Hale Parent

I originally contacted Hale when I wanted to put my pre-schooler into a different, smaller and more personal setting, closer to home. Hale had an excellent reputation, good meals, a good focus on outdoor space and a well-rounded approach to learning – not just focussing on school readiness.

I also wanted my almost 2 year old to start at nursery for the first time too and at the same setting as her sister. This was tough for both me and my youngest daughter, but the staff were amazing and as a result, after one day of being unsettled, the next time she was smiling, making friends, ate lunch and even had a 2 hour nap!

The setting is just wonderful – free flow and beautiful with a well-used outdoor space. As a parent, the experience couldn’t have been better and I have nothing but positive things to say about all the staff and other children that I have met so far. There is a true sense of contentment and tranquillity about the place. The children there seem genuinely happy, polite, friendly – exactly the friends you want yours to have. The staff really went above and beyond to communicate, support and advise me and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hale – keep up the great work!
