    “I have two children at this school, one in Yr. 2 and the other just started Reception having attended the Nursery. Both of them throughly enjoy attending and learning in this environment and it constantly amazes me just how varied their knowledge has become. From day one (2years ago) when there were only 43 4 year olds, to this day of over 250 pupils, there has been a consistent and tenacious focus on delivering the best learning for all of its pupils. The leadership team are warm and welcoming, making themselves highly visible at the school gate and always willing to listen to parents' views or offer advice. They have set out a strong set of values and life skills which are positively reinforced across the school in a consistent way from class teacher to whole assembly. For some of these traits the children are asked to behave like a particular ' Learnasaur ' character such as the Tryasaurus who is always willing to try new things or a Sharadactyl who shares their learning resources. Both my kids have really engaged with this type of encouragement and it is commonplace to hear us talking about them at home. All the staff that have been recruited display a huge passion for delivering the best experience for the children, whether they're dinner ladies, site managers or have office roles. The teaching staff are great and display the same understated professionalism day in day out, they have embraced the opportunity this new school presents and are working well together to deliver a first class education. Mr Butler's musical influences have shown themselves many times over the last couple of years during assemblies and Nativity plays. My personal highlight was last years Year 1 performance which involved the whole year group, lasted over 40 mins and was incredible to watch, it was hard to believe we were watching 6 year olds as the performance level and engagement across the whole group was so strong and mature. Other highlights from last year included the children asking Boris Johnson some tough questions when he visited the school and the Pupils performing their 'Big Dance' at the summer fayre.”

    Glenangels Childcare

    “I moved my daughter from a different setting to join Glenangels three years ago and have not had a single regret since! We aspired for a better, all rounded setting offering outdoor play and lots of stimulation and above all fun, which is everything that Glenangels is! I now also have my younger son there and they both come home bursting with positive energy, and big smiles on their faces every single day. Glenangels is a family run business and you truly feel the family vibe. It is like our children's second home, and we are able to get on with our working day without a single moment of angst or worry. Moreover, the staff there are incredible; not only are they hard working but they also have such a genuine love and care for all the children there.”

    Little hearts pre-school

    “Little Hearts Preschool is absolutely outstanding! Within just a few weeks, I noticed a huge positive change in my son’s confidence, happiness, and manners — he genuinely looks forward to going every day. The staff are professional, caring, and go above and beyond to create a warm, supportive environment. Having previously used local childminders, I can honestly say that the level of care, structure, and learning opportunities at Little Hearts are on a completely different standard. The environment is nurturing, stimulating, and well-organised, and the staff are well-mannered, highly trained and genuinely care about each child’s individual needs and progress. I also love that they use the Tapestry app to share updates and photos — it gives parents real peace of mind. The difference compared to childminders settings is remarkable. My only regret is not sending my older son here. The Little Hearts team is simply outstanding, and I’m so grateful for the support, care, and encouragement they have given my child — truly an amazing preschool!”

    Burgh Wood Montessori Nursery School

    “My little girl has settled in really well here… thanks to the team of amazing teachers here. I was looking for somewhere that offered a balance of fun, play and learning and the way Jo and her team have blended all those components together is nothing less than incredible. Another factor was the menu to Enid’s eat… I’m a health coach and the meals are curated by a child nutritionist and Delilah is eating food that I have tried to implement but without little success … she happily eats sweet and sour chicken, Mexican stew, roast turkey and even salmon and mascarpone pasta! Also the behaviour that I expect from my little one is instilled here to, table manners, kindness, speaking vs shouting have all helped Delilah (a blended little girl of Italian /Irish heritage) getting her behaviour on point. I couldn’t be happier and I’m confident that Delilah’s transition to reception will be seamless thanks to all the preparation that she would have taken”
