On top of the school fees there is transport which is arranged with a local bus company and very expensive. Despite paying for an annual 'season' ticket, there are only two buses back in the afternoon and, more often than not, we then had to drive to Wisbech to pick up our daughter from after-school club.

First Class Preschool, is by experiance, one of the best pre schools in the newmarket area…read more After moving premises a few years ago, the pre school is now situated on the school grounds of Houldsworth Valley, and they now have a large outdoor play area instead of having to use the Upper School Field. Waiting lists can be long, so it best to get your child on there early. They offer full days, and half days at reasonable prices, and have numerous activities that encourage children to learn through play. There are pleantly of staff around, and the children very often get plenty of one on one time with staff members. Snacks are provided every session, always healthy, usually fruit. A progress book is kept up to date of everything the children do, and it is sent home at the end of every term for parents to see the progress too. A very very good pre school :)

Known for many years as Newmarket Upper School, the school has recently had a major face lift, and…read morea name change to match. It is now Known as Newmarket College, and they have tied the school in with the new and improved leisure centre and the school has open access to most of the new fascilities. Its not a huge school, but it is big enough to accomadate its pupils comfortably. The school is split into 3 parts, the main building is where the majority of lessons take place, and there are seperate buildings for the technology depratments, and the drama halls. The school has lots of grounds, including the massive playing fileds at the back of the school. There is a small car park to the front, too. I attended this school for about a year and a half, and having attended a few this was by far my favourite school. The teachers were easy to relate to and lessons were well taught, and the fascilities at hand to students were fantastic.

The College doesn't require an entrance fee for looking around, and it is truly a beautiful little College. It is also home to the Pepys Library, where Samuel Pepys' diaries are kept. Additionally, Magdalene has the longest river frontage out of any College in Cambridge, making it an excellent spot from which to enjoy the river. If you are thinking of hosting a formal meal in a Cambridge College, Magdalene has to be one of the best - its 16th Century Candlelit hall makes an impressive setting for a formal dinner, and the food served is delicious.

I headed here with my 7 and 3 year olds to track down Pepys' diaries in the library. Signposting was poor, and the library itself was... well, very much a library in the old fashioned sense, and neither welcoming to younger children or particularly engaging. The books are certainly impressive, but little thought seems to have been put into engaging younger learners with the context or content - particularly of the diaries themselves. Come on Magdalene - do something to help us parents who are trying to teach our our kids about our heritage at first hand and without a keyboard!
