There are honestly no words that feel big enough to thank this nursery for everything they do for my 3-year-old. Trusting someone else with your child is one of the hardest things as a parent, but from the very beginning the staff have shown nothing but love, warmth and genuine care. They have
created a safe place where my child feels happy, confident and truly loved, and that means more to me than I can ever explain.
Watching my child grow, learn and smile because of the support they receive here fills my heart. The patience, kindness and dedication shown every single day does not go unnoticed - you go above and beyond in ways that make a real difference, not just to the children but to us as parents too. Knowing my child is cared for as if they were your own gives me complete peace of mind. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you do.

St Mark's Preschool go above and beyond to ensure all children are learning in a fun and safe environment.
My daughter absolutely loves her time at nursery and sometimes pretends to go back in at hometime!
I feel like the learning is bespoke to each child as the teachers really get to know
the children in their groups and use their own specific interests to help them in their learning.
The communication is fantastic as I love seeing what my little one has been upto all day and this can even be discussed at teatime as the information is always updated before this time.
Their monthly stay and plays give a fantastic opportunity to have a real insight into my daughter's day and enjoy the activities with her.
The staff really do put 100% into everything they do and it feels like they are caring for my daughter as if she was their own. She thoroughly enjoys her days at nursery and is thriving in her learning which is a reflection of all the hard work put in by staff at St Mark's!

Choosing a preschool is one of the most stressful decisions a parent can make, but from the moment we stepped into St Marks, we knew we had found something special.
The teachers here are nothing short of magical. They have an incredible balance of patience, energy, and genuine affection for the
kids. They don't just 'watch' the children, they engage with them on their level.
As a parent, I never feel out of the loop. Between the daily updates and the photos they share, I feel connected to my child's day even when I'm at work.
Since starting at St marks our child has blossomed. We've seen a massive leap in her social confidence, she actually jumps out of bed excited to go to school in the mornings!
Couldn't recommend this preschool enough!

Both of my children have now attended St Mark's preschool and I can not praise them enough! They recognise each individual child and their needs and go above and beyond to provide great experiences for them all.
They have helped my youngest to settle in well and make her feel welcome and
comfortable there. Communication with parents is fantastic - daily posts on the app as well as monthly stay and play sessions.
There are additional experiences provided such as the leading library and consideration of the wider world with clothing and toy swap shops.
St Marks is a fantastic educational setting that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to everyone!

St Marks is a wonderful, safe and caring environment. My son currently attends every morning and although he is a little shy he absolutely loves being there. I have also had a fantastic experience with my daughter who attended a few years before my son and she loved it too. The staff are nothing
short of amazing!

Absolutely fantastic nursery. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond for the children. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting St. Marks! They post regular updates on the tapestry app of the different activities the children have been up to each day and it's lovely to be able to
see all the fun my son has throughout the day and all the learning he does. I have and will always recommend St. Marks!

Couldn't have picked a better nursery for my daughter.
The girls here go above and beyond, my daughter runs into the setting ever day. My daughter is constantly asking about her friends and teachers, always speaking so positively.
Not only is the setting so fun and a great capacity to learn
in, the children enjoy many extra activities such as Jo Jingles! Trips to the library, and amazing life skills such as living sustainably! My daughter was chosen today to be a recycling buddy!
Healthy foods only are provided through the day, such as carrots and salsa, rice cakes and avocado on toast!
I will be so sad when my daughter moves to big school, however so greatful for the amazing start into education that she has been given!
Couldn't have asked for better people to help look after and nurture my daughter.

