Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Rydes Hill Preparatory School & Nursery for two terms and she loves everything there. This is the best nursery that we've visited for my two kids. We're highly satisfied with how professional one member of staff is and how caring and loving another member of staff is. The catering
is fantastic. Daily activities, especially forest school and ballet are my little one's favourites. During lockdown, they provide online live versions which are fantastic. My girl has learnt so much and we saw how they communicate with children. One member of staff is a super star! We highly recommend this nursery and have no complaints at all. Top ranks at all aspects! They extremely care for non-English speaking kids like mine. Thank you Rydes Hill Preparatory School & Nursery.

The nursery at Rydes Hill has been a wonderfully happy experience for our daughter before she transitions into school life. We have seen a huge jump in her development since joining 6 months ago - from maths and literacy to how she has made friends and learnt life skills. She is truly happy in the environment
which we believe has enriched her life and development.

Rydes Hill Nursery is a calm, nurturing and engaging place for children to learn and develop. My son has been attending for nearly 2 years and he is always happy to go. The nursery run forest school once a week, they have gym lessons and dance lessons. The food is really yummy and is always well received.
The staff think of such wonderful adventures for the children, last week the sound of the week was 'U', so they went out to the forest school area, lay down a blanket and asked the children to look up, 'U' for up! My son came home talking about Dragon Clouds and birds. It is a very special place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Rydes Hill since September and there is such a difference between the quality of teaching and care she receives now, compared to some other childcare settings. It matters to me that my daughter is taught by qualified teaching staff. Her ability in maths, her vocabulary and her
confidence has shot up in just 3-4 months. I already recommend Rydes Hill to anyone who wants a top-quality start for their child.

Rydes Hill nursery is caring, clean, friendly and nurturing. My daughter is learning a letter every two weeks and she has learnt to write some of her letters and numbers. She loves ballet and playing with all the toys.

Rydes Hill is a wonderfully nurturing, family orientated nursery. All three of my children have attended and they have given them the very best start in life, a strong grounding and outstanding preparedness for school.
The breadth of the curriculum and the level of pastoral care is truly exemplary.

I was first introduced to Rydes Hill Preparatory School & Nursery by a happy mother whose two grown-up daughters went to the same school.
I am very pleased with the staff and the parents. We all feel part of the Rydes Hill community through all the events we share.
I have noticed the fantastic results
children obtain (including scholarships) before transitioning to the next stage of education.
I only have excellent feedback about Rydes Hill Preparatory School & Nursery.
