## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Life changing care for our daughter: We were so impressed with the Therapeutic Parenting approach at Darwin School. Our daughter has thrived in the loving and nurturing environment, and we've seen a significant improvement in her emotional well-being. The Adapt Learning model has also helped her catch up with her peers academically. We can't thank the team enough! *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A home away from home: We've been so impressed with the way the team at Darwin School has welcomed our son into their care. He's settled in quickly and loves the activities on offer. The staff are always available to talk and offer support, and we feel confident that our son is in good hands. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is that the communication could be improved sometimes. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — A lot of potential, but some room for improvement: We've been happy with the care our son has received at Darwin School, but there have been a few instances where we've felt that the communication hasn't been as clear as it could be. The staff are generally very caring and dedicated, but we've noticed that sometimes the facilities can be a bit chaotic. We're hoping that the school will continue to improve and meet our high standards. *(Apr 2021)*
- **5/5** — Pebbles Care exceeded our expectations: We were introduced to Pebbles Care through our social worker, and from the moment our son arrived at the school, we knew it was the right place for him. The staff are incredibly caring and dedicated, and the facilities are top-notch. We've seen our son grow in confidence and make great strides in his education. We're so grateful for the support Pebbles provided during a difficult time. *(Feb 2021)*
