February 24, 2023 at 12:00 amThis nursery has brought my child out of his shell. They have made his confidence grow and grow. They are so polite and approachable. My son really looks forward to going to nursery as he loves the themes and activities that they learn him. Really good nursery.

February 24, 2023 at 12:00 amSt Mark’s is a wonderful preschool: staff are attentive, activities are engaging and routines are in place to support all children.
Our son has been attending St Mark’s for a year and we have been so happy with his overall experience here. He has built great relationships with the staff and has enjoyed doing so many different activities and learning about different topics.
The communication between preschool and home is a real plus for us – we are kept up to date with regular posts and photos from preschool and our son loves when we send photos in from home and his teachers chat with him about those.

February 24, 2023 at 12:00 amOustanding team of people in warming, homely and safe setting. Our daughter loves going in and taking part in the activities, learning and group sessions. We have seen her move on in leaps and bounds following an exceedingly challenging year, all driven by the care and attention to detail St Mark’s delivers day in, day out. Communication is fantastic through tapestry and face-to-face, we get daily updates on full preschool activities and focused reports on our daughter.
There is a true family feel around the team and the community of family/guardians whose children attend. In my personal opinion, the level of commitment and passion the team has for the development and well being of the children is second to none, and could not imagine our daughter being anywhere else. We found St Mark’s following their previous recognition for outstanding performance and now fully appreciate how hard the team work to achieve those standards, which now show in how well our daughter is doing in all aspects.

February 24, 2023 at 12:00 amIf you are looking for an outstanding preschool for your child then look no further than St Mark’s! They have fantastic indoor and outdoor provision and an excellent early years curriculum but above all each and every member of staff treats and cares for our daughter like one of their own children. My daughter loves her teachers and I can tell they love her too. St Mark’s provides a fantastic range of activities for the children and everything is well documented using the tapestry app so parents can see what their child has been doing or learning each day! Parents are also invited to regular stay and play sessions where your child leads you into what they have been learning and enjoying about preschool currently and it’s also an opportunity to gain even more feedback and updates about your child from their key person. If I had to describe St Mark’s in 3 words it would be Friendly, Child-Centred, Outstanding!
We will also be sending our youngest when she’s ready. We love St Mark’s!

February 24, 2023 at 12:00 amA fantastic pre school, the staff have always been very supportive with the needs of my daughter.
Struggling with mild health conditions she has required a little extra support.
We are lucky to have had this pre school recommended to us and join its lovely family.

February 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child started attending St Mark’s Pre-school in March 2022, since joining his confidence has come on so much. He absolutely loves going to this nursery so much so, he doesn’t want to leave. The nursery always keep me informed of how he is getting on and what he has been up to that day. The staff are lovely here and will always go above and beyond. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

I love this place and would recommend to any parent.

All the staff are brilliant and always keep me up to date with how he is getting on and all the fun activities they are doing. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amI absolutely cannot recommend this school to anyone any more than I already have! It is an amazing school! My child always leaves with a smile on his face and loves to go to school! It’s the best school I have heard of!

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery – can’t recommend it enough. 2nd of my children to go here, and I will be sending my 3rd once she’s old enough too! Fantastic at getting the older kids prepared for primary school and making learning fun. My daughter gets sad when she needs to come home; she would stay all night if she could!

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing nursery, with really friendly and helpful staff. My son has grown so much since starting at St Mark’s. He has learnt alot of new words and manners and made new friends, which have been great for him. I highly recommend this nursery and would love to keep using it in the future if I have any more children. Thank you, St Mark’s!

March 6, 2023 at 12:00 amSt Mark’s is an incredible nursery. Both my daughters have attended, with my youngest currently in her final year. The women at the nursery go above and beyond for every child. They are so child-centred; I always knew my children were in good hands. At the age of three, I could have moved my daughters to the nursery connected to their school, but they had both progressed so much during their time at the nursery, I didn’t think anywhere was better for them than St Mark’s. They have had amazing experiences thanks to the manager and the team, but the most important thing for me, as a parent, is how happy they are going in. They both absolutely loved it there. My oldest says she wishes she could go back, and that is the true impact St Mark’s has had. I will be truly sorry when my youngest daughter leaves for school, but I will continue to recommend this nursery as I believe it is by far one of the best in St Helens. I can never truly thank the ladies for all they’ve don’t for my daughters.

March 11, 2023 at 12:00 amGreat nursery with friendly staff who go above and beyond with the children by planning lovely activities to celebrate Pancake Day, Chinese New Year or Valentine’s Day. Updates of pictures are rest to see what they have been getting up to. My child has really settled into a warm and welcoming environment, and with support from staff can reach her full potential there. Family members have already noticed a difference and have commented on how lovely the nursery is when dropping off and talking to the staff. Would highly recommend this nursery to others.

March 11, 2023 at 12:00 amThree of my grandchildren have attended St Mark’s Pre-School, with two of them currently attending. I think St Mark’s is a lovely Pre-School, and my granddaughters love it here. All the staff are very welcoming.

March 11, 2023 at 12:00 amThis preschool is amazing. My son has come on so much since starting, and he goes in with a smile and comes home telling me about his day. It’s like home-to-home – amazing. This school is so supportive and talks through everything that your child is learning. Stay and play events. Updated, and the room is so inviting. Staff work hard and always welcomes us through the doors. Amazing team!

March 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been at St Mark’s since April 2022, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t want anyone else to look after my child. All the staff are so thoughtful and caring, and my little girl loves being there. My mind is at ease knowing my baby is in safe hands. If I could rate them higher than five stars, I would, as they truly deserve it.

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amSince starting at St Mark’s in September, my daughter’s knowledge has excelled, she is so settled and happy, and the girls are fantastic! Staff always go above and beyond and make learning fun! She looks forward to coming to the nursery every morning.
