Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, she settled in so quickly and has learnt lots. We never have to worry about sending her in as the team absolutely dote on her, they tailor the child’s experience to them and they take so much care in making sure they’re happy. We are honestly delighted with how she is getting on and can’t wait to see her progression over the years!

Our granddaughter started here at 10 months old. She absolutely loves all the staff and her day is filled with activities to enhance her learning. The staff always inform her parents if they have any concerns about her health during the day. The food is excellent. Healthy meals that appeal to toddlers are on the menu. I can't praise all the staff enough and I know we all have total confidence that the care She receives is outstanding . Thank you to all the staff for keeping her safe, happy and welcoming her each day. The photograph shows her striding out eager to start the day .

A truly outstanding nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing - warm, caring and dedicated to every child’s development. There is no need to look elsewhere. They create a nurturing and stimulating environment. My daughter absolutely thrives here. All staff are caring, considerate and communication is excellent. Safeguarding is a top priority, activities are engaging and well planned. The food is amazing and varied. My daughter doesn’t want to leave when I pick her up!! Heaton Park View is the perfect choice.

I could not wish for a better nursery for my children to go to, each and every member of Heaton park view nursery are so lovely and have been amazing making both my boys feel comfortable and settled in to nursery. My eldest has been attending since 2023 and my youngest since 2024, they both adore the ladies in their classes and have both come on massively since staring nursery. I just want to thank all the staff for always taking the best care of my children.

We are beyond impressed with our experience at ​Heaton Park View Nursery! One of the things that stood out the most was how they have gone above and beyond to accommodate our child's dietary needs. From the moment we discussed it with the staff, they were incredibly understanding and proactive, ensuring that our child's specific requirements were met without any hassle. ​The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also so loving and nurturing. They make sure every child feels special and safe, and they take the time to update us with regular communication about our child’s progress​ (both through the app and in person). It’s clear that they truly love what they do! Our child has blossomed in such a short time, and it’s a joy to see them ​learning new things every day. The curriculum is well-rounded, with a great balance of creative play, structured learning, and outdoor time. It’s been such a positive experience, and we are grateful for the support and care that ​H​eaton Park View provides. I highly recommend Heaton Park View to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child.
