"Great School, but Some Room for Improvement"

We moved our child to a different school this year, but we were really happy with South Stanley Infant and Nursery School while we were there. The school day is very well-structured and the teachers are great at keeping parents informed. However, we did find the playground to be a bit small sometimes.
