My son is coming on great since moving to Launchpad, the girls are always happy to listen to any concerns or comments I have and keep me informed on the progress of them for example toilet training. Whatever I ask it's never too much. I look forward to my son going full-time in April.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It's a pleasure having your son in nursery, and watching him grow and develop in all areas of his learning, he is gaining so many new skills, it's lovely to read how happy you are with the care we provide and it's a pleasure to have your son at Launchpad pre-school, we look forward to him attending full time in April.
He has a great bond with the teachers and has in all rooms which he has been in.
He also really likes all the food and eats plenty.
Our cook has a good relationship with the children, she will be so pleased with your kind words and feedback, that he really likes all the food and eats plenty.
My son is so happy to go to the preschool and he learns a lot, counting, colors, shapes, numbers and currently learning his name and letters.
Well done, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words. We have enjoyed teaching and watching you son develop, he is gaining so many skills that will help him with his transition into school.
Absolutely no more words than amazing. My son started here at the space station doing 15 hours when he was 2 - now he’s just turned 4 and is doing the full 30 hours and I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better setting for him. All staff members are professional and polite. A year ago I was worried about his speech that’s perfect now through the help of the nursery. Down to the food is excellent healthy options. During the day you can request how they are through an app, with all updates on what he’s been up to and what he’s eaten, also observations are made by the child-specific key worker, also feedback when you collect your child at hand over. Managers are excellent when you need help with anything. My son also has conditions, since he’s been there it’s all been looked after in the correct way with no issues. I could go on and on about this nursery. I couldn’t fault them and I’m so glad I chose him to go here. They are all real living angels thank you all so so much!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! It means the world to us. I am so happy to hear all the lovely feedback and that your time with us has been a very positive experience. We aim to do the the very best by all of our children and families and I couldn't be more proud of the hard work the team has done in supporting your little boy.
Thank you for your very kind words
Can not fault this nursery. Staff go above and beyond for the children here. My son has built some great relationships with both the staff and the children he looks forward to going in every day. At first, I was worried about how he was going to cope at preschool as he struggled so much socially but since starting here he developed not only his social skills but his confidence skyrocketed. One of the main things I like about this nursery is that the children have activities planned for them every week. Every week, they have a music man who comes in to teach them music, and they also have dance, which my son really enjoys.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your kind words means the world to me and my team. We aim to do the very best by all of our children and our families so again thank you so much. We enjoy having your little one with us and it has been a pleasure to watch him grow into the sociable and confident little boy he has become.
Since my daughter has started Launchpad Preschool in November the care and attention given to her is very attentive and nurturing. Her key worker and other staff within preschool continue to stretch her to her best ability and ensure she is progressing in all aspects. Communication home is excellent when addressing issues, observations and events, they are all relayed home quickly via the app and also reiterated on hand over at the end of the day. The facilities and resources are excellent and I feel as a parent that the staff could not provide better care for my child and they thrive in their work which reflects in the children.
Thank you for your lovely review, it's a pleasure looking after your little girl and supporting her through her early years.
Since my child has started here he has come on so much. He is fully toilet trained and is thriving. He loves all the staff and has made friends. He has settled in perfectly and enjoys coming. I couldn’t be happier.
It's great to hear that your little one loves coming to nursery and we are so pleased with the progress he has made! Thank you very much for your great review, it's much appreciated.
My eldest son went to Space Station and had such a wonderful time there that as soon as my youngest got his 15 hours I went straight to Launchpad Pre-school. The staff are wonderful; warm, helpful, polite and they seem to really enjoy their job. The nursery has a wonderful atmosphere with lots of toys and books etc. My son is autistic with limited communication and a developmental delay and they're supporting him brilliantly, he loves his time with them and they're really helping his confidence grow.
My son loves the nursery and always comes home really happy and tells me all the fun things he has done. The staff are really friendly. I have never had any issues during my son's time there and hoping my other son will be able to attend
Thank you very much for your great review, it's much appreciated. It's great to hear that your son loves attending Launchpad Pre-School and we look forward to caring for his brother too.
Can't thank the management and staff at this nursery enough. My child started end of November and in a matter of 4 weeks he has come on so much. They were patient with him, as he took a lot longer to settle but they are all warm and welcoming to every individual. Honestly, I have picked the best nursery for my child. They update the Famly app so you know about naps and what your child's eaten also get verbal communication at the end of the day when you pick up. He always talks about staff and what he has been doing and he seems so happy here. So thank you all at Launchpad.
Thank you very much for your great review, it's much appreciated. It's great to hear that your son is enjoying his time at the Launchpad Pre-School. We are also pleased to hear that you are enjoying our inhouse Family app and the updates. Thank you from everyone at the Launchpad Pre School.
I would recommend launchpad to anyone.

Meet the Team (1)
Hi, my name is Lynne, I have over 25 years of experience working within the childcare sector. My passion is to give children an exciting start to their education by teaching them life skills and giving them experience and different opportunities.
I believe that every child’s learning should be designed around each individual child to give them the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
I thrive on supporting all children with their learning and development and have gained a wealth of experience working in a range of early years settings I have intensive knowledge and understanding of working with children who need specialist support.
I am able to pass my experience on to my team and support them to give all the children a valuable start to their education.
