Institute in Reading

“Family friendly place , very good to socialise your dog , great instructors and fun lessons. Two months ago my little Hope was attacked by big dog on a walk, she needed help to get her confidence back. With instructors help and being around different dogs its helped a lot. She is better now, not afraid of big dogs anymore. We are getting there! Thanks for your help :) !”

“Our son has had a wonderful time at The Ark! The staff have been so kind and loving and his confidence has come on so much under their care. He has been particularly attached to Anna and Anne and thank you so much to both of them for their amazing work. This has been the best possible start for our son and we know that it will stand him in good stead going forward. If we weren’t moving away, we have no doubt that he would have stayed up until he started school. We would recommend The Ark to anyone wanting thoughtful, engaging and affordable care for their little one. THANK YOU!”

“A really lovely pre school, with amazing staff that you can see love their job. My son has come on so much since going there and loves it. Will be a shame when he has to go to Infant school. Would most definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great Pre School in the area and a nice, safe environment. Keep up the good work!”

“Today, with my business Immersive Theatres, I delivered a 5m digital planetarium experience to 170 Nursery to Year 4 pupils at Our Lady's Preparatory School. I was warmly welcomed by the staff and found the hall prepared just as I had requested. The day was well organised with all groups arriving on time. The excited but well-behaved students enjoyed a rich selection of content: peering up at the planetarium night sky; visiting the International Space Station; handling a famous meteorite and learning about the Solar System, the various types of stars and a future colonised Moon. Thank you Our Lady's Prep School for a very pleasant visit.”

“Today, with my business Immersive Theatres, I delivered a 5m digital planetarium experience to 90 Year 1-4 students of Streatley Primary School. I was made to feel very welcome by Hilary and her colleagues. The excited but well-behaved students were the highlight for me, brimming with knowledge about the Solar System. Thank you Streatley Primary School for a very pleasant visit.”

“My husband and I can not recommend Wise Owls at Foxley enough, we have sent both our 4 year old boy and 2 year old girl to this nursery since they were only 9 months old and they have both thrived. We will be so sad in September that Arlo will be going to school but the nursery have got him totally prepared and he feels confident to start. We luckily do not have to say goodbye yet as out daughter will be here for the next two years. In my opinion such a lovely friendly nursery and the Staff are the absolute BEST. THANK YOU! Lucy and Oscar”

“Incredible little preschool and the most wonderful staff! Couldn’t recommend enough. The staff have worked wonders with my little boy he really has blossomed since being at mini oaks. Natalie,Olivia and Emily quite literally the dream team. The warmest friendliest environment a space for little ones to shine. I wish I found this preschool sooner! It’s a very emotional goodbye from us x”

“I use to go to the avenue school i do miss be going there”

“Happitots Day Nursery Winnersh has been an incredible choice for our family, and I am thrilled to share that this is my second child attending this nursery. My elder child spent three wonderful years here, and I was thoroughly impressed with the care, learning, and preparation they received for school. The management and staff are exceptional, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that helps children grow in confidence and develop essential skills. From the Nest to Pioneer to Preschool stages, the team ensures a smooth progression tailored to each child’s needs. Seeing the positive impact this nursery had on my elder child, I had no hesitation in enrolling my second child, and I am equally satisfied with their progress. Happitots Day Nursery truly goes above and beyond in fostering a love for learning and preparing children for their next steps in life. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for their children. It’s simply the best!”

“Amazing for confidence and progression in performing arts.”

“Seems like a good school but I don't know if it does photography courses as I will be going in to year 11 another year”

“I can't recommend the preschool enough. My daughter goes there, and she comes back home happy and tired from playing all day with the great and diverse activities provided by the teachers. I've seen significant progress in her development. She's never bored there, and the teachers are lovely.”

“Son and daughter have attended Funtime for the last year and a bit, I couldn't be happier with the way they have been looked after. They enjoy going and are definitely learning lots which will help them out when school age arrives.”

“Looks a bit manky from outside, but of all the nurseries my kids have been to, this is by the far the best.”
