My son has loved coming to pre-school from the outset. He has been encouraged to partake in a wide range of activities with constant positive reinforcement. He has developed good relationships with the staff and is a confident young man ready for school now. I would definitely recommend this preschool.

We have been so pleased with Northfield Quaker Pre School, our daughter attended for nearly 18 months and was full time for the last year and just loved it! The staff are absolutely fantastic and they make it a fun and caring environment. My daughter also loved the forest school, Spanish lessons, music class and especially the dance lessons! The mud kitchen and digging area outside have also been great hits.

The friendly and responsible carers at the nursery have helped my son to be grown up as bilingual as they helped a lot for my son to come along with English naturally. The nursery's Monday singing session and Friday dancing session also helped my son to develop his interests in singing and dancing so now he dances and sings all the time at home. When we needed so much help due to our own difficulties in the family, the nursery helped us by scheduling more sessions so that we felt very supported by the nursery (although it was very last-minute requests). Overall, our expectation of the nursery has been met way beyond our expectation. Thank you, Team!

Northfield Quaker nursery is outstanding. My daughter loves it, she is really growing with confidence. The staff are friendly and always happy to chat. There are a variety of activities including forest school and dance classes. They have a beautiful outdoor play area with lots of grass to run around on.
