School & kindergarten in Romford

“St Thomas' Pre-school is a beautiful hidden gem in Noak Hill, with fantastic staff who are friendly, creative, approachable and kind. There is a lovely outdoor area with a nature garden for children to explore and learn in. My two sons had wonderful key-workers who were patient and kind and helped them to learn and grow in confidence. The staff really care about the children and take the time to get to know each child and their unique needs. They also make the parents feel welcome and involved. St Thomas' preschool is a lovely safe setting and the staff work hard to provide fun, memorable experiences for the children.”

“I took my daughter to baby sensory from 10weeks old. She absolutely loved it as did I. First of all it was more for me than her I guess, getting out to the same class every week, I made some lovely mummy friends and as my daughter grew, she realised she had become friends with their children too. Starting from such a young age was so beneficial as we learnt different signs which was great for communication and development and she would always leave exhausted from absorbing everything in the class. She loved all the songs and we would sing them at home too. Every week is different, no 2 classes are the same. We learnt so many different songs and actions and was gutted when she hit 13 months and we graduated. I then went on to take my son once he was born who loved it just as much as his big sister did, I never got bored of it at all. Kelly was our class leader and her positive energy and enthusiasm made the classes what they were. She put 110% effort into every activity we done, she captured my little ones attention from start to finish as she interacts with all the babies through the class. Finding out she was then able to play a part in my sons 1st birthday was literally the icing on the cake. Provided all equipment and instruments for our jungle animal themed party and everyone that came had nothing but amazing feedback for her party. 100% recommend to everyone”

“My son loves his days at the nursery. Happy to know he’s safe and learning with hus peers.”

“They are very good, flexible, got good and knowledgeable staff. They are approachable and always ready to listen and act immediately.”

“My three daughters had the most wonderful education ....they loved the lunches!! Best time ever all round.”

“Such an incredible nursery. My daughter is very happy here and settled in so well. The staff are very kind and friendly. I really appreciate how they give each individual child their time and parents feedback on how their child's day was. This is from my own experience on collecting my daughter and seeing members of staff also interact with other parents too. I find this incredibly useful as we are able to understand a bit more on what the child has been up to on that particular day. They also provide a parents APP which is updated weekly and provides detailed information about your child's progress and photos which is always loving to see!”

“We were very happy with feedback given to us about Albert. Joanne was very clear and and obviously very knowledgeable about Albert and where he is on his learning goals and personal development. We are also very happy with the learning environment within the nursery. Albert loves going to nursery on nursery days and always goes in and comes out with a huge smile on his face. The way the nursery has dealt with the extra stress of COVID 19 is also a credit to you and the whole team. The new procedures and adaptations the nursery have introduced are all very clear and easy to follow and enforced. Thank you for keeping Albert safe and helping his development. Sarah and myself couldn’t be happier.”

“Wonderful staff and friendly manager. My daughter was finding it difficult to settle in and they have been handling it so well. She has been going in for 2months and I feel assured as they keep parents well updated. Honestly, couldn’t have asked for a better setting for my child.”

“Our daughter has been attending Over The Rainbow Nursery for almost a year now. As a qualified social worker who has worked in child protection it was imperative that our daughter was placed in a happy environment where safeguarding is paramount and she would be encouraged to develop. Over The Rainbow have ensured that she settled in well and has a key worker who she felt secure and happy with. We receive regular updates with regards to her progression and it is clear to see that the staff are passionate and caring about the children. Our daughter has been taught so much, from learning to share and take turns to using cutlery to feed herself (all age-appropriate things). Our daughter runs into nursery each week and we are very pleased that she enjoys her time at the nursery. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to anyone considering placing their child in daycare and wanted a secure and happy environment for their child.”

“This nursery is amazing and is like a second home to my son. He first started in 2015 when he was 1yo and still goes back to the holiday club now he’s in primary school. Great teachers/aunties and great management. They are fantastic with children with additional needs too. Thank u CHNPS x”
