The Village Preschool E17

Our daughter attended the Village Pre-School for over two years. They are honestly the loveliest team of staff. We loved all the extra activities such as Forest School, sports and dancing classes. We felt so lucky that this was her start before school and are forever grateful for the hard work of staff. Thank you.

A special shoutout to the members of staff -you all are doing such a wonderful job! I wholeheartedly recommend Village Preschool E17 to any parent looking for a nurturing environment for their child. Thank you all for everything!I

We're so so pleased that we sent our daughter here. There were great options much closer to us, but the commute was well worth it. Beautiful location - the forest school is so great and was a real winner - outdoor time was so important for us. The staff were incredible - so lovely and personable and our daughter spoke about lots of them at home. When talking to them, they really seemed to know our daughter very well. Communication was good and their parent secure website had regular updates and photos which are lovely. Cannot recommend highly enough!

The most welcoming, nurturing preschool around. My son absolutely loves his time at the village preschool. As a first child who had only been looked after myself and immediate family before attending, I was anxious about him settling in. I was absolutely blown away by the teams kindness and patience to make my child feel seen and heard. Can't recommend them enough.

We can't quite believe our child's time at preschool is nearly over - it's been such a special chapter. From the very beginning, the staff have created a warm, nurturing environment where our child has grown in confidence, made lovely friendships, and felt truly safe and supported.

One of the standout experiences has been Forest School. The freedom to explore outdoors, play creatively, and connect with nature has really helped develop their curiosity and independence. They've come home full of stories, muddy clothes, and huge smiles - a real sign of how much they've enjoyed it.

We're incredibly grateful for the thought, care, and energy the whole team puts into each day. It's been a wonderful foundation before starting school, and we'll always look back on this time with deep appreciation.

The Village Preschool is a very special place. From the second my son walked through the door, he was treated with dignity and respect. The classroom is set up differently each morning and is always calm and quiet, with children able to choose between different activities. The teachers really listen to what the children are saying and respond to them as individuals. In the short time my son has been there, his confidence and joy have visibly increased. The forest school is an extraordinary offering - at the end of a forest school day he comes home, happy, excited, more observant and takes such joy in small things. It's wonderful to see. The teachers are fantastic and I feel really grateful to have got a place there and sorry that my son didn't start earlier. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this joyful preschool.

We couldn't be happier with our nursery experience. Our daughter has made some lovely friends at the school and has teachers that care about her and her development. We have regular updates on her activities, she has lots of time outside (which was really why we joined here) and well-thought-out activities across the week. She learns about all religions and events which is important to us. The admin support has excellent communication, we can ask questions and always received helpful and speedy responses. Our child has thrived here and I'd highly recommend it to anyone else.

All the teachers are so wonderful, they always make sure the child is comfortable and they always go above and beyond. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. The teaching strategies they use too, help the child learn and allow the child to expand their knowledge on different topics. Overall I want my son to even go to preschool here after his nursery time is over. That's how amazing this nursery is thanks to all the teachers that work there.

Fabulous setting with amazing staff who take the time to have a friendly chat each time they see you. My son always leaves feeling happy and that's all I can ask of them considering how much anxiety I had about sending him. He particularly enjoys the Forest School setting and always manages to get mud from head to toe, literally lol.

I am absolutely thrilled with our experience at this school! The teachers are truly lovely and have made a significant impact on my children's education and well-being. My eldest daughter just finished her time here this summer, and I can see how well she's thriving in reception, thanks to the solid foundation laid by the village preschool teachers. The transition has been seamless, and her confidence has soared. Had my youngest enrolled just before the summer term and she is still there, and she is having the time of her life! The supportive and caring nature of the staff is evident in everything they do. They genuinely care about each child's development, ensuring that everyone feels valued and supported. I couldn't be happier with the nurturing environment that this school provides. It's a wonderful place for children to learn and grow, and I am grateful for the positive experiences my daughters have had here!

Our daughter has been attending The Village Preschool E17 since April 2024. After a short period of settling in and getting upset when parents leave, she has become a confident little girl, who is expressing herself clearly to others and engages in all the activities the nursery offers (which are plenty). The staff are incredibly caring and attentive to child's needs and all the questions being asked, providing warmth and support to a child being out of her own environment. When she was smaller and attended outdoor facilities ("Forest school") she enjoyed every moment of being outside and close to nature, exploring every little thing. Because the number of children is quite limited, all the kids get proper attention from the staff, which is great! I would highly recommend The Village Preschool E17 to other parents!

Couldn't recommend The Village Preschool highly enough. Teachers are all lovely, my daughter learns a lot and has loads of fun. Forest school is invaluable. Our daughter actually begged us to attend an extra day at nursery, so she now goes Friday too.

My daughter attended from November 2023, she's settled in nicely and leaves a confident independent little lady moving on to her next pre-school. A special comment for her lovely key worker. She was also my son's key worker when he was there back in 2021 and she's amazing. It was nice to have a key worker who understands my daughter's requirements, especially the religious ones. Thank you so much for being a part of my daughter's journey. We will miss you.

Such a lovely experience at this nursery, adapted to my daughter's dietary allergies and requirements when mentioned and overall loving and caring staff. She's grown so much more confident and really settled well at the village pre school. Highly recommend.

Our son absolutely loves coming to pre school every morning. The switch over from mornings to full days were no problem at all. He settled well and we feel thrived in this environment. The staff are always so friendly, helpful and attentive!

I can always go there with peace of mind knowing that my little one will be in very good hands. We have only been going for a couple of months, but my daughter is happy and that makes me see the good work that all the teachers do. All the areas always look clean and tidy. I love the good relationship that the teachers try to build with the parents.

My daughter has flourished immensely during her time at Village Pre-School. My son, who attended this setting some years back, had a fantastic experience there too. The staff are fully committed to the well-being of the children; the outdoor space is unparalleled and activities like the forest school walk (which my daughter loves) make the experience so worthwhile. I'd highly recommend this nursery! It's unfortunate that my child won't have the opportunity to attend this setting anymore.

I would highly recommend this school to everyone! The outdoor forest area and indoor sessions are great for children’s development. The staff are amazing and really helpful. My child has special needs and the SENDCO staff are always going that extra mile to give support. The staff always keep me updated on my child’s progress.

We're thrilled to have found the village preschool for our son. The entire staff, from caregivers to office personnel, is incredibly welcoming and caring. Although our little one took a bit longer to settle in, everyone was patient and understanding, giving us the time we needed. Spending a few days in the class only reinforced our trust. Each staff member genuinely cares about the children, creating confidence that our son is in safe hands. We particularly love that they offer forest school – it's one of the reasons we were drawn to the nursery. The expansive outdoor space, coupled with the forest school area, allows the kids to roam, play, and discover. The only downside for us is the 3 pm pickup, but I believe that there are plans to introduce aftercare.

This nursery is amazing. Before my son came to this nursery he was in a private one and he hated it and cried but now he can’t wait to go to the park as he calls it as we can’t say nursery. The staff are amazing, helpful and friends with the outdoor space the kids have and I would recommend this nursery to everyone.
