Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has just finished his 2 years in pre school. I can't thank the brilliant teachers enough for how they have looked after him, he has absolutely loved he's time at pre school and is so sad to be leaving, he has loved going in every day and there has never been anything to worry about at all. This
is due to the fantastic teachers, they treat the children like there own and give so much time and care to each child.

Our son has just finished his first year of preschool at St Peter Chanel and we are so glad we sent him here. The attention to every child is unmatched and the amazing teachers really do treat all children as if they are their own. The improvement we have seen in our son's development is fantastic and
all down to the brilliant teaching and care from all preschool staff. He really is going to miss all of the lovely teachers over the summer break! Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We feel incredibly lucky to have had 4 ladies as part of our child's early learning journey at St Peter Chanel Pre-School. Each of them brings such warmth, patience, and dedication to the classroom. They've created a nurturing and joyful environment where our child has truly thrived, grown in confidence,
and developed a genuine love for learning. The individual attention and care they give to each child is remarkable, and their communication with parents is always thoughtful and reassuring. Thank you all for the invaluable role you've played - we couldn't have asked for a better team to support our child in these precious early years.

All my 3 boys have attended, with one about to leave and the other having a year left. My eldest son is 12 and is is just a brilliant now as it was when he was there. With all of the same ladies working there from then until now. That says something to me. They are all amazing.
All my children have
been very happy.
Its a very laid back environment with lots of activities and learning opportunities. I could not rate it high enough.

Both of our sons attended the preschool before moving on to the main school, and we couldn't have asked for a better start to their education. The preschool staff were exceptional-so warm, caring, and genuinely dedicated to making learning fun. Even now, with our boys in Years 5 and 8, they still talk
fondly about their time there. It truly left a lasting impression!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both our children attended St Peter Chanel Preschool. Our children had a wonderful experience there. The preschool offers lovely spacious grounds, an educational setting, play equipment, caring teachers, fun activities and an opportunity to make new friends. It's a great way to get kids ready for their
transition to 'big school' and enables them with social, academic and personal development skills. Our children both loved preschool and talk very highly of their younger years even now they are older. We couldn't have asked for more and were regularly updated on their learning and development. It has made our children confident and given them a headstart in their education. The staff are an asset to the preschool with a strong community and family ethos. We are very proud of what our children have and will achieve and believe this to have started in their early years. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending the SPC preschool to potential future families.

Review from Toni L (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of our children attended St Peter Chanel Preschool over a six-year period and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We visited lots of other preschools and nurseries, but this one just felt right from the start. The staff are friendly, welcoming and you can tell they genuinely care about
every child. There are plenty of fun events that give parents the chance to get involved and see their child in the setting - something that really made a difference to us. We're so thankful to all the staff who looked after our babies and we'd absolutely recommend SPC to anyone looking for a preschool.

My daughter attended St Peter Chanel pre-school for the year before she started school and she was very happy there. I was continually impressed with the dedication of the close-knit staff team who between them, have decades of experience working in early years education.
My daughter received a fabulous
education with a focus on phonics and maths as well as much free play. The wonderful calm and quiet setting surrounded by grass and trees provides another amazing resource for the children.
We were able to borrow many amazing learning resources to take home during her time, which also aided her learning.
The pre-school staff are all so hardworking, friendly and committed in their roles. I could not think of a better pre-school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the nursery and the wonderful staff who care for our children every day with so much love, dedication, and professionalism. From the very first day, I felt calm and confident leaving my child in such a warm and caring environment.
The
staff are always smiling, attentive, and responsive to each child's individual needs. The activities they organize are educational, fun, and truly help children develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually. My child comes home every day happy, smiling, and full of new experiences to share.
I wholeheartedly thank all the educators and the management team for the love and care they show each day. You are a very important part of our children's growth and development.
With deep respect and gratitude.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for St Peter Chanel Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.864 for St Peter Chanel Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.864
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Peter Chanel Pre-School is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 34 number of registered child places is 6.8, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
