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 enrolment terms. They are also cheaper and vary greatly.

What age is a preschooler? Ages up to 4 is considered preschooler with toddlers are 1 - 3 year old bracket. Basically 4-year-old are not 'toddling' around any more and so are no longer toddlers!

Great nursery and highly recommended. Its the best nurseries in the slough area, clean environment. My daughter started the nursery when she 14 months and shes loves it and is very sad leave to start school. The staff are really welcoming and show great care. I feel confident leaving my daughter at the nursery knowing she is in good hands. I would definitely recommend the Cherry Trees nursery! Great staff and management.

Highly recommended nursery with professionally trained staff. Feel reassured and comfortable with leaving my son in a clean homely environment within the care of a diverse team. Have seen superb development and change in my son over the last 14months. He is learning at incredible pace and looks forward to his sessions. Looking forward to sending my second son within the next couple of months too.

Best Stoke Poges Secondary Schools -

Khalsa Secondary Academy

Pioneer House, Hollybush Hill, Stoke Poges SL2 4QP, UK – 01753 662009

I am truly annoyed by the comments I have seen. I have stumbled across this and as a parent of two children at the school, under two different headteachers, my experience could not be any different. The school has moved on massively. The work the teachers and the senior team are doing is commendable. My youngest daughter left her school to come to Khalsa Academy as she was really bullied in her last school. She couldn't be happier at the school. The school is not perfect and there have been long term illnesses amongst teachers but this has been dealt with. What school doesn't have issues with teachers? The head actually engages with parents. She is visible and my child sees the head all the time, in and out of lessons. I have met her once and the actual issue was dealt with swiftly. My older child says that the school has changed and improved for the better. Low level disruption is dealt with and the students are rewarded for good conduct much more now than ever before. I am more than happy with the standard of education, the way things are dealt with and where the school is heading. The new facilities will really help as well.

Fantastic school with amazing education! Khalsa Secondary Academy has a wide range of enrichment activities that are really fun such as horse riding, archery and karate. The staff are really nice and welcoming and the school building is really beautiful as well. There is a REALLY big car park in Khalsa so that is really good. All teachers are really polite and nice. Khalsa Secondary academy is located in a really beautiful place with a lot of greenery. The science facilities are AMAZING as they have great equipment and labs. The classrooms are really big and spacious so it is easy for the children to walk around. The Gurdwara is really beautiful and the school atmosphere is peaceful with the presence of the Guru Ji. The food is really healthy and delicious so that is excellent for the students. All children are polite and the children in years 10 to 11 are always helpful to the children in years 7 to 8. There is nothing bad I can say about Khalsa Secondary Academy! It is the best school ever! Also it is rated 'Good' by Ofsted and that is excellent! Khalsa Secondary Academy is known as the best non-selective secondary school in Slough according to the Progress 8 measure. It is the best secondary school in Bucks according to the Progress 8 measure as well. KSA is in fact surpassing grammar schools in Buckingamshire! I would rate this school a 10 out of 5 but there is no option for 10 stars. Khalsa Secondary Academy is the best secondary school!

Beechwood Secondary School

Long Readings Ln, Slough SL2 1QE, UK – 01753 520473

Wish I could give 5000 stars best school ever!!!!! First off this school is very misunderstood granted this school wasn’t the best but they’ve definetly improved! The teachers are very are supportive and they want you to succeed and the facilities might just be the best in the country, the smartest people here are getting over 10 A*! They have a pool in the school many schools could only dream about having facilities like Beechwoods and there’s also a lot of cultural diversity here Polish, Arab and even Australian this school has it all!! (I know all this because I recently moved to this school and I already love it)

I realized that school has very difficult circumstances, without any learning outside the school then I would failed. In normal school, teachers are giving over 50% information, in Beechwood there are giving barely about 15% information for lower sets. Another thing is that they are allocate students in set 6 to set 1 (UK education system). People in set six are repeating they are ''dumb'' over and over again, in that case there is very low possibility them to improve, they constantly are keeping destructing because of the people around them that are saying they are never going to succeed. However I like Beechwood despite the fact that apparently it is the worst school in the UK, but if people that are going to see your GCSE paper and notice that actually you have passed it very well, regardless on how difficult situation you were at Beechwood, it could be language barrier as well. I am writing that because I've been in the lowest set without knowing any English at all. Unconsciously I was coming to this school with a smile on my face, cut know it is conscious :)

Cippenham Primary School

Elmshott Ln, Cippenham, Slough SL1 5RB, UK – 01628 604665

I have a son in Year 3 at Cippenham Primary who moved at the beginning of Year 2. Ever since he started at CPS he has really flourished and now loves every day of school. A great staff and a wonderful learning environment.

I have one child currently at this school and one who was at the school and moved to secondary school last year. This school recognises the strengths and weakness of all the children and does it best to develop the children to the best of their abilities. If I have ever had a problem I find the teachers and the leadership team very approachable and I always feel listened too. I believe the school has the best interests of the children and offer extra curriculum activities to enhance the learning environment.

Thames Valley Community Centre, The Green, Slough SL1 2SP, UK – 01753 318318

I have been attending STC in Slough for a few weeks now. I have never felt confident and comfortable learning in other tuitions. I've never been fond of English and always got nervous or upset when looking at a blank piece of paper. The teachers have made me feel comfortable and gave me so much confidence when writing. Now for once in my life I can say I enjoy English. I feel happy walking in. I'm greeted lovely and I respect my teachers because they have helped so much that no one else has been able to before. I came in with feeling upset because my maths was not supposed to be where its supposed to be already I have found myself loving maths again and understanding everything I have learnt from my lesson. I am able to go home and complete my homework feeling happy about it. Apart from our teachers helping me with my Maths and English they also gave me confidence on getting a job. I am always looking forward to my lessons, feeling happy going in and laughing coming out.

STC an excellent tuition centre with a very friendly workforce. The standards of teaching are high and the teachers are very organised. They give feedback after every teaching session so it is easy to track your child's progress.
