September 1, 2024 at 4:08 amThe school was so welcoming right from the get-go, from dealing with the admin team all the way to a meeting and engaging with the head of the junior school; everyone we have dealt with has been extremely expert, supportive and supportive. Most importantly, our daughter felt right at home and has really grown in the short time she has been there; it’s hard to get her to leave when fetching her in the afternoons. Couldn’t have asked for a better setting for our daughter. We recently immigrated from South Africa with our three-year-old daughter, and St Lawrence College was that place that made us sense so settled.

September 9, 2024 at 6:20 pmNot only to be joining “big” school with their siblings but because of the range of activities and facilities on offer.
The team are very compassionate and attentive and I sense very at ease with my kids under their trusted supervision. It is also lovely that they are part of the St Lawrence College community and join in on special days like sports day and nativities. My daughters adore going to St Lawrence College childcare centre.

October 3, 2024 at 10:47 pmThe facilities are remarkable with our 4-year-old; swimming and going to forest school every week. Incredible educators have helped my son to settle quickly, and every day he is now excited to go to childcare centre. We have just moved our son to this childcare centre and are so, so pleased that we did!

October 6, 2024 at 9:56 amHe has such fantastic educators that go above and beyond to take care of him; they put so much effort into everything that they do, and it really shows.
Our son is so precious to us, so we wanted him to go somewhere extra special in his early years, and St Lawrence childcare centre is certainly that.
Thank you for all the magic.
I’m so proud of how far he has come. I’ve had several parents approach me and tell me that our son had helped their kid settle in, and couldn’t thank him enough – little adore. He will miss you all.
Thank you for everything your team did throughout lockdown, it was such a worrying time, and they put themselves out there every day to look after our kids, putting themselves at risk; so heroic and so unselfish of you all.
Thank you again!
As the educators would say, “great job”! Our son had the most incredible start at St Lawrence childcare centre.

October 9, 2024 at 7:58 amThe teaching team are outstanding. Our daughter has so many opportunities to learn and develop. I would highly suggest the childcare centre to others. St Lawrence College Childcare centre is truly outstanding, offering a wide variety of discovering.

October 16, 2024 at 7:45 pmHe has grown in leaps and bounds since being there. He was quite anxious about leaving me, but the educators in the childcare centre class showed him so much kindness, gentleness and nurture. Now, he happily goes in each morning. The discovering setting is second to none. The activities the educators plan are hugely creative and push my son to meet his potential in every area of discovering.
We are amazed at the diverse curriculum: from French to forest school to PE with specialist educators -what a lucky boy!
My son has also really benefited from the extended community at the school. He enjoys playing with the older kids on the playground and already knows the other educators in the pre-prep team. I know this will stand him in great stead as he moves up through the school.
We couldn’t be happier with the childcare centre at St Lawrence College Junior School and how the fabulous educators have spent so much time getting to know my son and getting the best out of him! My son has been attending St Lawrence College Junior School since January 2023.

October 24, 2024 at 11:46 amThere are excellent activities for the kids to get involved in from the moment they arrive, all overseen by the fantastic childcare centre educators. My kids have loved their adventures they have had indoors and outside. Not to mention the delicious food! The St Lawrence College Childcare centre is consistently such a vibrant welcoming and homely setting.

October 30, 2024 at 9:10 amThe online journal is a excellent way to see what your kid has been doing throughout the day, and you can discuss their day with them as you have more information.
Lots of structure which my kid excelled in as she likes tasks/boundaries/activities.
The expectation of kids is extremely high. For example, they expect them to participate in PE, French lessons etc, whilst being supported by their core educators they see every day.
Access to the forest school is excellent, which means they can playtime outside, in the mud kitchen and have different scenery.
All team inside and outside the childcare centre are smiling/polite/welcoming. Welcoming, welcoming and lots of creative activities.

