Review from R L (Father of Child) published on 4 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are so pleased we moved our little boy here, from another preschool.
He comes home so happy everyday and tells me all about the fun things he’s been up to.

A very happy little boy because of this preschool and I’ll be sad when he has to leave.

My little boy has been here since September 2022 and absolutely loves it. I can't speak highly enough of the preschool and the staff; they are all amazing. He has learnt so much since being here and will be sad when he leaves in July.

Overall Experience

Ever since my daughter joined Burghclere Pre-School she has loved every single moment. There was never a day that she didn't want to go to Pre-School. She always had a day filled with activities and the staff were always smiling and happy to see her. Overall, the Pre-School is a fantastic small setting, with great staff and a great space and my child has thrived there.

Overall Experience

Burghclere Pre-School is a small and friendly setting. My daughter has been attending since January 2021 and will be there until July 2022. They do a wide range of activities with the children and always do themed activities for easter/mothers day/fathers day/Diwali etc. My daughter is happy to go to pre-school each morning and has learned a lot since joining there. The care from staff is very good and I know she is in safe hands when there.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Burghclere Preschool for over a year now.
She has always been a very shy girl but since being at preschool she’s grown so much and has become so confident.
She loves going to preschool and has made so many new friends.
The staff are lovely and so warming, they always greet her with a smile.
I love seeing what they do through the app, all the different art activities and the outside area is wonderful.
I especially loved seeing her phonic book at the end of the summer holidays.

I never worry when I’m at work and my daughter is at preschool as I know she’s well looked after, she’s cared for by the wonderful staff, she’s learning new things every day, and most importantly having fun.

My daughter started this term at the pre-school and she has quickly settled in. The staff are fantastic; they are attentive and welcoming. She loves her days at pre-school and looks forward to going in. It is reassuring to know she is in safe hands and enjoys her time there.

Overall Experience
The staff are so friendly, welcoming and accommodating to all children.
My son started here when he was 2 and it’s done wonders for his confidence and development.

Highly recommend it as a lovely rural location and the class size is small and intimate.

Idyllic setting for a nursery, kind staff and small class numbers, we are very happy with the pre-school and would highly recommend to others. The playground is great and my daughter always comes home with a smile on her face!

Overall Experience

My son has been at Burghclere Pre-School since October 2020, aged two. Excellent, caring staff who confidently deal with my sons allergies. Staff are encouraging and treat each child as they would their own. Very pleased to have picked this charming village preschool over a larger franchised nursery. Looking forward to seeing my child progress under their care.
