I WISH to comment on your article regarding Little Orchard Pre School’s recent Ofsted inspection results.

I myself am a teacher with almost 20 years’ experience and have one child who in the past attended Little Orchard, and two who are currently attending. We spent a great deal of time deciding where to send our children, and having visited Little Orchard there was simply no comparison.

You could not wish to leave your children in the care of a more loving, knowledgeable and kindly group of people.

I am constantly staggered by the content of my children’s learning journeys that they frequently come home with, and it is obvious to me that not only is their education more than catered for, but so is their emotional and social wellbeing. The staff have adapted their teaching styles to suit my three (very different) children. They have turned a frightened, shy little girl into a confident pupil, a boy who could barely speak into a chatterbox and a strong willed child into a caring, considerate sibling.

I know that at Little Orchard when I drop my children off they could not be in better hands. I constantly recommend them to anyone with nursery age children and will continue to do so.

As far as my husband and I are concerned, Little Orchard remains an absolutely outstanding pre-school.
