Allowing children to be creative, and interacting with others is the best way for children to learn. Also making a little mess always help to make it fun.
At Pixie Lane we are lucky to have our own fairy. Her name is Pixie, she was name by our students and comes in during the night and raids our fridge.
Petting days are a great way to educate children, also gets us involved with the local community. We also have our own Rabbit named Thumper that all the kids love!
"My daughter Eilidh has been at Pixie Lane since they opened, it's a fantastic environment for children, I knew it would be even before it was opened with Marie in charge. I was so excited when I heard that Marie Hannon was opening Pixie Lane as she had taught my daughter previously, she is incredibly kind hearted and always has time for children and parents. The staff are so good to the children, Eilidh always comes out with a smile on her face so much so that she doesn't want to leave when I go to pick her up. It truly a lovely place to send your children, everything has been so well designed. The little details are just fantastic. All the activity days that they have is just a fantastic way to teach and inspire children. I'm so grateful to Marie and the staff of Pixie Lane."
"My daughter Aimee has just finished her preschool year at Pixie Lane. Like many others I chose Pixie Lane before the building was even complete. I was apprehensive at first but I couldn't have made a better decision. The kindness and care shown to my daughter by Marie and all the staff were second to none. Aimee has extra needs so I had more questions and requests than others and not once did I feel that Aimee was a burden, quite the opposite. No request was too great, no question unanswered. I couldn't recommend Pixie Lane highly enough. "
"We have being absolutely delighted with Pixie Lane since our daughter Robyn joined 7 months ago. We also have our older daughter Keevsgh attend Pixie Lane during school holidays. The staff are so professional, caring & kind & go way above & beyond their duties to ensure that each child is well looked after in a safe fun environment. You would be forgiven in thinking that your children are the only ones being cared for such is the level of care and interest that is shown to each child. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pixie Lane & Marie to other parents. My girls absolutely love going there it's honestly like home away from home & it's down to fantastic management & staff plus top of the range facilities. The garden is every child's dream . Thank you Pixie Lane Marian & Jamie Barry very happy parents :)"
