We are very happy with the teachers and the whole school team and their engagement and care for our little girl. She is learning rapidly. The facilities are very good, and she loves to go to her school and play with her friends. The whole school gives one a beautiful feeling of being part of a caring family.
What a wonderful review; thank you so much! We like to think of our preschool as a 'home from home', and we're thrilled that you feel the same way.
Nurturing, fun and just bursting with happy girls. We've had a great experience at the nursery at Rowan. My daughter is engaged and entertained every day, and this is impressive because each activity, even at this stage, is carefully chosen to develop each child's knowledge and skills. The staff are very caring and kind, and this rubs off on the girls, who seem to be caring and kind to each other.
Thank you for your lovely review, the girls in preschool always have big smiles on their faces!
I couldn't recommend Rowan more if you have a daughter and looking for a pre-school where your daughter gains confidence, is happy and excited to go every day, makes friends and looked after by the warmest, kind and skilled teachers. Our daughter loves being at Rowan, it's the best decision we made moving her from a nursery. She is stimulated a lot more and has a huge range of activities. Her development over the past 6 months has significantly advanced and a large part of that is down to the care and attention she receives from all the teachers and other staff members at Rowan.
Thank you so much for your review, we are so pleased that your daughter loves being at Rowan, we love having her here!
The Rowan Prep Nursery is wonderful. The staff are exceptional, they take so much care in everything they do. From activities planned to meeting the individual needs of each child. My daughter enjoys each day in the nursery and comes home happy and content. I thoroughly recommend the Rowan Nursery!
We really appreciate you taking the time to submit a review and for your kind words. We're so fortunate to have such a caring and passionate staff team in our Preschool.
My daughter has absolutely loved her time at Rowan so far. She has a brilliant time there, is in great care and is learning lots. She eats better at Rowan than I think she does at home! 100% better than I eat while she's at school anyway! The teachers all know her by name and really know her, what she likes/doesn't like/what she's working on. We've just gone through potty training, which was made easy by the kind and caring staff. They really go above and beyond for the girls. From Forrest school every other week and watching chicks hatch, to a visiting planetarium, I know the girls are getting a varied and enriching experience at Rowan. Thank you to all the lovely teachers!
Well, where do I start? Rowan is just amazing! My daughter is super happy here, she never wants to come home at the end of the day! From an educational point of view she has come such a long way, cannot thank the amazing teachers enough for it. Not only that but they make it so fun to learn that my daughter wants to do it when she gets home as well! The teachers and staff are all very welcoming, kind and approachable. At Rowan, it is very clear that every single girl is important and they cater for each need. I couldn’t be happier with Rowan prep school and highly recommend it.

My name is Elaine Gent, and I am the Head of Early Years at Rowan Preparatory School.
Rowan is a very special place, and Early Years gives each girl a secure and strong foundation to begin their Rowan journey. We know our girls very wel,l and this allows us to plan a bespoke learning that ensures each girl shines brightly and becomes the very best they can be. Come and see us in action - I am sure you will love what you see and want to be part of our Rowan family.
My name is Laura Finch, and I have been working in childcare for over 18 years, and at Rowan since 2020. I find working in early years education to be one of the most rewarding careers, as it allows me to support children as they learn, grow and flourish.
There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing a child’s eyes light up with pride when they achieve something new. In my current role as Room Leader at Rowan, I love the amazing resources we have available to make the environment fun and exciting every single day, and to support their learning. The warmth that radiates through each classroom, filled with happiness and smiles, creates a truly special atmosphere where both children and staff can thrive. I feel proud to be part of a team that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
My name is Rebecca, and I am the room leader for the Squirrels class at Rowan Prep.
With over 20 years of experience in early years education, I am deeply passionate about supporting young children as they grow, learn, and embrace new experiences. I have been working at Rowan for the past two years, and I have had the privilege of watching the girls flourish, gaining confidence and joy through every new challenge.
No two days are ever the same, and I find great fulfilment in guiding children through unique learning experiences, including our outdoor adventures at Forest School. Watching their curiosity and resilience unfold is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. When I'm not at Rowan, I enjoy family time with my two children, reading and going on long walks with my dog Django.
