As a grandmother, I have seen both my granddaughters gain a love of learning while attending Nina's Pre-school at Brookside. The pre-school provides a home from home nurturing and enabling environment and both granddaughters settled extremely well. Information from the pre-school is shared
consistently with parents, as well as wider family members. This allows me to understand what my granddaughter has been doing in sessions and talk with her about the many varied activities she has done. The pre-school provides and supports a smooth transition for children to Brookside Primary School.

We are so glad we picked Nina's at Brookside for our little boy. The staff are so caring and give regular updates on progress. It's a great setting, involving lots of fun outdoor activities which my son loves.

Fantastic, nurturing environment. Due to the location of the nursery, it helps prepare for the transition into reception.
The staff are very friendly, caring and welcoming.
Communication is fantastic with daily updates on activities performed.
Overall, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

My son has been attending Nina's pre-school for the past 5 months and he absolutely loves it. The staff are wonderful and make my little boy feel very comfortable. He has progressed massively with his speech and learning and has grown so much in confidence. I especially love how the setting is very
much a nature-nurture setting and my son loves that he gets to spend so much time outside. The staff are very good at keeping you informed and send daily updates and pictures of what they have been doing throughout the day. I can honestly say I couldn't have picked a better pre-school for my little boy and I would highly recommend it.

A lovely friendly nursery for my son and daughter. The staff are very welcoming and make the children feel secure and happy. There are lots of outdoor activities with visits to the woods and park which is great for understanding nature and exploring. My children are always excited to go in the
morning and love to tell me about the fun things they have been up to. Overall a great place for my children to learn and play to get them ready for school.

Our son absolutely loves attending preschool. The setting is a truly wonderful place for a child to learn, make friends and prepare for school. The staff are exceptional. We happily entrust our son to the friendly, gentle, thoughtful and tolerant staff. We are especially happy that the nursery is on
the site of our small local primary school, as it is familiar, convenient and an essential part of our community. The thoughtful daily activities planned make valuable use of our quiet streets, woodlands, green spaces and play-parks, as well as the excellent resources on site. Our son will be able to seamlessly progress from preschool to reception because of this wonderful safe setting and the dedication given by the amazing team. Thank you!

My daughter is just starting this nursery. She seems happy and more sociable with other kids. Her interactions with other kids is getting better. So far my husband and I are very happy with her at Nina's Pre-School at Brookside. More outdoor space and activities are other excellent points. Thank
you.

Brookside Pre-School is a beautiful setting. The staff are so friendly and approachable, they provide my son with so much care and attention. They take the time at the end of each session to discuss all the things that they have done and they send lots of photos. My son has a speech delay and
communicates with some sign language, staff have been amazing with helping him to develop his signing skills. Nina's have exceeded all expectations and I am so happy my son is able to go there.

My child started attending 1 day a week from January 2020, I think it's testament to a wonderfully nurturing and caring environment that my child was able to return after a 6-month lockdown break without a worry. She looks forward to attending and spending time with the staff and other children who
attend whom she is forming lovely attachments to. I was very pleased to see the 'curiosity approach' adopted by this nursery and think it allows the children to explore and learn about the environment with a hands-on and natural experience.
Overall, a wonderful pre-school

Nina's Pre-school is a fantastic place for my daughter to learn and develop. The pre-school encourages learning through play to keep learning fun. They explore outdoors, bake, play, create and exercise. My daughter has severe allergies and the staff at the pre-school always involve her going beyond
necessary to ensure she is always included, even making amendments to recipes, the staff are brilliant at using her meds and creams when required. I could not recommend them more!

I take my four-year-old granddaughter to and from this preschool and have nothing but praise for the care she receives there. She loves it! The children learn through play and more structured activities in a very safe environment.
Preschool is in a completely separate building to the school, so the
preschool children don't come into contact with the older children at all (very important in these Covid days).

My children have been attending Nina's Pre-School for 8 months now and the difference in drop off is amazing. They skip in and they are always warmly welcomed. You can see the care given by the staff is the same they would show their own children and it's lovely to know your children are in such
safe and caring hands. It really does have a lovely family feel to the classroom. All the staff are a credit and make the pre-school the place it is. They create a lovely atmosphere and the children feel happy and comfortable. The only point I feel could be improved os some of the facilities are dated and could welcome some investing in, but this is not a criticism of the staff.

Fantastic preschool. Amazing staff. My daughter is so happy here.
29 October 2018
I find the staff very caring and informative as to my child's day to day development in the nursery. Staff effective in teaching.
It's a clean environment and hygienic nursery. Safe and calm environment which reflects in my child's behaviour, which I can see an improvement in speech and general
behaviour in terms of him being polite and keen to learn new things. He asks lots of questions which is a good thing. He wants to learn.
