The Early Years Academy Shrewsbury

We are so happy for everything to this nursery. The staff are excellent, hardworking, friendly and my child always looks forward to going to nursery.

Our eldest has been attending the Shrewsbury Prepatoria since he was 10 months old and has been in all three settings - the Baby Room, Toddlers and now the Foundation Unit. In every setting we have had a wonderful and positive experience. Our son has flourished there. The Reggio approach was a definite draw and you can see how it is woven into the fabric of daily nursery life for our children. The teachers and staff are caring, nurturing and inspire our children, supporting their interests and creating thoughtful and educational experiences for their young minds. Recent examples include a s'mores around a little fire pit, Gus the guinea pig's visit to Toddlers and some eggs that hatched into ducklings - two of whom went onto live with a child's family.

Our twins have just finished their settling sessions and are about to join in January. It was a no-brainer where they would attend and it's lovely the staff turnover isn't high so there are familiar faces in the Baby Room.

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!

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 when needed.

Prepatoria has been fundamental to the development of our child's learning, development and character. We are ever so grateful to the staff for their help and support through the first stages of our child's life, from Nursery to Toddlers. We highly recommend the good work this establishment provides.

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!

We could not be happier to have found this little gem.

We always feel safe in the knowledge that our little one is taken care of and in exceptionally good hands, and most importantly, our little one loves attending.

After visiting many nurseries in the area and thinking that I was going to have to extend my maternity leave because I did not have a good feeling about each of the places, I knew that the Shrewsbury Prepatoria Ltd was the right place for my baby the moment I looked at the prospectus and arranged an appointment. Extremely professional right from the start with high standards - exactly what you want for your child. I receive daily updates through the app and am able to contact staff with ease. There are always fun activities for the children to do, enhancing their cognitive, emotional, social and physical development. I knew that the amazing staff would look after my baby and had every confidence that they would as soon as I met them. Importantly for me, the nursery is clean, and the children are all clean - surprisingly, this is not the case at many nurseries! My little one does not want to leave at the end of each day because she has such a strong bond with the staff. Highly recommended!

We could not be happier with The Prepatoria. It is a friendly, nurturing environment where I know my child is safe, happy and stimulated. I have been impressed and reassured by the gentle transitions through each stage so that my daughter (and me!) feel confident and secure. The resources are lovely and inspire great imagination and creativity, which are important to us. The staff are fantastic. I know my child is in safe, experienced hands. She comes home chatty and inspired!

Fantastic facility. Both my children attend and are extremely excited to go each day. Late care facility is a lifesaver. I feel they really care for the children and nurture their educational growth.

What a fabulous place!

Best in Shrewsbury by a long way. The Prepatoria is a truly unique setting for our children to grow and develop. The team inspire our children's curiosity and their learning on everything they show interest in. The atmosphere is like a home from home, caring, nurturing and loving. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else.
