As a mom, I’m constantly worrying about my boy and I want the best for him. Since he was going to start nursery, I really needed a place where he felt comfortable and also I felt reassured that he would be happy and well cared. Parkside View exceeded my expectations. I visited a few nurseries but then when I visited Parkside View, immediately I knew that was the one. They have a lovely staff, the installations are very clean, organised, and cozy for the little ones. His key person speaks Spanish. My son adapted quickly and loved to go to the nursery and ran inside. When I would pick him he would have a smile on his face. Unfortunately, he can’t continue attending, but I can’t recommend this nursery enough. I’m sure he will miss it very much. Thank you Catalina, Thank you Angela, Thank you to all the staff for looking after Cyrus during this short period.

As a mother, I couldn't be more grateful for the incredible experience my daughter, Ioana, had at Parkside View Nursery. She attended the nursery for a year and will be starting reception this September, but she will dearly miss the nursery and the wonderful people she met there. The nursery is led by Angela, who has been incredibly kind and welcoming from day one. Ioana absolutely adored her and always felt at ease in her care. Another standout teacher was Janani, who was simply wonderful. Through Janani’s speaking and reading boost program, Ioana’s confidence blossomed, and she learned so much during her time there. The nursery itself is a fantastic environment for children. They have a large, beautiful garden where the kids can enjoy the fresh air and play freely. Its proximity to the park was an added bonus, as the children went on several enjoyable trips to different areas and museums in London, which Ioana always looked forward to. Overall, Parkside View Nursery provided Ioana with a nurturing and enriching experience that we will always cherish. We highly recommend it to any parents looking for a safe, caring, and educational environment for their little ones.

My daughter has been attending Parkside View Nursery for the last 2.5 years and she has had a brilliant time. When she started she was in the baby class where she had nappies for the beginning. The staff supported in the first year with learning to be nappies free and to use the toilet, with her eating and all aspects of her development. The communication was great ,we also got pictures so that we could see what my little girl was doing. The staff take safety and safeguarding very seriously with even minor bumps and scrapes reported immediately and we were well informed. The building is a fantastic space with an amazing playground in the garden which was one of things that attracted us to Parkview Nursery. In the second year when she was moved to the preschool group the staff took a real interest in children's development and work to support them in preparing for transition to Reception.All members of the staff are kind and friendly, as well very professional and helpful in all areas which they could guide you. I cannot recommend this Nursery enough. In a word they are fabulous.
