Amazing nursery, with really friendly and helpful staff. My son has grown so much since starting at St Mark's. He has learnt alot of new words and manners and made new friends, which have been great for him. I highly recommend this nursery and would love to keep using it in the future if I have any more children. Thank you, St Mark's!
St Mark's is an incredible nursery. Both my daughters have attended, with my youngest currently in her final year. The women at the nursery go above and beyond for every child. They are so child-centred; I always knew my children were in good hands. At the age of three, I could have moved my daughters to the nursery connected to their school, but they had both progressed so much during their time at the nursery, I didn't think anywhere was better for them than St Mark's. They have had amazing experiences thanks to the manager and the team, but the most important thing for me, as a parent, is how happy they are going in. They both absolutely loved it there. My oldest says she wishes she could go back, and that is the true impact St Mark's has had. I will be truly sorry when my youngest daughter leaves for school, but I will continue to recommend this nursery as I believe it is by far one of the best in St Helens. I can never truly thank the ladies for all they've don't for my daughters.
This nursery has brought my child out of his shell. They have made his confidence grow and grow. They are so polite and approachable. My son really looks forward to going to nursery as he loves the themes and activities that they learn him. Really good nursery.
Our son has been attending St Mark's for a year and we have been so happy with his overall experience here. He has built great relationships with the staff and has enjoyed doing so many different activities and learning about different topics.
The communication between preschool and home is a real plus for us - we are kept up to date with regular posts and photos from preschool and our son loves when we send photos in from home and his teachers chat with him about those.
There is a true family feel around the team and the community of family/guardians whose children attend. In my personal opinion, the level of commitment and passion the team has for the development and well being of the children is second to none, and could not imagine our daughter being anywhere else. We found St Mark's following their previous recognition for outstanding performance and now fully appreciate how hard the team work to achieve those standards, which now show in how well our daughter is doing in all aspects.
We will also be sending our youngest when she's ready. We love St Mark's!
Struggling with mild health conditions she has required a little extra support.
We are lucky to have had this pre school recommended to us and join its lovely family.
My child started attending St Mark's Pre-school in March 2022, since joining his confidence has come on so much. He absolutely loves going to this nursery so much so, he doesn't want to leave. The nursery always keep me informed of how he is getting on and what he has been up to that day. The staff are lovely here and will always go above and beyond. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.
We moved our son to St Mark's from another nursery and he's been attending since September. He absolutely loves it and so do we! The staff consistently go above and beyond and the learning experiences they provide for the children are amazing, he's progressed so much since attending!
All the staff are amazing, they put so much effort in with the kids. There's always something they are focusing on and put so much effort in at special occasions. From Christmas and recently putting in loads of effort for Chinese new year.
Can't recommend St Mark's enough its the best. My daughter is only 4 in July, so I just know when she starts primary school she is going to be more than ready. Even though she would of only just turned 4. All thanks to St Mark's.
His development has come on so much just in the short time he has attended - he is very well prepared for his move to school.
I would highly recommend as my daughter has grown in confidence since attending and loves telling me all about her day and fun activities she's been doing with her friends.
My little one has grown in confidence so much and comes home daily telling us about all of the fun things she has done.
Parental engagement is at the heart of everything they do!
My daughter has been going here since she turned 2, she settled in so well as all the staff are really attentive to her needs, we have recently been supported by them with potty training, which she has now mastered. The routines that they have in the setting make me confident that she will be more than ready when the time comes for her starting school! So grateful for our St Mark's family.
St Mark's Pre-school has been absolutely amazing for my daughter. The staff are so supportive and lovely and make the place very special to attend. There are so many activities and themed events for the children and it's so exciting and fun for them. There are also a lot of crafting materials, a place for home play, sand, water, books, toys- everything! We love St Mark's and would choose it over any other place hands down.
My daughter started attending St Mark's in September and has loved it from the start. She loves going there; the ladies are so resourceful and creative; we can always see what the kids have been up to thanks to the observations in the journal; it's amazing! English is our daughter's second language, and we can see how much progress she's made in English since she started attending preschool. I highly recommend it to all the parents!
The best nursery so far! I will definitely recommend it to everyone who wants the best for their child. My daughter started only a couple of months ago, and she learned so many things already! I am so grateful to see my daughter enjoying and learning new things every day!
My daughter started attending St Mark’s Preschool in September and we both love it! The ladies there are very friendly, attentive, and professional, my little one liked them from the start, that’s why we chose this particular preschool. Additionally, they promote bilingualism, which is very important for us as English is an additional language for our daughter. They do their best to encourage children to get acquainted with other languages. We also love that outdoor activities are part of their routine since our little one loves to spend time out. We highly recommend St Mark’s Preschool.
My eldest child first attended St Mark's the first year they opened and he developed so much in the twelve months he was there, it made my nursery choice for my twins easy! My twins look forward to going every day and they have such strong relationships with the staff it’s so nice to see. I couldn’t have chosen a better preschool to send all three of the boys.
My son attended St Mark’s last year but has had a break during the lockdown, which was purely our choice. He came on leaps and bounds in his time there, and the staff are amazing with him. He goes back on Wednesday, and he is so excited, as are we because we know even in these unprecedented times, he will be safe and will continue to grow. Far and away from the best nursery in town, in my opinion.
