I'm really pleased with how well Thomas has come on since joining you
I’m really pleased with how well Thomas has come on since joining you, although I never had a doubt after watching Isaac go through Preschool with you before, and we will be happy to send Edward to you when he is old enough next year.
We are absolutely thrilled with the preschool provision offered
We are absolutely thrilled with the preschool provision offered in the past and present for our children. The preschool is a safe, engaging, caring, fun and educational setting where our children have developed, grown up and headed off, well-prepared for school. The staff are attentive and kind, they go above and beyond for the children within the setting, offering a range of activities for the children to explore. They have helped all three of our children to become well-rounded and independent young children.
Amelia absolutely loves Highampton Pre School
Amelia absolutely loves Highampton Pre School. She has been learning a lot there and has made some friends which is great. She brings “homework” back to do with us and tells us what one of the ladies has been teaching her and that’s how we must teach her. I only wish they would take younger children there as I would send my son there too.
This preschool is just what these children needed after they came to live with us. We are foster carers and feel lucky to have this preschool so close to us.
Both Saffy and Harley have settled really well and look forward to coming every week. This is because the staff have helped them to feel safe and are very caring towards all the children. This preschool is just what these children needed after they came to live with us. We are foster carers and feel lucky to have this preschool so close to us.
The staff go above and beyond to ensure that the children are happy and safe whilst developing their knowledge.
Both of my daughters have spent many happy years at Highampton Preschool. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that the children are happy and safe whilst developing their knowledge. The team are very experienced and I thank them for everything that they have done for both Evie and Sophie.
Seeing Thomas grow and find his feet has been a joy.
Seeing Thomas grow and find his feet has been a joy. He is always happy to come home and tell us if he’s been playing outside and show off his latest counting skills. It definitely helps ease the guilt of going to work knowing how well he is looked after and enjoys himself with you 3 days a week.
