Coniston Early Years Centre

Fantastic nursery! The staff are very patient, understanding and supportive with my daughter. She loves attending and I'm confident in sending her here.

Would really recommend the preschool. Both of my daughters have attended and my son is already booked in to start next year when he is 2. Both of my daughters really developed during this time at the preschool. Staff are helpful and friendly

Lovely little preschool, my son adores his key person and has come on leaps and bounds since he started!

Wouldn’t want to send my children anywhere else.

I would never hesitate to recommend to anyone.

I can not say a bad word about this nursery, the facilities they have, the relationships they have with both the children and parents. I love everything they do with the children whether it is taking them on the bus to the mall, going to local woods to explore, or nipping to the shops to get the ingredients, they really take on board your child's interest. If it's wet outside, the children can still go out in their wellies and wetsuits and play in their amazing garden. The staff are also extremely helpful, document what your child does and are very approachable. They have always got time, and what means the most to me is the children love them. The relationship they have with the children is lovely, and I know my child is in good hands when they are there. Also, there is lots of structured play, some nurseries I have visited, everything seemed very chaotic but it somehow never feels that way with St Chad's. It sets them up lovely for school, to my family they are the best nursery.

My son has enjoyed attending since day one and hates to leave at the end of his sessions.

I would recommend St Chad's to everyone, they work so hard with all the children to help teach them loads of different things, for when they go to school like, Numbers, Letters, Shapes, Sharing and some Makaton. All the staff are kind, caring, friendly and understandable. They do not just support your children but are there to help and support you too if you need help with anything or have any concerns/questions. They also have an outside garden that all the children love, and do forestry school, which teaches the children to get closer to nature and to be aware of their surroundings.

Great preschool, lovely staff, friendly, welcoming, structured, would highly recommend this preschool. My child loves going, so glad I found this preschool.

St Chad's preschool is one of a kind. The staff that work there are wonderful. The team are kind, caring and extremely nurturing. My son (now 7) was an anxious child and took a while to settle but I felt completely happy to leave him in the hands of the St Chad's Team as they knew exactly how to make him feel comfortable and in no time he had formed a bond with his key worker and started to make friends, he still remembers the ladies until this day. My daughter was quite a shy little girl when she first started but since being there she has come out of her self and is such a confident and polite girl who absolutely adores her key worker. The Team nurture the children, teach them how to be independent and really understand that all children are different and adapt how they teach to suit each child. I couldn’t praise them more.

I was always very wary as to what pre-school my daughter would attend, as you hear a lot of storys from other parents about their child's pre-school. I can hand on heart say, I felt at ease as soon as myself and my daughter walked in to view. All the others we had viewed, my daughter would not leave my side but with St Chad's she was away enjoying herself, interacting with the staff, from the moment she walked in. She has now been there for 2 years and going up to primary school this September. I can't recommend this pre-school enough they go above and beyond and are always so polite and understanding. You couldn't ask for a better environment for your child. My daughter loves her pre-school. She also has a really good connection with her Key worker who is always on top of everything and more than willing to take time out to sit and talk to you. I am just hoping that when my son turns of age to go to nursery/pre-school, that there are spaces for him as will definitely want him to attend.
