Our Classes

At Cherry Blossom Pre School, we provide high-quality, nurturing early years education tailored to each stage of your child’s development. Our classes are designed to support growth through play, creativity, and care—with age-appropriate activities and staff-to-child ratios that ensure every child feels seen, safe, and supported.

“Children enter happily and greet their friends eagerly. They develop strong relationships with staff. Children receive extensive praise and encouragement. Staff celebrate children’s progress and successfully meet children’s individual learning needs. They plan experiences and activities that allow children to learn new skills and that link to children’s interests.” – OFSTED Inspector
