Brookside Pre-school

Brookside pre-school is a registered charity which aims to provide the local community with a quality pre-school provision. We strive to offer children a happy and enjoyable introduction to their educational journey by building their core foundations to learning. During the first few years of a child’s life the brain develops rapidly.  Positive experiences and stimulation for young children are therefore vital to well-being in later life.  We aim to make sure that every child who comes to Brookside will leave with confidence, independence and a love for learning ready for the next stage in their education.

Quite simply the best pre-school provision I have ever come across. The kids really do have adventures! An incredibly nurturing, engaging and inventive team in a lovely woodland setting. They have excellent staffing ratio's and are just plain excellent. They're embracing of all cultures, they get the kids involved in the outdoors. They even had eggs in an incubator hatch in to chicks this spring! My youngest simply loves it, it's clearly his favourite place and he has a mixture of childcare through the week including school pre-school and a for-profit nursery. These guys, Brookside are a local charity, set up by parents over 40 years ago. They've got it to an absolute tee! I cannot speak highly enough of them. Our eldest wishes she could go there. Parent's of Gatley, if there are spaces on their waiting list, once you know more you will want your little ones to be on it, I have no doubt!

We used Brookside Pre-School for our eldest son, and he loved it there. they have the woodland setting which is great if the kids need a field to run around in. They've got wet and dry areas so the kids can explorer textures, and they get the kids involved in making amazing murals and wall coverings. Still love the Chinese dragon they made last year. We felt very welcomed in to a warm nurturing environment, where the staff are very professional and yet friendly. As a parent, i was impressed with the level of detail they went to, I remember last year they reared chicks from eggs around easter time, I've never seen another nursery even come close to do anything like that. The kids learnt so much just by that one simple thing, brilliant. Great welcoming staff, warm playful environment, inside and outside for those sunny days, and muddy puddle days. Excellent standard of care, and a very happy child. Thank you Brookside!
