Our family will forever cherish the years our children went to Teatimers. It feels like home, the staff treat the children as their own. They are loving, nurturing and always have a smile on their face no matter what. The staff are what make the setting so wonderful and everyday is different they are prepared with activities/ themed days and an excellent outdoor space. Both of my children have developed so much during their time at the preschool and made memories that they still talk about today. My youngest will be leaving this summer but we will continue to use there excellent holiday club! Thank you for everything and helping my boys with their first chapter into school.

Absolutely incredible preschool, the staff are fantastic and treat the children as their own. Teatimers are extremely welcoming and there is such a positive atmosphere everyday without fail. Both our 2 children attended within the past 5 years, both loved it and never wanted to leave. Both grew and developed so much during their time at the setting and their after school wrap around care has been a lifesaver. I highly recommend this preschool and the staff, they are like part of the family. Thanks for everything you have done! Best regards, Jo & Tim

What a preschool! The staff are incredibly caring, supportive, and truly dedicated to each child. The nurturing environment has helped our daughter thrive both socially and emotionally. And above all; the genuine happiness. Marlow Teatimers go above and beyond to create a safe, welcoming space where children feel valued and confident. We cannot recommend Teatimers enough, for a warm, supportive start to early education! Paul & Caroline

We have so many happy memories from Teatimers! I’ve had two children go here- the older one went for two years before reception and just finished reception having achieved in every area, learning all of her phonics, helpful and kind in the classroom with tidying. Teatimers prepared her so so well for school. She bonded so so well with Becky and Becky is still her all time favourite!! I appreciate how my daughter and her peers really really enjoyed crafting and instead of placing limits on this Teatimers was always replenishing art supplies and bringing in different things. My younger one is 2 and just finished her first year at Teatimers. Although they have had different group leaders, she has developed a great bond with Miss Megan and the staff are so great - Gill, Emma. Katie, Jackie and everyone have all gotten to know my little one and she has absolutely thrived here! From sand play to Playball to dance to outings to the neighbourhood play and a trip to the zoo, my daughter has had a brilliant first start to learning. She has progressed so much with her language, nursery rhymes, social skills, handwashing, Teatimers were great supporting her potty training. Clare in the office is incredibly organised and amending times or adding or taking away sessions is dealt with so swiftly and followed up so easily, she makes all of the admin so easy. The new system is great for invoices and seeing updates and is streamlined which what I need to stay organised with other children in school. The sports day and nativity play and coffee mornings have been highlights- so well organised, concise and such a treat to see. Mrs Farrell has a genuine love of little people and she delights in the little things they do and see. I was happy as well that I can tell over time in interactions and conversations about my child that she appreciates the children’s different characters and quirks- definitely not wanting them to conform at all times and become all the same which can happen at different places. Here your child is celebrated and it’s great to see the children making the staff laugh or smile and they really enjoy it. For example I felt comfortable to share things that my child says and they actually want to know them or ask about them and I really like that seeing we don’t have extended family nearby it’s really important that those involved in caring for my children are engaged and give them time and want to be there. They have been kind to us as a large family and even went above and beyond sometimes to help us. I really appreciate that Teatimers have been there for us and I felt supported during major events of our family. All of the older siblings relish in the opportunity to pick up their younger sister and visit Teatimers a few times a year when inset days are different. It is great to keep that connection and pop in and say hi and show how big they are getting and my kids absolutely love that. Here there is a high staff retention- they work so well together as a team and seem to really be friends and know eachother well which has a great impact on the children feeling secure and happy, happy staff happy kids! Overall I am very very confident that my children are well looked after here, well equipped for school, and in a happy place learning and growing. Definitely recommend.
