- **5/5** — Life changing school for my child: My child has been at Poppy Field School for 2 years now, and it has been a complete game changer. The staff are so caring and supportive, and the therapeutic approach has helped my child to develop in ways I never thought possible. I couldn't be more grateful for this school! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Amazing staff and facilities: My child has been at Poppy Field School for a year now, and I'm so impressed with the staff and facilities. The school has a really relaxed and supportive atmosphere, and my child loves going there. The therapy sessions have also been really helpful for my child's mental health. *(May 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed experience: We left Poppy Field School after a year because our child was struggling to settle in. While the staff were always friendly and helpful, we felt that the school was not providing enough structure and routine for our child. However, we did appreciate the therapy sessions and the school's focus on mental health. *(Dec 2021)*
