We absolutely love this nursery. My daughter has just started and we already feel so confident that she’s in the best hands. The staff are so kind, welcoming, genuine and caring, which makes such a difference as a parent. My son also attended here, he’s now 4, and it was an amazing experience for him. He still asks to go back, which says everything about how happy and safe he felt there. The memories and positive impact it had on him have stayed with him. The environment is warm, nurturing and fun, and you can see how much effort goes into supporting each child’s development. We couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! It’s a wonderful place where children truly thrive.

Eastern Green preschool playgroup is a fantastic setting for 2-4 year olds, my eldest didn’t attend here so I was a bit nervous to send my Son somewhere different but what an amazing choice we made for him! The days he has preschool are his favourite. He can’t wait to get there and see his friends and all the lovely staff. They are so friendly and it really does feel homely. He always comes home so happy and so tired, they really do do lots with the children that attend. I was blown away when it was my son’s birthday, they helped with who he played with and handed invites out to the whole preschool for us. Nothing is too much trouble and if you need to talk to the staff they are so helpful and approachable. 5* from our family and more importantly my son. I will be sad to leave in July.

Eastern Green Preschool Playgroup is a lovely setting and my son really enjoys attending. Having owned nurseries myself in the past I looked carefully at where I would choose for my son to attend and I'm really happy with our choice. It's run by caring, very experienced and knowledgeable staff and the children get involved with so many exciting activities as well as fun experiences. They learn so much too as they play and it's a great environment for the little ones. I'd fully recommend the Pre School and thank them for the lovely time my son has there, Jen

My daughter currently attends and my son left to start ‘big school’ last year. We have nothing but positive words to say about this pre-school and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. The staff are wonderful and our daughter absolutely loves it here, she runs in every morning and comes out smiling. She is absolutely thriving and I’ll be upset to leave come July when my youngest graduates!
