Review from Nicki H-P (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3-year-old started Gateway Pre-School last September and I could not be more pleased with how he has settled there. It is a small school with warm and caring staff who pride themselves on how they look after your children.
As a stay-at-home parent who had never left my child with anyone before,
I was understandably worried about how my son would cope in a school environment but the effort that the staff made to make him feel comfortable there was amazing. They sent and still send me pictures and video during the day to show what he's up to and certainly in the early days this was such a comfort!


I would not hesitate to recommend Gateway to any parent looking for a nurturing Pre-School for their child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really good place for a child to start learning and be prepared for the "big" school! The pre-school is really well structured with great management and staff, with varied and quality activities where children constantly learn through play! It is amazing to see how our son has developed since he has
joined the pre-school. We definitely recommend!

Job Title: Preschool Manager Joined: 2021

With 17 years of experience in childcare, I am a passionate and dedicated Preschool Manager who truly believes in the power of early years education. Throughout my career, I have been committed to creating safe, nurturing, and inspiring environments where children can grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.


I pride myself on building strong relationships with families and leading teams with warmth, positivity, and professionalism. Supporting staff development and ensuring high-quality care and education are at the heart of everything I do.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, baking and going on walks with my two children. Being a parent myself strengthens my understanding of how important trust, communication, and a caring environment are to every family.


I bring energy, experience, and a genuine love for early childhood education to my role every day.
