Review from Samantha E (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended here since November 2019, she enjoys the activities she does throughout the day, the staff are all fantastic and continued this and offered their help and support during the covid lockdown by ringing and sending out activities to do at home. My daughter is always eager to go every morning. I would highly recommend this preschool

Review from Mehnaz A (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

Amazed at how my child has settled in. He was a little unsettled at first, but so grateful at how the staff all handled him. He loves to come to school now, it took a couple of weeks but he has settled now. A lot of positive feedback as well towards the school and we came out of a recommendation. He gets lots of attention, and I'm really glad to have my son here. He's improved in his understanding, communication and organising. Thank you a lot to all.

Review from Ahmed M (Father of Child) published on 16 November 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Really nice staff at the nursery that looks after your children well. COVID-19 restrictions, they are taking the rules and restrictions very seriously, which is very good.

Nice playground and nice inside too. Only parking is a problem, they're very short of spaces - there aren't many. This could do with improving more parking spaces for parents.

↩Reply from Mariam Kathrada, Nursery Manager at Lydgate Pre-School
Thank you for your lovely feedback and comment you have given the nursery, we really appreciate it.

I fully understand the parking issue, but as we are attached to the school, its something we cant do anything about.

The nursery is very hands-on and has played a vital role in the development of my toddler. In a short time, I have noticed him being much more responsive and eager to learn. Definitely recommend.

Lydgate Pre-School is a lovely nursery with welcoming and approachable staff. The environment is warm and bright ensuring my child feels happy and welcome.
The learning is fun and the staff are very good with the children. My child loves nursery and misses going when it's holidays.

I would recommend the nursery to any parent who is looking for their child.
