The staff at the nursery have done wonders for my daughter she is also a sen child and they’ve gone about and beyond to help her settle. Communication is brilliant and it’s such a happy warm place. Recommend highly

Rudgwick pre school has been beyond brilliant! My two children (4 and 3) have been here whilst we're in-between a mega life change, moving from London to Argentina - via Rudgwick. They've both been really unsettled as their dad has moved ahead of us. The staff helped them settle immediately - they were rarely happy going into our nursery in London whereas here, they have both walked in without looking back from day one. We have only had one teary episode. They run out and the youngest shouts 'I am so happy, I love it!'
I think the pre-school has an excellent routine at drop off. It is the same every day & the children to walk in themselves. They set up different activity tables each day so there is painting, train sets, cars, puzzles, tea parties etc etc - sometimes with different themes such as 'The Tiger who Came to Tea'.
There is also lots of outdoor play - one day they came back raving about making a bonfire & drinking hot chocolate. They also get gymnastics equipment out which my children have loved.
Special thanks from our kids to Mrs Bicknell, Mrs Brown, Mr Chris and Mrs Miles. They think you're fab (as do I!)

From the moment we visited Rudgwick Preschool I knew that it was the setting for Isaac. He has settled in brilliantly which is a testament to how amazing all the staff are there. He comes home after each session with tales of what he has done and it is lovely to see pictures of all of his adventures on the Tapestry App that the preschool use. I couldn't be happier with how well they care for him, such a fantastic start to his learning journey, thank you ladies! 😊

What a wonderful preschool Rudgwick is. A real home from home. My son is very happy here, adores his teachers and always has fun! All the ladies are so attentive and nurturing and I feel incredibly reassured leaving my little one in their care! 🙂

My son was a late joiner and the staff and children all welcomed him so wonderfully. He is stimulated, challenged and has so much fun! Loves his friends.
The team at Rudgwick PreSchool should be so proud of themselves and their impact on local families lives :)
Thank you!

Both my daughter and now my son have attended Rudgwick Preschool. The staff there are all so kind, caring and nurturing that I never worry if my children will have a bad day in their care! My son frequently tells people how much he loves his Preschool!
My daughter has also transitioned so well to "big school", down in part to the excellent preparation that the staff help the children with, such as Monday Club, where the older children get to spend more time together doing all sorts of fun activities, readying them for their move to school. Also, a lot of her friends from here are now in her class too!
I couldn't recommend Rudgwick Preschool higher.

Both my children have attended Rudgwick Pre School and have absolutely loved it. My youngest started in September 2020 during a pandemic. We have been blown away with the organisation and work that has gone into creating a happy and safe environment for the children during such a challenging time. It is reassuring to know that my child is having some normality and a great time in the early years of his education. I would recommend Rudgwick Pre School to anyone.

I have had the privilege of all three of my children going through Rudgwick Pre-School. It was a home from home for them. They all had different needs and expectations and in each case this was more than met. Claire and her lovely team consistently go out of their way to make each child feel welcome and special. My youngest was there during Covid and as usual the team rose to the challenge and created a safe, fun and welcoming place for the children. I cannot recommend them highly enough. A great grounding for school.

My daughter loved going to Pre-School here and my son is currently really enjoying it too. The staff are fantastic and very caring and nuturing. I have no complaints and feel very confident leaving my children in their care.
The focus is on playing and the children learn so much and have fun whilst they are doing it. My daughter's transition to school was easy and I'm sure it's because she had already met the majority of her class at Pre-School and the staff make a real effort to take them on walks round "Big school" and take them along to watch the Christmas play and Sports Day etc..

My daughter has started at Rudgwick Pre-school this Autumn term and is thriving there. Often, even when she is having a difficult morning, the second she is through the doors she is as happy as can be. The staff are all exceptionally trained with great emphasis on continued training. The setting has helped already to promote my daughter's speech, confidence and ability to play with and alongside other children. I couldn't recommend this pre-school highly enough.

My children have all attended Rudgwick Pre-School over the past 7 years. The staff are friendly, helpful and experienced. The toys and activities are changed weekly so the children always have something new to explore and learn. Craft, role play, puzzles, singing, stories and outside play can be observed every day. The children are happy, calm, interested and keen.
The Pre-School is very much part of the local community from walking around the village to organised trips out and about. With a good focus on moving up to primary school, the Pre-school is closely linked to Rudgwick Primary, all term times and inset days are the same which as a parent makes it much easier with children attending both settings.
My youngest child has just finished his time at Rudgwick Pre-School and having had lots of visits to the Primary School with Pre-School he is more than ready to join his big sisters in the new term.

Both of my girls have attended the pre-school and have loved it. The staff are long serving and extremely dedicated. They create a very positive and caring environment for all the children. Knowing that my children are happy and very well cared for has made me feel confident when returning to work. I highly recommend the pre-school to everyone - it has a family feel that I will greatly miss when it is time to move on to 'big' school.

Our son joined Rudgwick Pre School after being very unsettled at his previous nursery. From day one he has LOVED it and was made to feel welcome, secure and happy! The staff are all wonderful; there are so many activities, opportunities for trips out, visitors to the pre school and a lovely inside and outside environment. He has grown in confidence and been so happy there, and is so well prepared for starting school. Never once has he not wanted to go in, the staff are so kind, caring and organised and he enjoys the regular structure and routines. He has been encouraged across all areas of the EYFS curriculum and when I have regularly met with his key worker she has confidently spoke about where he is, how he's doing, and where he is aiming for next. I really feel that they know my child so well! Thank you for a wonderful year, I wish we'd found you sooner!!

My daughter has just finished a year at Rudgwick Preschool and has grown so much in confidence and independence. The staff are so attentive and feedback regularly to the parents which is so valuable. There is always an array of activities set up for both genders and all ages and the outdoor space is wonderful regardless of the weather. I would highly recommend this Preschool for anyone looking for their child - thank you to all the staff for all they have done! We will miss you 😘

My child joined this year and has had a wonderful experience and skips in each morning with a huge, beaming smile. The staff are lovely and the resources are very good; outside classroom, mud kitchen, slides, drive on cars, craft tables, library area..the list goes on! I particularly like how they send home little activities every now and then for the family to complete. It really helps ensure the staff are up to date with each child’s interests and achievements at home. Progress meetings are also very informative and well-structured. The staff are well-trained and it is clear they really care about each little person in their care. Couldn’t ask for more, thank you!

My daughter started off at Rudgwick Pre school earlier this year and although she joined mid year the staff were FANTASTIC at ensuring she integrated well, was comfortable in her new surroundings and happy. Now she attends two mornings a week and every morning asks if she can go to 'school'. The staff are WONDERFUL, so loving, attentive to the children and set fantastic examples to the children. She comes out from her sessions so happy, full of creative things she has made and stories from her time there - I highly recommend this Preschool. Such a warm, loving environment.

I've only had 2 visits with my son to the nursery and have to say I have no worries about my son attending, as the staff are so lovely and welcoming.
The environment is calm and children are all busy engrossed in a large variety of activities both inside and out.
I am so happy to see the pre school also do forest school and explore the village in trips out which my son will love!
Can't wait for him to start and get to know all the other parents and staff more.

My Nieces went to Rudgwick Pre School and loved every minute of it and our family was always very happy with the care and education they received. I would love my children to get into Rudgwick Pre School but as the word is out how good it is, it is obviously in very high demand!!! In my opinion they 100% deserve the "Outstanding" mark they got from Ofsted. I can't think of a better start in life for my children, the staff are lovely & the setting is fantastic, what more could any parent wish for.
