September 18, 2024 at 11:58 amMy daughter loved it from day 1, there wasn’t a day she’d wanted to not go. An incredible preschool. She made some incredible friends with the educators and the other kids. Would highly suggest it to anyone that asks me.

September 30, 2024 at 6:02 amWould highly suggest it. Great welcoming team, my daughter loves it here. Even though my daughter was unable to go a lot due to covid, she learnt a lot in the time she was there and enjoyed her time there too

October 31, 2024 at 8:48 pmThe childcare centre team are very professional, attentive and supportive in every way you can possibly imagine. Our son has been growing and developing so quickly in this place. The childcare centre has an outside space, which is also accessible throughout the day. The snack time is also very beneficial and our son loves to go to childcare centre every day! The setting is small so team can concentrate on kids more effectively. Our son’s key worker is very communicative and consistently updates us through the app and face to face with any developments.

November 12, 2024 at 12:23 amThe kids are consistently cheerful and smiling at pick-up time. My daughter has been here for over a year now and I can’t praise the manager and her team enough. My daughter was massively supported in her transition from nappies to the toilet and continues to build her independence with the help of Kester’s team.
I would definitely suggest this pre school to everyone, 10/10.

November 27, 2024 at 3:52 amIt helps my daughter become more independent and sense confident in what she does in general. I truly appreciate that they teach the necessary life skills to the kids, for example letting them prepare for their own snacks. When an accident happens the team report it immediately using the app and they give me a quick explanation for what happened when I collect my daughter. The assessment report was clear and detailed, and the key person clarified what would definitely be the next target for my daughter, which I found vastly useful. The team frequently post an update about the activities the kids did that day with a lot of photos. The team are welcoming and attentive yet professional. I sense they embrace the diversity too. My daughter truly enjoys her time at Kester Pre-School. Overall I am very cheerful with Kester Pre-School.

December 11, 2024 at 9:02 amMy daughter has loved every single day and the team not only care for the kids but encourage, teach and playtime with them. My daughter has been attending Kester Pre-School since she was 2 years old and has just ‘graduated’ heading for Primary School. They leave updates with photos on the app and share details about the kids’s days. Since attending Kester, I saw my daughter develop skills and learn things that I hadn’t taught her and become well‑informed on all sorts of subjects. I am so glad I sent her here and am sad that the team won’t be part of her day anymore.

December 21, 2024 at 4:41 pmShe runs in at drop offs without so much as a glance back and consistently has lots of exciting things to tell me about her day at pick up.
The team are fantastic and keep us well informed of activities, projects and progress via an app. My daughter has been attending Kester Pre-School since she turned two. They regularly run special days for the kids, many of which parents/family members are invited to, so you get a chance to see how they spend their days.
There are plenty of toys and activities inside and out, and my daughter often comes home with various bits of artwork she has created at childcare centre. We adore Kester Pre-School and are so lucky to have it on our doorstep!

I can see very quick development of my daughters speech, more confident with other kids, and every time she comes back from school, she can’t stop telling us about her day. We were nervous to send our daughter to preschool.

February 2, 2025 at 6:55 pmMy daughter truly enjoys coming to Kester and consistently leaves smiling. The team are welcoming and well‑informed. So much thought goes into activities and how their discovering is supported. Communication is excellent. I highly suggest this setting.

February 11, 2025 at 2:36 pmThey go above and beyond every day, exciting topics, different experiences, genuine care, emotional assistance and development and so much fun! I can’t begin to put into words how incredible the team at Kester are. Water playtime day, pirate day and healthy eating week have happened just within the last month. My daughter has massively struggled to separate from me and the constant kindness and assistance from the team, especially the manager, has helped us both. My daughter loves her time there, she loves the team, and I adore how much they have become a part of her childhood.

March 16, 2025 at 6:00 pmHe is cheerful and has a excellent time there. My son loves Kester pre-school. I sense secure when I leave him there. I appreciate the fact that they send daily reports related to my son’s activities and his personal development including photos and narratives etc. My son’s key worker is so polite and consistently cheerful to talk to me about my boy. She is very welcoming, attentive and professional and has developed a excellent relationship with my son. The pre-school manager is very organised and communicative with kids and all parents. I strongly suggest the school.

April 11, 2025 at 8:29 amMy daughter loves every moment spent there. Couldn’t be happier with our choice. Staff are welcoming, attentive and professional.
Love how on the app we can see how their day has been. So cheerful that the right preschool for us is right on our doorstep.

April 13, 2025 at 3:54 pmShe walks in without a worry they make her sense very comfortable with them. My kid loves going to childcare centre only been a week! I like that they send daily photographs of what she is doing, truly keeps my mind at ease!
Fallon Walker
April 15, 2025 at 8:20 amSince September he has truly grown in confidence and is consistently very excited to go to preschool. I chose Kester preschool for my son as he can be a bit shy and I thought a smaller setting would definitely be best for him. The team are very welcoming and communication with parents is excellent. I truly delight in seeing the updates about my son’s progress. I think the team try truly hard to give the kids a fun journey and a variety of activities to take part in. I would definitely definitely suggest this preschool to other parents.
Reese Sharpe
May 4, 2025 at 11:11 pmVery cheerful with our choice at Kester.
The team are consistently nice and ready to help.
Healthy communication during work hours and out of work hours.
Constant updates with pictures on the progress made.
Nice and educational constant activities.
Our son would definitely consistently be cheerful to go to school, no matter the day or hour.

May 31, 2025 at 6:18 pmThe team are very welcoming and take care of my kid very well. It’s been almost 2 years that my daughter has been going to Kester Pre-School.
I had no complaints about the preschool or team. My kid is cheerful going there. I would definitely highly suggest.
Alex Marsh
June 1, 2025 at 9:31 amThe team are fantastic with her and she’ll often site them as her ‘best friends’ and tell us in glorious detail what she’s been up to. Since starting in January, our daughter has loved being here. Staff are invested in expanding my daughter’s knowledge and understanding of the world around her, but consistently at her own pace. I can’t wait for her to delight in another year before starting primary.
Blake Frost
June 2, 2025 at 7:08 amThey have been incredible keeping me updated with notes and photos throughout his session which has been very comforting. Kester have done a fantastic job settling my little boy into preschool, it wasn’t an easy start but less than two weeks in and there is huge improvement with him and he is now starting to delight in preschool there. So far, a fantastic start there.
Hayden Hayes
June 24, 2025 at 6:15 amHe absolutely loved every day he was there.
I cannot suggest Kester enough . I cannot thank you enough for everything that my son learnt during his pre-school years.
All the educators are incredible and the kids adore them.
Gray Lang
July 3, 2025 at 1:13 amHe has absolutely flourished at Kester. As many parents are, I was very nervous to send my son to preschool though I wanted to do so as a great opportunity for him to mix with other little ones. The team are fantastic with him. They are particularly great at following his lead when it comes to activities and which he wants to take part/not take part in. It’s no wonder when I ask him what he wants to do today he regularly says “Kester Pre-School” and on his days off he begs to go still. I desperately hope there’s space for his sister when she is old enough to go! Would thoroughly suggest!
