Parent of Pre-Reception Child

08.01.2026

 

A fantastic Early Years Centre, that really did provide my son with the best possible start to his school education. He has now moved into the Prep School and I would recommend the nursery to anyone. The Early Years Teachers are wonderful, taking great care of the children, and making learning so fun.

The facilities are excellent, with modern equipment including interactive whiteboards, as well as traditional learning resources. Children have access to a huge garden and play area with plenty of toys and a range of outdoor equipment to use. They have a warm lunch every day with lots of yummy and healthy options at break time also. The center is spotlessly clean, and really well managed by staff. I always felt that my son was being so well cared for, in a warm, welcoming and friendly environment. He made incredible progress with his learning and confidence whilst in Early Years which helped him transition seamlessly into Reception.
