## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent school with caring staff: Our child started at Heartwood this year and we've been really impressed with the school. The staff are so caring and make sure our child feels safe and happy. We love the emphasis on values like friendship and responsibility, and the facilities are lovely. The only thing that's stopped me giving 5 stars is that the communication from school could be a bit better sometimes. *(Nov 2022)*
- **3/5** — A good start, but still getting used to the rhythm: Our child has just started in the nursery and we're still getting used to the rhythm of the school. The staff are all lovely and seem to really care about the children, but sometimes it feels a bit chaotic and we're not always sure what's happening. We're hoping that as our child gets older, the school will become even more tailored to their needs. For now, we're just trying to get into the swing of things. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Our child thrives at Heartwood!: We have been so happy with Heartwood School. Our child has grown in confidence and made wonderful friends. We love the focus on values like respect and compassion, and the Danish Hygge approach has brought a sense of calm and togetherness to our family. The teachers are kind, approachable and really care about their students. We couldn't ask for more! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful school with a real community: We were so lucky to have our child at Heartwood for a few years. It's a truly special place with a real sense of community. The school's values of compassion and respect really shine through in the way the teachers and staff treat the children. We loved watching our child grow and learn in such a supportive environment. Even though we've moved away, we still keep in touch with the school and feel a part of the community. *(Jun 2021)*
