## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A mixed bag, but generally positive: We've had some ups and downs with Strive, but the staff are generally supportive and understanding. The small class sizes are a definite plus, and our child has made some good friends. However, we've experienced some communication breakdowns and would like to see more consistency in the daily routines. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Strive has transformed our son's life: We couldn't be more grateful for Strive's support and care. The staff are understanding and patient, and the 1-1 interventions have helped our son manage his anxiety. We've seen a massive improvement in his confidence and social skills. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Life-changing experience for our daughter: Strive helped our daughter overcome her SEMH challenges and thrive in an environment that felt safe and supportive. The flexible curriculum and wrap-around care were tailor-made to her needs. We're so proud of the person she's become. *(Mar 2021)*
