 " ...has thoroughly enjoyed his year at nursery, he settled in well and took advantage of all that was on offer to him. We wanted him to socialise and learn to get along with other's in readiness for school. He has achieved this and much more in a very stimulating environment. Thank you."

"... loves to go to school. Her confidence has improved a lot. She is very keen on reading all her letter sounds. She can use fred talk on simple words. She has made a lot of friends and she looks forward to her new class in September"

"... has come out of her shell slowly and is leaving nursery more confident in herself. She enjoyed the Friday mummy sessions."

" I am very, very impressed with ... growth during these past few months. She has improved in every way imaginable. I couldn't be more grateful.Thank you very much all the teachers."

2009

“It was the first year that… spent in the school setting and thanks to the teacher’s and teaching staff she has really enjoyed it…..has learnt a lot of information and every day she shares her knowledge with every member of her family. The melody and words to the song ‘this is the way we tidy our labs’ is known by even our family friends. Gaining confidence is really a big job for a little child but Blue Coat Nursery helped to build it gradually, step by step, in any activity and within every surrounding…..loves her school, her teacher’s and is looking forward to her new class. Thank you”

“We just would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at the Blue Coat nursery…..has progressed considerably since attending your school. Thank you for providing …with a loving,learning environment. He absolutely loved his time with you”

“I’m really pleased with….progress. Looking at her now you would not believe it was the same child that started in September. For this, I thank all the staff in Nursery for doing such a fantastic job and bringing the best out in my daughter.”

“Thank you for working so hard with…. and making him feel so welcome in his new school environment”

“I am very happy and pleased with my son’s progress. All the nursery teacher’s have helped him move forward, especially with his reading. He loves to use ‘fred talk’ and try’s to read books by himself at home. He also loves the ‘dramatic play lab’. He loves to dress up and pretend at home too. My son is a confident boy and I know he will go on to reception and do well. All down to the preparation of all his nursery teacher’s and me. Thank you for all the excellent work you have done.”
