View Full Details of Grove Park Pre-School and Day NurseryI have two children that attended the nursery for approaching two years. The owner took over management after the previous manager left. I raised in an email that the Ofsted framework had not been followed regarding their decisions after a behaviour incident. I also raised that it was inappropriate that my child be called wicked. I was called into a meeting the same day on pick up with no notice, where the owner defended her use of the word wicked, got cross about me mentioning Ofsted and then told me to remove both of my children immediately and never come back. This is massively traumatic for the children and again doesn't follow the Ofsted framework. I have reported them to Ofsted, the council and my MP because children shouldn't be treated in this way because a parent asked some questions. Wanted to share my experience before you put your child here.
My daughter joined the setting when she was almost 3 years old and immediately settled in well. She formed an amazing bond with her key person who she could not stop talking about. She transformed from a shy little girl to a very confident, chatty and playful girl in the setting. My husband and I particularly loved the variety of activities the children engage in, from weekly French and Yoga lessons to tea parties, fancy dress, etc. We loved how the kids' interests were supported e.g. my daughter loves drawing and mark-making and was confidently writing various letters of the alphabet within her first month (e.g. she would write the letter A and say 'Mummy, an A is up, down and across!'). The manager is so friendly, informative and understanding, as are all the staff I encountered! The parent app is amazing and is updated every day without fail which is great. I could go on and on, but will end by saying that I highly recommend Grove Park Nursery and Pre-school!
