"Children benefit greatly from a rich and stimulating learning environment enabling them to make excellent progress in all aspects of their learning and development."
"Children are exceptionally happy and settled, which allows them to flourish and develop excellent attitudes towards learning and make rapid progress in all areas of their development. They develop exceptional skills for the future. This is due to extremely skilled and enthusiastic practitioners and the wonderfully enabling learning environment."
"Practitioners take full advantage of every opportunity as it arises to help children learn. They question, challenge and hugely encourage each child according to their individual level of development, which aids their progression immensely."
"The time spent outdoors has a significant impact on children's learning as it provides an abundance of opportunities for them to use their imagination, to be inventive and resourceful."
"Children are learning about keeping safe exceptionally well. They are developing an excellent awareness of healthy lifestyles."
"[Parents] recognise positive changes to their children's mood and see an immense increase in their confidence and self-esteem."
"Children develop harmonious relationships with others, through negotiation, taking turns and cooperation. They behave well and demonstrate exceedingly good manners and consideration for each other as they play and when at the dining table."
Other Testimonials
"You have a fantastic philosophy which is so clearly reflected in your practice. The children are so lucky to be able to have such amazing experiences." Simon Small, Early Years Support Teacher
"We are so glad we made the decision to enrol Isabella at Wildflowers where we feel she has been loved, cared for as an individual and listened to. She has blossomed into a very confident and entertaining little girl. She brings home wonderful stories from her days with you, and we would like to think that she has really enjoyed some very 'proper' childhood time, before starting 'big' school, which was a very important part of selecting Wildflowers. From the very beginning I discovered and understood what it was that I found so unique about Wildflowers - it is that whatever the situation you always put the children first - you show you are at their level and they are important." Helen Deacon and Richard Tatner, parents
"I can't think of a better place to learn about life than here. Eliot will be spending the next 14 years of his life mostly stuck in a classroom - at least we have given him one year of freedom to learn amongst nature, doing what little boys of three like to do... The children are constantly building their confidence and gathering important skills to take with them to the classroom when they start school." Emma Sumpster, parent
"I liked playing on a log and there were lots of logs and I liked it... The best thing I've ever done is build a house and share it." Tess, 4 years
