Breaside Preparatory School is a wonderful school and our two children have been extremely happy here. Our daughter has just completed a year in kindergarten which she has enjoyed enormously. Every day is filled with fun activities together with educational early learning all delivered with both warmth and encouragement by the teachers and teaching assistants. Our son, who is now 7, has transformed from being somewhat shy and difficult into an extremely confident and happy little boy, well advanced in reading, writing, maths and English, with confidence to speak in public, has learned to play the trumpet, loves after school football club and has been given an amazing knowledge and understanding of the world at such a young age. From kindergarten onwards, the children enjoy a first-class education in a warm and nurturing environment, all delivered by the excellent array of teachers and spearheaded by the outstanding principal. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for our children.

Outstanding academics as well as extremely nurturing environment. We have been delighted with the service provided by this school for my son who has joined as a clingy little boy and has now become a confident 7-year-old achieving excellent results across academic subjects, music and sports. Strongly recommend also for little ones, my daughter is currently in kindergarten and the range of fun learning activities as well as care received is exceptional.

I think Breaside Preparatory School has been an excellent experience not only for my son but also for us, as parents. We have never had such an interactive connection with any other schools in the past, even when we were growing up. I just feel that there should be more sports clubs (rugby, hockey, cricket, football and basketball) available at the school from kindergarten onwards.

Wonderful staff, great facilities, welcoming and encouraging environment. A wide variety of topics are covered. Encourage children to feel confident, speak in front of others, creative play. Offers a wide variety of food.

Breaside is a very warm and caring educational setting that provides my child with the right environment to learn and thrive. Over the past six months, my child has evolved from being reserved at school and sometimes hesitant to go in, to now being happy, chatty with his friends and teachers, and eager to attend school. This is attributable to the warmth of the staff, particularly the Early Years Team, who patiently engage my child in various fun learning activities that help improve my child's physical, emotional, social, and mental health.

Breaside's early years provisions have been absolutely incredible for my little girl. The teachers and one-to-one support received are second to none, fostering a nurturing, inclusive environment for a diverse range of children. My daughter has learned so much, academically, socially, and emotionally, and has truly flourished here. Teachers pay close attention to children and their progress, knowing when to extend the challenge level and when to cement more entry-level concepts. I am so grateful they have given her such an amazing start in life; learning to read by age 4, fostering a love of French and Spanish languages, providing an introduction to yoga, and encouraging her love of art and sports. I truly believe no other nursery environment could have given her so much and I can't wait to see where she goes from here!

Sending our little girl to Breaside Preparatory School has been one of the best decisions we've made. She has become so interested in learning; not just about traditional school curriculum, but also important life skills, such as putting on their coats and identifying their emotions. The teachers are wonderful, it goes without saying that they are brilliant at what they do, but more importantly for the little ones, they are warm, kind and inviting. Our little girl thrives on routine and structure, and the kindergarten curriculum gives her that sense of confidence and security. She particularly loves PE, yoga/mindfulness and forest school. As parents, we love to see their weekly updates, complete with photos of their activities and achievements. We also particularly love the broad range of healthy food that's served at school, which has made her much more open to trying new food at home!

Lovely school and staff. Our son has transformed in his short time of one term of being at the school. He has not only matured but developed personally and academically. The school are also very supportive with individual needs. Could not be happier with the school.

I wish it was them dropping me off and them going to work most days. Especially when they eat homemade bread for lunch. Both of mine started at 2.5 years old, which I thought was young at the time, but the setting and teachers are fantastic. They've never said they don't want to go in. It's great that even in Kindergarten they have specialist teachers for subject areas like PE! Also a bit like with NCT, you're also buying yourself a fantastic set of friends for your children and also yourself. All other parents are invested in their children as much as you are. You only get one chance at early years education in life and Breaside is the best by far in the area. Only bit to warn you on is the birthday party circuit (it's actually quite fun though!). I wouldn't send them anywhere else.

My youngest is currently attending pre-prep at Breaside Preparatory School and he absolutely loves it, just as his older sister did when she was there as well. The teachers are lovely, the facilities are great and the teaching is perfect! My two both come out of school every day with huge smiles on their faces and both are learning loads at the same time. They’ve made such great friends and feel safe and secure with their teachers.

