September 10, 2024 at 5:54 pmMy kid enjoyed going. Small setting, welcoming team and plenty of outdoor playtime.

September 17, 2024 at 8:11 amThe first started early last year, the youngest this year. Both consistently look forward to going, are enthusiastic about attending and get excited on the way there. They are welcomed and go in without a backward glance. On collection, they are consistently cheerful, smiling and dirty, evidencing engaged exploratory playtime which they happily recall with lots of laughter. The team are consistently welcoming and well‑informed about the sort of day the kids have had and report back in detail the highs, lows and bumps and bruises. The increase in self‑assurance and dexterity through the activities and playtime has been exceptional. They attempt and try foods and activities that test our patience at home, happily recalling their achievements and their latest favourite foods. We have had to put satisfactory in a couple of boxes as we have not seen or experienced these, not going into the building due to the covid recommendations. We have now got 2 granddaughters attending the pre-school.

September 19, 2024 at 5:28 amThe team are consistently welcoming and incredible with the kids. Highly suggest this pre-school for any kids aged 2 to 5. My other little boy enjoyed his time here and still says now he would go back in an instant as he misses his educators Couldn’t ask for a better pre-school for my little boy.

September 24, 2024 at 4:01 amHe loves coming to Pre-school to see his friends, most importantly getting messy. The team are really supportive and made the whole part of the settling in process very easy. My son has been coming to Willaston Pre-school since he has turned two, we couldn’t suggest it enough!

September 26, 2024 at 9:08 amWillaston Pre-School set my first son up to a excellent start meaning he was very ready for school. My youngest son loves going there now and has progressed so much since being in their care. Great quality childcare, have been incredible with both of my boys who have very different needs and have facilitated them to have a excellent start.

October 13, 2024 at 10:02 amFrom the moment we visited the preschool before registering him, he was off playing straight away and settled right in. We knew he was going to be cheerful there! My little boy used to attend a different childcare centre but had to move him as they closed their toddler room due to staffing levels. Whilst I never had any issues with the previous childcare centre, since he started at Willaston Pre-School I have noticed a huge change in his development. I think the fact they mix the 2-year-olds with the 3-year-olds is so beneficial as he is with older kids he can learn from. All of the ladies are lovely and I cannot suggest this preschool enough! Since my little boy started at this preschool, I can’t express enough how pleased I am with everything they do here.

October 31, 2024 at 6:59 amIt’s the first time she has been to a childcare setting and she settled straight away. The team are so welcoming and she is discovering so much while here. So glad we found this place I would suggest it to any parent. My daughter has been attending three mornings a week since September and she absolutely loves it!
Charlie Knight
November 3, 2024 at 2:26 pmHe settled really well and looks forward to childcare centre days! The team are very experienced, with a strong focus on working with parents to assistance kids’s development. My son has learnt so much in the short time he has been there, such as his desire to be more independent and his growing imagination during playtime. He will no doubt have acquired all the skills he needs to prepare him for school next year. My son has thrived at Willaston Pre-School.

December 3, 2024 at 10:40 amAll team are extremely welcoming. My daughter has settled in better than I could have hoped. The key worker provides regular updates and puts my mind at rest about how my kid is settling in. Drop off and pick up is smooth and informative! Such a lovely childcare centre.

December 30, 2024 at 10:46 pmHe has additional needs and the team have been nothing but exceptional. Communication between team and parents is also outstanding.
Our son looks forward to coming into school and we will be sad when he has to move up to big school. Our son has been attending Willaston Pre-school since September.

January 9, 2025 at 2:12 amAll the team have been beyond supportive and expert in each and every aspect and we thank them for bestowing such positive memories in her life. She will remember her time with everyone and miss them very much.
We highly suggest Willaston Pre-School to anyone who has a kid going into pre-school and my daughter would too.
Many thanks to you all for your magnificent assistance and for setting the bar very high in terms of continuing her education. In the time my daughter has spent with everyone at Willaston Pre-School she has been excited to go there every single day and we have been just as excited to pick her up just to hear what an incredible time she’s had.

