## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Happy and Supportive Environment: We were a bit worried about our child settling into a new school, but Chard Prep has been a revelation. The teachers are kind and nurturing, and the children seem to genuinely enjoy learning. We love the emphasis on empathy, courage, and respect for others - it's exactly what we want for our child. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Chard Prep: A Home Away from Home: My daughter has thrived at Chard Prep since starting in Reception. The staff are caring, dedicated, and truly listen to the children. The facilities are excellent, especially the art studio and science lab. We feel so lucky to be part of the Chard Prep community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings About Chard Prep: We had a mixed experience at Chard Prep. Our child enjoyed the sports facilities and the weekly swimming lessons, but we felt that the pastoral care could be more consistent. The values of the school are certainly admirable, but we didn't always see them put into practice. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not exceptional. *(Mar 2022)*
