"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!"

"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!!"
