September 28, 2020 at 12:00 amMy child loves going to nursery only been a week! She walks in without a worry they make her feel very comfortable with them. I like that they send daily photographs of what she is doing, really keeps my mind at ease!

September 28, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son has been growing and developing so quickly in this place. The nursery staff are very professional, attentive and helpful in every way you can possibly imagine. The nursery has an outside space, which is also accessible throughout the day. The snack time is also very beneficial and our son loves to go to nursery every day! The setting is small so staff can concentrate on children more effectively. Our son’s key worker is very communicative and always updates us through the app and face to face with any developments.

October 1, 2020 at 12:00 amWe were nervous to send our daughter to preschool. However, teachers comforted her and now she loves it – even on weekends, she wants to go.
I can see very quick development of my daughters speech, more confident with other children, and every time she comes back from school, she can’t stop telling us about her day.

October 2, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son loves Kester pre-school. He is happy and has a great time there. I feel safe when I leave him there. I appreciate the fact that they send daily reports related to my son’s activities and his personal development including photos and narratives etc. My son’s key worker is so polite and always happy to talk to me about my boy. She is very friendly, caring and professional and has developed a great relationship with my son. The pre-school manager is very organised and communicative with kids and all parents. I strongly recommend the school.

October 6, 2020 at 12:00 amI can’t begin to put into words how incredible the staff at Kester are. They go above and beyond every day, exciting topics, different experiences, genuine care, emotional support and development and so much fun! Water play day, pirate day and healthy eating week have happened just within the last month. My daughter has massively struggled to separate from me and the constant kindness and support from the team, especially the manager, has helped us both. My daughter loves her time there, she loves the staff, and I love how much they have become a part of her childhood.

December 9, 2020 at 12:00 amI chose Kester preschool for my son as he can be a bit shy and I thought a smaller setting would be best for him. Since September he has really grown in confidence and is always very excited to go to preschool. The staff are very friendly and communication with parents is excellent. I really enjoy seeing the updates about my son’s progress. I think the staff try really hard to give the children a fun experience and a variety of activities to take part in. I would definitely recommend this preschool to other parents.

July 7, 2021 at 12:00 amGreat friendly staff, my daughter loves it here. Would highly recommend it. Even though my daughter was unable to go a lot due to covid, she learnt a lot in the time she was there and enjoyed her time there too

April 26, 2022 at 12:00 amAs many parents are, I was very nervous to send my son to preschool though I wanted to do so as a good opportunity for him to mix with other little ones. He has absolutely flourished at Kester. The staff are wonderful with him. They are particularly good at following his lead when it comes to activities and which he wants to take part/not take part in. It’s no wonder when I ask him what he wants to do today he regularly says “Kester Pre-School” and on his days off he begs to go still. I desperately hope there’s space for his sister when she is old enough to go! Would thoroughly recommend!

April 26, 2022 at 12:00 amI cannot thank you enough for everything that my son learnt during his pre-school years. He absolutely loved every day he was there.
I cannot recommend Kester enough .
All the teachers are amazing and the kids love them.

April 28, 2022 at 12:00 amCouldn’t be happier with our choice. My daughter loves every moment spent there. Staff are friendly, caring and professional.
Love how on the app we can see how their day has been. So happy that the right preschool for us is right on our doorstep.

August 9, 2022 at 12:00 amAn amazing preschool. My daughter loved it from day 1, there wasn’t a day she’d wanted to not go. She made some amazing friends with the teachers and the other children. Would highly recommend it to anyone that asks me.

February 1, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter really enjoys coming to Kester and always leaves smiling. So much thought goes into activities and how their learning is supported. Communication is excellent. I highly recommend this setting.

February 1, 2023 at 12:00 amIt’s been almost 2 years that my daughter has been going to Kester Pre-School.
I had no complaints about the preschool or staff. The staff are very friendly and take care of my kid very well. My child is happy going there. I would highly recommend.

February 1, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been here for over a year now and I can’t praise the manager and her team enough. The kids are always happy and smiling at pick-up time. My daughter was massively supported in her transition from nappies to the toilet and continues to build her independence with the help of Kester’s staff.
I would recommend this pre school to everyone, 10/10.

February 6, 2023 at 12:00 amKester have done a wonderful job settling my little boy into preschool, it wasn’t an easy start but less than two weeks in and there is huge improvement with him and he is now starting to enjoy preschool there. They have been amazing keeping me updated with notes and photos throughout his session which has been very comforting. So far, a fantastic start there.

February 20, 2023 at 12:00 amI really appreciate that they teach the necessary life skills to the children, for example letting them prepare for their own snacks. It helps my daughter become more independent and feel confident in what she does in general. When an accident happens the staff report it immediately using the app and they give me a quick explanation for what happened when I collect my daughter. The assessment report was clear and detailed, and the key person clarified what would be the next target for my daughter, which I found vastly useful. The staff frequently post an update about the activities the children did that day with a lot of photos. The staff are friendly and caring yet professional. I feel they embrace the diversity too. My daughter really enjoys her time at Kester Pre-School. Overall I am very happy with Kester Pre-School.

July 14, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Kester Pre-School since she turned two. She runs in at drop offs without so much as a glance back and always has lots of exciting things to tell me about her day at pick up.
The staff are fantastic and keep us well informed of activities, projects and progress via an app. They regularly run special days for the children, many of which parents/family members are invited to, so you get a chance to see how they spend their days.
There are plenty of toys and activities inside and out, and my daughter often comes home with various bits of artwork she has created at nursery. We love Kester Pre-School and are so lucky to have it on our doorstep!

July 17, 2023 at 12:00 amSince starting in January, our daughter has loved being here. The staff are wonderful with her and she’ll often site them as her ‘best friends’ and tell us in glorious detail what she’s been up to. Staff are invested in expanding my daughter’s knowledge and understanding of the world around her, but always at her own pace. I can’t wait for her to enjoy another year before starting primary.

July 30, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Kester Pre-School since she was 2 years old and has just ‘graduated’ heading for Primary School. My daughter has loved every single day and the staff not only care for the children but encourage, teach and play with them. They leave updates with photos on the app and share details about the children’s days. Since attending Kester, I saw my daughter develop skills and learn things that I hadn’t taught her and become knowledgeable on all sorts of subjects. I am so glad I sent her here and am sad that the staff won’t be part of her day anymore.
