Masons Pre-School,

50 Verdayne Avenue, Croydon CR0 8TS

"Such a lovely caring Pre School. The staff are warm and friendly and my son has gone from being a very shy toddler who hardly spoke a word to a chatty, confident little boy totally ready for school. Kerry and the team do a great job and my son absolutely loves it there."

"I have had two children at Masons and couldn't possibly recommend it more. The second you walk in through the gates, you enter into a magical, children's garden and a very reassuring/comforting atmosphere for parents too! We struggled to find somewhere that my son would settle but he took to Masons straightaway and blossomed from a shy boy into a very big chatterbox which came as a surprise to us all. They learn through play, are encouraged to be independent and there is free flow into the garden. The stories, the days of the week song, finding their name to go in the basket and named pegs get them gently into a beautiful routine. There are gym sessions and help with phonics at 4 too. The 9-3 hours have worked great for us too as means I can drop older siblings to school first (morning/afternoon sessions are available as well as full days). It has made going back to work easier too as I know how happy both the children and staff are at Masons. I don't think the transition would have been so smooth for me, as a parent, if they had been anywhere else. The amazing ladies who work at Masons clearly enjoy doing what they do, and being there, which makes all the difference and it really comes across. They are such a wonderful, smiley and approachable team. It really is magical! DEFINITELY worth a visit (which reminds me, I must get my youngest's name down for when she reaches that age! We couldn't possibly go anywhere else...)."

"This is a very welcoming nursery with such lovely staff my son is normally very shy around people but he loves it here and gets excited every morning. Masons is also very educational not just for play, my son has improved massively, Couldn't be happier with this being his first nursery aged 2. Thank you!"

"My daughter has loved every minute of her time at Masons, we cannot believe this is her last term, will be so sad to leave. Would recommend to anyone lovely spacious garden outside its such a lovely place and all of the staff are amazing xx"

"My son was really happy in this nursery, happy memories still on his mind about the staff and his learning process. It is a frendly, caring and safe enviroment that I will recomend to every one who whish a happy child."
