Words from past St James Pre-School families

The heart and soul of St James Pre-School lies not only within the relationships we build with our children, but also with our parents and caregivers. We are grateful for the trust you place in us to nurture and educate them and we take immense pride in the positive experiences shared by our past parents and caregivers.

These testimonials embody the spirit of our nursery and pre-school, where love and support create a safe and encouraging environment for every child to thrive.


I just want to say a huge thank you, to you and your fantastic staff. You manage to create an environment that is both warm and nurturing, as well as being structured and productive enough to form a solid foundation for starting school.

Tracey, you and St James have a special place in our hearts.

Benji has had an amazing year, and such a lovely start to school life. He is so excited to be going to big school and this is mostly due to the fun and love he has experienced with all the staff at St James.

A star team! Thank you for looking after Aubrey so wonderfully over the last year! We are so grateful!

We’re very thankful that our children were able to learn and grow withing the safe and nurturing environment of the pre-school.
You each bring different skills and personalities which together make the preschool a fun, happy and blessed learning environment.

She has learnt numeracy and literacy skills and has a better ability to share and form friendships, and a growing understanding of the natural world through exposure to gardening, eggs hatching etc.

My son has made progress in his social skills, physical ability, interest in learning and dealing with emotions. I am very happy with the progress he has made at the Pre-School.

My child has learnt to count and read, know her phonics. She has made lovely friendships and she has gained skills (gardening, ballet, singing, drama, nature, role-play etc).

I will miss dropping the children off, safe in the knowledge they would be happy and cared for and that they would have a fantastic time.

My son loves attending and runs in each day. He has become more independent and confident since attending St James Pre-school.

I truly feel the teachers are like extended family. They are so kind and caring and nurture our children. Friendships are the heart of this preschool, you really see your little ones make great connections and have fun so much all day long.

My 3 children have all attended St James. They all love and have loved it. This is a lovely Pre School, warm and friendly and very creative. We adore it!

Really sweet nursery with great play and learning facilities. I follow my child’s progress and development via a parent portal containing photos and videos which are often very amusing!!!

On a personal level I have to say I feel you deserve to be outstanding. Particularly whilst comparing how amazing you and your staff are compared to other local establishments who do have the outstanding label. We love how you and the staff engage with the children, you get to know them properly and ensure they receive a very welcome reception every day.
