which our daughter has really thrived in - we feel she has had the best possible start to her education, thanks to the hard work, dedication and experienced team at CPHS - thank you!

Our son started at Little Downsend when he turned 1 and we could not be happier with the care and support he has there. The staff are so attentive and keep us regularly updated and clearly really care about the development of the children that attend. He settled very quickly, and is so happy when he
is dropped off and picked up. We can already see how far he has come and how much he has developed in the short amount of time he has attended. I was worried how he would sleep, would he eat okay, would he be happy not being with mummy and daddy, but safe to say he is thriving and loving it. We've been so impressed and are so pleased we enrolled him!

Last week I attended a wonderful concert at Oakleigh House involving my 4 year-old granddaughter. It was an absolute pleasure to see the children demonstrating their learning to their proud parents and grandparents. I am frequently in awe of the passionate, caring staff who nurture such positive learning
to our youngest loved ones as they progress through their educational journey. To witness the children relish in their self-confidence in this way is evidence indeed of their learning achievements under the guise of very capable and caring staff.
As a family; we are highly impressed with the all round development of our precious child and truly believe that she is in the capable, safe hands of truly caring staff at Oakleigh.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My oldest and youngest son have both went to Oakleigh house nursery since they were 36 months old.
The nursery is amazing. Both our sons settled straight away and loved every second of being there. I feel this is down to the undivided attention they get from each member of staff. They take their time
to really get to know each child personally and I find this helps build a bond that as a parent really gives you a reassurance that whilst they are at nursery for the day you know they are being well cared and looked after.
The kids have a wonderful variety of topics and fun activities that are regular changed with each term. Keeping them fully engaged and interacting whilst having so much fun.
In a whole Oakleigh House Nursery has been nothing short of amazing and I cannot thank the incredible nursery teachers more.

Our daughter has been in polam since she was 2 where onboarding her (and is soon to onboard the next little person)- she settled in perfectly. Two members o staff in particular have been excellent, our little person frequently tells us stories about her preschool activities, we have been blown away
at how varied they are and how well she articulates her day. Both key workers always make time to update us on her day and work closely with us on any development items- which is hugely appreciated! As our little person has life threatening allergies, Polam put every measure in place to ensure her safety. We've been overwhelmed with the attentiveness from safe guarding practise and the personal interactions to ensure the best support. In particular, two members of staff have been incredible at reassuring us of how they can accommodate our little person. Lastly I can't speak highly enough of the after school club, which our child loves! Two other members of staff in particular are absolutely brilliant.

I couldn't speak highly of the nursery and teachers enough, my daughter started in January and is loving her time at the nursery and is thriving. My daughter has learnt so much in such a small time, we're always kept up to date on her day at nursery which is lovely to see what she has done in her day.
I'm so happy we went with St Margaret's.

Absolutely love Oakfields! Such a great, safe and nurturing environment for the kids. Teachers are the best and my both kids adore them. They are happy and excited every morning to spend the day with teachers and their friends. It was the best decision to join Oakfields!

My daughter started at Colchester High School Nursery when she was just two years old, and she has absolutely thrived here. As she prepares to move on to primary school this September, I can confidently say that her time at the nursery has been nothing short of amazing.
The nurturing and dedicated
staff have played a huge role in her development, creating a warm and stimulating environment where she felt safe and happy every day. The learning opportunities provided have helped her grow in confidence, independence, and social skills, all while having so much fun.
I'm incredibly grateful for the care and support she has received, and I highly recommend Colchester High School Nursery to any parent looking for a fantastic early years experience for their child!

Our little boy joined the nursery in September, after his second birthday. We are so happy with it and the way he talks about what he does is phenomenal. He goes in to early morning breakfast club without any issues. We know and trust that all the staff there know him and will look out for him. He even
greets the teachers from the main school and they always smile back. Each day we get feedback in the notebook or through the online portal.
He has made friends, thrived in the small group sizes and gets to learn lessons like French, Computing and Music. He also attends Forest School once a week which he really enjoys. He loves playing in the outdoor space and will tell us what he has been learning or doing each day.
We've watched him grow and develop in the space of 6 months into an even more confident and happy child.
I have recommended the Nursery to many of my friends because we have nothing bad to say.
Thank you CPHS nursery.

Akeley Nursery is simply outstanding in every way. My daughter loves attending full time and thrives. The staff are welcoming, attentive and nurturing. She has a holistic, well rounded experience as the staff focus on education and play based learning. She has made great connections with peers. The
team keep parents informed about progress, challenges and always offer solutions to any concerns. I couldn't praise the team enough

My daughter has really thrived at Polam having been there since she was 2 years old. She settled in very well and I have loved receiving all of her updates on the weekly activities she has had access to during her day. She has learnt so much and has grown some lovely friendships too! I very much look
forward to her journey through Polam school.
