Very well professionally ran nursery. Always keep you up to date on the app, which is modern. Flexible with parents timings etc. in term of the care itself, my child is always happy to go to the nursery and enjoys her time there. She has made plenty of friends and her English has improved greatly. The staff are great, easy to approach and friendly. They always keep you informed of any issues like children falling etc. and also of any development issues. The facilities are good too, with plenty of toys, outdoor area. My child is always bringing home drawings/painting etc she has done at the nursery. Would really recommend this pre-school to everyone looking for a space for their infant.

My child has shown wonderful growth this term. He is becoming more confident in participating during class activities and expressing his ideas. It's lovely to see his increasing independence and enthusiasm for learning. The preschool provides such a nurturing and supportive environment, and the staff are absolutely brilliant - always encouraging and attentive to each child's needs. It's clear that my child feels happy, valued, and secure, which has helped him thrive in all areas of his early development. His speech has developed really well and he is communicating more clearly and using a wider range of words to share his thoughts.

My child's reading skills have improved, he definitely has added more songs to his song database as he sings new songs we are not familiar with at home. This is important because singing makes him happy. Staff are very approachable and accommodating. My son says his teachers are his friends when asked. The rating below is strictly based on the short period of time my son has been at Lydgate Pre-School. I believe the rating will get better.
