I have seen huge developments in my daughter's confidence. The staff are all very friendly and so great with the children. There is always a number of activities everyday that she enjoys and expressed great interest in.

My nearly three-year-old child has been attending Longstanton Pre-School since September, and he absolutely loves it! The settling-in process was seamless. I was allowed to stay with him during the first session, followed by a shorter independent session, and by the third session, he was more than happy to stay for the full morning on his own! The staff at the preschool are incredibly caring, and my son has developed a wonderful bond with his key worker from the very beginning. It's heartwarming to see how much he enjoys his time there. Since joining, his speaking skills have improved significantly. As parents, we also really appreciate the daily updates with pictures, which keep us informed and connected to what he's doing. The range of activities they organise is exceptional. For example, this week, they had a farm visit, and the children were thrilled to interact with and stroke the animals! I couldn't be happier with this preschool and would wholeheartedly recommend it!

Very hard-working management and staff! My daughter is extremely happy and eager every morning to go to preschool. She walks in with such a smile and does not look back! They have amazing experiences for the children such as a farm visit for some families that may not be able to afford the day out themselves.

Absolutely wonderful preschool my child loves attending. She has recently participated in an animal experience day which she loved! Whenever I have an issue the staff are all very quick to resolve the issue. They have so many fun activities throughout the week and also give great feedback on areas we can work on at home to prepare for school next year. All the staff work so hard to provide an amazing environment for the children to flourish.

My eldest just left Longstanton preschool to start big school. He loved his time at the preschool and made some good friendships. He started off a shy, nervous boy and ended up a confident, well-rounded boy, 100% ready for big school. My daughter started at the preschool recently and also loves it. She doesn't look back at drop off and walks straight in happily. I think this is what every parent wants!

My son has settled in really well with the support of the staff. He enjoys going in and comes back with a beaming smile telling me about his days and his teachers. The teachers are warm and welcoming with clear care for the children.

Our daughter has attended the preschool for the last 18 months, and now leaves for primary school. She's had so much fun at preschool, the team has worked so hard to provide a fun setting, with new activities and play options daily. They also send photos of the children most days, and it's so great to get a glimpse into their lives away from us. For me, the very best thing is the way the staff interact with and support the children. Every single day, without fail, she's greeted with a smile and genuine joy. They encourage her to progress in many areas, but with love, not pressure. They've built relationships with her that I'm so incredibly grateful for - it means so much to know that other adults can care for her and make her feel valued. Last night we read the book they gave her for graduation. And when I read her the dedication they'd included, she cried and said she would miss them so much. If that doesn't show how important a part of her life they've been, what does? Thank you.

My daughter's experience has been fun and positive! The staff are friendly and welcoming and have been working particularly hard recently. Management is good, always clear, professional and responsive. Due to the amount of children and their age monitoring the more challenging issues or relationships is still ongoing. My child has often had bumps, scratches and issues from other children so I think staff need to be more on hand and equipped. Saying that though they are really approachable and friendly. Thank you for the fun times.

Our daughter recently joined the school breakfast club, and it's been a game-changer for our mornings. The combination of nutritious meals and a supportive environment has not only eased our daily routine but also added a positive start to each school day.

Our child has had a wonderful experience at the preschool. The staff are so welcoming and really get to know the children. The activities are purposeful and engaging and our child is making good progress. There are regular updates and we feel confident that we can approach staff with questions and that they will be more than happy to help.

My child enjoys preschool and has plenty of choice of activities. She enjoys the freedom and likes playing with her friends inside and outside. Staff are always friendly and encouraging, taking time to get to know individual children and encouraging independence. Staff communicate with parents at pick up and drop off and have occasional events where parents are invited. The preschool encourages learning from different cultures. Thank you to all.

So happy with Longstanton Pre-school. Very friendly, kind and caring team. Good Management. I'm always kept informed and receive regular emails about information to join groups and or activities etc. with other parents. My son is very happy and walks in by himself in the morning with a big smile on his face. At pick-up time he also talks non stop telling me all they have done.

Longstanton pre-school is a great place for my son who has special needs. At the moment he is supported by the preschool staff and they are great and kind to him making sure his needs are met. There are resources in the school which allow him to enjoy the time spent there.

The team are always welcoming and friendly, my daughter loves going to the breakfast club. They encourage positive play and activities and I am sent pictures of what she has been up to which is lovely to see.

Generally, I am happy with the preschool as I can see my child is happy and comfortable. Also, I can see that preschool is really trying to catch up with any activities nationwide and would like to involve children and their parents in them, like letting us know about the bird-watching event, poetry competition, providing sports lessons, etc. The only thing that I can add is that I wish there were two different parts/rooms in preschool in which the real preschoolers (nearly 4 and 4-year-olds) be there with extra activities regarding starting their reception. And also I don't like the wait and queuing! Thank you for everything. Regards

Such a wonderful environment for children to learn and play. Structured yet open, plenty of activities and things to keep them entertained. Staff are fantastic, friendly and caring. My son loves his new school. Thank you very much

My daughter always has a nice time at pre-school. She looks forward to going and tells me what she has been doing when she gets home. The staff organise a lot of fun activities, such as a Rio Carnival, Lunar New Year, and pancake day events, along with dancing and sports. My daughter has made friends and grown in confidence.

My little girl didn’t start off well with separating herself from me but the staff here are amazing and really helped her to settle in. She is a different child and thriving thanks to the amazing staff here. I couldn’t be happier and we will both really miss it when she starts school. Five star pre school all the way.

Lovely staff, supportive and relaxed. It has a wholesome environment, and my daughter enjoys the activities available. Although it took her a week to settle in, she now loves going and asks to go on the days she isn’t booked in for.

Our daughter loves going to preschool. She has started aged 3 and has a brilliant time (she always cheers on the day she wakes up for preschool). The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.
