Brilliant preschool with a wonderful caring staff who go the extra mile - Rebecca Winterton

I can't recommend Shipton Bellinger Pre School enough. My two boys absolutely love it, the staff are so friendly, welcoming and caring, the facilities are fantastic and the boys come home always smiling and full of stories of what they've been up to. It's been so lovely meeting all the other lovely parents/children there too. I love the updates we get as parents, especially the photos.

My youngest son (2 years old), who had always cried at drop off every day at his previous nurseries, settled so quickly and now runs in smiling everyday.

My other son (4 years old) will start school in September, and they are doing so many activities with them to get them ready for Reception which is also brilliant.

My daughter is at Shipton Bellinger Primary School and I love how convenient it is to have one drop off for all 3 of the kids. If you are thinking of booking place for your child at the Pre-School, don't hesitate to book a tour to have a look around and meet the staff, you won't regret it.

My daughter has been attending for a few months now, since she turned two and she loves it. Her dad is in the military and on a long deployment, they've had wonderful little ways of helping her to deal with it.

I was adamant on sending her here after seeing how amazing the staff were with the children on a trip out. Not only have they helped my daughter develop but the support they've offered me has been amazing.

Highly recommend this preschool to anyone considering it.

I am so pleased I chose Shipton Bellinger preschool for my daughter. Right from the start they have been accommodating, supportive and friendly.

We moved to the area due to my husband’s military job posting. We arrived in the summer holidays and the preschool offered for us to come and have a look around the setting, even though they were closed, which was really great as we were able to get a feel of the place. We were really impressed and my daughter started in the September when she was 2 years old, to attend four mornings a week.

All the staff who work at the preschool are so welcoming and approachable and they put the children’s welfare before anything else. I instantly felt comfortable leaving her at the preschool and she settled in so quickly and always has such fun.

When our situation changed and I needed full time hours, the preschool were so accommodating and helpful. Not only to make the hours work for our family, but also advice and help applying for the 30hrs free childcare as she had turned 3 years old. I was anxious about my daughter jumping to full time hours in the January, but she’s absolutely thrived in the caring and fun environment that the preschool provides.

The communication between parents/carers and the preschool is excellent. This includes the children’s activities and learning, which is regularly shared and it’s so lovely to see what great things they’ve been up to. Having a key person allocated to my child means we can regularly discuss her development and this is always done in such a supportive and non-judgemental way.

I am so grateful for such a kind and professional preschool and would definitely recommend to others ????

My daughter has settled in very well and thoroughly enjoys herself. We are frequently kept up to date with her progress with reports and photos, which is very much appreciated by us and all the extended family. All the staff are welcoming and very friendly. We highly recommend ???? and feel 100% we have made the right decision in our choice of preschool.
