providing the best care possible for your child

We understand the importance of a secure attachment for children. Coming to preschool for the first time can be a nervous time for children and caregivers.

At Carey Hall we do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ model and settle the children according to their specific needs. We start with a series of ‘stay and play’ sessions for all the children, alongside their adults, to familiarise themselves with the setting. However, for those needing additional support, these can be broken up into smaller sittings. This reduces the anxiety for the child and provides increased exposure for the family to bond with the team and other children.

n.b. Due to COVID-19, we are unable to have caregivers in our bubble. Our stay and play sessions will resume when allowed. In the meantime, if you wish to talk about how children are settled in during this time please contact us.

“My daughter loves going to Carey hall. All the staff are so caring and friendly and her confidence has soared since starting there. She has learnt so much, including the alphabet, counting and about different festivities. I have already put my son down to start when he is 2!”

“When you look for a childcare setting I think there are so many variables and it’s hard to make a choice. For me it came down to the fact I wanted my child to be loved. And happy. The moment I met the staff at Carey Hall I knew he would be both. I am so thrilled at the choice we made. They challenged, nurtured and got to know my child so well. He is inquisitive and confident because of their amazing support and totally now ready for school. Thank you to the Carey hall staff we love and miss you.”

“Both of my children really enjoyed their time at Carey Hall and I really believe its helped them a great deal with getting them ready for reception at big school! The staff were always so warm and welcoming and made the kids feel so comfortable and happy there. I couldn’t recommend Carey Hall enough, it’s a great starting point for little ones and I just want to say a massive thank you to you all!”

“I have three children, all of whom have attended Carey Hall preschool. It’s been a big part of our family’s lives since 2015. Carey Hall has such a caring, happy and positive atmosphere. It was the first and only place we considered for our children. The staff always have a smile on their face, they’re warm, caring and excellent at providing stimulating activities for the children. They provide a safe, supportive and nurturing environment for children to learn new skills. My children loved their time at Carey Hall. We couldn’t be happier with the progress they made and with the care that was provided for them. My youngest will be leaving next week to go to big school. He is really going to miss this special place as will I.”

“Carey Hall preschool is a warm friendly environment for children to attend. There is a family atmosphere and the owner as well as the staff go that extra mile to make you and your child feel part of a group. I visited a few preschools before I decided on Carey Hall. Without sounding critical other places do not have the same warm setting. My two daughters love their preschool. In fact my younger one, can not walk past the school without screaming I want to go to my School!”

“My youngest daughter attended Carey Hall Preschool for 2 years and it will be in my heart forever! This was a home from home for her and all the staff are just wonderful. If you want a loving, supportive family environment for your little ones then this is the place for you! We miss you Carey Hall!”

Lynda Griffiths

“Both my sons have attended Carey Hall and love it! It really is a wonderful preschool with such a unique, homely, nurturing environment. When they started at 2 years old they received all the love and attention I could ever want for them and by 4 years old my eldest was taught (in a very fun way) all he needed to know to be ready for school. I highly recommend Carey Hall for its devoted, fun and caring staff.”

Charlotte Khan

“My son absolutely loves his time at Carey hall! the staff have been amazing from induction to settling in period, always enthusiastic, friendly and so easy to talk to when you have any concerns about your little ones and have always worked with us to address any issues and solve them. The children do so many different activities and learn so many different skills. My son always speaks so excitedly about his day and the staff. highly recommend this preschool!”
