"I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful times my daughter has spent in your classes and the pleasure and learning she (and I) accumulated through the years. This is a very emotional time for us and we get ready for another step forward, leaving behind the fun and safe world at your nursery. Your memories are so precious to us and include: Jo flipping pancakes and of course the pancake race that my husband almost won, Miss Abeer’s amazing recipes and Arabic songs, Lynne’s Welsh songs that have resulted in my daughter declaring that she speaks fluent Welsh! :-D, Laura’s fascination with bugs which have made us develop compassion for worms and spiders. And of course the painting and gardening activities- and I can’t even begin to tell you what that has done to my daughter's wardrobe. And Sue’s famous words “Lets have a think”, Sue we missed you and miss you more than you know! You have built so much of her confidence and well being and I had the pleasure of watching my daughter blossom into the beautiful child that she is. I know she is already grounded and ready for that big step into the big school, if not way ahead!
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and I pray that we will be back within your lovely, friendly and joyful community soon." - June 2021
"My daughter just proudly showed me all of the beautiful things she brought home from school today, and she was especially excited to look through her yearbook with us. Such joy! I also read her year end report and started crying. I am so grateful for the honest and loving portrayal of our sweet girl during this time in her life. It's so clear that Lynne really cares for her, yet she is very genuine in her storytelling and notes areas where our daughter struggles a little and areas where she's grown. It makes me so sad that the school year is ending. I feel so, so, so grateful that we found your amazing school and that our daughter got to spend 7 glorious months there." - June 2021
"I can’t believe that my daughter's time at Small Talk is coming to an end and I cannot believe I’m actually asking for your help to apply for “big school” . Time really did fly by ... My daughter has not just benefited greatly from her time spent at Small Talk but she has loved every second of it; coming home will all sorts of songs, arts and crafts, information and knowledge and for this I will be forever grateful. She loves her teachers and refers to them as her best friends, which is so comforting for us as parents. I also look forward to our son continuing at Small Talk until it’s time for us to move to "big school" once again." - January 2021
"Thank you so much for all your efforts with our daughter over the last two years. She has loved Small Talk and will miss it so much, as will we. You have a wonderful school in which the staff clearly love the children and their jobs!" - June 2019

"Small Talk will always have a special place in our hearts and family's story." - April 2019
"My friends at Small Talk, the children talk about their experience and friends every day! Now that we are enrolled in another pre-school, it has made me realise how wonderful we had it at Small Talk. At their current school, the director doesn't look up when I come for drop off.. the assistant director always makes me feel like I am bothering her. I have ZERO communication with the teachers. There are no, so far, activities that involve the parents like Pancake Race Day!
I was always happy with Small Talk, and now I'm even more appreciative. My kids learned more, did more, were more loved than they are here. So I want to say a very big thank you - your school is top notch and I wish we had gotten to stay until the end with you! - April 2019

"I can't thank you enough for a job excellently done in taking care of my son. It has been great to watch his journey of growth. We are very grateful for everything you have done." - June 2018
"This place is something special. Our children have attended Small Talk for about three months. However, in that short span, their vocabulary, understanding of themselves and the world around them has increased immensely. We attribute this to their time spent at nursery. More importantly, our kids love it here! In fact, they are bummed when we come to collect them. The staff are warm, welcoming, and care about the kids 100%. We are a happy family knowing our children are cared for and thriving." - March 2018
"Thank you so much for everything you do! You make it seem effortless and it's definitely not! Thank you for being so amazing with my son!" - June 2017

"Thank you so much for being flexible and always helpful. We really appreciate all that you have done for both the kids and just in general the comfort and peace of mind knowing that the kids are in good hands has meant a lot." - June 2017
