"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

 

"Children enjoy a rich and invigorating learning environment... Children have excellent opportunities to explore the world around them, identify features of living things and investigate the properties of natural materials as they play... Knowledgeable staff have a clear understanding of child development and skilfully facilitate children's learning through exploration, experimentation and example... Motivational leadership provides a clear vision for the setting enthusing staff and children."     Ofsted

 

"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 had always wished to be able to give my children the freedom and intrigue of the childhood I had enjoyed, but knew it was unlikely, given that I was raised in wildest Africa! Then I discovered Wildflowers! I knew as soon as I spoke to Helena on the telephone that this was the right place for my son to be, not confined by walls and ceilings! A visit was just a formality, and I signed him up at once, to start as soon as he was 3. David enjoyed 2 wonderful years at Wildflowers, and has just started ‘big school’ full of confidence, and I am happy in the knowledge that he has spent his preschool years as a child should – outdoors, playing, learning and getting very dirty! Of course, we could not say goodbye to Wildflowers after 2 wonderful years, and now Hannah has finally officially joined – she has been waiting and visiting since she was just a year old! I know that she too will have a wonderful year before she moves on to join David at school."    Karren Hutchings, parent

 

"As a parent it can be very difficult entrusting the care of your child - the most precious gift you are ever given - to another. At Wildflowers, we happily leave Meghan in the care of Helena and her team knowing she is safe, happy and positively challenged. Wildflowers recognises that each child is unique and nurtures this uniqueness in the best possible way."    Lisa and Kevin O'Neill, parents

 

"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
