"Some Great Aspects, But Room for Improvement"

We've been pleased with some aspects of Treetops, like the focus on mental health and the Zones of Regulation programme. However, we've experienced some difficulties with communication and felt that our child's needs weren't being fully met at times. We hope the school will continue to work on these areas.

"Helpful Transition for Our Child"

Treetops helped our child transition from primary to secondary school with ease. The staff really worked with us to understand our child's needs and provided a safe and supportive environment for them to thrive. We're grateful for the experience and appreciate the relationships we built with the teachers.
