"Excellent Education"
We transferred to Anstey from a larger school and it's been a game-changer for our child. The Montessori approach has really helped with their learning and they love the hands-on activities. The teachers are always available to chat and the school's values really shine through in everything they do.

"A Home from Home"
We've been at Anstey First School for 3 years now and it's been an absolute joy. The teachers are kind, patient and truly care about the children. My child loves going to school and can't wait to see what the day brings. The facilities are amazing and the outdoor space is incredible.

"Decent School"
We were at Anstey for a few years and while it was an okay school, I didn't feel like my child was getting the most out of their education. The facilities are nice and the teachers are friendly, but I felt like the school could have done more to support our learning needs. We've since moved to a different school and feel like it's a better fit for us.
