Every day there are different activities set up, sensory play, painting and so many different activities. I love that there is a big focus on preparation for school, not just the academic side but the soft skills and independence e.g. at lunchtime.
The staff are fantastic, so caring and passionate about the children and they are consistent which means they really get to know the children. My little girl settled in so well and has gone from crying hysterically at her nursey drop off, to running in to pre-school and having to catch her to say bye. She gets so excited and I thank my lucky stars I found this perfect place.
We are absolutely delighted with Willaston Pre-School. Our daughter loves attending and has thrived since starting in September 2016. The staff are caring and are fantastic at their job. The varied activities and endless outdoor play ensure an interesting and action packed day. I highly recommend the setting and would encourage anyone considering a preschool for their child to have a look around. As it operates as a not for profit organisation, it is extremely good value for money.
The staff are all very approachable and have lots of experience. They always have time to answer my queries and time to cuddle my little boy when he is sad. They encourage the children to use their imaginations and be themselves and unbeknown to the children - they are learning phonics, numbers and many other skills that they can develop further in school.
We love Willaston Pre-school.
Wonderful nurturing pre-school (Outstanding in all areas from Ofsted) which is a great half-way house between home and primary school. My 3 sons (and now daughter!) have all loved their time there. Imaginative use of the facilities means that children learn without even realising it i.e. whilst having fun and playing. The greatest asset is the staff who have all been there for ages, know just how to care for each child as an individual, and are all professionals. Complete absence of ipads too!
My daughter absolutely loves going to Willaston Pre-School and enjoys all the activities they offer. The outdoor space is fantastic and it provides great value for money. I really can't recommend it enough.
What my little boy says every day, is reason enough for me to recommend Willaston Preschool to any parent - everyday he asks me 'Are we going to preschool today' and 'am I staying for lunch' then a jump for joy when the answer is yes. That aside, the staff are caring and nurturing and have a perfect balance between learning and play. The facilities are excellent and there are always plenty, also there is a great variety of toys and books available. I also very much like that my little boy's learning log is a physical one that parents can take home and flick through, rather than yet another thing to look through online.
