## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: My daughter loves Watling View School! The teachers are so kind and patient, and the facilities are amazing - I love that they have a sensory room and a cafe where the children can learn social skills. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — The Best Decision We Ever Made: We transferred our son to Watling View last year and it has been a game-changer. The school's values of 'be kind, be responsible, be the best you can' really shine through in everything they do, and the staff are always available to support us. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Experience: I have mixed feelings about Watling View. My son had a great time with his friends, but I felt that the communication between the school and parents was sometimes lacking. However, the school's commitment to preparing children for adulthood is evident, and I appreciated the support they provided during the transition. *(Jun 2020)*
