Testimonials

Birkenshaw Kindergarten has cared for my daughter since she was 8 months old.  She is very happy there, her face tells the story.  She always wants to go.  She does not want to leave but still plays when mummy collects her and has made lots of friends.  Birkenshaw Kindergarten has created a happy, healthy, safe environment which has contributed to my child's development.  I shall feel sad when her time ends there and I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to others in the future!

Ms K Webster

Birkenshaw Kindergarten should be nursery of the year 2011 as all the staff are so caring and put all the childrens needs first by settling all of the children into a routine and ensuring they are all stimulated mentally.  It is such well equipped and the meals are healthy and the children learn new things all the time as my child has shown.

Ms J Grainger

They genuinely care about the welfare of the kids.The staff are always happy and friendly.  The equipment is good.  The kids like the food and the management are flexible and helpful.  Plus they can walk the kids to and from the local school as needed which is a great bonus!

Ms G Lofthouse

Birkenshaw Kindergarten always got the extra mile to help out - it's so reassuring to know as a full time mum that they are always there to help especially as we don't have family that live around the corner.

Ms K Supple

The staff are very friendly and share their time with all of the children.  They have a wide selection of toys and accessories.  They let me know straight away if there is anything wrong with my son.  Parents evening was very thorough and everything was explained fully.

Ms R Pickard

Birkenshaw Kindergarten is a fantastic environment for my son to develop.  It's not too big for it to feel unfriendly, but it's big enough to offer him all the facilities and variety he needs to grow and learn.  The garden offers variety, overlooks a farmer's field and provides opportunities for him to play outside even when it rains.

Ms K Rider
