What Parents Need to Know
At Greenview Nursery, we believe that strong partnerships with parents are key to a child’s success. That’s why we’re committed to open communication, transparency, and supporting your family every step of the way. Whether your child is joining us for the first time or transitioning from another setting, we’ll make sure you have all the information you need to feel confident and reassured.
From day-to-day routines to developmental milestones, our team is always here to answer your questions, keep you informed, and ensure your child’s needs are being met. We’ll also guide you through funding options, session times, what to bring each day, and how we keep your child safe and happy in our care.
Settling In
Starting nursery is a big milestone, for both children and parents, and we take great care to make the experience as smooth and positive as possible.
Before your child officially starts, we’ll arrange settling-in sessions to help them become familiar with their key person, the environment, and our routines. Every child is different, so we adapt our approach based on their individual needs, interests, and pace. We understand that trust takes time, and we’re here to support your child (and you!) every step of the way.
During this time, you’ll also have the opportunity to get to know us better, ask questions, and share any information that will help us care for your child in the best possible way.
Things you will need to bring
- Nappies and wipes (if required)
- Wellies and a coat/wetsuit for outdoor play
- Sun hat and sun cream
- A change of clothes including socks
- A water bottle
- Family photographs

What Our Parents Say
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Greenview Nursery. From the moment our son started, the staff have been incredibly nurturing, patient, and attentive to his needs. It’s clear they genuinely care about the children and take pride in creating a safe, stimulating, and joyful environment. Our son has grown so much in confidence and independence since joining.”
“Greenview isn’t just a nursery- it’s a second home. From the moment we watched our most prized possession toddle the doors, we knew this was a special place. The dedicated and passionate team sees our daughter not just as another child, but as the wonderfully unique little person she is. They know her inside out and upside down—her quirks, her interests, what makes her tick—and they tailor her learning in a way that brings out the very best in her.
But what makes Greenview truly stand out is how deeply they care, not just for the children, but for the whole family. They celebrate our highs with genuine joy and gently support us through the tougher days. It’s a place full of warmth, kindness, and connection. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Greenview family, what a magical place it really is. We are blessed beyond words and will forever be eternally grateful for helping our little lady to flourish beyond belief.”
“Greenview is more than just a nursery, it is an extension of a parent’s care, love, and education. It provides an extensive and enriched curriculum that our little girl thrives from. She adores the ladies that think she is as precious as we do and goes to them with open arms and love in her heart. The staff team are outstanding, their level of knowledge of our child is exceptional and the kindness shown to both us and her is second to none. The nursery team go above and beyond each day and provide our family with an overwhelming sense of community that we cherish. Our little girl is happy entering the building each morning, to warm hello’s, smiling faces and comforting arms. There is no place quite like Greenview and we are so grateful that our most treasured daughter has these amazing role models in her life.”
“Having both our children at Greenview Nursery has truly felt like being part of an extended family. The warmth, care and support our girls have had over the years has really meant a lot to us. It’s been wonderful to watch our girls grow & thrive in such a nurturing environment.
Now that our youngest is leaving, it feels like the end of a special era, but we know that our children are moving on to the next stage in their lives as confident and happy girls, ready for their next challenge!”
“We were initially drawn to Greenview because of its thoughtful structure. The four-room setup based on academic year groups gave us confidence that our daughter would have the opportunity to form strong, lasting friendships—ones we hope she’ll carry with her into primary school. Our family’s favourite moment of the week is Friday afternoon, when we receive a link to her weekly observations. Seeing the photos and reading about the skills she’s learning and the fun she’s having with her friends never fails to bring smiles (and sometimes tears!) to our faces.
What truly sets Greenview apart is the atmosphere. You can feel the joy when you walk in—the singing, the laughter, and the sense of care. It’s so clear that the staff love what they do and care deeply for each child. Our little girl runs in excited every morning and leaves just as happy at the end of the day, often handing out cuddles as she goes.”
“Greenview nursery is absolutely amazing for my little boy, they are so understanding with my child’s needs, they provide resources for him to help him. My little boy absolutely loves going and I always know he is going to have the best day. He always comes out of nursery with a smile on his face as a mother this is the best feeling, I am so great full for each and everyone one of the staff at the nursery for providing the best support for my little boy.”
“Greenview to me is extended family for my little boys, the staff care for them to an incredibly high standard, they all build individual relationships with the children.
At Greenview my boys have had and continue to have some amazing and so varied experiences, the staff create themes around the children’s interests at the time which therefore means they are already invested in the learning. They have the perfect mix of play and learning experiences, all the children are encouraged to express their varying personalities, and this is used to form further learning experiences.
Communication with nursery is second to none, the observations logged during their time in nursery are one of my favourite things to read they ooze my children’s personality to the extent I almost feel like I was there.
One of my favourite things about Greenview is their openness to positive risk taking, they allow the children to explore freely, they have a range of different play opportunities a lot of which is outdoors which my boys love!
I wouldn’t change a thing about Greenview and look forward to seeing my youngest join their community soon.”
