WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US...

Even now, a year after my son left he still asks to go back to Snuggles. They looked after my son like he was their own and we both miss them truly. I thank all of the staff they are the best!

S Molnar 2022

All of my three sons went to this nursery and I couldn't be more happy or grateful. The staff are so kind and caring of parents as well as the children. I am really appreciative of all their patience, encouragement, compassion, teaching and support. I couldn't have picked a better pre-school to contribute and support my children's growth, especially through the pandemic.

S McGill - Reid 2022

I would definitely recommend Snuggles Pre-School. All the staff have been so kind and are always willing to help.

The staff at Snuggles will go above and beyond to support the children and their families.

R Flanders 2022

All staff have taken exceptional care of my daughter and she has flourished. She has steadily become a confident and happy learner, developing close relationships with her teachers and she bounds in through the door every morning!

My daughter has developed a love for phonics and will happily sound out, through rhyme and action, what she has been learning.

We have been particularly impressed with how involved our daughter has been learning about her community and the wider world. She particularly loved learning about Chinese New Year and the Queen’s coronation.

K Harwood 2023

My son has attended snuggles pre school since he was 2 years old, he has Down syndrome and since attending Snuggles he has come on leaps and bounds. The Senco, Manager, and all the staff are amazing. We are so thankful, we couldn't be happier and more grateful.

Snuggles staff have done so much for us to help with his development, and speech and so much more.

We will miss all the staff so much when it's time for him to go to school.
