"Wonderful Experience at Dunster First School"
I've been so impressed with the way the school has fostered a love of learning in my child. The Forest School program is a highlight for them, and the emphasis on kindness and empathy is something we value highly at home. The staff are friendly and responsive, and I love the sense of community in the village. We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful school.

"Nurturing Environment for Young Minds"
We've been thoroughly enjoying our time at Dunster First School. The school's commitment to sustainability and the environment is inspiring, and my child loves participating in the after-school clubs. The staff are supportive and go above and beyond to ensure each child feels valued and included. We're grateful for this haven of learning in our village.

"Mixed Feelings about Dunster First School"
Our experience at Dunster First School was mixed. We appreciated the school's emphasis on social and emotional well-being, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. However, we found the school's communication with parents could be improved, and our child sometimes felt a bit overwhelmed by the large class sizes. We're grateful for the opportunities our child had while attending, but we're not sure we'd choose to send our next child here.
