Hedgehogs Preschool at Silverdale

Lovely, caring nursery that takes the time to know the family, not just the child.

My daughter is very happy and learning new things each day, couldnt ask for a better place to send my daughter. Always making sure children and parents are happy and informed.

Thank you for all your hard work.

When my son first started nursery, he cried every single day. He clung to me so tightly that I honestly couldn't see how he would ever settle. Every goodbye broke my heart and I worried constantly about how he was coping. But the staff showed him so much patience, kindness and understanding. They took their time with him, supported him gently, and always messaged me once he'd settled, which meant more than I can explain. Near the end of the summer term, I was suddenly taken into hospital with a life-threatening condition and our whole family was shaken. My son needed comfort, reassurance and stability, and the staff stepped in with genuine kindness, giving him the emotional support I couldn't and helping my family through a frightening time. The difference in him now is incredible. The little boy who once cried and clung to me now runs into nursery full of confidence, excitement and happiness, and he's always so proud of himself. Thank you for the care and kindness you've shown him.

My son started Hedgehogs in March 2025 and my daughter joined in September 2025, both children settled brilliantly. All 3 members of staff are professional, approachable and caring. They all go above and beyond to ensure the children have a lovely experience each day.

My little boy started here in September when he was 18 months old. He was a very clingy baby and we were so worried about him starting. Hedgehogs staff have been absolutely fantastic. From settling in sessions to the communication they are all just amazing and were so patient getting him settled in at his own pace. Our little one has settled in so well now and loves going to nursery. We have already noticed a great difference in his speech and social skills in just the three months that he has been attending. Another thing I love about hedgehogs is the app - it's such a lovely way to see what they have been up to throughout the day. The setting itself is so engaging and welcoming, beautiful decor, toys and fabulous outside space. The three ladies here do an amazing job and I feel so comfortable sending little one in each day - can not thank them enough for the care, compassion and love they give! Highly recommend.
