Report
My twin girls went to the pre school and I can't even believe the amount they came along with all aspects of development. The staff are amazing and approachable the girls came home everyday with excitement to tell us what they got up to all day. They loved all the teachers there (they even ask for them on weekends and in half term holidays) would 100% recommend this pre school to anyone thinking about it. It's sad that the girls are going up to primary school and leaving behind the pre school but my youngest will for sure be going there as soon as he can! Thank you for everything NL Pre-School

My son attends this Pre-school and absolutely loves it. He is always so happy and excited to tell me about his day. The staff are so friendly and communication is excellent regarding upcoming events, changes or general information. I can’t recommend this Pre-school enough.

One of my children is currently attending the pre school after my 2 older boys went there. We absolutely love it, and so do they. The staff are really friendly and approachable. All of my children came on leaps and bounds after they started coming here. I would definitely recommend it if you're after a personal, friendly village preschool.
