"Some mixed feelings"

I'm a bit torn about Garden Fields - on the one hand, the staff are great and my child has made some lovely friends. On the other hand, I've found the communication with the school to be a bit patchy at times. We're happy, but not entirely satisfied.

"Excellent facilities and values"

My child attended Garden Fields from Reception to Year 2 and we were really impressed with the facilities, staff and values. The forest school area and outdoor theatre are fantastic and we loved the daily house points system. Highly recommend!
