Both of our children have attended Stone Cross pre-school. I can't reccomend it enough. The setting is lovely and prepares the children well for school. The staff are kind and nurturing, always having time if you have any worries or questions. Both of our children adored their time at Stone Cross pre-school and really flourished there.

My boys attended both sites and I couldn't have wished for any more from a pre-school! The staff are amazing, really caring and kind, they play so many varied and wonderful games, and the learning was brilliant, really gave them a great start. Also, they go on lots of trips which I think is a great bonus. I am so sad to be saying goodbye.. for a while.
