The knowledgeable special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) knows children's needs well, ensuring concerns are brought to parents' attention quickly and strategies are implemented immediately to close developmental gaps. Staff also support children who speak English as an additional language from the start by learning key phrases in their home languages and using visual aids.

An Awesome well run Nursery which is in a gated and highly secure area for my children. Wonderful and friendly staff and my children always come back happy and can't wait to go back to in the morning.

All of my children have attended Pavilion Prep and have flourished. Staff are friendly and caring. The teaching and learning is outstanding. The nursery is located inside safe grounds of Repton park which is an added bonus! Thank you to all Pavilion staff!

Very disappointed with the overall attitude from the management. Despite several visits and numerous phone calls, the general attitude is not to get back to anyone. I have been told on numerous occasions that someone would call me the next day - but nothing happens. In the last conversation the attitude was "we are not scared of google reviews". A very sad situation for an organisation that has been given "outstanding" by OFSTED.
