"Good and Bad Experiences"

We had a mixed experience at Abbeywood First School. The teachers were generally good, but we had some issues with communication and organization. On the other hand, the school's values and ethos were a real strength and our child benefited from them. Overall, we would recommend the school, but with some caveats.
