Nursery Schools
What's the difference between nursery and preschool? Preschools usually work around a formal curriculum and trained teachers - making them a little more expensive! Nursery schools are usually a more relaxed learning environment and more flexible enrollment terms. They are also cheaper and vary greatly.
What age is a preschooler? Ages up to 4 is considered preschooler with toddlers are 1 to 3 year old bracket. Basically 4-year-old are not 'toddling' around any more and so are no longer toddlers!
What does preschool mean?
Is Pre K considered preschool?

49-57 Bootham, York YO30 7BU, UK – 01904 623261
As parents we find Bootham School brimming with many qualities, there is a calming atmosphere punctuated with a strong sense of purpose,- forming a perfect baseline to facilitate learning and self confidence. "Adventurous & Liberating" is the School mantra. Our two children have made some wonderful friends and from starting Bootham in year seven, have never looked back. The teaching staff are supportive and motivating. The activities after 1600 hrs add another dimension to the learning and development of children, giving them a taste of things they (and we) would probably never think of in the fast paced world in which we live. Finally, the food is consistently of the highest quality and the children (& us on Saturdays),look forward to every meal !
As a former pupil, I cannot sing their praises high enough. I came from a school (St Olaves) where I was bullied for many years. I was generally miserable and had low self confidence. Bootham brought me out of that shell. The teachers were all lovely, I may not have liked every subject, but i still liked the teachers. The ethos and attitude of staff and pupils quickly formed me into a totally different more caring person. I was much happier, my grades rose and I joined as many after school activities as I could. At my previous school I never wanted to stay longer than I had to. At Bootham I never wanted to leave. School lunches were also amazing, In the 7 years since I left I have tried to keep my home food as varied and healthy as the lunches I got at school. Friends and family love the food I make and I still don't think it is as good as my school food was. I wasn't the only pupil to go to Bootham after being bullied, I think it attracts a lot of kids who are kind and bright but have been stifled through adverse experiences. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is more introverted and wants to develop in a caring and protective environment which still prepares you for the world ahead. My friends and employers have commented on how kind and hard working I am. These are qualities I am certain I formed during my time at Bootham. In the sixth form they give you more freedom and if staff think you are capable they stop spoon feeding information. Deferring to guiding your own research. This was a invaluable skill when it came to university.

Rawcliffe Ln, York YO30 6NP, UK – 01904 655021
As a workplace I can highly recommend the school for its nurturing environment for staff as well as children. It is a very secure, educational environment, the school uses innovative thinking in designing the school day to meet the needs, and challenge children. These themes often purposively carry from classroom to kitchen, outdoors and into excursions. The schools seems to be thoroughly audited & reflective, progressive practice is evident at every level.

We booked a hen party dance lesson and were very impressed. We were able to choose any song we wanted to which was a nice touch. Mel was very professional and built a rapport with the group instantly. We had such a great time and have a video of our dance that the bride can keep. Thank you! Highly recommended.
We went to the York Dance Factory for a hen do activity in September 2016. It was a really fun afternoon with lots of laughs. Mel was a great teacher and choreographed us awesome routine to Single Ladies which had us all strutting around the hall feeling like Beyoncé!!! Thanks again for a lovely day!

I have been attending adult dance classes with Sarah for over a year and found it is great way to keep fit and have fun. Being over 60 years old, having not done ballet since the age of 12, I had some reservations. I need not have worried. Sarah's friendly welcome and patience soon put me at my ease and I now love every minute of every lesson. submit comment 1000 characters left
Sarah teaches both my daughters and I couldn't be happier with the standard of teaching, her professionalism and her kind and patient attitude towards her students. Her dance school is a breath of fresh air compared to others my daughters have tried, they love going to classes! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I was really pleased to have Sarah tutor my daughter in maths – she was approachable and likeable and gave my daughter confidence and helped her approach problems in a different way. She came well prepared and was enthusiastic. I would definitely ask Sarah to help again in the future.
Was extremely pleased with the tutor we had for Kian. He feels she helped him a lot (still waiting on results though). She was very pleasant and always communicated well with us! Would definitely recommend to others . Regards Leanne
