So glad that my little girl joined Crafty Wizards. I heard good things & they lived up to it. Lovely staff who keep you updated on how your child is settling in / getting on. I love seeing updates & photos throughout the day of what my little girl is doing. The activities are always so fun and varied. The added extras of allotment visits, park visits, traffic light walks etc are brilliant. My little girls favourite thing to do is visit the allotment & she always comes back with lots of stories. I would highly recommend this pre-school. Thank you all :)

My daughter adores going to pre-school at Crafty Wizards - Avery Hill. The girls there always ensure the children are safe and happy! Communication is excellent between staff, parents and children. My daughter especially loves their outdoorsy trips to the allotments and park! Couldn't be happier with our experience so far!! You can tell that the children are the priority here which was the most important factor for myself as a parent when selecting a pre-school.

My 4 year old daughter loves her days at Crafty Wizards. There is different activities everyday, theme weeks, dress up days and trips to the allotment and forest school. The preschool is equipped with resources to promote learning, play, crafts and social skills. The staff are friendly and approachable and on pick up tell what kind of day your child has had. The private Facebook page also allows you to see what the children are doing throughout the day with photo uploads.
