De Lacey have been instrumental in the development of my daughter. I have found every single staff member dedicated to the work they do with the children. Everything within the nursery is so well thought out. The Key workers have always consulted me regularly and given me direction in how I can best support my daughter. The nursery includes ALL the family in social functions which gives a great sense of togetherness, which is especially important for us as a family. It doesn’t feel like a nursery but more like one big family and the children are cared for accordingly. They are even great at supporting parents like myself through transitions and a change in family circumstances. For example, when we had another baby, they supported my daughter alongside us. And also, when we had a family bereavement, the staff not only gave the care to my daughter but also us as a couple. This is a great place to send any child as they truly recognise how to get the best from each child and celebrate them.
My son, now 4, has been attending this preschool since he was 2 and every morning he is very happy to go. He is learning while having fun and it’s great to see how proud he is when he learns something new. The staff are nourishing, caring and very professional. At this preschool the focus is not only about academic abilities but about creativity, social skills, respect. This was exactly what I was looking for and the reason why I am very grateful my daughter will be able to attend the same school.
The De Lacey Montessori and all their staff have been tremendous in the way that they have helped to nurture, teach, grow and develop our son.
The warm, caring and friendly environment coupled with putting the needs of each child at the centre of what you do, has helped to establish my child and others in his group as being slightly ahead of other children that I have observed during “big school” inductions. My son looks forward to attending every day as for him it feels like a home away from home – the difference only being he has more friends to play and learn from whilst there. Thank you for the last 2 years and a bigger thank you for preparing our son for the next chapter in his life – big school and doing so in such an empowering way. The school and the staff will always be in my son’s heart and we as a family will always be grateful for the head start that you have given him. We could not have done this without you and I can’t commend, be grateful, thankful or recommend you enough to other parents.
A place where my both the kids were always happy,cheerful and eager to go. I am so proud of Charley and her team that they take care of each and every child needs and ensure they grow and develop with the much needed skills before they start the school . I have seen not only mine but other children as confident and felt contend at drop offs and pick ups. I would highly recommend Delacey to the new parents.
