Seedlings Kindergarten's Reviews

My children really thrived under Katie’s care!

Seedlings Kindergarten is wonderful!

My son attended from 2016 to 2020 starting when he was 2 and ’graduating’ at age 6. My daughter has attended since she was 2 in 2017 and is due to ‘graduate’ next year when she’ll be 6.
The Kindergarten is in a beautiful setting in a specially converted barn; the inside space is carefully laid out and the lovely garden play area has a sandpit, mudpit, willow hut and a playhouse as well as plenty of outdoor toys.

Both my children have been very happy at Seedlings. They have really benefited from Katie’s warm and nurturing presence and the routine of free play, art and craft, circle time and snack time all revolving around the seasons. It is always a joy for me to hear them singing the songs and re-telling stories at home and to hear about the fun they had with the other children.
The children are also engaged in tidying away the toys daily and helping with food preparation for the many festivals that are celebrated throughout the year. It has been wonderful to see their confidence growing as Katie has gently guided them in learning to contribute to the group in an age appropriate way.

I feel very fortunate that my children have had this rare opportunity to grow and thrive in such a nurturing environment led by Katie who is totally dedicated to providing the best possible experience for the children.

Thank you for the lovely feedback Emma!

Wonderfully nurturing home from home

Seedling is really like a home from home setting. Wonderful indoor space set up with a range of natural toys to encourage learning through play. Every day follows a rhythm, with playtime, songs and story time, encouraging imagination. This has helped my daughter blossom from a sensitive introvert in a short time. She comes home singing songs and happy each day. She loves outdoor play in the secure garden, and the homemade snack they have each day, and that they can help prepare. Childhood as it should be, and as a secondry school teacher I know Seedlings is helping develop the skills my daughter really needs to be happy and succeed.

Seedlings provides a safe, beautiful and nurturing environment with all the care and support you could wish for. My daughter has always been very happy and content with her time at Seedlings. Katie is very kind and approachable. I highly recommend her.

Beautiful setting & caring environment

Both my kids went to Seedlings Steiner kindergarten.
We chose Katie’s group because we felt she provided the right amount of nourishment & care along with the freedom to explore & develop the individual nature of the child.
The setting is beautifully designed, all elements creating a gentle, happy and relaxing environment for the children. There’s lots of singing, role play, craft, cooking & outdoor exploration to keep them excited.
Katie is a calm and kind teacher providing great guidance for her group and teaching valuables lessons about nature, relationships to one another and the environment.
