Private school in Derby

“Absolutely fantastic swimming school! Our daughter has gained so much confidence with these lessons and she is visibly excited when we arrive at the building. I cannot recommend Sarah and her team enough - brilliant energy in the lessons and great facilities.”

“My children have been attending Thornhill for over a year now and I honestly can’t talk highly enough of the setting. The nursery is a clean, open and airy setting with an incredible outside area and well laid out rooms containing perfect age appropriate toys catering to both the youngest and the oldest of the rooms. The beautiful setting aside, the staff at thornhill are truly what makes it. I was incredibly anxious to start my children at nursery… it takes me a while to warm to new settings especially trusting them with my children and honestly? I was sold the moment I had spoken to the angels as I now call them (because seriously, anyone who can make my oldest try new food and my youngest sleep is an angel). Every single member of staff is lovely, they have no issues answering any questions you may have and the love they have for your children shows when they greet them in the morning. Both my children are polar opposites so I feel it’s important to pass comment that they cater to every child’s needs. Olivia, the nursery manager is truly incredible. I have sought her advice a lot in the past 6 months and she’s always given me honest advice and opinions which is so valued because of her years of expertise. As a parent, I don’t know everything and it’s nice to get outside input from someone who has plenty of experience with all kinds of children!”

“The team here are truly amazing. They have made the whole process so easy and will take out as much time as you need to discuss any worries you might have. I love the feedback at the end of the day and look forward to hearing about everything he has done. All the girls are so kind and really care about all the children and my son loves talking about all of the ladybird staff when we are home. Their menu is great and it has made it a little easier at home with trying things he didn't always like to eat.”
