My little girl started here and has been happy and learned through play. She is an incredible reader and loves it. She knows her numbers she knows her letters, she is just thriving and i thank the teachers who care and create such a lovely learning environment. The school is committed to continuous improvement and i am extremely happy with what we have experienced. We have been given information sessions about how to help our children learn the way they are teaching, we have timetables and are always in contact with the teacher. Really happy. Thanks team.
