Happy Children, Happy Parents
Testimonials from the parents.
Old Rayne Preschool was not initially my intended preschool setting for my kids but after my son attended 2's group here I quickly realised the staff, environment, and core values were exactly what I was looking for to help my son grow. I'm delighted to say that preschool works closely with both my son and myself to ensure they meet all of his needs and help nurture him on his journey to beginning primary school. I can't wait to enrol my daughter for 2's group when she reaches two.

We just LOVE this preschool! My son’s learning so much, has made great friendships, all supported by the most awesome staff. Forest school (every Friday in the warmer terms) is a huge hit and a real benefit to being at a smaller, rural setting. Getting him up and out the door is never a problem when it’s a preschool day! Feedback from the staff is always valuable and displays that they really know my child, and all his little quirks!

Both of my wee boys have attended Old Rayne Preschool over the last 4 years. It is a lovely relaxed setting with a real community spirit. The staff are wonderful and caring and the children seem to thrive with the added extras of the mud garden and option of forest school. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to parents.
