Review from A G (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children thoroughly enjoyed kindergarten at Fairfield Prep School. It is an amazing setting with brilliant teachers and just a lovely environment for them to start their educational journey in. I think it works really well that it is its own separate space yet they still get to access the school and get them used to being around older children, with visits to the library, use of the PE hall, visits to Forest School, etc. There is also a bit of structure to their day which I think helps them prepare for school, but with so many fun activities they are exposed to. The class sizes are small which is also lovely. The facilities are brilliant with a covered and uncovered outside area, a sensory room, their own dining hall. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Review from Denis W (Father of Child) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter just joint the kindergarten in November this year, and it was her brother who start from the same classroom 9 years ago that took her in!
This is a very good school particularly if you want your kid to enjoy creative learning. They have a very structured learning schedule but it is fun as well. Weekly newsletters come out every Friday so you know exactly which they are teaching. From Phonics to Spanish, Sign Language to Shapes. There is just so much for them to do!
Weekly forest school is a highlight for my daughter as she likes making a mess. She is now 'practicing' her nativity song at home and said she has to get it right because she needs to perform on stage. BIG responsibility for a 3 year old but she's loving it!

9 years ago I asked my son what did he learn in school. He thought long and hard and said he doesn't know. But he went home, read his little story books, sang his songs and told me what happened in forest school. That's what a good school do!

Many thanks for your kind review - it's fantastic to hear that your daughter has settled in well to our Kindergarten. Our Forest School sessions are a wonderful opportunity for children to explore nature and connect with the natural world around them, so we're delighted to hear that this is a highlight for her.

Overall Experience

Wonderful setting and amazing teachers. So much care goes into their learning and help him them settle. This is a perfect setting to prepare children for Reception and my little girl has thrived since she started. They do so many additional activities like ballet, forest school, music and languages with specialist teachers. Couldn't recommend it more!

Review from S G (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The BEST standard of care to be found for young children. Learning through all kinds of different experiences, connection to the real world and in an environment that fosters independence in a safe way. The teachers are an extension of our family, the lessons are full of fun and varied (forest school, music, PE, yoga, ballet, languages), they have visits from older children at the school, animals, external visitors and school trips too. They read, they bake, they learn about kindness and giving back, they learn boundaries, respect and look out for one another ..and they play A LOT. This is the best start for any young person and we feel very fortunate that it was the start we were able to give to our little boy.
