Please take the time to hear from some of our happy parents
"We have spoken with many parents whose children have been in the care of Castle and, without exception and across all age groups, all have only had positive things to say about the setting. It feels like you are doing a lot of things right! Secondly, we wanted to say a special thank you to all the staff for nurturing and taking such good care of our son over the last year. He has come on leaps and bounds and the structure at preschool is perfectly matched to his developing personality. He has definitely thrived in the environment you have provided and we are so proud of him. It feels like he has been ready for school for a few months now and has been very well prepared by Castle. We continue to remember his very first day at Castle preschool in September last year. He was picked up a bit early (around 4pm) by his mum, thinking he might be a bit tired on his first day, but he started to cry as they got back to the car. When asked what was wrong, his response was “I just want to go back in mummy!”. So he was returned to preschool and picked up a couple of hours later a very happy little boy. His feeling towards preschool has never changed in the time he has been with you. The concert on Wednesday was a real masterclass in child-theatre production! All of the children seemed to really enjoy themselves and were all very well behaved, a reflection on how much respect they have for the teachers".
"Thank you so much for teaching, nurturing and inspiring our children over the last few years. You're an incredible team of people and have so much to be proud of. The way you interact with the children is just lovely and your enthusiasm and all the wonderful staff personalities really make it a unique and special place. So many times I've seen the different members of staff stop to engage with them on the way in or out, even when clearly busy, or when it would have easy not to make the effort. This never goes unnoticed and they have absolutely loved and thrived on it."
"I really couldn't think of a better environment for them to have spent these precious years in and I recommend Castle to anyone willing to listen! ."
"We recall at the quiz evening, you referred to us all as a family and community (which is certainly true). We feel lucky to be part of your nursery and preschool and in particular in this year group of parents too. Thank you for all you have provided to my daughter and her friends within Castle. You are an excellent team and we hope that you all keep well and safe during this hard time we are all facing. Please pass on our thanks to all staff at the preschool too."
"You offer a real family environment and a wonderful community spirit at Castle. Thank you again for looking after my son and making his nursery experience so far enjoyable and memorable! "
"I've been so delighted to have my child be a part of Castle Nursery this year, thank you for all your hard work! I can trust they will be well looked after and stimulated which means so much. "
"The castle team are brilliant - supportive, friendly, focussed on the children’s development and make the nursery a fun place to be. Both my girls have had really good and enjoyable years at the nursery. "
"Castle is an absolutely lovely nursery and I know that my child is safe and happy being there. The outdoor play areas especially the woodland area, the new sensory room, the caring staff have got to be the highlights for me. "
