## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Mixed Feelings: We've had a mixed experience with Wolverdene. Some days the staff are fantastic and our child loves going to school, but other days we've had issues with communication and consistency. We're hopeful that things will improve and we'll see more progress from our child. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — A Home Away From Home: My child has been at Wolverdene for a year now and the progress they've made is incredible. The staff are all so dedicated and caring, my child feels safe and supported. The facilities are great too, the nursey group is a highlight for them! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Support for Our Child: Wolverdene has been a game-changer for our child. The residential unit, The Lodge, has been particularly helpful in supporting our child's needs. The staff are all very understanding and work closely with us to ensure our child has the best possible experience. *(Jul 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Special School with a Heart of Gold: We were initially hesitant about sending our child to a special school, but we couldn't be happier with our decision. Wolverdene has a fantastic atmosphere and the staff are all so passionate about helping the children. We've seen our child thrive and make friends with others who understand them. *(Feb 2022)*
