Hearing their account was extremely concerning. While I cannot verify every detail, any situation that leaves an educator feeling unsupported or disrespected should be taken seriously. Schools should foster environments of professionalism, equity, and respect for both staff and students. I sincerely hope school leadership conducts a thoughtful review of workplace culture and ensures that all staff members are treated with dignity. A healthy environment for educators directly impacts the well-being of the children they serve.

They do an amazing job — so caring, patient, and attentive. It’s never easy leaving such a young baby, but they make it so much easier with their warmth and professionalism.

We really appreciate the regular updates throughout the day, as well as the weekly reports with photos—it’s so lovely to see what she’s been up to and how she’s progressing.

I can’t speak highly enough of the leadership team there (Biljana - Head of Nursery and Lindsay as Deputy Head) - they are always looking for ways to get parents involved, learn and improve the nursery and I truly believe are genuinely invested in creating the best environment possible for all the kids there. There’s also a thoughtful mix of young teachers and older experienced ones in the rooms at all times. The staff all seem to genuinely get on well together and it seems like a family environment at times as staff and parents all get to know and chat with each other. I’m looking forward to watching our boy continue to develop and grow as he moves through pre-school next.
