Having had one of my sons attend Park lane children centre I had no doubt to take my second child there, The Staff are very kind, caring & thoughtful, always greeting children with a smile on their faces. Facilities are clean and set up as a welcoming. They have a spacious outdoor play area where children happily roam at outdoor and Inside has plenty of space as well and is set up thoughtfully for different focus areas of play and learning, catering to the range of ages in nursery. The staff always around the children giving lots of positive attention. My eldest son left well prepared & confident for Reception; now it’s time for my little one, he loves it already..I highly recommend Park Lane Children Centre.
