"Generally positive experience"

We were initially hesitant to send our child to Overley Hall, but the staff were so welcoming and reassuring that we felt confident in their ability to support him. While there were some minor issues with communication and a few instances of overcrowding in certain facilities, overall we were pleased with the care and education he received. We're grateful for the progress he made during his time there.
