St Mary's School

She absolutely loves coming to childcare centre, and it provides the perfect mix of playtime and education. The childcare centre educators are unfailingly compassionate and gentle. Would not hesitate to suggest. I could not ask for anything more for my kid.

We had a full tour, and every door was opened to us, every class engaged with us, with all team and kids across the years fully engaged in their lessons, confidently expressing themselves.
Aside from the incredibly nurturing atmosphere, we loved the free flow setting of the childcare centre combined with highly specifically designed activities for individual and group discovering/engagement. Since joining, we have seen our kid’s knowledge, concentration and development move forward every single day. We adore the managed exposure that our kid has to the wider school and other related spaces within the week, creating more self‑assurance in the day to day and with new people and environments.
Our kid literally runs in every morning, and on collection, is bursting with all the activities and enjoyable of the day, happily exhausted with a busy mind and a beaming smile. From the moment we visited the school and met the team, we knew we wanted our kid to be in the setting.

She’s become confident, chatty, cheerful to explore new things and keeps asking to go to childcare centre every single day of the week. The manager and all the team have been highly attentive to our daughter’s needs and have been able to bring out the best in her.
Lots of encouragement, individually tailored activities and simply old fashioned sense of responsibility towards the well-being of the kids are what make St Mary’s School an outstanding place.
There is an emphasis on kindness and gentle behaviour, individuality is not stamped out, and a stimulating discovering setting is clear to everyone who enters the door.
Well done, St Mary’s School team, for achieving and maintaining such high standards of early years education. Our daughter has flourished since joining St Mary’s School in February 2023 after experiencing a difficult time in another facility.

Both our daughters have been through and it gave them the ideal start to schooling. After the childcare centre makeover last year the facilities are even better, and the head of Childcare centre is a superstar! Remarkable team make this a wonderfully nurturing and welcoming setting for the kids.

It’s home from home for him and he is highly relaxed and cheerful and has made lots of friends.
The educators are outstanding, highly attentive and passionate. They are consistently going on outings, getting lots of fresh air and exploring the local area.
My not-so-little boy will start school in September and he is highly ready thanks to this fantastic childcare centre and the care and encouragement he has received. St Mary’s Childcare centre is a highly calm and nurturing setting.
My son has been attending childcare centre full time now for six months and he just loves it.

Mary’s School in 2013 and my younger daughter currently attends. The childcare centre provides a inviting and extended family sense which we adore. It sits happily within the school setting and the kids in the older school years adore interacting with the little ones. The childcare centre is integrated within the school which makes the transition into Kindergarten so unbelievably seamless. The curriculum is broken down into half term blocks with a precise schedule sent out of the plan for the weeks ahead. Fridays are outdoor school days when the kids are taken to a nearby nature area to see, touch and discover the outdoor world. I don’t think it is a coincidence that the childcare centre kids all have such terrific friendships and are so cheerful to arrive each morning. I have seen with my older daughter how her time in childcare centre set her up for many cheerful years of schooling to follow. My older daughter attended St.

It is just the most remarkable childcare centre! The teaching team are so dedicated, totally committed to each kid’s individual needs, nurturing and genuinely attentive for them. I cannot rate this childcare centre highly enough. I couldn’t be happier; it was the right decision above and beyond all the other nurseries in the area that we visited. I would describe St Mary’s School as outstanding!

St Mary’s was completely different – it felt so inviting and nurturing there, and the class sizes are lovely. I can’t say enough excellent things about the educators. With the Covid restrictions making drop-offs a little less welcoming, my son had some real issues going in, and would only allow one of the educators to take him in. She was at the gate every morning to meet him, and after a couple of weeks, my son accepted the new way! He is so cheerful to go to childcare centre now and playtime with his friends. The updates, photos and videos every week are excellent; I just adore seeing how cheerful he is and how many activities he gets to take part in. We looked at so many nurseries for our son, but none felt right- some had so many kids, I felt our son might get “lost”, others we looked at felt too formal.

The teaching team at St Mary’s childcare centre are so nurturing and genuinely care so much for the kids. My daughter skips into childcare centre every day, so excited for the new adventures and experiences the childcare centre has to offer. And she leaves with a smile on her face, excited to show me her latest creations. We couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre. Such a remarkable childcare centre!

The team at St Mary’s Childcare centre ensures us that we never have to worry about our kid’s happiness and safety. He is dropped off and picked up with a smile on his face. The childcare centre team show a genuine enthusiasm for their roles, and the impact that they have made on our son’s life thus far is just fantastic. He is developing so well and we truly do credit much of that to the excellent care and attention that receives at St Mary’s Childcare centre. He gets such a great range of activities and stimulation at the childcare centre such as playing sports, discovering French, lots of sensory activities, reading, indoor and outside playtime. The educators and the centre’s administrator are highly attentive and flexible to us as parents as well. They are genuinely a fantastic and attentive group of people, and the administrators consistently have a smile as they greet us every day. We sense fortunate to have a childcare centre like this for our son. As a parent, there is nothing better than knowing your kid is secure and in great hands.
