Staff at St Mary’s feel like family. It is obvious how much they care and really know every single child. My little girl was quite anxious about starting preschool. Staff went over and above to help her settle … It was obvious they knew her and really cared about her wellbeing and happiness. As a parent, this was hugely comforting to know that she was so well cared for.
