We cannot recommend the nursery and pre school enough. Both our children have attended from being babies 11mths and we always felt comfortable and confident leaving them with the nursery staff. Everyone at the nursery is amazing and cares for your child like it was their own. My children are confident, sociable and really ready for their school adventure after finishing here. We can't thank the staff enough for nurturing our children and making us feel at ease along the way. We looked at many nurseries but this felt really homely and comfortable from the moment we walked in.

I cannot recommend hessle pre-school nursery enough. I was very nervous and worried about my then 1 year old and 9 month old starting nursery. They was extremely shy and nervous around strangers. Every member of staff have been wonderful both with the children and me. They take the time to talk to you, reassure you, update you and instantly build an excellent relationship which puts you and the children at ease. The children (now 1 and 2) have settled in so quickly and effortlessly and that is purely down to the amazing staff. They get excited to go to nursery and see their “friends and teachers” they come home with crafts they have made and they are so proud. I no longer have mum guilt because they absolutely love going. The communication is amazing, the updates are regular which is so lovely to know how they are getting on. The nursery itself is so homely, all the staff are accommodating and you can instantly tell they have each child’s best interests at heart. It is the perfect environment for children to gain confidence, learn and develop social skills. There are not enough words to praise the staff at hessle pre-school.
