    Their provision overall is outstanding, kids are stimulated and highly well cared for. Updates with parents is outstanding, both at the gate and through the app they use. The team are thoughtful professionals who are interested in the kids.
    Our older kid did one year in the setting aged 3-4 and in the first term in autumn, the team recognised he would have trouble in school without some dedicated help. They helped us apply for an education, health and care plan and that combined with conversations we had has been invaluable in helping us assistance him into and through the beginning of school as an autistic kid.
    Our other kid (2-4) had difficult phases that many kids journey, as he developed his social skills. The managers, key workers and other team were attentive and sensible and worked with us to help him and he’s now excited to start school soon! 10/10, exceptional place. We have just finished three years with our two kids at Ladywell Preschool and I suggest it highly highly.

    It is such a inviting and nurturing setting. The team go over and beyond to ensure the kids are cheerful and have access to a wealth of activities that change regularly, encouraging all areas of their development. Updates with parents is outstanding and my son is thriving there. My son has just started his second year in the Pre School.

    From her first day, my daughter has loved it there and is already looking forward to returning in September. The indoor and outdoor spaces are large and beautifully decorated. The activities are stimulating and creative, and usually involve wooden toys or natural objects to encourage the kids to engage with their setting. And there are special themed days (such as winter pyjama day!) which my daughter loves. Best of all are the team, who are all bright, enjoyable and attentive. It has surpassed all my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with Ladywell Pre-school.

    During both of their times there the pre school felt like a unique find. Many of the team have been there for a long time and changeover is highly low, and they are all exceptional and attentive. I was consistently impressed by the different activities they set out each day, never seeming to run out of ideas and often responding to things the kids particularly liked or are interested in. One of my sons took a long time to settle and they dealt with that so well and helped him to become confident and cheerful there. And they are highly welcoming to parents, you can drop the kids off quickly or stay for a bit in the mornings, they are cheerful to have parents around and involved so you truly sense you know the setting your kid is in. I couldn’t suggest the pre school highly enough. Two of my sons have attended this pre school, two years apart.

    The team are incredible, which made the settling in process highly smooth and there are plenty of updates on your kid’s development, as well as all the enjoyable they are having. One of the excellent things about the Pre-school is the large outdoor area with lots of activities for the kids to delight in. The team are consistently coming up with creative ways for the kids to learn which is just one of the reasons why I would highly suggest Ladywell Pre-school to anyone looking for a inviting, creative, welcoming setting with a remarkable team. My kid has attended Ladywell Pre-school for almost a year now and we could not be happier.

    The nurturing setting, dedicated educators and enriching curriculum have exceeded our expectations. Our kid has blossomed academically, socially and emotionally under the guidance of the outstanding team. The individualized attention and strong parent-teacher updates have made us sense involved and supported. We wholeheartedly suggest Ladywell Preschool for its commitment to providing an exceptional preschool journey. Ladywell Preschool has been an absolute gem for our kid.

    My kid has just finished two years here and has thrived. The manager is passionate about discovering, full of adore for the kids and incredibly hard working, and the kids benefit from a attentive, funny, committed team of team who make it their business to know the kids and deliver discovering and growth in a variety of ways. As well as an apparently low churn of team, one of the keys to its success is an unusually strong relationship with parent/carer community (who are also welcome to get involved). I consistently look forward to the detailed weekly coverage and photos of what the kids have been up to and I adore that so much of it is led by the kids themselves. The large outside space is lovely, varied and full of nature; there is a garden where the kids grow their own vegetables – and also cook and eat them. The kids prepare food regularly and mine has got pretty into woodwork since he started it there. I cannot suggest this tucked-away pre-school highly enough.

    My son absolutely loves attending and couldn’t be happier. The team are incredible and consistently thinking of enjoyable, creative ways to engage the kids. Highlights include wizard day, harvest showdown hoedown and lemon day. I also adore their sustainable ethos, the nature reserve and the huge outdoor space. I can’t suggest Ladywell Pre-school enough. Ladywell Pre-school is such a special place.

    I’ve had 3 kids and used many childcare solutions, however, I absolutely adore this place.
    The team are remarkable, inviting and attentive with an outstanding balance on fostering great behaviour.
    They are so creative with the activities and truly nurture the kids’s imaginations.
    I cannot suggest this preschool enough.
    It’s a fantastic setting for them. Ladywell pre-school is simply the BEST childcare centre!

    After trialling a few different nurseries within the area we finally found the perfect setting, I only wish we had found it sooner. The team truly over-invest in making the setting an inclusive and secure space for all kids, building strong and independently minded after their time at Ladywell preschool. No day is the same and our son has certainly thrived in experiencing a wide range of topics throughout the school year, certainly has mastered the exceptional basics (name writing, counting, etc) but also developed a real passion for the setting and randomly, woodwork! You should put your kids into preschool here, they’ll be so loved. What a truly magical year our son has had before starting reception at a school nearby.

