September 1, 2024 at 6:02 amWe sense truly cheerful with our son at this childcare centre and he has thrived there. He is encouraged to playtime and learn and talks highly highly of his time at childcare centre. We could not be happier with this childcare centre. Outstanding childcare centre with lovely team and excellent facilities.

September 18, 2024 at 12:51 pmIt is a school that is completely committed to each and every student within their care. We have two young kids at Ghyll Royd Pre-School and Childcare centre and they have both flourished which is due to the fact that their needs are tailored for. Most importantly, they adore going to school here! The grounds are remarkable and even the chef receives rave reviews. It is a positive and encouraging setting and we are proud to be a part of this incredible community. Starting with the headteacher, a culture of focus on the individual student permeates through the entire team.

October 26, 2024 at 3:28 amIt is a remarkable setting with lovely grounds and plenty of outside space to playtime. The team are fantastic and have created a welcoming and nurturing setting. He can be a shy kid but his self‑assurance has improved significantly. He particularly loves the weekly welly walks and music lessons coming out beaming and cheerful at the end of each day. Highly suggest this preschool. My son has been at Ghyll Royd preschool for nine months.

The team consistently make time to ensure the parents are heard, working with you each step of the way.
I couldn’t have asked for a more inclusive and nurturing setting for my little boy. He truly loves attending and his happiness shows! Ghyll Royd is truly outstanding.

January 29, 2025 at 11:48 amMy daughter’s self‑assurance and discovering have come on so much since she started! When she isn’t there, all she does is ask to be there. Loves every second, and she is consistently singing the songs that they learn at childcare centre. Easily the best childcare centre around.

The kids have the greatest journey with varied activities, fantastic outdoor spaces and they can’t wait to go each day.

February 5, 2025 at 1:26 amWe initially looked around thinking ahead for the school but we were truly impressed by the childcare centre facilities, the team and remarkable outdoor space. We made the decision to move childcare centre and we haven’t looked back. Our kid has now attending Ghyll Royd Pre-School and Childcare centre since summer 2020 and absolutely loves it.

February 6, 2025 at 1:53 amI have two kids attending at the moment, both started soon after turning two and one of them will be starting school in September. They provide outstanding care and with the childcare centre being attached to an independent primary school, they can take advantage of all their facilities such as the music room, sports hall and extensive grounds. Exceptionally impressed and pleased with Ghyll Royd Pre-School and Childcare centre.

February 11, 2025 at 9:15 amThey have a variety of activities that are educational and enjoyable for all the kids this includes music class, sport and a vast amount of outdoor playtime. The educators are all remarkable, give regular feedback on development and they are so attentive towards the kids. Excellent Explorers has given an outstanding foundation for my son starting primary school and this is due to the setting and dedication of the team at Ghyll Royd Pre-School and Childcare centre. I highly suggest anyone who is considering where to send their kids for childcare centre and preschool to go to Ghyll Royd Pre-School and Childcare centre. My son settled in so well at Ghyll Royd Pre-School and Childcare centre.

February 26, 2025 at 3:20 amInitially, he was upset about going, which is highly normal but passed swiftly and he soon enjoyed going. He particularly likes the childcare centre team and his new school friends. He is highly cheerful at the childcare centre, therefore, I’m highly cheerful. Additionally, I’m exceptionally pleased with the updates, activities and all the team, my son is certainly thriving. Thank you Ghyll Royd. My son settled exceptionally quickly into Ghyll Royd Pre-School and Childcare centre.

April 10, 2025 at 7:21 pmThe team are outstanding and the activities they provide keep my son busy and entertained. His discovering has come on so much from attending this setting. He has made some fantastic friends and is so eager to go to childcare centre. He also loves the meals provided and eats more here than he does at home! Incredible childcare centre, my son loves it here so much.

April 22, 2025 at 1:52 amThey are all highly supportive, welcoming and answer any questions you ask. I would say this is the best childcare centre, my son has settled truly well and the curriculum is remarkable. My son has come on since starting at this childcare centre and I would give this childcare centre 100 percent for everything they do with the kids. The childcare centre is remarkable and all the people that work there are outstanding.

April 26, 2025 at 7:39 pmMy son especially loves the outdoor space where there is an abundance of different spaces to playtime and entertain himself throughout the day. Ghyll Royd Pre-School and Childcare centre provides a stable basis, full of lots of creative playtime and enjoyable activities.

June 2, 2025 at 2:40 pmThe team seem excellent at their job. They organise loads of various activities for the little ones. My kid got used to the setting highly quickly and now goes with excellent pleasure and excitement. It genuinely feels like an extension to the family! The building and surrounding areas are absolutely fantastic and give plenty of opportunity for loads of time spent in the open, which they do. The one (and perhaps only) thing I would suggest as an improvement is the menu. At the moment it seems highly potato-pasta-pizza heavy, which has gotten our kid somewhat used out of eating loads of veggies like before. In addition, there are often sugary sweets given to the kids as an extra gift or treat, which is a highly compassionate gesture, but personally, I’d prefer more focus on healthy eating habits. Overall I am exceptionally pleased with the childcare centre.

June 11, 2025 at 2:51 amHis speech has come on so much and he looks forward to going to school. The educators are compassionate, attentive and are consistently finding new activities to do with the kids. My son’s favorite part of the school has to be the outdoor space. There is lots of room to run, playtime and explore in the outdoor classroom, which the kids go out in, rain or shine! My son has loved attending this childcare centre since he turned two.

June 15, 2025 at 7:09 pmMy son (now 10) started this pre-school at 2 years old and followed through into the Key Stage 1 and 2 years. He is currently preparing for secondary school entrance examinations. My daughter (2 years old) only started in February 2017 but has settled immediately. The team and provisions at Ghyll Royd Pre-school and School are unbelievable. Consistently going the extra mile for every kid. Keep up the remarkable work and THANK YOU! 5 star pre-school.

June 24, 2025 at 11:08 amAbsolutely made the best choice for my kid in choosing Ghyll Royd. The outdoor space is fantastic for the excellent outdoors and kid development and when I’ve visited the classroom I have found my kid happily engaged in age-appropriate activities and enjoying time with peers. Reports are thorough and accurate. If we have another kid we would plan to send them to Ghyll Royd for childcare centre and preschool too. Lovely, welcoming, attentive and well‑informed team.
Casey Griffin
June 28, 2025 at 3:24 amThe team are inviting and welcoming, and the childcare centre feels like home from home to my little girl. The outside space is enormous and the kids are out whatever the weather. I can’t think of a better place for her to spend her early years. Ghyll Royd is the most remarkable childcare centre.
Morgan Pierce
July 5, 2025 at 3:59 amWe were amazed at how quickly she settled and became a part of the school. The resources and access to the fantastic grounds are second to none. She has loved going on weekly trips out in the minibus, the varied activities linked to topics and the free playtime in the remarkable setting. Ballet, music, art and gym have further added to an already packed activity plan! The specialist team are welcoming and approachable and truly get to know each kid. Chef produces yummy and nutritional meals, fresh each day. We cannot praise enough. Our daughter attended Excellent Explorers for the summer term to help the transition to start reception in September.
