We are always delighted when parents tell us how much they love Hamble Village Playschool and these kind words mean so much to everyone involved. 

The summer term is always a bitter sweet time for the staff at the pre-school ... whilst we’re delighted to be sending happy, independent little people off to the next adventure in life, we are always so sad to see them go! Here are some comments from past Leaver’s Cards (we have respectfully removed the children’s names from the quotes below):


  • Thank you for helping me grow. I have loved playschool.
  • Many thanks again. It has all been good. Keep up the good work Julie and all your staff. You will have my number 3 coming very soon – now you will have to deal with a girl! Many thanks.
  • Thank you for all your help over the last year. Thank you for helping me grow to be ready for big school. I will miss you all.
  • I would like to thank you a for the amazing job you guys have done with my son. It is heart warming to see just how much you all have helped him learn and grow. I cannot thank you all enough for helping both him and myself with his Autism and the steps taken to help him adjust and cope. I know we will all miss you guys.
  • Thank you for all your hard work over the last two years and for making [our daughter’s] time with you special.
  • Thank you SO much for looking after my 3 children. It is definitely the end of a chapter for us. You’ve been so kind, so patient and so tolerant with our lateness and you always smile. It is such a happy setting and I’m so grateful to you all. Our children loved their time here and we wish you all a very happy summer and a well deserved break.
  • Thank you for everything you have done for me. I have loved coming to playschool and have grown so much over the last few years, with help and encouragement from my teachers. Big school is looking very exciting and you have all helped me so much.
  • Thank you for all your time with our daughter. She has loved her time with you all!
  • Thank you for everything you have done these past couple of years. It is going to be strange not coming to playschool after doing it for so long. They grow up too quick.
  • Wow! I cannot believe we are writing this card already. Thank you so much for being so amazing at what you do. Our son has settled into playschool so well, he loves coming to see you all everyday. You have made his time at playschool such a lovely experience for him. Now he is ready to take his next step into his new big adventure at big school and we have a lot to thank you all for that for getting him ready for it. We will miss coming to playschool and seeing you all and the lovely things you do. Julie, we would like to say a massive thank you to you for all the love, care and hard work you have put in and shown over the past years with both our boys. We will miss you. You have all done a wonderful job and we hope you have a lovely summer.
