## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home from Home for My Child: Merefield has been an absolute game changer for my child. The staff are incredibly supportive and go above and beyond to meet the needs of each child. The emphasis on respect, fairness and hard work really shines through in the children's behaviour and attitudes. We've felt welcome from the very beginning. *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Experience: While Merefield has its strengths, we've had a bit of a mixed experience. The staff are friendly and the facilities are good, but we've encountered some communication issues at times. I do appreciate the emphasis on independence and self-esteem, though. Hopefully, things will improve as my child settles in. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — A School that Truly Understands: We were blown away by the facilities at Merefield, especially the sensory garden. But it's the values of the school that really stood out to us. The way they support children with complex needs is truly inspiring. Although my child has moved on, I still feel grateful for the experience they had at Merefield. *(Mar 2022)*
