WHAT PARENTS LOVE ABOUT US

Developing character, as well as learning

"Prepatoria has been fundamental to the development of our child's learning, development and character. We are ever so grateful to the staff for their help and support through the first stages of our child's life, from Nursery to Toddlers. We highly recommend the good work this establishment provides."

Rik H

Our little one loves attending

"The staff are knowledgeable and attentive, know each child - even the office staff know 
all the children by name; they make you feel like they really care. The food is packed with fruit and veg, all cooked fresh - our little one devours each meal. We always feel safe in the knowledge that our little one is taken care of and in exceptionally good hands, and most importantly, our little one loves attending."
Kirstie L.

A friendly, nurturing environment

"We could not be happier with The Prepatoria. It is a friendly, nurturing environment where I know my child is safe, happy and stimulated. I have been impressed and reassured by the gentle transitions through each stage so that my daughter (and me!) feel confident and secure. The resources are lovely and inspire great imagination and creativity, which are important to us. The staff are fantastic. I know my child is in safe, experienced hands. She comes home chatty and inspired!"
D.F.

Exactly what you want for your child

"I knew that the Shrewsbury Prepatoria was the right place for my baby the moment I looked at the prospectus and arranged an appointment—extremely professional right from the start with high standards - exactly what you want for your child."
