My daughter has attended this preschool for 2 years now and I can not thank the staff enough for how they have nurtured and encouraged her to grow into a strong independent caring child who is ready to start her big school journey. Preschool has given Sofia the opportunity to be curious, follow and develop her own interests. I would like to give a special mention to Katy and Jan who took an initially shy and reluctant little girl and with warmth caring and support turned her into a little chatty box with a love for everything. Thank you Poplar Preschool. Donna (Sofia F’s Mummy).

From the very first day at Poplar Preschool, the staff made us feel welcome and supported. Modola has blossomed in so many ways socially, emotionally, and academically thanks to the caring, patient, and dedicated teachers.
She comes home excited to share what she learned and the fun she had with her friends. It’s clear that the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to encourage creativity, curiosity, and confidence.
Thank you Poplar Preschool for giving our daughter such a strong and joyful start to her learning journey!

Well what can we say about Poplar Pre School! They have cared for both our children for the last 6 years! Firstly our daughter who left in 2020 and now our Son who is off to School in September!
The staff become fully emersed in the children's development and have got to know them both so well. Both our children loved coming and we cannot fault the care they received. They nurture the children all the way to getting them ready for school.
Despite our Son now being ready for the next Chapter we are going to miss the Pre School so much! I have loved seeing our children development there and we cannot thank them enough for all they have done.

Thank you all so much for such an amazing year for Freddie at Poplar.
Freddie LOVES going to Pre-School and we have loved watching him grow and develop across the course of the year.
Poplar’s introduction to a school setting; in terms of lining up before class, having a set lunch time and helping with roles like snack monitor etc. but still maintaining a relaxed & playful environment, has helped him develop into a kind, confident & independent little boy.
He has made a good group of close friends and we really enjoy seeing the weekly updates that are posted to the Tapestry App, so we can see what he’s been up to!
Freddie is going to Reception in September with the best possible start from Poplar, and our only regret is that we did not send him to you sooner.
Thank you all again for everything 🩵

“ Poplar pre-school is a fantastic pre-school, where our daughter has thrived. She has grown in confidence so much since being here, and is now completely ready for school. The wide range of creative activities offered is amazing, and she has really enjoyed her time here. I would 100% recommend Poplar pre-school. All of the staff here are so caring and dedicated, and they go above and beyond on a daily basis. ”

My son absolutely loves his Pre-School days all of the staff have been supportive and caring. The relationship he has built with his key person is wonderful and all of the staff are always happy to see the children each day. He has learnt new skills and made some wonderful friends! The staff have taken such care over his transition to school and we will miss Poplar Pre-school.

I couldn’t have wished for a more caring, supportive, and nurturing preschool for my son. From the very beginning, the staff have not only embraced Sebastian but have also welcomed and supported us as a family. As a child with additional needs, Sebastian has received thoughtful, tailored care that has made a world of difference. The team has guided us through every step of the process to access the support he needs, always going above and beyond to ensure he feels safe, included, and understood. We are truly grateful to be part of such a compassionate and dedicated community.

Having already sent our daughter to Poplar we had no doubt that we would want our son to go there too. He is now about to graduate from the preschool and once again we have been so happy with the care he has received. It's a nurturing school and despite the number of children being cared for we still felt like ours was given the individual attention that he needed to help him progress and overcome any difficulties he was having. The staff have always been really lovely and our son always speaks very fondly of them. There are always a variety of areas for the children to play in to develop their skills and independence is encouraged so we feel confident that he will be prepared for the transition to EYFS. We will always have lovely memories of our time at Poplar!

Poplar pre school is a lovely pre school that has provided all of our four children a fun and nurturing learning environment. The teachers have always cared for our children, and made sure they are happy throughout their pre school day. The pre school teachers and office staff provide great communication with parents, and always ensure they are kept up to date with their child’s day. They have encouraged friendships and great learning for all of our children in preparation for primary school and we want to thank the wonderful teachers for always welcoming them with a smile ( or cuddle ) when needed. Thank you so much for making our children’s pre school time so great!

We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and support our daughter has received at Poplar Pre-School. From the very beginning, the staff have been absolutely brilliant at making her feel happy, safe, and comfortable. She had delayed speech and language skills when she started, and the way they have supported her development has been brilliant.
Over her time at the preschool, we’ve seen such a positive transformation—not only in her language skills, but also in her overall confidence. She’s made lots of friends, loves the staff, and is genuinely excited to go in every morning, which speaks volumes about the nurturing and engaging environment they’ve created.
The variety of activities offered has kept her curious and involved, and we truly feel that the preschool has played a huge role in preparing her for the next big step into school life. We can’t thank the team enough!

Poplar preschool is brilliant! All the staff are caring, nurturing and really get to know your child as an individual and their needs. Our son came on leaps and bounds during his time at Poplar preschool learning lots of amazing, wonderful things and always had a fun story to tell. He’s now leaving confident & ready to start his new adventure at primary school.

I can't begin to explain how amazing Poplar
Preschool are. The staff, the environment everything has always been so lovely. My daughter has loved her time here and all the lovely ladies that have been there for her Preschool journey. Sharon has been her key worker and my daughter adores her as do I. They are all kind, caring and just all round amazing. I will be very sad to be saying goodbye as will my daughter. Mrs Smith.
