"Some Good, Some Room for Improvement"

We've had a mixed experience with Chances Educational Support Services. On the one hand, our child has benefited from the school's focus on creativity and imagination, and the staff have been supportive in helping them catch up on their studies. However, we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and provide regular updates on our child's progress.

"A Positive Experience Despite Initial Concerns"

When our child first started at Chances, we were worried about the transition from their mainstream school. However, the staff at Chances were brilliant in supporting our child and helping them settle in. We've been pleased with the progress they've made and the opportunities they've had to develop new skills. The school's facilities are also top-notch.
