I was a little sceptical at first because the actual school building looks like it needs a little tlc, but I soon came to see that was not what is important.\nMy daughter has come on so much since starting there and particularly loves their Spanish lessons that is with a teacher who is from Spain.\nMy son loves the pre school and has grown up so much and gained lots of confidence since starting. They have both made lots of new friends and have settled in very nicely.\nThe peacocks after school club has been amazing. They really take good care of the children and my children feel so comfortable with all the members of staff. So much so that if I pick them up early they tell me off! They serve them loads of freshly prepared hot and cold food for their tea and play lots of games, my daughter loves the bingo. So happy I moved them. Best decision ever.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I moved my children here from another local school mainly because of their wrap around childcare facilities.
