## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful Experience at The Meadow: We've been at The Meadow for 2 years and I couldn't be happier with the school. My child loves the Forest School program and the staff are always so welcoming and supportive. The facilities are great and the headteacher, Nichola, is always approachable. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Real Community Feel: I was a bit nervous about moving to a new area but The Meadow has really become a second home for us. The school's values of Respect, Care and Learn are reflected in everything they do and the staff are so dedicated to helping the children thrive. My child is happy and confident and I couldn't ask for more. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Great Aspects, Some Room for Improvement: We attended The Meadow for 3 years and had a generally positive experience. The staff were lovely and the facilities were great. However, we did sometimes find the communication to be a bit patchy and the school's approach to homework and testing could be more balanced. Overall, it's a good school and I'd recommend it, but there's definitely room for improvement. *(Jun 2021)*
