YMCA Merstham Hub Pre-school

We are really happy with the YMCA. Our son is excited to go each day and often even asks us to take him because he enjoys it so much. He has made lovely new friends and we're very pleased with the educational activities, he's learning so much and developing important skills. We also appreciate the extra opportunities like dance classes, which make his days even more enriching. The staff are always kind, welcoming and attentive and we truly feel he is getting the very best care and early education there.

The staff at this nursery have been consistently lovely, warm, and genuinely committed to the children in their care. From our very first day, it was clear that this is a setting built on strong values, teamwork, and a real sense of community. Communication has always been excellent, with staff keeping us well-informed about the boys' progress, their daily activities, and any important updates. This openness and reliability made us feel confident and reassured throughout our time here.

Although we are now preparing to leave, we do so with a great deal of gratitude. The boys have been incredibly happy at this nursery, and they often came out at the end of the day with big smiles on their faces. They were excited to go in each morning, which speaks volumes about the relationships they built and the care they received. It has been wonderful to watch them grow, learn, and gain confidence in such a positive environment. Your hard work and kindness have meant a great deal to our family.

They always have so many fun activities on like when the reptiles came in and the baby chick's. It really makes this pre school so special.

My children have attended YMCA for around a year and a half and they absolutely love it. The staff at YMCA are beyond amazing. I have them to thank for improving their speech greatly as well as motor skills. They have learnt so much being there, from letters, colours, shapes, numbers, writing their name, cooking, the list goes on. My children come home so happy everyday and always tell me about their adventures at nursery. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you again for making my twins so happy :-)

My daughter absolutely adores this pre school and so do I, I find the staff so lovely and friendly. They do so much fun things and have really taught my daughter a lot, I would highly recommend this pre school.

It'll be very sad when our children have to leave and move on!

YMCA Merstham Hub Pre-school has been the perfect start to my son's education. The staff are brilliant, attentive and kind. We're so happy with how our son is developing and growing in confidence, and there's no doubt that the preschool has played a big part in this!

My daughter settled in so well when she started thanks to the lovely ladies at the pre-school. She is flourishing since and I never had any concerns. I honestly can't even think of anything they could do better. All staff are very friendly and supportive, really couldn't ask for more. Huge thank you to the manager, deputy manager and all the ladies for their brilliant job.

The way the staff helps my son to improve day-to-day tasks is fantastic and I can see lots of good changes in him. Thank you!

My daughter started in September 2024, and settled so well as she was very well supported by staff! As her first time going into a setting, the staff supported us as parents and communicated with us and gave regular updates over the weeks! My daughter loves it at preschool and is very settled.

I'm very happy with this nursery and so is my daughter she has improved with her communication, vocabulary and socialising. The staff are very kind and friendly. I would recommend it.

Overall, we are incredibly grateful for the wonderful services offered by this nursery. It is a place where children are not only looked after but are encouraged to thrive and grow in a loving and supportive environment. Thank you for all that you do!

My child and I were always greeted with a warm smile and made to feel welcome. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, answering all of my questions and providing great advice on my child's development. The variety of activities available was impressive. The staff took excellent care of my child and were always available to answer any questions I had. The nursery also offered a wide range of educational tools and supplies, making it a great place for my child to learn and grow. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for high-quality care and excellent service.

Excellent Pre School children are really looked after from ice creams when it is hot to pizza and garlic bread when it’s cold. A range of educational experiences including, chicks hatching at Easter was lovely going in as a parent to see the chicks. The management team are brilliant managers, as well as all the pre-school members, who are always happy and easy to talk to at handover. The team are caring and compassionate and really do go that extra mile. Highly recommended.

I’m so glad I chose YMCA Merstham Hub Pre-School for my children. They have had a great time at YMCA. I’m so grateful for having them in our children's lives. They were caring, kind and considerate to all of our needs. Amazing team that understand and don’t judge. Thank you all so much once again!

My daughter has just finished two and a half wonderful years at the YMCA Merstham Hub Pre-School. She skipped in every morning and was always greeted with a smile from every team member. Their use of the online learning journal meant that I could see pictures at least weekly of the activities she was doing, the friends she was playing with and the teachers she loved spending time with. It is a wonderful pre-school and has prepared her to take her next steps with confidence!

My daughter has been attending the YMCA Pre School in Merstham for just under one year. We are so happy with the progress she has made there. She loves attending and they do so many fun activities with her, including dance and music classes, animal encounters and lots of indoor and outdoor play. The Pre school is managed brilliantly and they keep parents in the loop about children’s progress and what they have been up to with lots of photos and parent+key worker catch ups. They cover lots of key skills in preparing the children for school but it is all done in a fun way. They also cover lots of important life and daily skills like road safety, recycling and preparing food. My daughter has one year left at this Pre school and I already know we will both be sad when she has to leave. All the staff are very enthusiastic and caring and I feel confident leaving her in their care.

A big thank you, to a lovely team.

Highly recommended.

Both of our daughters have now attended YMCA Merstham Hub Pre-school, and we could not be more grateful for the nurturing support that they both received. All staff go above and beyond to support the children, regardless of their individual needs. My daughter goes to preschool every day and doesn't look back, which tells us that she always feels safe, happy and understood. I would not hesitate to recommend the preschool to friends, family and neighbours. The preschool is a little gem in the heart of a community.
