Always Growing Pre-School

My son loves his days at Always Growing! I'm a teacher myself and I think this is a truly fantastic nursery. There is a lot of emphasis on independence - my son takes great pride in dressing himself and putting on his own shoes, and when we decided to potty train, staff were really supportive. The staff are really warm and clearly care a lot about the children in their charge. There is also a mix of ages of the staff which is another huge positive imo. Food is top notch and cooked fresh by one of the directors (rather than travelling miles from an outside supplier). In a full day, children get two proper hot meals and my son hoovers up everything that comes near his plate. The children are always going on adventures outside and there is lots of loose parts play, not just endless plasticky toys. The space is beautifully organised (how do they do it???!) and management are very responsive. Thank you Always Growing!

Always Growing is the perfect nursery for us! The staff is passionate about their work and is experienced. They also seemed very psychological in their approach. My little boy had a difficult start and found it anxiety provoking to be away from us. He now loves going! His teachers monitor his progress but also knows him very well and appreciate the person that he is. Through their gentle, fun and warm approach they nurtured him into the confidant person he is today.

My daughter has been going to Always Growing for almost 2 years now. It has been such a huge relief to not have to worry about sending her in, as she enjoys it SO much. She has been in 2 different rooms in her time there and each transition has gone so smoothly due to the well trained and caring staff. I love the app that is used throughout her time there to keep us updated on what she's eating, how she is progressing, activities that have been enjoyed that week and any staff and setting updates. Our children really are the most precious little things to us and I'm so relieved to have found somewhere that cares for her so much! Thank you Always Growing 😊

From the moment we first phoned to enquire about a place, Always Growing has been welcoming and warm. My child joined Always Growing when he was 9 months old, so he was very reliant on his teachers - they took the time to understand my child's needs which made me feel very comfortable. He has built strong bonds with his teachers due to their caring happy nurturing nature, and they have always been so supportive and encouraging of his development. My child particularly enjoys the outside space (rain or shine!), and I particularly enjoy seeing the photos Always Growing share which shows various engaging activities my child has been enjoying!

Both our daughters started at Always Growing just after turning One. We have always found the setting and staff to be so warm and friendly. Both the girls have loved their time there, made amazing friends and really bonded with their teachers. We have felt it to be more of an extended family than just a nursery and pre-school. Our eldest daughter has just started at school and it is testament to the support and preparation at Always Growing that she has transitioned happily and is so excited to learn. Thank you for all you do, you make the, at times, tough decision of letting others look after our littles ones so much easier!
