My little boy started at the Early Years Ibstock in May 2025 and it was the best decision putting him with this nursery. All the staff are really good with him and we appreciate you all! We have noticed a lot of improvement with his social skills, physical skills and intellectual skills and a lot of
that is down to support from the EYA.

We cannot say more positive things about our experience here. We were first interested due to the Reggio emilia approach and we are so pleased to have discovered this treasure.


The staff are so kind, the environment is so nurturing and we've noticed our shy little Amaia transform into such a confident

little girl since attending.


We truly wish the school was still operating but will have to make do with her being here until reception somewhere else.


They've even been so accommodating to her vegan lifestyle. Truly such an incredible place!

My child has been attending nursery since a baby in the baby room. We have loved every minute at nursery. There is never an issue to do anything extra for the children, from art projects to community engagement. The rooms are beautifully laid out for the children to interact with each other and have
individual time to explore and build confidence. Transitions between rooms is thoughtful and prioritises the wellbeing and comfort of the child. We highly recommend the nursery and have had nothing but positive experiences with staff and attendance at Early Years Academy Ibstock.

The Early Years Academy has been absolutely wonderful for my son. He has been attending since he was 8 months old, and the progress he has made is incredible. The staff are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in every child's development. They create such a warm and nurturing environment. I've seen
improvements in his social skills, confidence, and overall growth. The activities are well thought out, engaging, and age-appropriate, and the communication with parents is excellent. I always feel reassured knowing he's in such safe and capable hands.
I'm truly grateful for everything the Early Years Academy has done for our family. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely nursery, I have only got good things to say about it. My child has been going from 10 months old and it's been a positive experience from the beginning. I feel my child is very safe and well looked after and they love going each day. The staff are lovely, so helpful and friendly. My child
has learnt so much there, from the alphabet to numbers, it's been amazing seeing the progress. Thank you to all of you for everything you do.

Two children have attended Shrewsbury Prepatoria. So we have been here for 6 years. The staff have been fantastic and really supportive during challenging times. I always would recommend this setting to anyone seeking childcare. Both children have been very positive during their time here and formed
close bonds with the team.

If you are considering sending your child to Shrewsbury Prepatoria, we cannot recommend it enough. We have experienced all three levels - baby, toddler and foundation and all are excellent. The staff are all friendly, great with the children and also at communicating with parents. We feel like we always
know how the children are doing and involved in their day. We receive regular updates on the app and also through communication at drop off and pick up or direct messages. Our children have flourished at Prepatoria and we continue to be impressed by the care and teaching that they put into the children. The food provided is wonderful, there are extra parenting sessions available, the children are happy, well cared for and there is also an emphasis on education and development which you can see the children really gain a lot from.

Both our children attended and still attending Prepatoria. All the staff and teachers go extra mile for the children. We could've not done it without them. They played/play a pivotal role in our children's life. Thank you for providing such a fun, loving environment and for the extra care they received

My daughter and son started this amazing team last year September. The whole team has been amazing and not just with my children but with myself.


They have shown how much they care through transition from baby to toddler room and preschool. My daughter absolutely love going to The Early Years Academy.

I must say my mind is put at rest knowing my children are in such a loving and caring hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've been so pleased with our experience at The Early Years Academy so far. The staff are wonderful-so caring, attentive, and encouraging. It's been lovely to watch my child bond with both the educators and the other children in her room (Toddlers 2-3/Rising 3s).


My daughter has made fantastic progress,

both developmentally and socially, and she always comes home happy and excited. It's a nurturing environment where she truly thrives.


The The Early Years Academy provides great support during transitions to other rooms, as well as with key milestones such as toilet training, dropping naps, and navigating other big changes.


The daily updates the educators provide on the app is so reassuring - I love seeing what my little on is up to, and the menu offered is full of variety and sounds delicious!


At The The Early Years Academy they prioritise the safety and wellbeing of the children, and after viewing close to 20 nurseries and preschools, I couldn't be happier with my choice.


Highly recommended!

Fantastic nursery! My son has been attending the Prepatoria for several years now and has been through various stages from Baby, Toddler and Foundation. The level of care from all staff has been outstanding. Very quickly felt incredibly comfortable and confident in leaving him in their care, knowing
if there are any developments, minor accidents etc, then I will be informed. Excellent!

EYA have been incredible for my son. He's a velcro toddler, but settled into nursery in a few days, sleeping well, eating well and was immediately approaching the staff for comfort when needed. The kids get to do some great indoor activities that I don't do at home, go outside 1-2 times a day, have
very nutritious meals with great variety and an environment to encourage imaginative play and independence. We couldn't be happier with EYA!
