Lauren Stoneman-Jones recommends Layer Preschool

Every single member of staff at the preschool are amazing. They have so much energy and I love how they make every child feel so special and loved. We certainly feel this way about our daughter, Fleur.
Since the minute she joined, she has enjoyed every minute. She has grown in confidence, her hand writing and other fine skills have improved greatly and she continues to develop every session. A wonderful pre school that is at the heart and soul of the community.
The only thing we would change would be to have enrolled her sooner! Thank you so much x
