- **5/5** — 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. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — 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. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — 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. *(Sep 2021)*
