Tracey

Manager

I have always thoroughly enjoyed my role at Copythorne pre-school since arriving in 2005. The children and families I have had the pleasure to know, and the teams I have worked with, have all helped to shape and make the pre-school that is ours today. I am eternally grateful for all that have come and gone, but also know that more good things will come in the future.

I love my role within the pre-school, and the brilliant team that I work with. It is my passion to help children grow and develop, and watch them flourish with every new life skill that they learn.

I enjoy working at our lovely pre-school, being a small setting we get to know the children really well. The children make me smile every day and never fail to amaze me.

Parents feedback

My son started here at 2yrs 3 months and loved every minute of it. From trips to Testwood lake to going down to there own allotment. The staff are lovely and teach the children in a fun and enjoyable way. I will be sending my next child as soon as he's old enough!

EW

My son currently goes here and absolutely loves it. He has made lots of lovely friends who he will be going up to school with. The staff are fantastic and they really care and engage with the children. The creative learning stations they set up, in addition to the normal free play areas, are so engaging for the children and these activities change daily. They have so much space to explore and play. Thoroughly recommend!

My daughter always loves going to preschool & the staff are lovely. They are able to offer me flexibility which as a shift worker is a massive help. Would recommend

William is so proud of his apple crumble, made at preschool yesterday, he couldn't eat it until today as I was not home before he went to bed last night, so we are sharing it now, I am so lucky with the lovely ladies that look after him here!!!!
