Parent/Carer Feedback
Below is feedback received from our parents/carers from feedback forms/card and verbal feedback:
"St. Nics Pre-School has been the best experience for my child. The staff are so friendly & welcoming. My child has enjoyed everyday. Having a Key-worker has also given my child that sense of security & feeling safe"
"We are very pleased with everything you have done and cannot thank you enough. You have kept things interesting and fun as well as helping him to learn"
"(My child) has absolutely loved her time with you & I am so so pleased I chose St. Nics. You are wonderful teachers and should be really proud of how you've managed through a pandemic too. Thank you xx"
"Just keep doing what you're good at, making the children happy and keeping them safe"
"I think you guys are great at engaging with schools and finding out what skills the children need"
"Impressed by the way the school sends regular photos of the children during the day. It's lovely to get an insight into what they are learning"
"(My child) comes home everyday excited about what he has done that day. He loves it all"
"You're doing a great job. We're so glad we sent him to St. Nics, we wish he could stay with you for another year"
"My child enjoyed every single day so I think keep doing what you are doing!"
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you! Over the past 9 years all 3 of my boys have attended your Pre-school and have been looked after by some of the most caring and lovely people I've ever met. It's now the end of an era but I will always recommend you to anyone who will listen as all 3 of my children have had the most amazing time with you. Thanks again, I hope that St Nics continues for many more years so that more children have the opportunity to play and learn in such a lovely environment"
"(We) would just like to thank you all for giving both (our children) the best start in their education. You all have been so fantastic and we couldn't of picked a better Pre-school for them both. Both our children have come away with some very happy and special memories"
"Everyone is lovely; everyone is very approachable and always happy to help with any worries or concerns".
"Parent interviews are informal and relaxed. The information in the children’s folders are detailed and well documented, it was nice to see photos of my daughter engaging in play and read the inserts. I like the way parents are able to meet with their child’s keyworker to ask questions, listen to feedback. The interviews provide parents with some knowledge about what the curriculum is for pre-school children".
"The topics have been great; my son really enjoyed The Gruffalo, Mr Men, mini beasts. The transition of the caterpillar to butterfly was amazing! – the children actually got to see it happen instead of just being told or reading it from a book".
" (My son) loved the Mr Men and Gruffalo. I thought it was such a nice idea to take a Mr Men home and take photos and write up the adventure. He also loved being the helper and what the involved. (He) loved going to Ashton Court, enjoyed going on the coach. He always looks forward to going to the allotment as well".
"I think the pre-school already does a really good job with preparing the children for primary school. Supporting the children to visit the schools is a good idea and very helpful for the children to understand the differences between pre-school and school. Things such as P.E. sessions and the children going in on their own is great. My daughter feels independent grown up when doing this".
"I have been very pleased with both my children’s time spent at St Nicholas Pre-School. I feel the Pre-school has set them up for their move onto primary school".
"I really can’t think of any ideas to improve ... we feel it’s a perfect little pre-school, being smaller than some, means it’s much more homely and nurturing and it just works! Well done. (My son) really enjoyed his time at pre-school and this is all a credit to the staff".
"I think you all do a brilliant job, all the kids seem happy and content. (My son) loves coming to pre-school. I think you do loads of things with them and you’re all lovely. Not a bad word to say. Very happy with the services you provide".
"I am 100% happy with St Nicks pre-school and staff. (My son) has loved every part of it and has never not wanted to go. I feel that he is in a safe environment, well looked after and I can discuss anything with the staff big or small. You have a wide range of outings and activities – loved the walk in the park on Sunday. I will be sad to say goodbye in July".
"I can’t find anything that I would change or that needs improving on. Both children have thoroughly enjoyed this part of their lives and 3 years on my eldest still talks about the teachers, topics and trips. They both have had the best start to their school lives and some brilliant memories. A massive thanks for all that you have done and given my babies".
"I honestly don’t think you could improve. My child has had an amazing time and has come on leaps and bounds".
"You can’t improve all I can say is that my child loves pre-school and all staff are amazing".
"The service is already excellent in my opinion. A wonderful pre-school which provided a supportive; warn, safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive in. I would recommend St Nicholas Pre-school".
"A lovely nurturing environment".
"Staff so friendly and patient with children and parents! They always remind me of things I need to remember and if I should forget they don’t get angry! Wonderful, wonderful staff thank you".
"I am very happy with this preschool. I would tell all my friends about it, it is very good and very friendly; and the staff are fantastic and very polite to talk too".
"He has loved every minute and asks to go to pre-school even on weekends. We are really pleased with how he has developed his communication, confidence and his ability to develop positive relationships with others. Keep doing what you are doing – both of our children have thrived at St Nics. Thank you so much!"
"You are all brilliant and run a lovely pre-school which prepares the children for their lives ahead. Massive thank you!"
