Overall Experience
We are happy with our experience at the nursery. Every member of staff in the baby room is lovely and works so hard. They worked with us to settle our daughter in and she loves going to school. It's also incredibly handy to be able to drop her off at the same location as our other child.

S4YC has been fantastic for my daughter with her early development and allowing her to interact with other young kids. Really lovely nursery and the staff are incredible, really convenient being encompassed in the same school as my son goes too.

Our son is really happy at S4YC preschool nursery. He struggles with new settings and people, and the staff were so kind and helpful making sure he was settled. He loves to attend, and I sense all the staff are so caring, particularly as my son has been slower to hit certain milestones. The staff have been proactive in making sure my son has the support he needs and that they want to be part of supporting him, this has been so helpful and reassuring. Thank you to you all

I have always found great communication from staff especially the manager of the nursery, and always supportive. Messages being sent via mobile was always answered promptly.
Manager has always been emphatic when my child has been unwell and could not attend the nursery. Manager has consistently been good with all communications regarding my child. My child has been mostly happy going in to meet their key worker on a daily basis. When I see my child after work, he always speaks positively about his key worker and the nursery, I can tell he is kept happy at his nursery and this makes us extremely happy as well.

We have been very happy with our child's time so far at the pre-school. My child can struggle with the separation when being dropped off but staff are always very warm and friendly, they also reassure us that our child has settled in well after being left. The setting has a lovely mixture of activities and toys. There is always a lovely hand over with short info on how our child has been through the day and whether they ate well at lunch time. More feedback daily on the group activities and topics, personal & social developments and child's favourite activities would give even better connection to home. We like the outdoor area and equipment the setting has. We would love to hear more of how this is utilised by the children and if group games are taking place.
Our child is very chatty about their day and gives a lot of positive responses to their time spent here

Overall Experience
A great pre-school run by compassionate and caring staff who have got to know our little boy as an individual. The class systems are awful to use, not intuitive at all. The fact that you have to pay to use some functionality of the system is also not right.

I have been really happy with the preschool. My daughter struggles with separation anxiety but the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive to make the transition at the start of the day is as smooth as possible, and by the end of the day she doesn't want to leave. There are fantastic resources to explore, and my daughter is often chatting away about activities that she has participated in throughout the day. The centre is always clean and it is well set out to support the children in becoming independent. There are a variety of sessions available including breakfast club and after school club - allowing incredible flexibility to 'build' your day in a way that you don't generally get from nursery settings.

Fantastic setting my daughter absolutely loves it here. The staff and manager are so friendly and always go above and beyond what is expected of them. My daughter is always excited to go into 'school' and includes the staff in her list of friends. The staff have been incredibly supportive with regards to helping toilet train my daughter which is fantastic! Absolutely lovely setting and as parents we are invited in for things such as parents afternoon tea for mother's Day and a play day for fathers day. I wouldn't send my daughter anywhere else.

Clare and the staff are so welcoming and accommodating. They really have the childrens best interests at the heart of all they do. When I leave my child with them, I know she will be cared for like she is their own, and as a working mum, that's incredibly reassuring.
