November 23, 2015 at 12:00 amStaff are amazing, really feels like home from home for my daughters. Having had a few difficulties with times and dates they are always trying to help. I don’t know that I’d do without the nursery staff. They are outstanding!

December 3, 2015 at 12:00 amOur daughter enjoys her time at Highfield Priory Preschool very much. She developed great relationships with her teachers and other staff members and had very caring support during her transition from nursery to preschool. She shows great interest in the versatile activities that are offered to her and has developed a lot in her time at Highfield Priory.
The ratio of staff to pupils seems to be at times very low, which seems to have an effect on the supervision the children receive at preschool. Besides this I would fully recommend this school as our daughter loves going here and shows great skills that favour her future development.

April 18, 2018 at 12:00 amMy child has been attending the Nursery since January this year and the staff, facilities and care have been nothing but fantastic. My daughter settled straight away and is always happy to be dropped off with her keyperson Miss Kidd, who she loves. The Nursery is so stimulating and always something different happening every session she is in which we get to see on the emailed weekly reports.

February 18, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son first started Highfield at 6 months old … I was so worried leaving him so young, the nursery has been nothing but amazing as my son is now 3 years and 4 months old. He has come on leaps and bounds ever since he started Highfield, the teachers are all exceptional and he speaks about all of them and how fun his day was every time he arrives home! Thank you Highfield I highly recommend you to anybody wanting a perfect nursery for their child.

February 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at the nursery since she was 2. The nursery has been fantastic, and she absolutely loves it. I can’t fault anything, she loves the teachers and all the activities on offer. I only wish I had sent her sooner.

March 4, 2021 at 12:00 amHighfield Priory Nursery and School, Preston offers a wonderful, personal and caring environment for my child. He loves going to nursery school. Every day he comes home and says “I have fun at my school Mum” with his little group of friends. They do lots of indoors and outdoor activities and he especially enjoys their adventure walks in the woods and watching the birds. The nursery staff are professional and are so supportive with his development – he started nursery when he was nine months and is now three years old. My child is confident and expressive.

March 5, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is an excellent nursery. I have enrolled both of my children here and my eldest has stayed on to go to the school. Both children love it and in turn that makes me very happy and confident in my choice.

March 5, 2021 at 12:00 amLovely friendly nursery with a small homely feel to children’s surroundings. Friendly staff, who are flexible and accommodating with varying childcare needs. My two year old daughter loves attending and her days there are always full of varied activities.

March 5, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son first joined the nursery during the current pandemic and therefore I was a little concerned at how he would settle in as I wasn’t able to enter the building etc. However, my concerns were quickly alleviated; he loves his time at the nursery and the relationships he has formed with both the adults and children are wonderful, there’s no doubt that the staff care for the children and do their upmost to support their academic and social development. His speech has come on a great deal and I love the range of activities the children engage in from the outdoor space, to baking, art and crafts and dance lessons to name but a few. A fantastic environment and space for little ones to grow and develop.

March 5, 2021 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery my son loved his time there before pre-school. The staff were fantastic and it was a great nurturing atmosphere for children to develop. The variety of activities both indoor and outdoor each day was fantastic! My son would run in every day.

March 8, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my daughters have attended Highfield Priory Nursery and School, Preston since they were six months old. My youngest is still going, currently five days a week and loves it. The staff are wonderfully caring and dedicated, yet honest about what kind of day the children have had. I am able to work every day knowing my daughters are cared for and stimulated to a high standard, with a wide range of activities including many outdoors and forestry types of tasks.

March 12, 2021 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery with fantastic members of staff and brilliant facilities. My girls have always absolutely loved coming. Great ‘wrap-around’ care with an easy transition into preschool and school. A ten out of ten from us.

March 18, 2021 at 12:00 amHighfield Priory Nursery and School, Preston is like a home from home for my two children who attend. My little boy has been there from twelve months old and is now in the preschool and he really enjoys all the activities, including p.e,dancing and Forrest school. My little girl has also attended since she was twelve months old and she’s now in nursery. She loves all the activities and learning experiences on offer, especially the messy play and splashing in the puddles with her friends. All the staff are very experienced, very friendly and make you feel super welcome. I would highly recommend Highfield Priory Nursery and School, Preston to anyone.

March 24, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Highfield Priory Nursery and School, Preston since she was eleven months old, she is now three and a half years. The nursery staff have always been fantastic with the care they provide her with and the support they offer to my partner and I. We are always very confident that she is being well looked after and cared for. My daughter settled in very quickly and it’s clear to see how much she enjoys her days there. The activities offered to the children really do give them the opportunity to embrace all their senses. Receiving the ‘focus week’ reports with photos gives me an insight into how much fun my daughter and her friends have together. The forest school activities are by far her favourite, she loves being outside with her friends in the woods learning new skills, making dens and learning about nature. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the nursery to others. It offers fantastic opportunities for children to achieve their potential.

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amA fantastic nursery, with caring and excellent staff who have been looking after my son for the last year and a half. He loves going to nursery because he always has fun. I can see how my son’s skills, awareness and personality have developed since joining.
