Could not fault this pre school my daughter absolutely loved it, since starting school all she asks is if she can go back to Olive tree and I honestly wish she could! ALL of the staff are incredible and go above and beyond for the children I couldn't have wished for a better pre school for my daughter. Would absolutely recommend this pre school for anyone trying to choose one. you would not be disappointed
