  • Shrewsbury Prepatoria Ltd, Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury Prepatoria Ltd is an award winning, Ofsted rated as Outstanding (November 2017), Reggio Emilia inspired setting that was born out of a desire to create a new model of education for children in the early years.

The Reggio Emilia approach is combined with the nursery's deep knowledge of development, pedagogy and the British education system.

The team of practitioners is highly qualified and strives to make a difference through their love for children and extensive knowledge.

The design and layout of the nursery takes into account the complex needs of each age group.

The small independent school is open all year round and has a play based approach to learning using their own DfE approved unique curriculum.

My little girl has been attending Prepatoria a couple of days a week for the last few months, and we have seen an incredible level of development from her.
She is so happy there, and the staff already know her so well. They care deeply about her needs and interests. Staff communication is fantastic
through the app and in person.
We could not be happier to have found this little gem.

Our little one has been attending Prepatoria for seven months now, and we, as parents, couldn't be happier.
Overall, the place is just fantastic.
We feel that the staff are knowledgeable and attentive and always give 110%.
All the staff know each individual child, and even the office staff know
all the children by name; they make you feel like they really care and your child isn't just a number.
The food selection for the children is always innovative, fresh and ever-changing. Packed with fruit and veg all cooked fresh. It's always reported back that our little one has devoured each meal provided.
We particularly like the app that they use.
It gives us live updates throughout the day while our little one is there.
We always feel safe in the knowledge that our little one is taken care of and in exceptionally good hands, and most importantly, our little one loves attending.

Thank you for your lovely comments. We realise how important our staff are, which is why we have invested in a highly qualified team, with regular feedback sessions and training- they certainly are the real heroes!
We also took the decision to operate a professionally run kitchen rather than prepacked meals that are microwaved. We use fresh ingredients each day and issue a menu each Friday for the following week.

After visiting many nurseries in the area and thinking that I was going to have to extend my maternity leave because I did not have a good feeling about each of the places, I knew that the Shrewsbury Prepatoria Ltd was the right place for my baby the moment I looked at the prospectus and arranged an
appointment. Extremely professional right from the start with high standards - exactly what you want for your child. I receive daily updates through the app and am able to contact staff with ease. There are always fun activities for the children to do, enhancing their cognitive, emotional, social and physical development. I knew that the amazing staff would look after my baby and had every confidence that they would as soon as I met them. Importantly for me, the nursery is clean, and the children are all clean - surprisingly, this is not the case at many nurseries! My little one does not want to leave at the end of each day because she has such a strong bond with the staff. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your very kind comments - our aim has always been to provide a real 'home-from-home' experience - it helps the settling-in process, which we believe is an essential introduction to nursery life. We want our parents to feel proud of the investment they make in their child's education and care rather than feel guilty for leaving them at nursery.

We could not be happier with The Prepatoria. It is a friendly, nurturing environment where I know my child is safe, happy and stimulated. I have been impressed and reassured by the gentle transitions through each stage so that my daughter (and me!) feel confident and secure. The resources are lovely
and inspire great imagination and creativity, which are important to us. The staff are fantastic. I know my child is in safe, experienced hands. She comes home chatty and inspired!

Reply from Graeme Smalley, Financial Director at Shrewsbury Prepatoria Ltd

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We strive to make transitions as seamless as possible as we know how important it is for children to feel safe and supported throughout.

Fantastic facility. Both my children attend and are extremely excited to go each day. Late care facility is a lifesaver. I feel they really care for the children and nurture their educational growth.

I searched for many different nurseries and stopped when I found Shrewsbury Prepatoria. It is a home-from-home, and the approach they use is unique and perfect for early years education. The curriculum is unique, and the staff are experienced, knowledgable and friendly.
What a fabulous place!

Best in Shrewsbury by a long way. The Prepatoria is a truly unique setting for our children to grow and develop. The team inspire our children's curiosity and their learning on everything they show interest in. The atmosphere is like a home from home, caring, nurturing and loving. I wouldn't recommend
anywhere else.
