- **5/5** — A wonderful community!: I'm so grateful to be a part of the Garden Fields community! My child has thrived since starting and the teachers are always approachable and supportive. I love the emphasis on pastoral care and the wide range of enrichment activities. *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — 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. *(Jun 2021)*
- **5/5** — A warm and welcoming school: We've been really impressed with Garden Fields since our child started. The teachers are lovely and the school's emphasis on social and emotional learning is really important to us. The playgrounds are also a great asset! *(Sep 2020)*
- **5/5** — 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! *(Mar 2020)*
