(Email Received from a parent July 24)

Hello!

My son attends the pre-school at Brighton Avenue and I wanted to send you some positive feedback.

Our experience with the preschool at Brighton Avenue has been absolutely exceptional from start to finish this year. My son started in September so has had the joy of an entire year of joy filled mornings in the preschool environment with the wonderful team. He always has stories to tell at dinner time and speaks very positively of his time there.

The team have helped him grow in skill and confidence with his writing, number and social skills. He has also loved his muddy monsters mornings! The routine and consistency of the environment everyday has really helped him to know what to expect, and I think this in particular has really helped him feel at ease and go into school easily everyday. The team also take the time to talk to him and get to know his interests and help to engage him through them.

The team always communicate well with me as a parent if there has been an issue and are very helpful if I have had questions or concerns.

Thankyou so much for your exceptional care of my son and helping him to shine! Being able to take him to a caring team each morning has helped me so much as a parent knowing he is safe, happy and well looked after.

We are delighted he will be continuing his journey with you in reception next year but know he will miss his time in pre school very much!

Thankyou, Brighton Avenue Preschool Team, you are AMAZING!!!
