It is with huge gratitude my we boy finished up at richmond preschool today. From the beginning we went in he was barely verbal at 3.5 Stacey and the Team supported me and my boy through so many things above and beyond just child educators. many conversation and strategies around my sons development and complete support throughout all the changes and stages. Sometime even just being an ear for a lonely overwhelmed solo mum. I love the way my son bonded with all his teachers Stacey Rachel Maree sam and kate each and everyone of them imparted something special. miss Rachel with the healthy foods and gardening was one of my boys favorites. Never once has my boy not come home happy and hes not always the easiest hes full throttle and they took it all in their stride supporting me with the ministry of education and with my sons progress and supported us through all if his transitions. Thank you Stacey and the Team for all your effort and support Lisa Evison April 2026

Our young man has just finished 1.5 years with this pre school and has loved every day of it. During this time our little one has grown from a shy wee boy into a confident young man who will start a conversation with strangers and educate them on tractors, sea plans or any other topic he see's worthy of sharing. Yes, part of this is just a person growing up but another part comes from constant interaction with caring people who ask detailed questions and make him think. As a parent, trusting people with my most precious child isn't always easy but this team did an outstanding job. From distracting him when mum and dad have to leave through to making sure his toilet training went well, meals were eaten and he was emotionally and physically safe. Richmond Preschool is a great place.for little people to start out in this world. Thank you team, your efforts will not be forgotten. Tim

We chose Richmond Preschool simply because our little fella felt right at home on our first visit ever! He was quite shy and reserved at first but by the time he started school this year he has become quite a confident chatterbox young man! Thanks to the amazing team who have been awesome! Its been fantastic watching the growth in our boy over the 1.5yrs of being with the pre school! No regrets!!

Amazing preschool with caring nurturing teachers. My daughter loves going here and always talks about all the fun things they are doing and learning about. I always feel incredibly welcome and part of the family. Highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a great friendly and safe environment for your child.

From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and confident that our son would be in good hands. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, patient, and dedicated—not only to each child’s learning but to their emotional well-being too. Our son blossomed during his time here. He gained confidence, made great friends, and learned so much through creative play, structured activities, and a curriculum that truly fosters a love of learning. The communication with parents was consistent and thoughtful, and we always felt involved and informed. Most importantly, our son looked forward to going to preschool every single day. That, to us, speaks volumes. We’re so grateful to have found such a positive and enriching environment for his early education. Highly recommend!
