Great Pre-school.
Delighted the Nursery got a good Ofsted report, good decision to bring Clara back to sort out the Pre-School, she as turned the Pre-School round. My daughter loves going to the Nursery, and all she talks about is Clara's volcano lesson.
Review
The owner had little knowledge of childcare and education and the manager had poor organisational and leadership skills. They didn't employ staff who were well trained and experienced but I believe this has hopefully changed now as I've noticed they have had a better ofsted report after a year or so of poor quality teaching and education gradings.
The best pre-school teacher leaves, you will be greatly missed.
My child is really upset and cried after we learnt that it was Clara's last day on Friday at the Nursery. Also when I was picking my child up even parents were crying, because the children had a special bond with Clara. She was the only one in the pre-school who made sure the children had a different lesson each day. I will tell you how good she was I asked my child each day what he did at the Nursery, and I could tell straight away which day Clara had a day off in the week, because when I asked him what he did to day at pre-school he said it was rubbish, because Clara was not at school that day. I found out why Clara was leaving, and the Manager of the Nursery and the Owner have made a very big mistake in not asking her to stay, because she was sorting out the problems in the pre-school. Clara you will be greatly missed I am delighted that my child as only a few months to go before he starts school, because I would have wanted him to be taught by you.
All the best in your new job.
The 5 stars are only for Clara and not the Nursery.

One of the best pre-school teachers.
Just found out Clara is leaving today and going to another Nursery, very disappointed as she is an excellent pre-school teacher. who single handed as transformed the pre-school with a lot of different ideas in teaching.
All the best in your new job, as a Manager.

Best Pre-school teacher.
All the best Clara in your new job, I hope they appreciate you more, excellent pre-school teacher.
Great Teacher.
I have just found out Clara is leaving, I am very upset because my child says she makes a different lesson each day, and when she as a day off each week, he says that day is rubbish the teachers are not in the same league. All the best in your new job.
New team needed.
Poor Management, staff just leave because of this, the owners need to bring in a top management team, to gain a better report from Ofsted.
Volcano
Excellent Nursery, despite Ofsted giving it a poor rating, the Pre-School teachers are very good, each day they explain what my daughter as been taught, and Clara makes lots of different actives, my daughter enjoyed the volcano that Clara made, and would like to see it rumble again.
Clara's volcano lesson.
My Daughter loved Clara's volcano lesson, when she made a volcano and showed how it worked, by making lather flow from the volcano.
Staff should wear a Nursery shirt with Walmgate embossed on it.
I noticed when I picked my child up from the Nursery, most of the staff do not have a Walmgate Nursery shirt, and have different coloured shirts on, it would look better for everyone who worked at the Nursery to look smartly dressed, all wearing a Walmgate shirt. Also it advertises the Nursery.
Lovely Nursery
The Nursery is very clean, and the staff are really nice, Lucy the Manager was very nice and helpful, and my toddler loves going to the Nursery and as made a lot of friends.
Great Staff
Great staff and the Nursey is very clean, the owners wife is really nice and very helpful.
