Meadowside Preschool

My child attended this nursery and the second child is due to start soon. Just wanted to take the time to leave a great review as the staff there are amazing. Very talented and suitable for their roles. I am not supposed to mention any names but I hope this is recorded just how pleased we were with their attitude and work in general. One very happy and lovely nursery worker stood out in particular. The staff made the transition to nursery and school environment for my son so much easier and he's had his challenges.

Both my daughters have attended Meadowside Preschool and I am so happy that we chose to send them there. It’s a lovely, friendly preschool. The team are wonderful and put so much effort into making the children’s time here special and fun. I really like how much time the children spend doing activities outside and exploring their local surroundings and community. This really makes Meadowside stand out. I would highly recommend Meadowside to parents looking for a preschool. It is a lovely, caring and nurturing environment for children. Thanks for all your hard work Meadowside.

My daughter (and I) love Meadowside Preschool. The staff are so friendly and have really made her feel welcome and helped her blossom. The setting is really lovely, with free access to the playing field and loads of outdoor activities like mud kitchens and raised beds to grow things in. The children are involved in lots of activities such as football and baking. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Our twins currently attend Meadowside Preschool and really enjoy it. The team were really welcoming and they settled straight away, and have loved every day there. The outdoor space is lovely with large garden and countryside nearby. The team do a large variety of different activities with the children and post lots of pictures for the parents which is nice, and they also do football coaching sessions. Couldn’t recommend Meadowside highly enough.

She has made friends with children she wouldn't otherwise have met and the staff are incredible making sure my daughter is always happy and well cared for!

Our daughter loves going to Meadowside Preschool breakfast club. She wakes up most mornings asking if it is the day to go to breakfast club. The staff are amazing. Our daughter would love to go to the breakfast club every day if she could.

Staff are friendly and attentive and really show care and develop individual relationships with the children. The environment is gentle and relaxed and with brilliant facilities, including the playing field and lovely nearby countryside. They are very helpful and communicative to parents and all in all it is a delightful experience to send my daughter here. Thank you!

We could not be happier with Meadowside as a childcare setting. The whole team are warm and friendly, and our daughter loves going. The daily updates are informative, and the team are so quick to respond to any questions you might have. The indoor and outdoor space is great, and the additional activities like football are wonderful. The children are supported so well in their learning through play, and our daughter has thrived there.

My daughter loves Meadowside Preschool, and so do I. They have so much outdoor space, and they definitely make use of it. They have football coaches, who visit every week - taking advantage of the playing field. They go on walks through the village - across the field and to the shops, post office and bakery for real-life experiences. We get an update of what the children have been doing every day, with photos and how it relates to their education. They respond really quickly to messages sent via their app. The staff are really lovely and handle the kids brilliantly. I am so glad I moved my daughter here. We also use the after-school tea club for both our girls, one of which, has SEND needs, and they handle her brilliantly. I can't thank them enough.

We have a long relationship with Medowside having both our son and daughter there over the last few years. We could not be happier with the team, the building and just how happy our kids have been. The team have responded to the needs of our children brilliantly and have a keen child-centred focus, feedback is well formulated and regular and outcomes are strong. Our kids see Medowside as a safe and happy place to be and full credit to the team for making it so.

Meadowside Preschool is a brilliant and caring pre school where the staff really go above and beyond. Lots of child-led activities by the staff who really make the effort to understand and work with your child. Added bonus of having specialist run football and forest school each week. Can’t fault it. My children are very happy there.

We couldn't have chosen a better preschool for our daughter, the staff are caring and kind and they did everything to help our daughter settle in and make sure she was happy. The management is also excellent, with great communication with parents. They have lovely outdoor and indoor facilities and they always follow the interest of the children to enhance their curiosity and learning whilst making sure they have fun. We would definitely recommend it to any other parents. Thank you for the great work you do!

They spend time outside in the fresh air and go on walks regularly, really making use of the rural surroundings. They regularly update you on your child's progress and are nurturing if they need additional support. I've been really happy since she joined over a year ago.

We are very pleased. Amazing setting!

Meadowside Preschool was recommended to me by a family friend and I couldn’t be more pleased with the support and guidance that they have provided my son. The incredible team at Meadowside Preschool are so hands on and I love hearing about all of the activities that they undertake. If I ever have any queries the team are very approachable. My son has been at Meadowside Preschool since he was two and a half and will go to the infant school attached in September. It is amazing to see the development and changes in the last two years. My son has recognised his name from an early age with thanks to one member of staff and her team. It still amazes me how high he can count at such a young age, plus the interpersonal skills taught and about the world around them have been priceless. We will miss you in September!

Both of my children have been to Meadowside and my youngest currently attends. It has been brilliant for both of them. My 3-year-old has really come out of his shell and adores the staff. The activities are varied with plenty of time outside or in the outside play area. They seem to get healthy and varied meals which my child always eats! The little local trips are great. I also appreciate how they encourage independence e.g. when putting on shoes.

I am so pleased that my children enjoy coming to breakfast club so much. The staff are brilliant and the children always come home with drawings, often inspired by the staff! Today it was solar systems! It makes me very happy to go to work knowing they are in a safe, caring and stimulating environment! Thank you.

Meadowside is an extremely supportive environment where my daughter has flourished. I particularly like their willingness to use the village and surrounding areas to support learning. I would recommend to anyone.

Meadowside is a fantastic preschool which has the children's interests at the forefront of all they do. The children are nurtured and encouraged to show independence at all times. The range of activities is outstanding and covers all areas of the children's learning. My child is very happy here. The staff all have great knowledge and keep you well informed about your child's development.

My son has been attending Meadowside for some time now and ever since he joined there from his nursery he has been very happy! He had some issues at his previous nursery and this disappeared very quickly at Meadowside as the level of care and interaction is excellent. His learning and general life skills improve every day and they are quick to address and potential learning shortfalls and put things in place to help him. They also communicate very well with the parents and keep us regularly up to date via the app which is much appreciated. The staff are all lovely and I genuinely feel like they care about the children which means a lot.
