Gosh we havent even started here til sept Still at preschool Receptionist has a terrible attitude Im 4 mins early before bell I ask if they can take my child in (I have an emergency but she was so full of attitude and didnt even ask ) Tells me no , doesnt even acknowledge my daughter may I add is a beautiful shade of brown Tells me to walk her around the outside which would take 6-7mins and the gate locks in 4 ? I tell her not to be so awkward she slams the glas huffs and rolls her eyes Another mum comes. In white child blonde curly hair And right away it hello sweetheart I will walk you in I am going that way anyway She comes out the door Looks at the white child and says come on sweetheart Then looks at us after who were there first with disgust and says to MY child Come on then in a totally different tone I told her how she received my daughter differently And I left Im sure she said more than enough about me when I left I am really concerned leaving my child here in September and will be viewing very closely that she is equally included and spoken to the same way as the other girls Not just cuz she looks different And they always play the I aint racist card But your eyes. Your face Your demeanour Your vibe Your spirit screams it all Eeeww I was literally disgusted.

My son goes here for Preschool. It breaks my heart that due to the amount of siblings starting reception next year it's extremely unlikely he will get the chance to stay. But marvellous teachers. He's been there 3 months, his vocabulary has more than doubled, his phonics and reading has gone from zero to a great start, and he can now count to 21- he's only 3 and a half. Excellent progress as a result of excellent teaching. He's had some "refusing to share" issues as a result of being an only child and the teachers quickly developed a programme specially for him to focus on those needs with my inclusion. If we don't get to return in September I'll be devastated but always grateful for what they've done for my son Also the nativity play was just about the best thing I've ever witnessed
