Gosforth Pre-School

“We have really seen our son grow and develop since he started Gosforth pre school with Mrs Beck and the team. His confidence, independence and ability to follow instructions and play with others have improved noticeably. The regular feedback provided by his key  worker helps to keep us well informed about his progress. We are very happy with the pre school and know that our son is safe in their care.”

“My Daughter attended her from 2 years of age and she loved every single minute of it. The staff cant do enough for the children and parents. Now my son of 2 yrs attends and I was a little worried how he would adapt as he isn’t the most confident little boy, 4 months on and what a massive change in him. He has come so far with his speech and his confidence with others has changed for the better. I will be sad not to visit Pre-school when he starts full time school.”

“Highly recommended Pre-School”

Mrs Hill – Dronfield

“I’m really pleased with the nursery, I’ve tried getting my son to write letters and he’s wanted none of it. After three, three hour sessions at pre school he’s writing the letter ‘H’ perfectly and wanting to show it to everyone.

He’s had no nursery time before, it’s been a new experience for him and the staff have been really reassuring sending pictures and emails confirming that he’s ok and showing me what he’s been up to each week, which has really helped.”

“My son has attended Gosforth Pre school for nearly 2 years, I have always felt a very warm and friendly environment for him to play in and in particular his confidence, social skills have come on leaps and bounds. From the initial show round to the settling in time the staff could not have been more welcoming and reassuring that this was the right place for my son. He throughly enjoys all the activities that they do and can’t wait to go to pre school every morning. I would highly recommend this pre school to friends and family due to the enthusiastic and dynamic team.”

“We have had two children at Gosforth Pre School who are both quite shy but with different levels of confidence. All members of staff have been very supportive of both children (and me!), addressing their individual needs to help them settle and enjoy their time there, whilst I have been reassured that they have both been well looked after and the individual approach taken allows each child to receive tailored care based on what suits them best. Receiving timely updates and photos through the Tapestry system throughout the day is great especially to see a smiling face on a photo of them enjoying activities provides me with ongoing reassurance that they are happy and settled, and also see what they have been up to and achieved.”

“We feel very fortunate to have chosen Gosforth as a pre school for our two little boys. We had to choose pre schools fairly quickly and a little blindly, moving up to Derbyshire from the South of England. We could not be happier with our choice. From the moment you walk in the door you gain a real sense of the nurturing, warm, safe and bright atmosphere that all of the staff strive to create.  We very much value the degree to which staff use their intuition and instinct, responding sensitively to the emotional needs of all children. They are not afraid to think “outside of the box” and tailor their approach to each individual need. Coming from an Early Years education background, I know that this is a tough feat. I have been astounded by not only the emotional and social development of my children, but by their speech and language development within a very short space of time. Ample opportunities for outside and physical play are offered for my two very energetic boys.  We are very grateful to Gosforth, and that we made this choice.”
