Review from Jenna C (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is an excellent preschool. My son has been here since he was 2 and loves every minute of it. The facilities are amazing. Lovely soft play room, sensory room and a huge outdoor space which was the deciding factor for us, seeing as our boy is constantly on the go. Not only are the facilities amazing, but the staff are too. So kind and caring and generally love all the children. We highly recommend this preschool.

Overall Experience

YMCA Preschool has been brilliant when it comes to my son. They are friendly and fun, and although when he started he was apprehensive and had a meltdown the first few times he loves it! He has made lots of friends and participates in great activities and plenty of outdoor play. He also loves the staff, I can't say anything but good things about this pre-school.

Overall Experience

I am absolutely pleased with the overall service within the YMCA pre-school. Amazing teachers and helpers, my son absolutely loves everyone there. He is a little anxious with everyday life, especially since the first lockdown but since he started pre-school here in September 2020 he is much better and learned so much and always comes out so happy. He made his first friends here too.

Review from L S (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son recently started at the pre-school after his previous setting closed. I was a little worried at first but the staff have been amazing helping him settle in and giving him the confidence to explore the new centre. Excellent large facilities, (sensory room etc) there is scope for a better library resource and more small toys. I am a little concerned that the manager will not be replaced by a full-time person and hope this will be monitored and reviewed.

Reply from Teri Morris, at YMCA Sovereign Preschool

Thank you for your lovely review. Please be assured that the Deputy manager has been at the setting since we opened, and I will be working very closely with her and the rest of the team to ensure that there is no disruption to the children's care and education. Please feel free to come and speak to me should any concerns arise.

Overall Experience

My son has attended the pre-school at the YMCA Reigate for the past year and a bit and I highly recommend them. He has some additional needs and the staff have gone above and beyond to learn what works for him and how best to support his learning and development. I will be sad when he leaves for school this September, but will definitely be sending my daughter once she is old enough.

This is an excellent preschool. Our 3-year-old daughter started in September and has settled in really quickly, due to the kind and caring staff. The facilities are great! Lovely outdoor space, a soft play room, sensory room, and focus on natural play, suits our daughter's energy and desire to play. We highly recommend this preschool.

My daughter was two when she started preschool. Since then she has grown in confidence and is now ready for school. They'll have every day different activities to stimulate their little minds. The staff is professional and friendly and my daughter enjoys every minute in preschool.

My boys are 4 and 2 and love it here. They've made some good friends and love the staff. They've really helped my youngest, who is still non-verbal and my eldest who have grown in confidence since attending.

Review from Samantha (Mother of Child) published on 5 July 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I'm so pleased with the YMCA Preschool. My daughter always comes home happy and full of stories to share. All the staff are amazing and are always happy to take messages or help out even when it's not their key child. I can't thank them enough for everything they have done/do for my little girl and wish we'd found them earlier.
Just having a look into the window you can see how happy and excited the children are and that's what we all want when looking for a childcare provider to put our children in.

Thank you to ALL the girls at YMCA Preschool.

Review from Charlotte J (Mother of Child) published on 7 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been attending pre-school since September 2016 and goes two and a half days per week.
He has developed excellent relationships with staff and children alike and often tells my husband and I what his friends are called and what they played that day.
I like the way the children have the opportunity to go outside in all weathers and are able to explore the natural world.
In all areas of his development, our son had progressed really well.
There is a range of toys and equipment at pre-school and each day the children are able to participate in a range of activities: painting; role play; small world play; cooking and reading to name a few.
The staff are just wonderful. They know the children very well and are always on hand to express any worries or concerns. They are enthusiastic and seem to genuinely love their jobs.

We will be very sad when our son makes his transition to school in September 2018. The staff and setting will be sorely missed.

Both our daughters settled very quickly into their fifteen hours at the Sovereign. All the staff are pleasant, polite and great with the children. Our girls enjoy going there and interacting with the staff, bringing home tales of their adventures.

Review from Kayleigh F (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When my daughter first started, she would cry and scream and just wanted out. Within a week or two the whole team had settled her into the preschool so well, and now she can't wait to go.
Every time she goes, she comes home telling us about her day and how much fun she has had.
We can see a massive improvement in her speech and her confidence, and truly believe it's down to her being in preschool.

All the staff are very friendly and have no concerns when leaving my daughter with them.

Review from Nikki (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We love the YMCA preschool. My son currently attends Monday-Friday and my daughter left in September to start infant school. There are plenty of activities on each day from junk modelling and painting to water play and building dens. The care given by the play workers is great and both of my children built lovely relationships with them as well as friends. My daughter thrived here and I'm hoping my son will do the same too!

Review from Linda C (Mother of Child) published on 28 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since it was newly established. The staff are very friendly, trustworthy and approachable. Unlike other nurseries we attended, YMCA offers 6-hour sessions which worked well for my child and also my working hours. My son loves going to this preschool and has developed so many skills here. We will miss this happy environment when he moves on to school in Sept this year.

Overall Experience

I have been very impressed with YMCA nursery, from the very beginning the staff have been extremely helpful and approachable. They have made my daughter feel safe and happy, she thoroughly enjoys going to nursery. The activities the staff plan are fantastic, making pancakes/pizza and cakes. My daughter enjoys telling me all about it. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family. The staff are lovely and the facilities are good too.
