"A great start to my child's education"
My child started Berkley First School in September and I've been really impressed with the welcoming atmosphere and the high level of care they receive. The teachers are all very supportive and enthusiastic, and the school's focus on social-emotional learning is really valuable. I love the regular updates from the teachers and the opportunities for parents to get involved.

I've been so impressed with Berkley First School since my child started in Reception. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the facilities are excellent. The values of kindness, respect and responsibility are clearly evident throughout the school. I highly recommend Berkley to any parent considering a primary school for their child.

"A great school with a lovely community"
My children attended Berkley First School a few years ago, and we were always happy with the care and education they received. The school has a strong sense of community, and the events and activities they organised were always well-attended and enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that I felt the school could have been more helpful with SEND support, but overall we were very pleased with our experience.
