“Our daughter has loved going to St Peter’s Anglican pre-school. We have always felt she was well-cared for at here, and the teachers have been wonderful, supportive and flexible whenever we have had family situations to deal with. They have helped make the transition to primary school has been seamless and we are very grateful for 3 years spent at St Peter’s Anglican Preschool. As an added bonus, the van drop off service is a huge help - so convenient and affordable.”

“A great school with Kingdom values that has the most caring staff who have so much love for children. The school has a peaceful atmosphere which I love. My toddler settles in really quickly in the mornings and comes home happy every time. Thank you for all the great work you do in nurturing the little ones who will grow up to be the salt and the light of this world.”

“A year ago, I moved my one and half year old from another pre-school to this one. I was reluctant for the change especially due to post-covid time. But the efficient team at St. Peter's made the transition really smooth. I see that the team takes extra care of children and make them feel safe and settled. The fee is affordable too. I would love to recommend this pre-school to parents who want their children to be in safe and supporting environment.”
