Gad's Hill School

Both of my children thoroughly enjoyed their time at the nursery and left feeling confident, well-prepared, and excited to begin their school journey. I couldn't be happier with the experience they have had, both in the nursery and as part of the wider school community.

My child is very happy here, and have developed her confidence and relationships beyond expectation. She particularly enjoys the forest school which is a facility unmatched by other local nursery settings.

My son has been incredibly well supported whilst at KN. He initially found it challenging as he had always remained with family however the care provided by the wonderful staff in KN have made this transition a great deal easier. It is lovely to know how cared for he is and the staff go above and beyond. His confidence has improved greatly.

Gads Hill School Nursery has provided a warm, nurturing, and inspiring environment where our son has truly flourished. The caring and dedicated staff go above and beyond to ensure every child feels happy, valued, and supported. The engaging activities and excellent learning opportunities have helped build our son's confidence, curiosity, and love of learning. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Gads Hill School Nursery to any family looking for exceptional early years care and education.

We are very happy with the school and grateful for the care and encouragement my son has received.

Our daughter has absolutely loved her time at this nursery. From the very beginning she has been welcomed into such a warm, caring and nurturing environment. She has grown so much in confidence, independence and social skills, and we have seen incredible progress in her learning and development. Every day she comes home happy, excited to tell us about her day and proud of what she has achieved. Communication with parents has always been excellent, and we have always felt reassured that she is safe, happy and truly cared for. The activities are creative, engaging and educational, and it is clear how much thought and effort goes into every day. We are so grateful for everything the nursery has done for our daughter and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a kind, supportive and inspiring place for their child.

The staff not only provide unwavering support to the children but also maintain thoughtful and open communication with parents. Our daughter is thriving, learning, and growing every day and we are deeply grateful for the love and encouragement she receives.

Both our daughters have been in Kinder Nursery at Gad's Hill and I cannot praise it enough. It's such a happy environment where the children always look forward to going in. There are always many different activities for them to learn and engage in. They particularly love forest school and there are opportunities for parents to participate in this also. My daughters have picked up some Italian, become confident in their phonics and number activities. I believe it's given them an opportunity to flourish, increased their confidence and set them up for school. All the teaching staff and all the teaching assistants are just amazing and I can't thank them enough for the positive influence they have had on my girls.

My child has thrived at Gad's Hill. He has come on so much. The staff are amazing and he has progressed in all aspects of his development. I feel fully supported as a parent and can bring any issues I have to the staff. Not only is my child part of Gad's he feels a part of the wider school. There is so much on offer; forest school, music and movement sessions, weekly show and tell as well as differing activities each day. My child absolutely loves it and runs in every morning with a huge smile on his face. The children are part of a loving and supportive environment that really shows.

From the moment we set foot at Gad's Hill and were greeted by so many happy, smiling children and young adults, we immediately sensed the positive culture and environment. This was further confirmed after speaking with the manager, whose hands-on approach and leadership by example were evident. The nursery team, where our daughter has recently started, instantly inspired confidence. The fact that our daughter runs into nursery every day without a second glance is a true testament to the nurturing and supportive environment in which she is thriving.

My little one absolutely loves attending the Kindergarten at Gad’s. He chats to me about what he has learnt through play and storytelling, with such excitement in his voice! The staff communication through the app is fantastic. I can see a window into how the kind and helpful staff guide the pupils through enriching learning. The main difference for me, between Gad’s and another nursery is the quality of teaching staff. They are skilled and diligent in how they nurture the children that they care for. kindergarten at Gad’s is not just a day care service , it is the start of an education and opportunity to be a part of a wonderful community.

The nursery has a lovely, pleasant and inviting environment which was something really important to us when choosing a nursery. He loves the playground and forest school activities.

The teaching staff are exceptional and I will forever and whole-heartedly recommend Gad’s Hill Nursery. Thank you!

We have been thrilled with Gads Hill School as our choice of nursery. Our daughter has skipped in and out every day since she started her journey there. We really enjoy how positively the teachers and all school staff communicate with the children. All of the teachers are so approachable and very caring. It’s a wonderful, safe, happy environment for our daughter to thrive in.

Being an ex-student it was only natural to explore the opportunities Gad’s Hill had to offer for my 3-year-old daughter. I had attended an open day and knew from this moment it was the place I wanted her to start her education chapter. From the initial enquiry, the communication I have received has been amazing. I was kept up to date throughout the whole process before starting. Now we are a term in and I receive regular school updates, photos and daily updates through the app. My daughter loves going into “big school” and is becoming more confident as the weeks go on. The staff are great, from the admin team that work hard behind the scenes, to the front desk and then to the teachers themselves. I would always recommend Gad's Hill to be everyone’s first choice.

My son has loved every second spent at Gad's Hill. Every morning he asks if he has school today! There are a wide range of activities available, my son's favourite being forest school. The teachers are always readily available for any queries.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Gad's Hill. Her teachers have been brilliant and really helped her to excel during her early years period. She has become a confident, enthusiastic little girl and certainly wouldn't have the charismatic, bubbly personality that she has without the guidance and structure that she receives here. The education is thorough and of high standards in all areas. I am truly thankful that my daughter can be a part of such a friendly and warm learning environment.

My son attended the nursery at Gad’s in 2018 and my daughter attends now. We are so happy with the warm, safe and friendly atmosphere, the activities provided for the children are amazing and varied. Both of my children love going in and often don’t want to come home because they are having so much fun! They have both made fantastic progress while at the nursery and my son is flourishing in the kindergarten now. They have both made friends for life and we couldn’t be happier with the provision.

My daughter was extremely well looked after and flourished at this nursery. The setting allows the children to learn in a bright, vibrant and comfortable setting and the communication with staff is outstanding.

We are very happy and impressed with our daughter's progress since joining this nursery. She is extremely happy and content and loves each day she comes in. We would happily recommend this nursery to anyone.
