**** absolutely loves pre-school, I have no concerns that he is being well taken care of and his needs are being met. He talks happily about the friends he has made including the adults. He has learnt so many new skills already. I love that he knows everyone’s names and is happy to approach you all.
We are very pleased with **** settling in, thank you for all your help and for making everything ok for him to feel happy at preschool. All the ladies who work here are awesome and it was a pleasure spending some time with them

Really happy with how **** has so far settled into preschool he speaks so fondly of Amelia which is amazing to see how he has bonded so well with her. We completely agree with everything Amelia has said and where **** is on his on entry assessment. He can be very shy but since joining preschool it’s lovely to see him some on leaps and bounds and talk about peers
We feel **** has really blossomed since starting preschool. She has always struggled with independent play and is really clingy to Mummy but this is slowly improving, she loves her time at preschool
We are so happy with how **** has settled in to preschool, we both feel that a more structured setting like preschool is doing her the world of good. Thank you to Michelle and the other ladies for taking such good care of her
**** shows at home how happy she is and how much she enjoys pre school. **** is a chatty little girls who loves to talk to us about her day and all the activities she enjoys. **** repeats actions she does at pre-school e.g. puts her plate on the side when she has finished a meal.

We are over the moon with how **** has settled in! He is always excited to go in and always leaves saying “good time” or “Really good time” He talks about friends and calls all the children his friends. He tells us about activities and enjoys looking at the preschool photos . We are pleased he will be getting support with his speech sounds and feel his language is improving all the time.
**** loves coming to preschool. It is never any effort to get him out of the house to you! He talks fondly of his friends the ladies and the things he has been doing. **** especially loves climbing and drawing and counting at the moment. I am pleased to see him included in the nurture group for C&L and hope that this enables him to catch up. Thank you for all that you do
**** is really enjoying preschool. He sometimes gets a little worried going in (and sometimes runs in!) but he always says what a great day he has had when he finishes and how much he is looking forward to going back. He’s started mentioning lots of his friends names and tells us about them. And we have also notices lots of positive changes in him since he started .
**** is always excited about pre-school and she is really enjoying learning and talking about what she does during her days

Comments from New Starter Questionnaire January 2022
Such a lovely setting and staff who couldn’t be more helpful or caring towards the children and parents
The care provided is above and beyond. A family for all and a base for mindfulness learning.
I’m very happy with the care my son receives and he is very happy always to go in
I can’t express enough how happy I am with the pre school, I feel like my child is so loved and as a anxious parent the staff also make me feel at ease
The hard work and dedication from every member of staff that goes into pre school is incredible and I feel very lucky that my son is attending.
My child absolutely loves attending and the parent consultation was really useful. You all work incredibly hard and obviously care a lot for the children in your care, we feel lucky to send our child to you!
My son enjoys his time with you all. He seems to be settled and always comes home tired out and a bit muddy! He loves bringing crafts home.
They are all doing an amazing job considering what the staff, children and families have had to endure in the last 18 months due to COVID – well done! Keep up the positive spirit!
I notice things daily that my child learns it’s fascinating
I feel very good with all the staff and the care I receive and the support they give us.
The effort of home visits and the opportunity to join our child for a settling visit was really appreciated
Made me feel very secure as if I was leaving my child with a family member or best friend.
Praise for our social media presence
Love being able to see my daughter in action, makes me feel so proud seeing photos of her
I love the up to date content regarding what new things are happening in preschool, and the community interaction with the posts.
Seeing a glimpse into the day/week of learning our little ones have had.
Very informative and it’s nice to be able to talk to my son about what you have been doing.
In depth info on what they have done and what they will be doing. Aids conversation at home.
The blog and gallery are helpful to see what’s offered at preschool but the parents consultation and learning journey will tell me how my child is developing and progressing.

Feedback from parent questionnaires
“The settling in process was great, we all feel involved as a family – my child was made to feel very welcome and loves coming to pre-school.
I found the settling in process excellent, keyworker and all staff are very reassuring for child and parents.
Keyworker was amazing with my child when she started having a wobble in the mornings which quickly solved the problem.
My son was happy overall with the nursery settling and the staff friendliness. He likes to talk about his days at nursery and seems happy/satisfied when he is in there. The parents evening was brilliant and I had all my questions answered
We found settling in great. Our keyworker has done a great job comforting our child on her first few sessions and she now goes in really eager and with no trouble or tears
I found the settling in and new parents evening to be really good, very informative.”
