You have all had a crazy year, but through it all, you did what you had to do to stay open, yet still managed to keep the preschool a happy, non-stressful place for all the children. You all deserve a medal and I think you are all simply amazing.

“

My daughter has learned so many skills and been nurtured by each and every one of the staff. I will definitely be returning with my younger daughter soon!

“

A wonderful preschool in the community with lovely, committed staff. My little one loved going and was always full of chat at the end of each session, bursting to tell me about his day. Keep up the good work.

“

We could not have wished for a better preschool for our children and would recommend it to everyone. The staff are all so kind and genuinely love their job and the children. The play opportunities are so fun, yet the children are all so calm and well-behaved. Pirates, you're fantastic, we can't thank you enough!

“

You have all had such an incredible impact on Ava and have really made her ready for ‘Big School.’ We are so incredibly grateful for your efforts, and your constant kindness and attention has never gone unnoticed. We all feel very lucky to be part of the Pirate family.

“

Ella has blossomed because of your outstanding care and input. She has been thoroughly enriched and is now ready for school. We could not be more grateful that we chose Pavilion Pirates, every single one of you are outstanding!

“

Eva has thoroughly enjoyed Pirates. You have made her feel loved and gone above and beyond to give her the best preschool experience. You are all amazing.

“

Sending my ‘baby’ to preschool last September was so scary and you have all made Dexter and I feel so welcome and reassured.

“

All of you are incredible with the children from day one when they first start. You make them feel welcome and loved and just seem to ‘get’ what they are about, what they need and what it takes to make them feel happy and safe.

“

Thank you for being amazing! We have enjoyed being part of the Pirate family and will hold happy memories to take with us on our way to school.

“

As new parents, we felt supported and we have taken valuable advice from the enormous amount of experience you all have. Thank you.
