Testimonials

“Wow! where do I start? My daughter has only been at Preschool for a few months, but with the progress she has made, I feel like she has been going for the past year. From day one she has loved her preschool days and the warmth and kindness from all the members of staff has been a massive reason for this. The personalised care the staff give the children is second to none!”

“My child’s confidence has grown so much and he has built lots of new relationships. The staff are so supportive and actively engage us in our child’s learning and progress. My child has been able to grow in confidence through themed activites. He has enjoyed exploring the woods, learning about bugs, watching caterpillars grow, looking after his beanstalk and he has been able to retell stories that they have been learning about. I think this preschool is fantastic and offers such a varied range of experiences for children!”

“My son has loved preschool since day one, he is always excited to go and when he comes home he loves to tell us all the great things he has done, he loves all his teachers and has made a lot of friends.

“It’s an amazing preschool with so much to offer. There are so many themed activities and opportunities for children to learn. It’s great they also have access to the trim trail and woods for that extra fun/learning experience. My daughter loves coming every day! From the bottom of my heart I cannot thank all the preschool staff enough for what they have done for her.”

Ms M (July 2022)

“My daughter has had the most amazing two years in Preschool! She had learnt so many skills this year and I could not be happier with the care and understanding that all of the staff have shown to her. She really enjoys coming to preschool and wants to come every day, even on her day off! She comes home with a smile on her face every day and loves telling me what fun she has had. The provision and the experiences the children get is amazing, the set up of activities and themes changing throughout the terms provide such an exciting learning and playing experience for them. All of the outdoor activities are brilliant and the children are always encouraged to be active. My daughter has especially enjoyed messy play activities, the snow day, making dens in the spinney and so much more. Everything has been fantastic. We can’t thank you all enough. Outstanding Preschool!”
