St David's Prep

Both my children attend St. David's Prep School and soon my 3rd will be attending pre-reception. We can't praise the school enough! Our children are so happy and have learn't so much from behaviour to learning an abundance of academics and creativity. The stuff are fantastic, approachable and friendly with upholding professionalism. The school take great care with education, emotional support and giving the children a boost of confidence within themselves to thrive.

My daughter has loved her time in Pre Reception. We were nervous about the move from a nursery setting but thanks to the caring staff, warm environment and incredibly friendly older children she has absolutely thrived! I can't speak highly enough of everyone there. She's learning Spanish, goes to forest school and various little school trips, does PE and impresses me every day with her numbers and phonics. It's been the best decision we've made and can't recommend it highly enough.

My daughter loves going to St David's, and is really thriving there, emotionally as well as academically. The care and education they receive is outstanding, and it is such a nurturing environment. I feel completely confident that I've made the best choice for my daughter.

We really value the community feeling of the school as it creates such an engaging environment for the children to learn in and grow in, pre-reception included. There is a huge difference between the quality of care and learning pre-reception at St Davids and other pre schools in the area. I cant imagine a better place for them to start their school journey and would highly recommend to anyone considering it.

I've been privileged to see and experience a wide range of day nurseries since 2019. My youngest started St David's in September 2024 and I cannot put into words the incalculable difference of a pre-reception prep compared with a day nursery. I would reach the max word limit too quickly by talking about the wonderful opportunities available at St David's - the facilities, hosted events, outdoor space, day trips (library, train, park, supermarket, garden centre, post office), life skills, learning, early reading encouragement, languages, music classes, actual PE/sport lessons, weekly forest school, reception readiness, community feel... moving our child to St David's before Reception started was the best thing we did! There is such a deep-rooted nurturing feel - I could not imagine him being anywhere else in this last year before school - the stark difference he experienced cannot be put into words. We are so happy - I'd give more than 5/5 if I could!

My daughters attended pre-reception at St David's Prep and had a fantastic experience! Both were quite shy when they started but have really opened up during their time there. It is a nurturing and loving environment where children are encouraged to learn in a fun and engaging way. They learn phonics and numbers, do forest school twice a week, have Spanish, music and PE lessons every week. The staff are very caring and loving and take each child's personality into account. I feel pre-reception at St David's is certainly more educational than local pre-schools. Currently three of my daughters attend St David's and it is a lovely school across all years. The school has a strong ethos and a warm nurturing culture where children thrive and learn well. Would not choose any other pre-reception setting for our fourth daughter (a baby at the moment). A big thank you to the staff for their hard work and efforts to make pre-reception so much fun and educational!

The pre reception teachers at St David's are lovely, kind, welcoming and there really is a family feel. All office staff are also lovely and the manager has been a very kind and understanding person for us on our journey so far. There is an approchable and inviting/open door policy feel - something which I think is key when choosing a school for your child.

The curriculum is well-rounded, blending foundational skills with creative and engaging activities. We love how they incorporate activity based learning, making education enjoyable while instilling a love for learning in the children. The variety of extracurricular activities offered also allows our daughter to explore different interests.

My daughter and son both attended pre-reception at St Davids. They both really enjoyed their time and we were very impressed with their progress. It has a strong community and family ethos where every child is cherishe and challenged. The facilities are continuously improving and the staff are fantastic.

Due to the small size of the school, the children in all year groups know each other which makes the little ones feel so welcome.

My child has thrived at St David's. Her confidence in a group setting has grown. Staff are wonderful and it's a pleasure to take her in. She loves the forest school and the trips they are being taken on to build confidence before moving into reception.

There's so much more I could comment on but ultimately we could not be any happier.

My daughter is so happy at St David’s and her education has been pushed far beyond anything we expected. She spends so much time outdoors exploring nature, has lessons from specialist music and language teachers, and is so keen to learn she wants me to ask her spellings all the time! St David’s has instilled in her already such a love of learning, but also a joy in understanding the world, her friends and everything around her. The pre-reception teachers are outstanding and she looks forward to every day at school and comes out exhausted and happy.

Our child is thriving at St David’s. She loves going in each morning and comes out with many excited tales of everything she’s done. The teachers inspire and the setting facilitates creativity and learning.

Wonderful, nurturing and individualistic care. Perfect for children who want to play and learn. Staff take a lot of time to get to know the children. I’ve enjoyed watching my daughter bloom and grow in confidence!
