## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Lovely First Impressions: We've only just started at Dunston, but we're so pleased with the warm welcome we've received. The nursery staff are kind and engaging and our child is loving the play-based learning. We're excited to see how they develop over the next few years. *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Dunston is a Gem!: I was a bit worried about moving our child to a new school, but Dunston has been a game-changer. The teachers are so supportive and the facilities are top-notch. We love the 'Be the Best You Can Be' ethos and our child is growing in confidence every day. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: We left Dunston a few years ago, but the memories are still fond. While the school has a great reputation and a lovely atmosphere, we did find the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit patchy at times. Overall, a good school, but could do with a bit more organisation. *(Sep 2020)*
