"Excellent Early Years Provision"

The nursery at Sele First School has been a fantastic experience for our little one. The staff are so engaging, and the facilities are top-notch. We love how they incorporate music and movement into their daily activities. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

"Room for Improvement"

We had a mixed experience at Sele First School. The teachers were lovely, but the communication between staff and parents could be better. The facilities are lovely, but sometimes it feels a bit crowded. Overall, it's a decent school, but we've had to move our child to a different school due to personal reasons.
