Testimonials

Our son has been going to Cinder Ash since he was 18 months old. We looked at several different nurseries on our hunt but Cinder Ash was the best fit for our son. The staff are extremely friendly and always make time to talk to you at drop offs and pick ups. Our son helping and promoting him to use the toilet. All in all I would recommend Cinder Ash to anyone who's looking for childcare for their child. I am extremely happy to see my child flourish into a confident and happy little boy! So thank you all at Cinder Ash.

After looking around lots of places to reluctantly leave our baby to return to work we found cinder ash. We knew it was the best fit, a welcoming homely environment with genuine caring staff. Now he doesn't have to go, we send him through choice as he loves his keyworker and all the staff. As a boisterous toddler it is still the right environment allowing him to explore and engage with lots of experiences, plus being free to play outside as much as possible. We love how cinder ash has grown with him.

We feel very blessed to have our daughter attend Cinder Ash Pre School. We were worried about her starting Pre School but needn't have been. She absolutely loves it and the first thing she says when she wakes each morning is "school day!" with the biggest of smiles. The staff take the time to know each child and their families so that everyone is comfortable; the children and the parents.

Each day we hear stories from our daughter about the fun, adventures and learning that she has experienced; reinforced by the photos and stories that are shared with us through Tapestry. Her communication skills and confidence has grown no end since attending. Cinder Ash addresses the educational needs of each child as well as their emotional and social wellbeing. Being part of the committee allows me to have an input into every aspect of her experience and I'd encourage all other parents to get involved with this great opportunity and Pre School.

(Our child) has enjoyed all the personalised learning opportunities that are available, and we have really noticed a striking difference in his language

I as a parent feel that I am respected and cared for as well as my daughter. Cinder Ash are truly amazing, they really are just wonderful. I am so proud my little girl attends Cinder Ash and will be confident in sending her little sister later next year

The vibe straight away was really lovely, a calm atmosphere with plenty of things for the children to do, regardless of their age. I love the tapestry app and the staff always keep me updated with what (my child) is doing, as well as how he is eating, nappy changes etc. For me this is going above and beyond what I expected when (my child) started, and I love how I still feel involved when I am not with him

All staff have a natural ability to connect with (my child), delivering a range of love to learn activities daily/weekly. In my experience (my child) is being nurtured and attended to with the upmost care. The setting of being a mixed aged room has been a great positive for (my child), I feel he has been able to learn and grow with children of all ages making wonderful friendships along the way

I feel like you have all got to know (my child) and his personality, and that is really special. I will be so sad in September when he is at school and no longer part of such a lovely pre-school! I feel like you all go above and beyond for our children and I can’t thank you enough

They’ve provided me with fantastic support and even asked a second opinion on if they had covered everything they could so as to ensure they didn’t miss any support that they could provide to my son. I always recommend Cinder Ash to anyone who asks and will continue to do so as they have been absolutely incredible for my children

Would I recommend Cinder Ash? YES YES YES! What A fabulous, caring, creative environment for my little girl to learn so many life skills! I will be sad when September comes and it is her time to move on. The staff are second to none so professional but caring and kind too, they spot when my daughter is happy, sad, a bit off colour or not quite feeling herself and react brilliantly

My son is always greeted with open arms at the door making him feel comfortable. He always comes out full of excitement showing me pictures which he has made or drawn in nursery.

We are regularly updated by staff on tapestry with different topics and information on activities the children will be doing for the week. Also on sickness and other valuable information. By far a great playschool and my other son has also been signed up ready for when he starts next year

Cinder Ash is such a welcoming and friendly setting. He is learning so many new things each time he goes and there is always a wide range of activities for him to get involved in

Parent Partnership

Partnership with parents is at the core of our values, and we strongly promote this within the setting. Through working together we feel children are given the best possible opportunities to thrive, and reach their full potential.


We offer an open door policy, where parents are welcome to pop in at any time, no appointment required. We welcome any feedback from parents, and view this as an extremely valuable tool for reviewing and improving our practise.