November 16, 2024 at 5:11 pmIt is such a lovely and inspiring setting with remarkable educators who genuinely care for the well-being of the kids. Every day is packed with various activities, and my son loves attending this childcare centre. My son started in this childcare centre in September, and we could not be happier!
Jesse Quincy
November 27, 2024 at 9:17 pmThank you. My daughter goes to childcare centre, and the childcare centre educators and head teacher are so welcoming; you can discuss anything about your kid with them.
We are really cheerful with how our daughter is doing in sports and the classroom.
The educators are so nice to all the kids.
Finley Turner
February 18, 2025 at 6:15 pmOur daughter has never been away from us before, so it was a big thing for us to leave her with somebody else.
We have been delighted to see how well she has settled into school life, and it was excellent to hear how she had developed and “fitted in”.
The team is very expert and welcoming, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

March 23, 2025 at 3:59 pmIt has the perfect balance of nurture and challenge. The kids are loved and respected. My little girl is incredibly cheerful there. I have never once questioned our decision to send her there. St Lawrence College childcare centre is exceptional!

March 27, 2025 at 7:10 amThe family atmosphere, incredible spaces and appropriate schedule have helped to nurture and encourage my son to adjust to school life, which was particularly challenging after lockdown. The educators have been patient and supportive when he has required additional understanding and care. Having the opportunity to learn outdoors at the forest school has been ideal, and it’s been excellent to see him join in with so much through the app. A excellent all-round setting. The childcare centre at St Lawrence has been remarkable.
Milan Owens
April 21, 2025 at 11:28 pmShe is so well prepared for reception, and that is all down to the incredible guidance from two members of team. There is a fantastic sense of inclusion, kindness and enthusiasm, and I will be forever grateful for the incredible educational start they have given my daughter. An absolutely outstanding childcare centre, which has been so supportive of my daughter and her discovering journey.
Taylor Randall
April 26, 2025 at 6:32 pmAbsolutely everything is outstanding; I truly couldn’t provide a better review. We moved from London, and I was convinced that I couldn’t find a childcare centre as great, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The sense of community and belonging is at the heart of St Lawrence Childcare centre. The setting is gorgeous, the key workers are trained educators, and the setting is loving and inclusive. Each week my son has swimming lessons, learns French, goes to Forest School, has music lessons, drama lessons and does physical education, and it’s all included in the fee. And what continues to amaze me is the price; it is so affordable/competitive when compared to most mainstream nurseries. Five stars all around! St Lawrence Childcare centre is simply fantastic.

May 25, 2025 at 12:36 pmBoth educators work hard to create a broad and fantastic setting where the kids are continuously discovering through playtime. The level of care is so nurturing, and we have watched our son flourish across all areas of his development. He is genuinely excited to go in every day. Highly suggest. My son started in September 2022 and has had the most incredible year at the childcare centre of St Lawrence College.
Parker Hayden
June 20, 2025 at 1:07 pmThe variety of activities 1-2-1 focus on his discovering and development and structured day are working brilliantly for him.
The team are welcoming, attentive, well‑informed and genuine in their care of him which he is responding well to and which puts us at ease.
Keep up the excellent work and thank you. We’re delighted with our son’s journey at his new childcare centre.
Skyler Keller
June 26, 2025 at 1:06 pmThe kid felt at home from day one and has enjoyed a variety of discovering experiences and outings.
The kids get to journey very practical life lessons critical for kids, from swimming to discovering about the country and how to cross the road in an extremely secure setting. Outstanding journey with welcoming, welcoming educators.
Skyler Walker
June 29, 2025 at 11:26 pmThe childcare centre and the rest of the school have a excellent ethos and promote a sense of place and belonging. The team are all supportive to parents and kids, I get updates by way of photos and videos several times a day so I can be part of my sons day even whilst elsewhere. I would strongly suggest this childcare centre as we have all have an outstanding journey.
Thank you St Lawrence College. The activities at St Lawrence Childcare centre are fabulous, from the forest school to swimming lessons, they have so much enjoyable.
