The staff are truly amazing-so kind, caring and dedicated. They provide a wide variety of fun activities, and my son especially loves the woodworking at the tinkering station. It's been wonderful to see his confidence and creativity grow.
Thank you for giving our boys such a happy, safe and special start to their learning journey. We'll always be so grateful!
I have been caring for children going to this preschool from the time it opened in 2021 and before they took over another nursery. They have always been very professional and show great care, attention and kindness to all the children. The current child I care for will be leaving for primary school at the end of term, and the staff, especially her key worker Michelle, have nurtured her into a confident and well rounded child. She always is happy to be dropped to preschool and has many friends. Her knowledge in all areas has been encourages and expanded. A preschool I am happy to recommend.
A safe, fun, caring environment that challenges Margot in every way. I'm so glad we sent Margot to Newlands. When Margot had a wobble and struggled separating from us at the door, the team did everything they could to return Margot back to her usual self! A huge thank you to everyone for all they have done for Margot.
Thank you so much, we are so excited for her to start her next chapter at big school. Although she had some anxiety it is great to see it easing away. We look forward to having her little brother in a year or so!
Mikey always has fun and talks about what he has learned and done at school. The teachers are friendly and helpful with what is needed.
Thank you so much for the feedback, we really enjoyed having you for our stay and play. M is so excited for his next journey to big school and we know he will smash it!
The team are really focused on early development and are so helpful and encouraging to the kids.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. R has been an amazing character and we are looking forward to welcoming his little sister soon.
We have always been very happy with the staff and facilities and would highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your review, we have loved having your daughter with us. She is a huge character and will be missed dearly.
Newlands has been a very good experience for both us and Logan, especially over the last few months in the lead up to school. Logan always comes home saying he's had a good day and had fun.
Thank you very much. It was lovely to see you at our Fathers Day stay and play event. L has come a long way since starting with us, he is such a sweet little boy I know he will enjoy his time at big school in September.
Since Benjamin joined Newlands Early Years, his development has been amazing, and we are super proud of the journey he has been on. This is driven by the care and attention the team at Newlands have given him. Thanks for all that you do!
Thank you so much, we have loved welcoming you and your family. Both your boys are very kind, funny and confident. I know that B will smash it when he goes to big school in September. I look forward to watching him continue to grow over the school fence.
We love Newlands, our boys have loved every moment, and we'll be very sad to say goodbye for the last time this summer.
Thank you so much for your review. It has been wonderful being part of both your children's learning journey throughout the years and we will miss you all terribly however I know that he is more than ready for his next journey and will do great things as he grows.
Watching Ollie grow more confident every day has been amazing. His ability to try new things has been a pleasure to watch me and his mum. Are delighted with the help and knowledge Newlands have taught Oliver. We can't thank you all enough for setting him up for 'big' school. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your feedback. O is such a sweet, caring and funny little boy, we know he will smash it when he goes to big school.
I took my child to Newlands Preschool yesterday for his trial session ahead of starting next week, and I couldn't be happier.
I was very nervous as I've never left him with anyone other than family, but from the reassuring phone call the day before-where they took time to answer all our questions-I already felt more at ease.
When we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly. The staff were incredibly kind and made my child a priority straight away. He settled in so quickly, which showed just how safe and happy he felt.
He had a wonderful time, and it's clear the environment is thoughtfully set up for children to thrive. The staff are caring, confident, and attentive.
I left feeling completely reassured about the week ahead-and most importantly, so did my child. It's such a lovely, nurturing environment and I'm really excited for him to start.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad that you and little man feel safe and secure within our preschool. We cannot wait to see his little personality grow as he does over his time with us. We are glad that you also trust us with your little world.
What stands out most is how well they support each child's individual needs while working closely with parents. They've been amazing with our son, especially when he feels overwhelmed. Thanks to their patience and understanding, he's now much more confident managing his emotions.
They've also done a fantastic job supporting his learning and development, and we love seeing regular photo updates on the app.
We couldn't be happier with the care and support they provide.
Thank you so much! What lovely comments, I cannot wait to share them with the team! We are super proud of little man and how much he has progressed with support from you and us. He is amazing!
On the days he is attending that setting he wakes up very early and cant wait to go and meet all his friends and teachers. I find them to be amazing and very attending to his needs. He is having time of his life there.
My daughter has been going since September last year and has absolutely thrived here. The staff are all fantastic and so caring. She comes home telling us all the exciting things she has done each day and loves looking through the photos of what she's done that have been uploaded to Tapestry. She will be very sad to leave Newlands when she goes to school next year!
My daughter has loved 'school' since day one at Newlands, she gets excited to go in and tells me all about her day filled with excitement.
I love that they are always updating the online parent portal with pictures and updates same day so you know exactly what there up to and can encourage my daughter to remember what shes done and tell me all about it.
All the lady's/Teachers i have had nothing but positive vibes from, they provide detailed handovers on pick up and clearly care for all the children shown in how well they know every individual child. My daughter was in nappies when she started and is now potty trained, they have fully supported through the transition.
Overall, my daughter loves going to Newlands and even on her days off is asking to go back, i as a parent have had no issues and think their communication is 10/10. Considering how nervous i was with starting this journey for my daughter its been nothing but great for her
All the staff at Newlands Early Years Centre are honestly amazing. Every single one of them has their own special qualities, and you can really see how much the kids benefit from it. They're so hands-on, caring, and genuinely loving with the children.
My daughter absolutely loves going to pre school-she's never once said she didn't want to go! They do so many fun, creative learning activities, and it's clear how much thought they put into making each day exciting.
I also love the app, where they keep you updated on what the kids get up to each day. It's so nice being able to see what she's been doing.
We couldn't be happier with Newlands & the amazing staff. It's such a lovely place for the kids to grow & learn!
My child settling in quickly @ Newlands nursery as all the staff are fun, kind, and welcoming to the children. I am impressed their well plan activities on daily bases. The children take part in wide range of activities which support all areas of her development. The staff are always communicating to us and supportive especially from her key person. I will recommend this nursery to anyone.
I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Newlands Early Years Centre. Edward isn't the easiest of children, however he loves his time at the nursery and everyone has been great at learning/knowing who he is.
My child has absolutely thrived since joining and comes home every day excited to tell me all about the fun he's had!
It's clear that the team puts so much effort into creating an engaging, safe, and joyful environment for all the children. Thank you to all the amazing staff for everything you do - you truly make a difference every single day.
The staff here are amazing and put their all into everything and you can see how much they truly love their jobs and adore the children.
Both my children loved going to this pre-School and we will miss it loads.
If I had my time again I would 100 percent send them here.
There is always so much for the children to do including mini trips out or having guests come in, the outside area has recently been re done and have some really good space. My daughter loved getting involved in everything including woodwork, cooking, gardening, science experiments.
Staff are also really good at keeping you in the loop with their milestones through the app.
Highly recommended this pre-School
