I cannot sing Early Birds praises highly enough. The staff are amazing. Always warm and welcoming. They all work together very well as a team and parents and carers are made to feel part of that team. The setting is always alive with exciting activities for the children, both inside and out. My granddaughter has been given huge support and encouragement and she has grown in confidence and ability as a result. Thank you Early Birds.

My little boy (aged 2) started Early Birds last November. He and I were made to feel very welcome and he settled in very quickly due to the excellent staff. His social skills and speech have come on so well since being there. There is a strong sense of community within the preschool which is very supportive. The staff are happy to meet with parents whenever is needed and they have clear goals and action plans for the children which are developed collaboratively with the parents. A fantastic preschool!

Early Birds is a great village pre-school. They have given my toddler such confidence, he’s really come on developmentally since attending. The staff are caring & friendly. They help the children to learn & explore in new ways each week & I like that it’s in the school setting, it’ll help with the transition from pre-school to primary school.

I have been hugely impressed with the level of care and compassion shown to my little boy Henry who is now 4. He has been through allot with his father passing away and all of the team have offered him outstanding care and emotional support. We wouldn't have got through it without them. His confidence and physical ability have come on greatly and his speech is unrecognisable since he started. The team are fantastic! An extended part of our family and my little girl who is 2 cant wait to start after Easter!

Earlybirds provide a safe, nurturing environment which has enabled my children to thrive. With regular feedback and support whenever needed. My eldest started school in September of this year, the transition has been seamless, the support he had on the lead up with his self-help skills meant he began school confident and able. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
