"I currently have my second daughter in ridgeway preschool. The staff there are absolutely brilliant. They’ve really helped with potty training and bringing on my little girls confidence. She especially likes singing and cooking with Mandy. They send lots of updates via an app and I find this really reassuring. I’d definitely reccomend them- and I often do :)"

Our Ethos, Aims & Objectives
Our Ethos, Aims & Objectives
It is our aim to care for children in an educational setting which is safe, happy, stimulating and caring.
By creating such an environment, we can help all our children develop to fulfil their potential.
We want to allow our children to be children, while equipping them with the skills to take them on their learning journey.
We firmly believe in the value of learning through play. Children learn best when they are thoroughly engaged in quality play activities based on their interests. We have a focus on outdoor learning where children can explore, grow, develop and make a mess throughout the day. This embeds a love for the outdoors, for physical activity, the environment, and the world around them.

"Based on the key advice of the staff at Ridgeway Preschool, I deferred my daughter for a year and honestly, it’s the best decision I could have made. These last few months, I am witnessing her growing in confidence and becoming a far more self assured young lady- a whole world away from when she first started over a year ago. The staff really do work tirelessly and the individual support, care and attention given to the children is invaluable. My daughter waltzes into pre-school and is thriving- the best feeling we want as parents!!"

"My son has been attending the preschool since he was 2.5 years old. The staff are brilliant and provided the key one-to-one support he needed to settle in a new and unusual environment. He is always so excited to go and always comes out smiling!"
