EYFS Parents' Testimonials
We asked our Reception parents to write testimonials about our early years, particularly their experiences of school since September. We hope you find these useful and reassuring to read.
We are delighted with how easily our daughter has settled into St Leonard's, The school environment, teaching and range of activities have all contributed to her fully enjoying her first year in school and the support and communication from the teaching team on a daily basis has been incredibly reassuring.
Mr and Mrs Toher
St Leonard's has been absolutely fantastic for both of our boys. The support that the children and ourselves have received has been outstanding. Their ability to keep the fun whilst helping them learn is brilliant.
Mrs Hinnigan
I have found my son's transition to school seamless, even through a pandemic! All the school staff have been amazing, especially the daily email from Mrs Harris. It has been so reassuring, always informative of what the children have been doing as-well as what we can do at home (only if we have the time, there’s never any pressure) to support the school learning. The enrichment offered is second to none, they even have woodland activities every week!
Mrs Nestor
My daughter who is currently in Reception and my son who was in Reception last year have both had the most amazing experience; despite the strange times.
I was worried that my daughter wouldn't settle because she had not experienced transition days or had a visit to nursery from Mrs Harris but she settled straight away and loves school.
Mrs Dullenty
St Leonard’s is such a welcoming school! My children settled in perfectly from day one. The staff are very caring!
Mrs O'Connor
I was extremely nervous about my daughter starting in reception as most parents are. I was constantly reassured by Mrs Harris leading up to my daughter starting and this has continued throughout her time in reception. My daughter has settled so much better than I ever expected she would, she has massively grown in confidence and is very happy at school. The staff go above and beyond every single day. I cannot praise them enough.
Miss Thornborough
We really appreciate all the hard work and dedication everyone at St Leonard's puts in to making sure the children have a positive start to their learning journey. We're thrilled with how well our daughter has settled in Blackbirds and most importantly how much she loves to come to school.
