## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school with caring staff: My child has been at Pickhill for a year now and I've noticed a huge improvement in her confidence and love for learning. The staff are always willing to listen and support us, whether it's about our child's progress or just a general concern. The after-school clubs are also a great way for children to explore new interests and make friends. I'm so grateful to be part of this community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the school: My child has been at Pickhill for two years now and while I've seen some positive changes, I still have some concerns. The school's focus on outdoor learning is great, but sometimes the weather can be a challenge. The staff are generally friendly, but I've noticed that some teachers can be a bit disorganized at times. Overall, I think Pickhill has potential, but it needs to work on a few areas to meet my expectations. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent pre-school experience: My son attended Pickhill pre-school for two years and it was an amazing experience for him. The staff were kind, patient, and dedicated to providing a safe and engaging environment for the children. The outdoor play area is well-maintained and allows children to explore and learn about nature. I was impressed by the school's values and commitment to providing a well-rounded education. *(Jun 2021)*
