2nd Jul 2024

A massive thank you to everyone who took time to send private messages ,thank you cards and complete our parental survey monkeys and SEND views,these are most informative and will enable us to plan for the future.
Your comments were soooooo thoughtful,kind and precious and the staff were proud of the work and support they gave you and your children this year.

I wouldn't change a thing, keep up the amazing standards you are already achieving!! All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and easy to talk to. As a parent who has experienced other nurseries I have found that you have a strong parental presence and involvement in the children's nursery experience which I love. The communication through seesaw is amazing, it's great to see wee photos through the day and the monthly newsletter is a great to keep up with what is happening for the month ahead and what they are learning about. Ollie absolutely loves going to nursery and knowing he is happy and content makes all the difference. I am delighted he will be staying for another year. Well done and Thank-you for everything you have done and continue to do for our children xx

Aria had had a great time at good shepherd nursery this year, she has had lots of fun and made new friends. She has learnt alot and become more independent. She loves all of her teachers and I'm very happy with the support and care her teachers have given her throughout the year. Thank you all 🥰

Aivah had the best time in good shepherd, I loved to see the difference in her from when she started way back in September to now, she has grew so much with the help of all staff, I loved to hear all the stories of all the different activities she does throughout the week, she has had the best time with all her teachers, yous truly are one of the best nursery schools, thankyous for all yous have did for her, I know she's gonna miss yous all when she leaves😢 I will bring her over in September and let her see yous again, thankyous for everything

Good shepherd nursery was my nursery school and alot of my family members also,we have known the teachers years and I was over the moon when sol Patrick got in,alough this wasn't the ideal situation for sol Patrick as he needed a sen placement,I have never been so at ease and happy,as you can imagine the start of the year was a dread and from the moment sol Patrick entered GSNS the staff have been amazing with him,he has came on leaps and bounds in ways I hadn't imagined ,the staff have built a beautiful bond with my son that it makes me emotional thinking about him no longer being there,I'm very grateful for the gsns team and of course Mrs adams who is such a big part of sol Patricks progression. Nothing was to much and the staff were always great at communicating with me regarding sol Patrick. There is to much to say but I'm very grateful my son got the chance to be apart of this nursery year. I wish all the staff a great summer and we'll be back to visit come September ❤️

Well I don't even know were to start with a comment for Good shepherd nursery school, you are all already incredible people doing the job you do and being our little ones carers away from home. The compassion, kindness & care you give to each and every child that comes through your doors is amazing, I witnessed my child skip into school and skip out of school always filling me and her daddy in about her day in class and her friends, the games they played, the things they learned and all the special visitors and visits outside of the nursery they had. You can tell that each and every member of staff truly loves their job and the children they are caring for, special mention has to go to Ms Mcveigh (Freya just absolutely doted on her and I know she was always very kind to Freya & for that I'm very thankful) it makes the day alot easier when you know your child is going into a caring/nurturing environment ❤️ ... Thank-you for a brilliant year and for looking after the baby of our house & getting her ready for her journey into P1. I know she will miss you all.

I wanted to thank you for the incredible support and guidance you have provided Leo this year. Your patience, encouragement, and dedication have made all the difference in Leo's progress and overall development to prepare him for Primary 1. The staff have created such a warm and welcoming learning environment for all the children. Anyone I have spoken to this year has been overwhelmed with all the opportunities the children have been given to express themselves physically and emotionally. Leo has shared countless stories about your class, and we are grateful for the joy and enthusiasm all the staff have given him this year. Thank you Mrs Le Mahieu for being an exceptional teacher and to all the staff for their care and support towards Leo. We are so glad we chose The Good Shepherd Nursery for him. Jenny and Christopher Browning.

Good Morning Mrs Le Mahieu, as requested some feedback on the nursery. In our experience, Good Shepherd nursery is a very warm and loving environment. The staff genuinely care about the children, and are an absolute credit to the nursery. The communication is excellent. We have experience from a different nursery last year, and by comparison, Good Shepherd goes above and beyond in these areas. The range of activities is excellent; the jump jiggle and jive sessions and the visitors to the nursery were a great addition. Elena had a fantastic year and has grown into her own little person, and has really thrived in such a loving environment. We are really grateful to you all for making her first year in education so fantastic and memorable. I doubt that she will forget her experience there. Many thanks, Rachael

Thank yous for all your care and support over the past year and will call back to see yous in September.