I have two children at Breaside Preparatory School and I am so impressed with everything. Everyone is welcoming and approachable and the children enjoy going to school every day. The academic structure is excellent and learning is made fun. I am also very impressed with the pastoral care. The school provides a warm and nurturing environment for the children to thrive.

Our son joined Breaside in September 2020 as part of the Kindergarten cohort, and we have not looked back! Our experience has been flawless, from brilliant parent and staff engagement and communication, to how well settled and supported we have been in adapting to 'everyday school life'. The early year's curriculum is something special. This has been fostered by an amazing pool of teachers, who genuinely care for the children and ensure that each child is nurtured as an individual, in a happy and safe learning environment. Our son's capabilities in language, reading and writing have flourished, and we have been delighted that his interactions and development has centred around diverse and interesting social, cultural and academic subjects. We could not be happier with the school and are so proud (and lucky) to be part of the Breaside family.

Both my children have attended the early years at Breaside with my daughter currently still in Pre-prep. It has been a truly positive experience and I’ve seen them both flourish and develop into happy children. The teachers are lovely and so welcoming to the children and their parents. Lots of time is spent not only on them learning academic things like phonics, writing, numbers and french but also on developing them socially, mentally and physically. Both my children have loved forest school and yoga and time is spent getting them used to what school will be like in the coming years and encouraging them to be more independent with dressing and toileting. After school clubs are also available, so my daughter is able to do ballet and teacher-led clubs, which she loves. The teachers are approachable and in my experience have truly wanted to help my children excel and be happy. The whole school has a real community feel with parents being included as much as possible. Excellent!

Our son started Kindergarten back in September 2021 and has enjoyed every minute. He’s always so excited to go in, and we have been very impressed with his teachers and what he has learnt so far. They give constant updates on his learning for parents to then continue at home. They also teach good manners and encourage independence. They support the children with their learning and development. We also plan to send his sister to the school when she reaches age. Thank you to his teachers!

My daughter started in January 2021 and I’m so happy with her all around progress so far. She is also very happy to be there. All the teachers and staff are so welcoming from the second you set foot on the premises. The parent to teacher communication is also brilliant. There is a good structure to the day and throughout the term. We as parents are told what they will be doing each week. We also get access to pictures, videos and regular updates of what the child has been doing via an online portal. Highly recommend this school.

Fantastic school with good structured learning from a young age, lots of variety in activities and great approachable staff. My son has greatly developed in understanding, reading and language since joining in 2019. The staff have been amazing through the pandemic in providing the children with a structured learning plan to keep them on track!

My daughter has been at Breaside since kindergarten (now in Year 2), and I could not be happier with our choice of school. The teachers from Kindergarten upwards are caring and extremely professional, positive and overall fantastic at what they do. The school is more like a large family. The support staff in the office also deserve a special mention. I have only positive words for Breaside School. Their recent results in the recent Sunday Times prove their teaching is of an excellent standard. They have handled the Covid pandemic brilliantly, maintaining positivity and continuing to keep pupils engaged.

My child started going to Breaside Day Nursery at the age of 2.5 years old until July 2020 (just started Reception). The nursery has been very attentive to ensure each individual child gets the time to get used to the new setting. The staff always smile and very happy to have one on one conversation should any parent have anything specific to discuss. My child was naturally very shy when they started at the day nursery however, their confidence has grown enormously in the nurturing environment. The nursery has also been great developing the skills my child would need to go into reception, and it is quite remarkable how they managed to put together the fantastic Christmas / Mothers and Father's day performances and also a sports day for children at this age. They are brilliant to bring out the best abilities of each child and they let them develop in their own speed and time. My child goes back to give the nursery staff a cuddle every time they see them. I can only recommend Breaside!

We are extremely happy with our son in Breaside. The teachers are fantastic and all the classes are well designed, it’s fun and very educational. My son is in PP at the moment, he has learned a lot academically as well as all the traditional festivals and celebrations, they have even started their French class this year. Breaside is really focused on their behaviour, it’s great to start from a young age, and all the children in Breaside are so polite and have good manners, very happy parents!

Breaside is a school which is academically very good and one of the reasons we wanted our child to attend. But what is so special about this school is the family feel it has. All of the teachers and staff are lovely yet so professional. My child enjoys going to school every day starting in Kindergarten and now in Pre-Prep. The transition was well managed. The management of the school through this pandemic has been commendable. I am proud of the school, the staff, the lovely atmosphere of the school but most important is how happy my child is.
