If ever I stay a little longer at drop-off, I'm amazed at how well these small children play together, sharing and showing awareness for others. I think it's mainly down to the attitude of the staff, who seem to explain and reason with the children rather than raise voices. I really like that the 2-4 year olds are not segregated into separate rooms by age, because I think the younger ones learn a lot from the older ones, and the older ones learn to be patient with the younger ones.
The biggest measure of how good it is here is the size of the smile on my son's face when I pick him up - he's buzzing with excitement and full of stories of what he's done at nursery that day, proud to show me his artwork. He even asks to go nursery at weekends! I'm pleased his waterproofs regularly come home covered in a healthy dose of mud; I would much rather he be poking a stick in a muddy puddle than poking at the screen of an iPad!
Another thing I'm pleased to see every day is the different array of activities set up on the tables; be it a sensory bin of a tactile substance and figurines or a fresh batch of play-doh, there's always something interesting to get stuck into.
The only thing I'd add is, as a working mother, holiday cover!

I cannot praise The Ivies more highly - it is Haslemere's best kept secret! It has prepared my daughter for reception brilliantly and it was also such a simple and easy move into Reception at St Ives as everything is so familiar. The Ivies and St Ives just creates a magical environment that results in happy and contented children, who just love to learn and want to learn - not sure that you can ask for more than that?!
