## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wensley Fold - Our Home Away from Home: We've been at Wensley Fold for 3 years now, and I couldn't be happier with the school. The staff are all so supportive and caring, and the values they're teaching the children are amazing. We love the 'Make Each Day Count' ethos and the way the school focuses on individuality and self-worth. Our daughter is thriving and can't wait to go to school each day. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Wonderful Community: My son has only been at Wensley Fold for a year, but we've already seen him grow so much as a person. The school's focus on compassion, respect, and trust is really evident in everything they do, and I love the way they celebrate individuality and differences. The facilities are great too - the playground is fantastic and the classrooms are well-equipped. We're so grateful to be a part of this community. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Experience: We had our child at Wensley Fold for 5 years, and while we had some great experiences with the school, there were also some issues with communication and consistency. The staff were often lovely, but sometimes it felt like they were understaffed and overwhelmed. That being said, the school's values and ethos are really lovely, and we appreciated the way they supported our child's individual needs. We're grateful for the experiences they had while they were there. *(Mar 2020)*
