- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings about Parkgate Infants: I have mixed feelings about our experience at Parkgate Infants and Nursery School. While my child enjoyed the nursery and the 'Parkgate Pirates' program, I felt that the school could have done more to engage with parents in our child's learning journey. Communication was sometimes lacking, and I had to chase for updates. However, the staff were generally friendly and supportive. *(Jul 2022)*
