LEYF - Marks Gate Nursery & Pre-School

My Son attended this lovely little play school. Friendly staff, very supportive, brilliant with the children. Nothing ever too much trouble for the staff there. They changed my hours twice in order to try and help fit around me and my son which was greatly appreciated. When my son first attended the pre school he didnt really say much or form a whole sentence but within months of being there he came right out of his shell and was talking in no time. They also have special days and events for the children ie) Mothers and Fathers Day tea party afternoons, where parents can attend with the children, World Book day. They take the children to the local town on the bus for the afternoon, which my son really enjoyed. They even had a local farm bring animals down for the children to pet on a particular dressing up day. Transitioning from one room to another as my son moved up the rooms was always hard for him. Especially with different children in the room, making new friends and getting used to different staff. The nursery staff was brilliant with him, allowing him to help with odd jobs or settling down with him to keep him occupied or keeping him busy with things to do. Great communication with the staff always updating me on what he had eaten or an accident where he had hurt himself, or just generally what he had been getting up-to during his stay. During the lock down when I had to keep my son at home they was always in communication with me and had bags of stuff for him to do on a weekly basis. Which kept my son occupied for months and was a blessing to be honest. My son has recently graduated from the nursery ready to go to primary school. All the staff will be missed. I would highly recommend this play school to any parent.

Such a caring and friendly staff. Very good with activities. Really nice building and facilities for the kids. The rooms are large for the number of kids. They are also very community minded and support a food bank. I couldn't imagine a better nursery.
