A wonderful preschool. Staff are attentive and caring. My daughter has learnt a lot since attending there and has enjoyed every day. The facilities are brilliant both inside and out. I can’t rate it highly enough.
Both boys' key workers were fantastic and recognised their potential. When I left them I felt very much at peace as I knew the staff cared about my boys and if they were upset I knew they would get the emotional support they needed. I can not recommend Bishop Cornish enough. It is an amazing place with amazing ladies running it.
Bishop Cornish Preschool is simply outstanding. Both my children have attended and I believe that they have benefited in so many ways by doing so. They have both grown in confidence, improved social skills and have learnt a great deal. It is the perfect way to prepare children for school. The teachers are a credit to Bishop Cornish, each of them is kind, caring and passionate about providing the best quality of care for the children. My daughter is always greeted with a friendly and happy face. The way they engage the children in play and a huge range of educational activities is fantastic. It is clear that the children have fun, my daughter can't wait to go! The communication is great - it is so nice to hear and see what the children get up to throughout the week. This preschool really is exceptional and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an outstanding preschool setting for their child.
A wonderful preschool. My boy has had two years here and has thoroughly enjoyed going. He loves all the teachers and has made lots of friends. His overall development and learning has been excellent. Nothing has been too much trouble and they have been excellent with keeping the parents informed via the online learning journal. My boy and myself will really miss it here.
My son has loved coming into preschool every morning. He looks forward to seeing his teachers and friends and always has a smile on his face entering and leaving school. Really enjoyed watching him in the school progressing whilst seeing other kids doing well as well. They have really worked hard with my son's development as he was a little behind, but now he’s flourishing. Would definitely recommend this school to others.
They learn so much about emotional development and feelings, which I feel is very important at preschool age to give them a good understanding of the world.
I have no regrets sending my children to Bishop Cornish Preschool and would highly recommend it to anyone looking at preschools.
She talks a lot about her day and always has fun. As she is one of the youngest children it’s reassuring that the deputy manager finds imaginative ways to explain the big feelings and emotions. My child has really taken on soft or sandpaper to explain emotions and will ask others feelings - does that feel soft or sandpaper?
It’s an innovative and fun setting that stimulates the children’s imagination and learning.
Phonics and writing have improved and during the pandemic the staff have kept the environment normal and safe. Bubbles have become part of our lives and are such an easy concept for the kids to accept and understand. I cannot praise them highly enough, there isn’t a day my child hasn’t come home with stories of her day, all the staff are amazing.
Staff are absolutely fantastic and my son has learnt so much whilst attending the preschool. Very excited about my daughter attending in September. The staff are a credit to the preschool. Thank you all so much!
I cannot praise this Preschool enough! From day one my son fell in love with his new Preschool. He absolutely adores all of the staff who are incredible! They are so caring, fun and enthusiastic. He talks so passionately about his teachers, friends and his day when he gets home. Even after over 3 months away due to COVID he was so excited to return although a bit sheepish on his first day. From day 2 of his return, he wandered in without a backwards glance. To me, this speaks volumes. He is more than ready to start school emotionally and is thriving with his education thanks to Bishop Cornish Preschool. The building and grounds are amazing and the animals are an added bonus. I know he will miss the staff terribly when he goes to school in September. Thank you all for making his time so memorable and special.
The standard of teaching, particularly through play is imaginative and engaging.
Both my children have gained so much confidence since attending and never a day when they didn’t want to go!
The pre-school building and wooded area are modern, well equipped and continually updated with new and creative ideas and activities.
A great place to get children equipped for school life.
I cannot recommend the pre-school enough!
This preschool is fantastic. Outstanding does not cut it! The staff are wonderful and most very experienced in relation to early childhood development. Couldn't recommend more if you are looking for an homely and caring setting.
He is so happy attending and always talks positively about the activities he has done and the things he has learnt.
He has been given some fantastic learning opportunities and the emotional understanding he has gained during this last year is amazing.
Our second son is joining in September and there is nowhere we’d rather he attend. An outstanding setting that we can’t recommend highly enough.
This preschool has been brilliant for my son, he settled in quickly. They have been understanding and supportive of his difficulties. I'm sad that he hasn't been able to do the whole year there, but I'm so glad he had the opportunity. I would highly recommend Bishop Cornish Pre School. The teachers are amazing.
My daughter has had a wonderful time here and has enjoyed every minute of her time at the preschool. She was always full of beans going in and coming out. The staff are all incredibly friendly and well organised. Home/school communication has been outstanding. I know that this setting has given my daughter an excellent foundation to her next steps at the primary school.
The activities planned were always varied, fun and exciting! They always came home with a smile on their face.
I loved the fact they introduced basic phonics to ease their transition into primary school.
My children loved the outside space especially forest school! Bug hunts, toasting marshmallows with a hot chocolate around the fire was their favourite!
I would 100% recommend this pre-school to any parent!!
Compared to other nurseries my children have been too, Bishop Cornish is absolutely outstanding and my only regret is not bringing both of my children there sooner.
There are 4 members of staff at Bishop Cornish who my son sees everyday. Unlike other places there is not a big turn around of staff and my son has really got to know each of them which I believe is really important in helping him feel safe and happy at pre school.
Each staff member knows my son very well and I feel very pleased going to work knowing that he is with people who truly care for him who also go above and beyond to make him feel happy and secure
My son's confidence since being in preschool has increased so much, he loves going to preschool each day and I will be sad when he leaves to go to big school. There is not enough words to say all the things I love here.
My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at preschool, there is a perfect balance of learning and free play, the children have the opportunity to play with their peers and there's plenty of space if they need some quiet time. There's ample outdoor space including climbing equipment and a forest area. They provide a huge range of activities, singing, dancing, arts and crafts, theatre trips and sports day. My son has been very well cared for and his experience has prepared him well for school.
This preschool ticks every box possible; nurturing, caring, stimulating, fun, safe and secure, fabulous resources, excellent staff and even chickens, goats and alpacas! My son thoroughly enjoyed his time here and took with him many happy memories.
The pre-school is an excellent springboard into full-time school. The support from specialist early years teachers and a close-knit team create the perfect balance of learning, play and individual wellbeing. The staff have a genuine passion for helping each child achieve their potential and develop their confidence. The emphasis on outside play, with animals, forest school and a well thought out playground provides a varied and exciting environment for the children. As a busy working parent, I appreciate the common sense approach of the staff and have every confidence in their care for my child. I could not fault the pre-school in any way.
Since joining this preschool my daughter has developed in leaps and bounds. She came from a one to one child care setting and I wasn't sure how she would cope in a busier setting but she has absolutely loved it. She is now a confident individual who loves coming to preschool and seeing the staff and her friends. The staff are wonderful, caring and supportive and their communication with parents is faultless. The setting itself is laid out well and designed to suit the needs of a preschool with a covered outside space to play in in all weather, which my daughter loves. They also have an amazing time exploring the outside grounds. The learning and play experience that she has had at the preschool has made her more than ready for taking the next step to school.
