I think the nursey is really good, they look after the children well and always express their concerns when you drop off & pick the children up. All staff are lovely people too.

Good pre-school. Helped my daughter with many different things, she can count to 18 at two years old, knows shapes and colours. Can draw shapes etc. Also currently helping me potty train her, all in all, I think it's a brilliant pre-school and staff are all brilliant.

I am very pleased with how the nursery go about things. Their app is an amazing thing which really shows how your child is progressing in their time there. My son loves going and all the staff make him feel welcome which is great.

Review from Emily G (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child really enjoys it here at Discovery Pre-school. He has progressed so much in confidence, speech, play and social skills. He has learnt so much and both we as parents have too. All staff are easy to talk to with any problems/questions, no matter how awkward or personal. We are always informed of everything and we appreciate that staff are not afraid to talk to us either about any worries with our child.

Review from Jodi R (Father of Child) published on 7 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Discovery is a great pre-school. My daughter attended here when she turned 2 and stayed right up to when she moved to primary school. She was a very shy girl when she started and had a slight stammer, through the staff's patience and help, my daughter overcame this and is a very confident girl and is exceeding in school. Now my second daughter started in March when she turned 2 and is doing great. I’m so glad she is having so much fun and making new friends. The staff at Discovery are great! They do a lot with the children and include parents in lots of special events like Cultural days, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. As long as my daughters are happy and having fun I’m a happy dad. Thank you Discovery!

Review from Alice B (Aunt of Child) published on 6 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It’s wonderful to see the way my niece is growing in confidence as a result of the time and effort of the team at Discovery Pre-school. She is excited about moving up to school in September and is well prepared for the next step. The pre-school consistently works hard to engage with parents and wider families of the children and it’s lovely to feel part of the pre-school community in this way.

Review from Richard A (Father of Child) published on 4 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has loved her time at the pre-school, the staff are so kind and caring and try to bring out the best in every child. There are lots of exciting activities on offer and the parents are always welcome in to the setting to spend time with their child. I have enjoyed father's day events, cultural celebrations and stay and play sessions. The learning journeys are done online so I always feel a part of my child's progress.
