My daughter previously attended another pre-school, didn’t settle at all. On our arrival at St Mark's to view, wow! My daughter's face and eyes just lit up, she settled so quickly! Staff were amazing, friendly, bubbly and just all full smiles. Can tell they all really love to work within the environment they're in! My daughter has come on so much since being with St Mark's March 2023. She runs to school and comes out happy! From potty training to sound language, can’t thank them enough! I would highly recommend to any parent!
I recently moved my son out of a nursery and he is now in St Mark's. I can say just from the past 3 weeks he’s been there I’ve seen such an improvement. He’s so much happier and is really enjoying it, the girls in the nursery are so lovely too. I would highly recommend.
My daughter started at preschool in September 2023 and she absolutely loves it here. All the staff are lovely, knowledgable and approachable. They all put so much effort in with the children and make every event special. My daughter has begun learning to sign using Makaton, she’s coming on loads with her phonics and writing through all the different activities they do. My daughter has come on and learned so much since starting here. Would recommend St Mark's to anyone! Will definitely hope to send my youngest too when she is old enough.
I can’t praise the girls enough. They are really warm and friendly. When I drop my grandson off, he always has a big smile on his face and never looks back. They even celebrated his birthday with all the children last month. He's come on leaps and bounds since starting, his confidence has also grown. His key worker is working with my daughter to progress him in the different areas where he needs a little more focus, which is nice to see, working together. If you are a nervous parent when it comes to leaving your little one, St Mark's takes those worries away. Their focus is on the children and nurturing them.
My child has come on an unbelievable amount since starting St Mark's. Would recommend this preschool to any friends who are looking to put their kids into nursery. The staff are so helpful, kind and always go the extra mile to make school feel like a home from home to the children.
My daughter started in September and after many different viewings of nurseries, we decided to settle for St Mark's. As soon as we walked in for the open day the staff were friendly and full of knowledge and experience. After working in so many nurseries myself I was so anxious about her starting, but with the feedback I continued getting from friends and other reviews I knew I had made the right decision. She settled very quickly and always come out smiling, she has made many friends she talks about daily and they provide excellent activities for them and you get to see via an app what they have been up to. I would 100 percent recommend to others.
My daughter is only two and she absolutely loves coming here, she’s always so excited to see her teachers and always comes home telling me what she’s learned that day. Couldn’t recommend St Mark’s Pre-school enough!
All the staff are so lovely and welcoming. They have made the transition so easy and made us feel at ease with bringing our son to nursery. They do more than I would ever expect them to do for my boy.
Fantastic nursery. Both of my children have attended St Mark's Pre-school, one being present. My son had tried a few different nurseries previous but wouldn’t settle in any. We then found St Mark's and he enjoyed it from the minute he went, which makes it so much easier for us parents knowing our children are happy when leaving. Very warm and welcoming environment everyday. Now my daughter attends and enjoys it so much she doesn’t want to leave. She absolutely loves it and is always happy to be there, she can't wait to get through the doors every morning to have lots of fun. She has a great bond with all the staff and made lots of friends. Staff are amazing, polite, caring and passionate, always happy, wearing a smile, supporting both children and parents/families. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Absolutely could not send my daughter to a better nursery! The girls here have so much passion for what they do. My daughter is so happy at St Mark's, she is thriving and it's all because of the amazing staff. They are consistently helpful, caring, kind, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Amazing Pre-School! Five star!
St Mark's preschool go above and beyond to create an immersive learning environment, tailored to my son's current abilities and interests and developing him in the most engaging manner. I cannot thank the staff enough for their creative teaching skills and for the care and compassion they show towards my son.
My son started in September and the difference in him already is absolutely amazing. He used to be very shy, clingy and wouldn’t go to anyone, but since starting here he’s really come out of his shell. When I pick him up he never wants to come home, he loves it that much! All the girls are amazing and you can tell they love what they do and it reflects on how much my son loves it there. I know he’s in safe hands and having fun! He has been behind with his speech, but even in the short amount of time going there it’s come on so much, they have done different activities to suit his needs and likes to help bring on his speech even more. It’s an outstanding nursery and I wouldn’t send him anywhere else now!
Since starting at St Mark's in September, my daughter's knowledge has excelled, she is so settled and happy, and the girls are fantastic! Staff always go above and beyond and make learning fun! She looks forward to coming to the nursery every morning.
Great nursery with friendly staff who go above and beyond with the children by planning lovely activities to celebrate Pancake Day, Chinese New Year or Valentine’s Day. Updates of pictures are rest to see what they have been getting up to. My child has really settled into a warm and welcoming environment, and with support from staff can reach her full potential there. Family members have already noticed a difference and have commented on how lovely the nursery is when dropping off and talking to the staff. Would highly recommend this nursery to others.
Three of my grandchildren have attended St Mark's Pre-School, with two of them currently attending. I think St Mark's is a lovely Pre-School, and my granddaughters love it here. All the staff are very welcoming.
All staff are very friendly and put me at ease knowing that my child is being looked after by the attentive staff. There is always a warm welcome at the door, and my child has a smile on her face every time she is in.
This preschool is amazing. My son has come on so much since starting, and he goes in with a smile and comes home telling me about his day. It's like home-to-home - amazing. This school is so supportive and talks through everything that your child is learning. Stay and play events. Updated, and the room is so inviting. Staff work hard and always welcomes us through the doors. Amazing team!
My little girl has been at St Mark's since April 2022, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t want anyone else to look after my child. All the staff are so thoughtful and caring, and my little girl loves being there. My mind is at ease knowing my baby is in safe hands. If I could rate them higher than five stars, I would, as they truly deserve it.
Great preschool! My son looks forward to going there every morning, and there are so many activities they get up to that are fun and educational. So many great things about the preschool. Would highly recommend it!
My son has attended St Mark's Pre-School for nearly a year now. His confidence has grown so much since he has been going. All the staff are brilliant and always keep me up to date with how he is getting on and all the fun activities they are doing. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.