We couldn't be happier with St Mark's Pre-School. My little girl has settled in so well in such a short time, which really shows how welcoming and supportive the staff are. Both of her sisters previously attended the nursery, and once again the team have gone above and beyond for every child. The
care, kindness, and effort they put in is clear to see. I honestly couldn't recommend St Mark's Pre-School enough.
21 January 2026
My daughter is in her second year at St Marks and she is thriving. She has grown in confidence, and her development in all areas has come on so much since she has been attending the pre-school. The support and encouragement from all the staff in this setting is 100% - they are consistent and keep
you updated at all stages. They are very open and honest, and welcome any feedback or concerns and will then speak to you and work with you on any issues or concerns that you have. I have found it to be a very caring and nurturing place for my child. You are updated regularly on your child's progress. I also love how much they engage with the children in activities, such as environmental, care in the community, healthy eating, IT, they attend the library, they have little school trips, and lots of activities around each holiday such as Easter and Christmas. The staff are so personal and you are made to feel a part of the pre school. I couldn't recommend this setting any more highly.

Absolutely amazing nursery that put the children first at all times. Very happy to take my child there every day, I know she's safe and looked after at all times. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough! Above and beyond for every child
21 January 2026
Over the last year and a half this pre-school has been like a home from home for my little boy.
Along with his key worker , every practitioner has taken the time to really get to know him and they are all able to incorporate his own personal interests into his learning to make it fun . Due to this
he has made so much progress and really enjoys his time there.
We are provided with regular updates throughout the day as to what activities they are doing in preschool and also an detail personalised weekly update detailing his progress, the focus for the week ahead and activities to do at home to help reinforce this learning . Which I feel certainly supports me as a parent to help my child learn.
Grateful to have found such an amazing preschool for my son to attend with staff who genuinely care providing invaluable experiences daily .

This was always going to be the nursery that both my children went too. So much so both of my children waited to start childcare until they was 2! I had already had recommendations and knew what experience we was going to have. I have a 2 and a 3 year old here and I will always shout from the
rooftops how amazing this preschool are. They go above and beyond to give the children amazing experiences such as going on the bus, to the library, out to sing songs to the elderly. The care they give is second to none. Both of my children and me love it here! Will be lots of tears from me when they leave. Xxx

If I was to recommend a nursery, it would be st marks over and over. I'd scream it from the roof tops if I could! My daughter started in August last year and she absolutely loves attending. There are lots of pre school activities, trips, food tasting and even activities for parents to join in with
their kids too.
Sarah, Carla, Joanne and Cerys are absolutely amazing women and my daughter loves them!
21 January 2026
We have had the best experience whilst our daughter has been attending St Mark's Pre-school.
All of the staff are very friendly and professional, and made us and our daughter feel so welcome right from the initial taster session.
Choosing to send our daughter to St Mark's was the easiest
decision we've made and we would highly recommend this Pre-school to others.
21 January 2026
This is now my 3rd child to go to st marks and I wouldn't have wanted to send them anywhere else, the care and dedication from the staff is unmatched and hands down the best pre school in the area! The staff go above and beyond for each child and it's very clear to see.
21 January 2026
What an amazing nursery, staff go above and beyond, my little girl absolutely loves nursery , what she had learnt and how far she has come is unbelievable and thats down to the amazing staff , carla and sarah the owners are excellent,great communication and any problems they are dealt with straight

St Marks pre school always go above and beyond in anyway they can! My daughter loves attending and is so happy and content at the preschool. They give 100% in all they do making my daughters learning centred around her and her interests.
21 January 2026
I cannot praise this pre school enough. My daughter has absolutely thrived whilst been here and has learned so much through the amazing ladies that work there! They look after the children great and do everything to help. They also take them out on day trips and to dementia groups to interact with
the elderly and bring some happiness back to them also. They also have groups coming into pre school very often doing dance classes and sports classes. 100% recommend this pre school!!
21 January 2026
Amazing nursery. Sent my first child here and they went above and beyond. Now my second child is here and thriving. Wouldn't chose anywhere else! The activities and the thought that goes into every activity and child is amazing.
21 January 2026
My son started in September and I have already noticed a difference! My little boy loves pre school and is always excited to go in! The girls are lovely and very hands on with all the children and always keep you informed.
