Testimonial

 

“Back in 2007, shortly after moving to the area I was hoping to find a place in a local preschool in the hope that my daughter Mia might make some friends with some local children who she would then start Primary school with. 


Although this would only be for a term, Tina agreed that Mia could join. Mia was always a really shy and quiet girl. I could not believe my eyes when I picked her up after the first session to find her laughing and giggling with the other children whilst chasing each other around the hall. I was amazed! Not once, had this happened at her previous playschool in the 2 years that she had been there. Mia then said she only wanted to go to this new playschool and absolutely adored every minute she spent here before she started school. Even in this short time she gained oodles of confidence and has some very special memories.

​

In 2008 My youngest daughter turned 2 and we began visiting with a view to starting preschool. This was a gradual process for us and nothing was too much trouble. Scarlett started when they were based in Mersham hall and then moved to their present location in Stowting. The environment is just amazing and I feel very honoured that Scarlett has been able to enjoy such a beautiful place to learn. 

​

The atmosphere was always fun, caring and friendly. In fact I wanted to play in the classroom. Mia and Scarlett still talk fondly about “Tina’s” and how they wish that they didn’t have to go to school and could go back. 


Tina and her team are caring and patient and effectively gave my daughters some very happy memories and a good educational grounding ready for primary school. 
Thank you all so much for all of your efforts and incredible attention that you gave them both.”
