Review from C C (Mother of Child) published on 2 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy started here in September 2023 and he has come on leaps and bounds, when he started his speech wasn't great but within a couple of months, everyone was already noticing the change it was amazing. He also has a rare genetic disorder which has been very hard for us as parents to put our trust in other people to look after him but we're so glad we did as all the girls have been absolutely fantastic with him and I honestly know he's in safe hands at Mickle Trafford.

Overall Experience

Excellent care from the staff. My little boy has been really happy here from the age of two, now four. He is happy and has got some great social skills built from attending the setting. He loves the outside space and forest school. Staff are professional and encourage him in all aspects of pre-school life. I would recommend the setting.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been going here since he was 2. He loves it. The staff treat the children like their own and they are all lovely. Highly recommend this preschool. My little boy loves the outside play area and they have the forest school in which they also do lots of activities. My little boy has come on so much since being in pre-school, and they cater to the children's individual interests and needs.

Overall Experience
Satisfied, both children are happy and enjoy going to pre-school.

I would appreciate it if there was more attention around them eating their snacks and lunch. Despite the fact that all the meals are available they come back home hungry.

Review from E M (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My two children attend Mickle Trafford Preschool & Nursery. My eldest is in the preschool and youngest has just started the nursery.
My children are so happy there. The staff treat them as their own and they have always been so kind to both my children and myself. The staff are all lovely people who genuinely care about the children. They will pick up on interests and tailor activities for the children. They also create an engaging atmosphere for the children with the emphasis being on play.
My eldest loves the freedom to be able to play inside and outside and the independence and responsibility he's given.

I was nervous about my youngest starting nursery, but the kindness from the staff has helped him settle very quickly. The only thing I'd change is the option to bring a lunch in.

Review from Emma B (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy loves going to pre-school, he gets so excited knowing it’s a pre-school day and always comes out with a big smile and lots of stories. The staff are lovely, bubbly, friendly and approachable. The activities seem to be varied and interesting with lots of time outdoors including little trips out around the village which I think is great. It’s lovely getting the pictures again on the new app and updates about what the class have been doing. My only minor negative would be that it would be helpful to have some more flexibility around making changes to set days rather than having to pay for an additional day. If staff ratios allow it it seems silly not to allow a child to swap a day here and there. Overall very pleased with the pre-school and thank you to all the staff who have worked hard to get the setting back to its settled state.

We are very pleased with this setting and with our daughter's progress since she started to attend. She has become more independent but knows there are rules, which we believe is important.

Overall Experience

The staff really go above and beyond to help in any way they can, I’ve been so impressed with how they’ve helped to settle my child into their routine and the care they give, it really does feel like a home-from-home environment. They take the time to chat with parents and answer questions on drop off/handover which is really reassuring.
