My daughter started nursery in 2019. She had an amazing time in St Thomas More Preschool.
It is such a lovely place with fabulous staff who really get to know the children and really care about their well-being. The beautiful outside space is also a great bonus. We wish them all the luck in the future
with expanding more and being great for the next children who attend the nursery. Would definitely recommend it.

The team there are great - they are very warm and caring, and my sons are enjoying their time at nursery.
The room is big, meaning the kids can run around, and they love playing in the garden as well.
Overall, I'm very happy with our choice.
Keep it up!

Absolutely brilliant Preschool. My twin boys have loved going, and they have looked after my little ones brilliantly and feel so sad they have to go into reception now and leave the pre-school as they loved it so much. I hugely recommend it.

Thank you, Lisa, for your review - it's been a pleasure looking after the boys and watching them grow and develop over the last two years. They are going to love 'big' school, and I hope they come and visit us!

All three of my daughters have had a wonderful experience at St Thomas More. The staff are wonderful, caring and friendly. They have a large outdoor space to use as well as indoors; the kids love the garden!

The staff at St Thomas More Preschool are so welcoming and made my child relaxed and at home from day one. They take a lot of interest in each child, and I get good feedback on how they are getting on and developing at pre-school. The garden is a brilliant space that they use a lot - my child is always
very happy and tired by the end of the day! They tailor activities to their preferences and look for challenges for the children that they will enjoy. Lovely staff to deal with; they are always warm and friendly.

I brought my son here when he was only two years. The high level of care given to him as well as the support this beautiful institution offered us was beyond imagination.
My son has thrived for two good years and is all because of good staff and leadership.
I am very satisfied with all the support
here and recommend it to anyone who wants to check it out.

Thank you so much for your kind review. He has been an absolute delight at preschool, and it's been fantastic to watch him grow and develop with us. We will miss his big smile and wish him all the very best at 'big' school!

My daughter is very happy and enjoys the nursery. She is well taken care of and she is learning a lot.
I love the facilities, both the hall and the garden, children have lots of space and feel free.
The carers are lovely and professional.
My only comment on improvement area is that if school closes
at 4 for children, I think the cleaning of the school should be done after the last child has gone, not during the time the children are still in the hall.

We are extremely happy with the provision at St Thomas More nursery. Our son loves attending and enjoys all the different activities on offer. He especially likes circle time in the morning with stories and singing. He also loves the outdoor play and the garden area where he has helped plant seeds.
The nursery embraces days such as World Book Day, Pancake Day etc and our son enjoyed visiting Waitrose with his shopping list to buy ingredients to try with pancakes. At Christmas, the nursery put on a small carol concert and our son loved being a King and learning the words to the songs. There are always new activities for the children to try. The staff are very friendly and are always welcoming especially at drop off when the children may need some reassurance.

Outstanding nursery. My child is so happy attending the nursery and looks forward to going every time. The staff are fantastic with the children and really go above and beyond to make each child happy and reach their full potential. My child is thriving socially and learning new things every week and
becoming more and more independent every day. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Very friendly place. Kids are really happy with the new team.
My child didn't want to go to nursery in September after being home for 6 weeks but the staff were excellent with him and encourage him back into the fold.

The preschool has been amazing for my children and all of the staff have helped to develop them in their individual ways. There is a great outdoor area which they have access to and use most days! The staff have been extremely flexible with any requirements and always listen when you have a particular
need for your child. They have a good routine at the preschool and I like the fact you can see what they have been up to during the day with photos on the web page only parents and carers have access to so you can talk to your children about the day. They really enjoy it at St Thomas More!

My little one loves to go to St Thomas More Preschool.
Teachers are lovely and caring. I like the way they give feedback on how my child gets on with her day. My daughter is comfortable and familiar with the people and place. She is very happy with her school. I will definitely recommend St Thomas
More Preschool to my friends.

I'm very impressed with all the staff, level of care and facilities they provide here. I particularly love the emphasis on outside play/learning which my child really loves. It's lovely that they do cooking and a variety of different activities with the children, to encourage cooking/decorating items
is a fun engaging way to learn and explore for them. Very happy here!

My son started at St Thomas More preschool in September 2017. We have seen him grow into a very confident child with the encouragement of the staff. He comes home and tells us all the things he has been doing. He is always happy when I tell him it is preschool today. The children are encouraged to play
nicely together and always share. If you are looking for a small preschool that will nurture your child, I would highly recommend it.
