Institute in Reading

“My children have been coming here for over 4 years now and we are very happy with the school. The teachers are fantastic, it's a nurturing environment - which also benefits from the capped smaller class sizes. I recommend going on a tour as you get a real feel for the place. It's a real hidden gem!”

“My son is here and loves it. Just wonderful, kind, structured and fun. A very happy place x”

“Wonderful small independent primary school with caring, conscientious staff. Highly recommended.”

“Like most buildings of the University of Reading, Whiteknights house is an organized and looked after building with friendly staff.”

“Great school would highly recommend this school”

“I can not rate this nursery and Pre School enough. I have had both my children attend here from when they were 2 till the time they attended infant school. The staff are amazing, professional and caring. The support they provided our family was immense over the year's. The staff turn over is very low which I think speaks volumes for the effectiveness of the management team, the staff attitudes to their work ethos and the working environment. The staff care and love the children so much, they are knowledgeable and they understand SEN too. You can tell they love their jobs. The children are happy and my 2 speak so fondly of the place and their teachers. They both still wish they were back there. The grounds are absolutely amazing and was one of the many reasons I chose this nursery/preschool for my children. Great place and I have many happy memories of Stockton House.”

“James is an extremely knowledgeable teacher who has helped me so much with my playing over the past few years. I would have never thought I would be able to achieve as much as I have through playing guitar, and most of that is down to James's guidance. He is able to play anything you want to learn and make each lesson thoroughly enjoyable, and is always able to answer any questions. In addition, one of the (many) great things about James's lessons are his annual student concerts, where you are able to gain experience of playing in a real band and perform in front of an audience. Thanks again James :)”

“A fantastic local school, very well supported by its community with a great dedicated staff all round!”

“A GREAT PLACE to be and for younger ones to step, the world of studies...”

“Wonderful playgroup with friendly and caring staff.”

“My daughter had a wonderful time at Heatherside pre-school. The staff are kind, caring, helpful, and engaging. They approach every child with respect and treat them as responsible individuals, providing them warm and nurturing environment. I highly recommend Heatherside pre-school for any parent looking for supportive and caring setting.”

“Today, with my business Immersive Theatres, I delivered a 5m digital planetarium experience to 120 Reception and Year 5 pupils at The Hawthorns Primary School. I was warmly welcomed by the staff, found the hall prepared just as I had requested and was brought a mug of tea. The morning 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 and travelling through a future Solar System colonised by humans. Thank you The Hawthorns Primary for a very pleasant visit.”

“I loved going every day to the school”

“A very good school, my son and my daughter loved going there every morning, teachers are cheerful and experienced”

“The teachers are great . I am really pleased with her progress. And i am pleased with the person she is becoming.”

“My son loved coming to this pre school and he came on so much with his speech and learning despite him only being there for 7 months before leaving to go onto primary school. 100% recommend this pre school.”

“An amazing place for children to explore and be in touch with nature, my son loves it!”

“Special needs play scheme. Amazing place, friendly knowledgeable staff.”

“Amazing school - my daughter has been here since she was 2, and is now about to go into year 3. She loves every second.”

“My little boy loves going to Little Monsters. The staff have been amazing at ensuring he’s settled in well and put things in place to ensure he is comfortable after he’s been off for a period of time. For example, ensuring his key worker comes to greet him at the door. He always comes home with arts and crafts and we get updates on what he’s been eating, how long he’s slept, nappy changes and his golden moments. We’re so glad we chose Little Monsters!”

“Lovely team of people and a great environment for children.”
