"A Home Away From Home"

My children have been at Tenterfields for 3 years now and it's been an absolute pleasure. The teachers are caring, the facilities are excellent and the values they instill in the children are exactly what we want for our family. We love the 30-hour nursery places and the breakfast and twilight club has been a lifesaver!

"Excellent School, Great Community"

As a parent of a Year 5 child, I've seen my son thrive in every area. The teachers are dedicated, the curriculum is engaging and the school's focus on community and family is exactly what we want for our child. We've also been impressed with the communication from the school and the opportunities they provide for parents to get involved.

"A Good Experience, but Room for Improvement"

We had a good experience with Tenterfields when our child was there, but there were a few areas that we felt could be improved. The teachers were generally good, but sometimes communication from the school was a bit slow. We did love the nursery facilities and the breakfast club, though!
