Bishopdown Farm Pre-School & Farm Friends

"My daughter is very happy here, the staff are great and really care about the children."

"My son loves going to preschool, it is such a lovely nurturing environment that really encourages the children to develop and learn through play. They do a wide range of activities and he always comes home excited to share his news from the day. The recent move to the permanent accommodation on the Greentrees primary site has been hugely successful; the rooms are fantastic with lots of good resources and there is a brilliant outdoor play area which the children love. My older son loves attending breakfast club and after school club there too. Would highly recommend!"

"I currently have a daughter at the Bishopdown Farm Preschool and I am extremely please at how happy she is, she always comes out beaming. She has developed such confidence and made some lovely friends. The reviews on this website are a little old, so I wanted to also update you on some of the changes. The preschool has been runnng for over 15 years and recently moved over to a purpose built preschool mobile over at the Greentrees site and opens during school hours. They have a wonderful outdoor play area now and two lovely rooms dividing children into age groups. This has such a postive effect on the children and staff. The preschool also runs a successful breakfast and afterschool club (Farm Friends) that runs every day for students attending the Greentrees Primary School."

"All 4 of my children have been lucky enough to attend Bishopdown Farm Pre-school - I would highly recommend it. Although its not a purpose built Pre-school and the Pavilion is used by various other groups during the week as well, this does not stop the setting being an amazing learning and fun environment for the children, and this is due in no small part to the staff who are committed to getting the most out of the setting - there is no shortage of toys, equipment and resources, numerous trips out and visitors in, fun activities, park visits - the kids come out from there with increased confidence and ready for the next stage in their school life."

"We chose this preschool due to it's location and good Ofsted report. We were a little unsure at first as the building isn't a purpose built preschool but our son loves it. There is lots more indoor space than any other preschool or nursery I've ever seen (out of 6 or 7). Because they also have a massive storage area in the loft of the building they have loads more toys and equipment too. They rotate the equipment so the kids have different things to play with each day. They also have an enormous field and a great playground outside. My son has been happy there and seems to be very well looked after, he is just about to finish having been there 18 months and is due to go to school soon. Our other son is dying to start next academic year, when we go to drop our oher son off now our youngest never wants to leave!"
