My 4 children attended this preschool, the quality of care is outstanding. They have great structure to their day, a lovely outside play area and a section of garden for growing fruit and vegetables, learning through play at it's best. A lot of the children go on to attend West Bridgford Infant School so it's a good opportunity for them to make friends they will continue their education with.

My three boys have all attended this preschool and absolutely loved it! The standard of care is amazing. The most important part for me is the warmth, support, and caring nature of all the staff there. It speaks volumes that I know everyone whose children have attended have had the same experience! If you’re in West Bridgford and have a pre schooler I’d highly recommend attending there!

This is such a gorgeous nurturing pre school, both of my girls loved being here. And the ladies that work here are just the best people to have teaching and caring for little ones. We miss being here!