January 26, 2025 at 1:13 amOur youngest currently attends, as did our daughter who is now at school. The team are incredible. They are very experienced and skilled in educating the kids whilst still comforting them when needed. My daughter loves being outside on the bikes and tractor and they benefit from being in a central village location whilst backing onto the park. My daughter (despite being the youngest in the year), breezed into Primary School, although she would be back at Pre School in a heartbeat if she could. We highly suggest Willaston Pre School.

February 23, 2025 at 1:44 pmThe team are incredibly committed, compassionate and attentive and have done so much to ensure that my son receives the assistance that he needs now and in the future. Their updates is outstanding with updates after almost every session about my son’s day and development and any concerns discussed regularly. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and they have ensured that my son has had the absolute best start to his education. I would highly suggest this pre-school to anyone looking for a place that truly cares for each individual kid and works hard to give them the best possible care. My son has attended the pre-school for almost two years and absolutely loves it.

February 26, 2025 at 5:00 amMy kid attends every day and has done for the past few years.
Every member of team is attentive, nurturing and enthusiastic about their role. The kids are well cared for, as well as their educational needs met above and beyond.
Not once has he not wanted to go, which speaks louder than words. The hard work everyone puts in is very appreciated. They certainly set the bar high for other nurseries to compete against. I have no hesitation but to write a 5-star review.
Lennon Holland
March 26, 2025 at 7:36 amThe kids receive 1 to 1 discovering and lots of group activities. The outdoor area is excellent and the kids are often outside playing during collection times. We chose this pre-school as the kids sometimes go on little adventures around the village or to the park at the back which my kid enjoys. I would highly suggest this pre-school. Such a welcoming pre-school with a excellent adult to kid ratio.

April 25, 2025 at 11:03 amThis childcare centre is the best the team are all welcoming and go above and beyond my little one has loved going the care they have given has been above and beyond and the one-to-one discovering is the best you really won’t find a better childcare centre.
Casey Owens
May 20, 2025 at 1:51 amMy kid has come a long way and was able to write their name after being there only a few months.
Absolutely outstanding pre-school – if there were 6 stars, I would be choosing that! Thank you to all the lovely educators and a special shout out to one team member in particular who does a fabulous job on the admin too. My kid has been going to Willaston Pre-School for over a year now and I can’t thank all the team enough for how much time and effort they have put in.
Hayden Sharpe
June 9, 2025 at 6:09 amShe asks if she can see the team every weekend and on holidays, even when not at school. She has made significant development both academically and socially since being at the childcare centre since February and bounces with excitement when she does attend. The team provide exceptional provision for the students and my daughter is consistently counting, chanting colours, singing childcare centre rhymes and telling us stories about the incredible visits to care homes, the library and other countless experiences provided. You will find it difficult to beat the discovering experiences provided here. Thank you all! My daughter regularly informs us that she loves childcare centre.

June 25, 2025 at 12:24 pmMost importantly, they consistently look forward to attending, they are bright, cheerful and cheerful, if somewhat ‘grubby’ from a very enjoyable day irrespective of the weather on collection. A large amount of time appears to be spent on outdoor activities and playtime, here they use their imagination and pretend whilst discovering to express themselves. In our opinion, this has helped to develop their social and updates skills. The free playtime has improved the eldest’s balance and dexterity, especially on a balance bike. They have both improved in their turn-taking and their attentive for others through playing with mixed ages and abilities daily. The whole journey, especially the more formal and structured sessions, has helped to improve their ability to listen and follow instructions plus develop their patience. The celebration of success through praise and reward stickers along with constant encouragement has improved their discovering skills. The independence of thought and problem-solving has helped develop their independence and identity within the positive supportive culture. Handovers at the start and end of each session are very detailed and personal to each kid. We have two grandchildren aged four and two who attend school hours Monday to Friday.

June 26, 2025 at 1:45 pmThere are high expectations for the kids to achieve academically as well as assistance to do this. It isn’t just the academic side, the kids have lots of socialisation and opportunities to grow and develop all the necessary skills. Both of my girls adore going and are showing outstanding development in their discovering.
