End of an Era – a Beautiful Testimonial From a Parent

Jul 18, 2025

We received this beautiful testimonial from a parent that we wanted to share…

End of an era… 

And just like that… my darling Dixie’s nursery days are over. 🥹💖

She started in Raindrops back in April 2023, completely non-verbal — but she settled quickly and truly blossomed into her own little character. 🌸

She loved Raindrops and formed such a beautiful bond with her teacher Marie, and Bev, Lisa, Kerrianne, as well as friendships that will last a lifetime: Ralphy-Lee, Tommy, Eli, and Isabella — such a special little group. 💕

After her 3rd birthday, Dixie moved on to the 3/4-year-old room and joined Star Class. It wasn’t easy at first — she didn’t settle straight away — but within a few weeks, she came right out of her shell. 🌟

Her main teacher was the lovely Kari, who she absolutely adores, and she’s built such strong bonds with the other amazing ladies in the classroom, as well as her classmates.

I can’t express how grateful I am to Ilminster Avenue Nursery — not only for everything they’ve done for Dixie, but also for me and my mum. 💗 This nursery is truly incredible and deserves to be recognised for their love, care, and support.

A huge thank you to all the teachers, to the wonderful SENCO Carolyn (you are such a lovely lady!), and of course to the lovely ladies on reception — always kind and welcoming. 🌈

And last but definitely not least, to the amazing mums I’ve had the pleasure of meeting — I’ve made lifelong friends and will certainly miss seeing you all. But this isn’t goodbye, we’ll definitely stay in touch. 🫶🏼

To everyone at Ilminster Avenue Nursery School who made Dixie’s journey so special — thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ll never know just how much you’ve meant to us. We will miss you all so much. 💔

We want to wish all of Dixie’s classmates the very best in their new schools come September ✨

Now Dixie’s nursery journey has come to an end…

Here’s to big school! 🎒🩷
