The following are testimonials from parents, child and professionals:

“Both my wife and I were very happy with our choice of Pre-school for our daughter, with its high level of care and its commitment to giving the children a safe and happy environment to develop within.”

“Rixton-with-Glazebrook Pre School provides a nurturing environment for all children.  The setting strives to meet the needs of each child and enables them to fulfil their potential in all areas of learning. They are a very inclusive early years setting which celebrates the differences of all children with the help, support and guidance of the child, parents/carers and other professionals. Staff expertise around SEND, sensitivity and professional attitude develops children’s learning, ensuring that all children are happy, empowered and are given the  opportunity to reach their full potential and be proud of themselves. They work in collaboration with both parents/carers and outside agencies to ensure that all children with SEND reach their full potential from admission right through to transition.”                                    (Gemma McGreal – Early Years Inclusion Advisor)

“I am keenly aware of the benefits of outdoor play and it was a pleasure to see my child enjoying vigorous physical activity. The children can play, explore and interact with the natural outdoors allowing them access to gardening, water, sand, insects and outdoor toys, not to mention fresh air.”

“I like running in the wind and getting wet in the puddles. I love going outside, I can go faster.” (4yr old)

“Having visited Rixton-with-Glazebrook Pre-school to deliver a safety talk, I was impressed with the atmosphere and the children’s speech and language skills. It was an enjoyable experience that I look forward to repeating again.” (Community Nursery Nurse)
