My daughter has been going here since she was two. Sadly she leaves this year for school. However she has had the best start. The nursery is small so lots of one to one time and it really is like a family. They do lots of trips out as well as celebrating lots of different things such as st George's day or mothers/fathers day within nursery. My… daughter also had the extra hours (30) which involved her going to the primary school for the afternoons. This she also loved doing and it has really prepared her for starting school in September. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery

My son has been attending Lovelane Preschool for about 19 months and he absolutely loves every second of it! The staff are amazing and helped him settle in so quickly! It’s a small friendly Preschool but there is a huge range of activities to do daily and they go outside whatever the weather which he just loves. There is a great mix of structure… and of free play. They also have some great trips they attend which I think all the children enjoy like Snelsmore, the library, a train trip. The staff are just brilliant in what they have taught Oliver over the time he has spent there and

Our little boy has been attending Love Lane since January 2015 and had his last day today! He loved playing outside on the bikes and scooters and learning new skills through the wide range of play activities on offer in each session. He has grown so much in his confidence and understanding of the world around him! Thank you to all the staff who have played such an important part in his development! Our younger son is due to start at Love Lane in September and is really looking forward to it after his settling in sessions!
