## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Room for Improvement but a Lovely Atmosphere: We've just started our journey with The Willows and while we love the friendly staff and warm atmosphere, we feel the school could do more to engage with parents in terms of communication and updates. The facilities are good but could be improved. Overall, we're hopeful that the school will continue to grow and improve in the years to come. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Lovely School with a Warm Atmosphere: We have been to The Willows for 2 years now and we couldn't be happier with the school. The teachers are kind and supportive, the facilities are great and the values they teach are fantastic. Our child has grown so much in this school and we feel it's a wonderful community to be a part of. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Education and Care: We moved our child to The Willows 5 years ago and it's been one of the best decisions we've ever made. The school's values of kindness, respect and responsibility really shine through in the way the teachers and staff treat the children. Our child thrived in this school and we credit it with their confidence and academic success. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great School with Plenty of Opportunities: We've been really impressed with The Willows so far. The teachers are enthusiastic and the facilities are excellent. Our child loves attending the nursery sessions on Fridays and we appreciate the school's commitment to teaching the children about the world around them. *(Oct 2021)*
