My son has just finished attending Gumboots and I can honestly say this is the best, most nurturing and caring preschool - I wish I had moved him there earlier! The variety of engaging experiences and activities has been amazing and has vastly developed his confidence in different situations. The parent involvement has been amazing, it’s been so special having various events parents can some to. I can’t rate the staff highly enough, they really get to know your child and make you feel they aren’t just a number, then genuinely care. We are going to miss you!

Outstanding preschool! The children are well cared for, their needs are always met and they provide the most unique and amazing experiences. I can’t believe how quickly they got to know my daughter and how comfortable they made her feel. They’ve been so supportive of our whole family and always made us feel at ease and confident in their abilities to care for our daughter. I couldn’t thank them enough for providing my daughter with such a positive experience for the start of her school journey. Thank you so much to every single one of the ladies for being so amazing!

I could not recommend Gumboots & Roots pre-school highly enough! My daughter is coming to an end of her time with the wonderful team there and she has enjoyed every minute. The attention to detail shown by the team and the themed activities on offer every day of the week are exemplary. I have had no qualms at drop-off as I know my daugter is so happy there and raring to join in the fun. We will miss the team at GB&R very much!

Cannot fault Kerry, Pam or any of the staff at pre-school! They go above and beyond for the children and us parents. Would highly recommend gumboots and roots, my daughters confidence has grown lots as well as her learning, communication and everything else.

Gumboots and Roots Pre-School is a fantastic place for little ones to learn and play. My older son loves going and we can't wait for his little brother to start there soon. Everyone is super friendly and caring and Kerry puts a lot of thought into every detail to make sure that it is a safe and fun environment for children to learn, grow and explore. We particularly love the big garden area which is fabulous for outdoor play and learning about nature. There are always lots of fun activities for the children to take part in and everyone is well looked after by the lovely pre-school teachers. I can highly recommend Gumboots to anyone!