    The space is excellent, the structure perfect and he has grown so much. The thing that makes this place 5* for me are the team. They are so well‑informed, passionate, committed and attentive. They go above and beyond with all activities that are consistently kid-led. They have fantastic connections with the local community including the care home opposite and have made my son perfectly ready for school. My oldest son stayed in his private childcare centre until he started school, the final few terms were truly painful as he’d outgrown the setting. My youngest who attended Ladywell Pre-school, and is an October kid never didn’t want to go and was consistently stimulated and excited to engage in the age-appropriate activities.
    Although the hours are tricky (9-3:30) and we had to get an afterschool nanny, it was worth the hassle and our son is, without doubt, better off for attending this year. My youngest son attended Ladywell Pre-school from September 2022 and it has been the most fantastic journey.

    Both my daughters have attended Ladywell Pre-school
    and I will be truly sad to say goodbye on my youngest’s last day this week. It is a inviting, welcoming, welcoming setting and my daughter often comes out saying “best day ever”. The updates is exceptional; we get updates through the famly app and it’s excellent seeing what the kids are up to – and it’s all much more enjoyable than they would have at home! And they are discovering too – from social skills to pencil skills. My daughter also knows a long list of Makaton signs, counts to 5 in Spanish and has been surprising us with some Italian words! If you are looking for a compassionate and attentive setting for your kid, I wouldn’t hesitate to get in touch! Ladywell Pre-school is a special place.

    It provides a exceptional provision, with loads of opportunities to playtime outside and so many varied activities. The manager and her team have gone above and beyond when my son was settling and through his time there, now helping to prepare him for starting school in September. There is a consistency in team too which shows it is a cheerful place and benefits the kids lots. They clearly know all the kids truly well and have created a calm, cheerful place. It is a unique setting and I sense so lucky to have found it. I would suggest it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for childcare in the Ladywell area. My son has been at Ladywell Preschool for 18 months and has thrived there.

    The manager and her team go above and beyond to ensure my daughter is well cared for and has the most incredible time. Her days are filled with enjoyable and lots of creativity. The outdoor space is exceptional and we adore the fact that access to the garden is free-flowing. I’m already dreading the day my daughter leaves as I know both of us will miss our time at Ladywell. I would definitely suggest this Pre-School to anyone. As a family, we all adore Ladywell Pre-School.

    We are so cheerful with her journey at Ladywell – the team are incredible, and work so hard to ensure that the kids are stimulated, having enjoyable, and discovering all the time. Parents are kept up to date on their kid’s development via the Famly app, where photos, updates and development against key stages are reported. It’s a remarkable preschool, with remarkable team. I cannot suggest it enough! My kid has attended Ladywell Pre-school since September 2019 and loves it.

    Our little girl has had a fantastic journey, we have seen her grow in self‑assurance, have loads of enjoyable, explore new playtime opportunities, try new things and develop friendships. But what gives Ladywell Preschool its ‘magic dust’ is the grounded, hardworking and attentive team. This is a team who celebrate kids’s ideas, encourage kindness to each other, nature and the wider world, they see the beauty in everyday moments such as a kid waving goodbye to their parents, jumping in puddles or joining in snack time for the first time. They, then quietly but confidently challenge the kid to the next steps in their growth and development. We sense beyond lucky to have had this fantastic journey at Ladywell Preschool, we cannot suggest this setting highly enough. Our only regret in moving is that we cannot take Ladywell Preschool with us. Ladywell Pre-school is a rare find, a combination of a well-thought-through setting that is both natural and calming, taking its influence from the outdoors and a wonderous team.

    The team are incredible and the days are filled with enjoyable, imaginative (and often hilarious!) activities built around the kids’s interests and the time of year. The manager and her team are a remarkable and hard-working team, and we couldn’t be happier with this childcare centre. Ladywell Pre-school is a inviting and nurturing setting, and my son has truly blossomed in the year he’s been there.

    Now he is a sociable boy, talking about the team and friends, even when he is not there! The best choice I ever made to choose this childcare centre! I’ll suggest with an open heart! My son used to be a shy boy, not talking before going to the childcare centre and meeting the lovely and excellent team!

    It’s kid-led – they do the most incredible things based on what the kids are interested in (building a unicorn world for example). There is free flow indoor to outdoor playtime and a lovely garden. They do cooking and crafts – our daughter has absolutely flourished there. We truly could not suggest it enough and will be sad to leave. Ladywell Pre-school is a truly special place.

  • Parker Brooks

    Every day there are new incredible activities for the kids to explore, often inspired by conversations with the kids themselves. My daughter has thrived in this fantastic setting and I sense so grateful that she is able to spend her early years there. I can not suggest the childcare centre more, it is such a inviting, engaging, creative, attentive setting.
