Review from Amy R (Mother of Child) published on 29 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

A fantastic preschool with incredible staff, which will be missed by my family. The "rising 5's" has been great getting my son ready for "big school" lunches and snacks provided have always been a hit and always describes as yummy! Some experiences will never be forgotten, like the fire engine visit, the horse visit and the trip to the library, simple but so memorable for the preschoolers.

Overall Experience

Fantastic place to send my 2 daughters, one of which currently attends and my second daughter will be joining in the future. My daughter loves it, the staff are very supportive of the children, bringing my daughters here really prepares them well for school and encourages positive values & relationships with other children. We would definitely recommend it here with such outstanding childcare. My daughter often talks about her friends & teachers and always looks forward to seeing them.

Overall Experience

A wonderful pre-school! We moved our two children from a different pre-school to this one earlier this year (aged 4 and 2) and the kids showed excitement and enthusiasm to go to pre-school in a way they never had before. The staff are lovely, kind and welcoming every time. Very informative and keep you up to date and I love seeing all the photos they upload too. Couldn’t be happier.

Overall Experience

Swineshead Pre-School is an exceptional nursery, my daughter absolutely loved going there everyday, she loved all of the teachers, especially her key worker, they put on excellent shows at Christmas, make such an effort on mothers days and fathers days, fantastic pictures of the kids that we get to see what they have been doing, great communication from teachers to parents, we were so happy with our choice of nursery for her, we even have our youngest daughter signed up ready to start in September 2024, I am positive she will love it as well, I would highly advise anyone to bring there kids here.

Overall Experience

Fabulous members of staff. They care about your child’s development and help in any which way they can. My son loved coming every day. Already getting excited to sign my little girl up in 2025. Really good value for money. Lots of exciting tours on tractors, police cars. Also animal petting, baking, crafting. My son always had the best days here.

I cannot fault the pre-school or its staff. They have been excellent for the past two years that my son attended. I honestly cannot praise them enough. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any parent who is looking for childcare. I know my son is going to miss them all dearly. Thank you Swinceshead Pre-School Centre.

Review from Samantha P (Mother of Child) published on 10 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have found the preschool to be very nurturing. My daughter settled really quickly and any hiccups along the way I received the preschool's help, to reassure my daughter at drop off.
The manager has been amazing with communicating with parents and is always at the end of the phone if you have any worries. I found her to be very professional and knowledgeable and was always happy to take her lead on any situations that arose, such as my daughter struggling with drop offs.
The staff are amazing, always friendly and give their time to talk about your child's day at pick up.

The app works really well and it's nice to see your child's term topics and pictures of them enjoying their time at preschool.

Reply from Carolynn Fletcher, Manager at Swineshead Pre-School Centre

Thank you. It's been a pleasure to help you both and thank you for your kind words, it makes our job worthwhile with such high praise.

Review from Jessica B (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child was a late starter and was at his last nursery from being a baby, so I was concerned. Swineshead Pre-School is amazing and so welcoming. The staff are so lovely. One lady is always so bubbly and excited with the children. The nursery has made a massive impact on school-starting life. My eldest also came here and loved every minute. A nursery that really cares.

Our child has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Pre-School and loves all the staff. Pre-School has not only supported our child but us as parents also. Our child has flourished since starting at Swineshead Pre-School, and we couldn't have asked for a better setting for a child to attend. A big thank you to everyone at Swineshead Pre-School!
