personality and needs. An outstanding nursery.

Our daughter has been at Seahorse for nearly 3 years and our son for 5 months. It is a wonderfully supportive environment and we couldn’t be happier with the care that our children receive. They’re welcomed by familiar, smiling faces every day. The staff are professional, and genuinely care for the
kids and it really shows. They learn through play and engage in such a broad range of activities, especially in the pre-school (forest school, French, tennis, music!). We’re particularly grateful for how much time they spend outside both on little walks and in the garden.

My daughter has been at Seahorse for 2.5 years. We couldn't be happier with our experience there. She has always been happy and the staff members seem to go above and beyond to make children feel confident and cared for. Park House is a lovely venue and the extra-curricular activities, such as forest
school, the music man, tennis and French, add variety and fun to the days. The management team are responsive and always willing to help and clarify if anything is unclear.

My son had a brilliant time at Seahorse Park House. The staff are lovely, caring and have really brought my son out of his shell and helped nurture a love and interest in learning, ready for school. He also made great friends. The extra activities such as tennis, music and a morning of forest school
are great.
My daughter has started in the baby room (Starfish) and settled so well thanks to the amazing nursery workers, who are very caring and make time at nursery so fun. The space is light with lots of engaging toys and activities.

All the team are kind, considerate and caring and make me feel at ease. I love how the children are always learning and kept busy either through structured play, forest

My daughter has been at Park House Nursery for almost two years and has had a wonderful time. The staff are loving, caring and creative, always finding new ways to help children learn and have fun. The facilities are brand new, each age group has their own dedicated space, and there is a private garden
for outdoor fun. The team bring in extra "classes", including forest school, French and Inky Swot for preschool support, tennis and music, which have helped provide new experiences and develop new skills and knowledge. Their communications with parents have been positive, with regular (but not overwhelming) updates by email, using an app for daily news, updates and photos, as well as thorough debriefs face to face on pick-up. Although my daughter will be very young starting school, I genuinely believe the Park House team have been instrumental in helping get her ready to start reception. Finally, my daughter has developed lasting friendships, and so have we as parents.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Seahorse Nursery - Park House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.786 for Seahorse Nursery - Park House is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.786

  • 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 Seahorse Nursery - Park House is based on 18 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
