November 24, 2024 at 1:53 amAfter visiting St Faith’s childcare centre we were over the moon as we were really impressed with what we saw and heard. Our daughter has been going for three months and absolutely loves it.
She has a strong bond with the educators and has done so much in a short space of time.
We sense that she has developed a lot since going and is able to have the one to one that she needs. Choosing a childcare centre for our first kid was hard, as we wanted a place where we would sense that she was secure, cheerful and would delight in herself.

December 21, 2024 at 5:33 amThe childcare centre has excelled all my expectations. My son enjoys all aspects of playtime at Sandcastles and his assisting in his development in preparation for school. I know he has the best time and he is so well looked after and cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Sandcastles to anyone! Every single day we are greeted with smiles from the team at Sandcastles.

January 17, 2025 at 1:58 pmI can say that Sandcastles Childcare centre, without doubt, is the best care provider we have experienced. Not only is my kid thriving in their care, the updates between team and parents provides further assurances that this has been a decision well made.
Expert, personable, attentive and genuine – the team really are fantastic. Thank you! My daughter has attended several nurseries as we have moved around.

We, as parents, sense very confident that our kids are thriving in a secure, cheerful and enjoyable setting. We have been very cheerful with how our kids have progressed at Sandcastles Childcare centre.

January 24, 2025 at 7:25 amEvery kid is nurtured, valued and cared for by fantastic and expert team, who after two years sense more like family! Activities are varied and our daughter has enjoyed art, baking, growing in the garden as well as music, French and all sorts of sporting activities. We would suggest St Faith’s Sandcastles Childcare centre to anyone seeking high-quality childcare in a lovely setting. Sandcastles is a fantastic setting for childcare centre aged kids.

January 24, 2025 at 9:35 pmMy son who is 2 now attends and has had the same teacher, a testament to the fact that team are both loyal and remarkable. I adore this childcare centre for its nurture, it’s kindness and ability to educate in a enjoyable stimulating setting. My son is very cheerful and I couldn’t imagine him anywhere else. All three of my kids have attended this childcare centre, the oldest is now 9.

March 27, 2025 at 7:35 amOur twin daughters have been so cheerful there. They adore going to school and get very excited, just by the mention of it.
The teaching team are really lovely and attentive to the kids. They are very reassuring and very organised, definitely a excellent place to leave your kids without any worry.
We can see a huge development in the three months that our kids have been there; in terms of speech, knowledge etc.
The only things that we do not quite like is the parking outside the school, as there is a lack of flexibility for childcare centre kids as they don’t have a fixed time to be dropped off. Sandcastles Childcare centre is a excellent place for kids.

The team are remarkable and certainly make this a special place for the little ones. I would definitely suggest Sandcastles at St Faith’s Prep School. A fantastic childcare centre that my son is very cheerful attending.

May 6, 2025 at 10:34 amShe loved her last childcare centre, so we were nervous about her ability to settle. We needn’t have worried. Sandcastles Childcare centre is a bright, inviting and welcoming setting. The team are exceptional, very welcoming and do all to help busy parents. My daughter loves them, she loves her new friends and looks forward to every day. The childcare centre is attached to a primary school which includes the childcare centre in all it’s activities and empowers the younger kids to move onwards and up. My daughter is new to the childcare centre and new to the area having recently moved.

May 11, 2025 at 2:18 amThe compulsory school dinners are a real plus for helping one of my fussy eaters. The team really care about assessing each kid’s individual needs. The music lessons are a real hit with my twins. In the summer, they enjoyed using the school swimming pool. I have a excellent relationship with the team which gives me a piece of mind and up to date every day with how their day has been. A remarkable childcare centre. 🙂 I am extremely cheerful with the care and facilities.

May 29, 2025 at 6:10 pmFrom the initial visit to the settling in session and beyond, my husband and I are thoroughly impressed by the team, facilities, meals and activities.
Our son has flourished and loves it there. He has now moved up into the upper childcare centre, and the transition was managed superbly. We couldn’t be happier with Sandcastles and the team have been supportive and supportive when needed. We hope our son will continue through the school, and our daughter will start at the childcare centre in 18 months time. We transitioned from another childcare centre to Sandcastles after moving closer to Ash.

June 6, 2025 at 2:41 amMy son seems to delight in attending and seems to be able to demonstrate new discovering from school which is lovely to see. Ultimately, the most important thing when leaving a young kid is that you sense confident that they will be cheerful and secure.
The team will give my son a cuddle as I leave if he wants one and I sense comfortable leaving him in their very capable hands. Our journey of Sandcastles has been very positive.

June 13, 2025 at 3:54 pmIt’s immensely nurturing, you often see one of the ladies carrying a little one, and they interact with the kids in such a lovely way. Our son has learnt so much from mathematics ie counting, his phonics and his adore of music has flourished. We couldn’t think of a happier setting for our son to be in. Our son adores his key worker and often speaks about her and the other ladies whom all put in so much effort with every kid. I adore the fact the childcare centre is in a more rural setting and they are often taken down to the field to playtime. Our son comes home regularly with artwork he has made and is consistently proud of it. He is so cheerful there. Our son loves Sandcastles childcare centre so much, his development has been incredible and the team are just remarkable.
