October 18, 2024 at 4:55 amShe learns, and she is cheerful to get to school every morning. Thanks to the diversity of activities across the day and the week she never gets bored, and the recurrence of activities week after week have created a valuable sense of routine, discipline and organisation. Well done. There has been a massive change in our kid being interested in what she does at childcare centre since she joined.

February 11, 2025 at 3:31 pmShe is enthusiastic, inquisitive and consistently asking when she will be going back. The school curriculum is incredible with our three-year-old having weekly swimming lessons, dance, art and French, which she often recites to us in context over dinner or when saying hello and goodbye to us all. Overall, I could not suggest the childcare centre enough. The team are inviting, welcoming, assuring and encouraging of all the little ones. The space and facilities second to none and we are in awe of the growth and development we have seen in our daughter in only three short months. The team are incredible. Thank you for everything. We have been amazed at the joy and excitement that our daughter expresses after her days at the prep school childcare centre.

March 17, 2025 at 2:31 amThey had both previously done the Montessori route and I was in two minds about the shift but this setting is just spectacular on so many fronts. Baby 1, my son, was so ready for school, despite being an August baby, and he developed his adore of maths here at St Swiths and it put down such fabulous foundations. He also loved the outdoor space and the nurture and he became so much more confident. I consistently felt they adored him for him and they valued his unique character. Baby 2, my daughter, is still there. She is a social and physical creature and adores the playtime, dance, art, and all the opportunity to be with her friends and she is friends with everyone and she loves every second. Forest school, swimming, dancing and performance and the crafts are the highlights for her, but we would also add that the team are just spectacular. So very experienced and full of creative ideas. Both my kids have been through this childcare centre and pre-school and it has been the best thing I have done for them.

March 24, 2025 at 6:22 amI really cannot suggest it highly enough. The manager and her team are exceptional – they really care about the kids’s’ development and well being combined with having a sense of enjoyable and adventure. They are consistently on hand if you have any questions and are very accommodating and understanding. I also sense that they have got my daughter’s character spot on with the regular feedback that I get. The facilities and equipment are second to none with a large modern indoor and outdoor area for the kids to learn and playtime. There is a huge selection of activities to choose from – music, gym, dance, science, French, cooking, forest school to name a few, but the real highlight each week is swimming. My daughter absolutely loves going in each day, and sometimes I find it hard to persuade her to leave at pick up! What a remarkable childcare centre!

May 30, 2025 at 11:02 amI thought my daughter’s previous childcare centre was great but it really doesn’t compare. At St Swithun’s they go out and explore the large lovely campus, making the most of the school’s facilities – our 3-year-old goes swimming, attends forest school, does ballet classes, all on-site with no extra cost. There is outstanding wrap-around care – my daughter enjoys making fresh pancakes at breakfast club, and the team are extraordinarily compassionate, competent and attentive. I struggle to get my daughter to leave some days and I understand why. I can not suggest it highly enough. The childcare centre at St Swithun’s is truly exceptional and I like to use superlatives sparingly.
