"Mixed Experiences So Far"

We've had some ups and downs with TAB Infant School so far. The teachers are friendly, but we haven't seen the REACH values in action as much as we had hoped. The facilities are great, especially Forest School, but we're still waiting to see more consistency in teaching standards.

"Our Child Loves REACH at TAB!"

My child has settled into TAB Infant School so well, the teachers are lovely and the REACH values are genuinely embedded throughout the school. The Forest School sessions are a highlight of their week and they love showing us the new skills they've learned.

"Exceptional School and Community"

We were thoroughly impressed with TAB Infant School during our child's time there. The school council, TASC Force, is a great initiative and the facilities, including Forest School, are first-rate. We've stayed in touch with the school and continue to be proud of the values they instill in children.

"Great Teachers, Lovely Environment!"

The teachers at TAB Infant School are caring and attentive, and the school feels like a warm and welcoming community. Our child loves going to Forest School and we appreciate the emphasis on emotional literacy. We're grateful for the extra support offered to families, too.
