Review from M B (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dallington is a wonderful school. Our son started in the upper nursery and has thrived in this nurturing environment. He feels he is part of a family here and can be his own authentic self and has made lots of friends. The children are diverse spanning lots of nationalities and this was a huge plus
for us. The teachers are exemplary; they are passionate and encouraging whilst challenging children to fulfil their potential. As parents, we get regular feedback and there’s an open dialogue with parents. The classes are small and so it feels as though kids get a lot of attention to their specific needs. There’s a real spirit of encouraging individuality and independent thinking which resonates with us strongly as parents.

Dallington is unique... both my children love it and have settled in extremely easily and quickly. The school and its community is very welcoming and friendly and has a real family and intimate feel, which is just what I wanted for our children after moving back to London from overseas. The teacher/child
ratio is fantastic, allowing the children to soak up the teaching easily and in a personal way. The children enjoy mixing with the lovely older children which is great for their confidence and social skills. It's a little village school in central London.

My son started at Dallington School ten months ago. He is in the lower nursery. We are extremely happy with the school. My son is very happy, and his confidence has grown. He is excited about learning. The school has a lovely and nurturing atmosphere. Staff are so lovely. Each child is treated as an
individual with their own specific needs and talents. I would recommend Dallington School to any parent who is looking for a school providing high standards of education while making sure children are improving in all aspects of life.

Dallington School is an excellent nursery with a warm, creative, nurturing environment. It has the right mix of discipline, free play and group activities. The staff love working there and it shows in their relationships and works with the children. The important thing is that it's not just a nursery,
but also part of a school with all the ethos that goes along with that. Children also have opportunities to meet kids in other class years, and the older children are very welcoming and big brother/sister like with the younger ones.

That's lovely to hear. Thank you Leora!

Dallington is a wonderful school: open, inclusive and highly supportive of both the children in the school and the parents and carers of those children. They strongly encourage curiosity and build that wonderful and all too rare trait of a genuine love of learning. The nursery in particular has provided
both of my children with a brilliant start to their educational journey, despite their very different personalities and approaches. Both my children truly love school, which says it all!

Review from Megan W (Mother of Child) published on 22 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dallington is one of the few non selective coeducational child led learning schools I have come across in England. It is a warm, creative, open minded and high achieving (without the 'hothouse' type school pressures or concerns) school. Children here are happy, kind, community minded and they get a
superb education - both academically and how to be good people in the world. I think this is a very special and unique place. Not uptight and bureaucratic, yet very well run and professional.

Thank you Megan, for your positivity and of course to your family, for being an integral part of the Dallington Community.

My son loves the time he spends at Dallington. The teachers are friendly, professional and are proactive in his development. Learning is fun, his reading, writing and confidence has improved considerably. We're really pleased that we've chosen Dallington for our son, it's the perfect school for him.

Review from Ben (Father of Child) published on 25 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dallington is a wonderful nursery that understands and thrives in the knowledge that children are individuals that have their own needs and develop at their own different speeds. They encourage diversity and creativity in all that a child can, and wants to do, which is an extremely refreshing and positive
attitude.


Both my sons have had, and continue to have, a wonderful time at Dallington despite their very different requirements and personalities and I would recommend it as a nursery to any parent.


It has given my kids a great start in their educational journey.

Review from Cheryl M (Mother of Child) published on 8 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had always intended for my son to attend a private school. Though the principles of the education were exactly what I wanted for my child, allowing the child to be a child, to grow into who they should be instead of forcing round pegs into square holes and chastising the child for not being square;
there were aspects that I felt were a little cold when I attended open days.
Dallington is the perfect fit, it not only offers the aforementioned education but it offers it in a warm and family like environment. Children grow up together in small classes with low teacher to student ratios. My son has been with Dallington for 6 months and I can already see his confidence has grown. Old students return to help out at fetes and the parents that I have spoken to who have sent their younger children to Dallington speak of an inner happiness and genuine love for education in the older children that attended Dallington. The two things that I want most for my child!

Dallington creates a wonderful nurturing environment for the children. I have had experience with other nurseries and what I particularly like about Dallington is that the staff are experienced individuals who have been with the school for a long time. Every one of them takes an interest in your child
as an individual. Great feedback on progress both on a formal basis but also through the term. I feel that they provided all of my children with a good foundation from which to start their more formal schooling.

Dallington nursery is an extremely supportive environment where children can learn, explore, be creative and develop as individuals with confidence. When you go to pick the kids up it is clear that they are extremely focused in whatever activity they are doing. I think also it encourages curious minds,
which is great.

The teachers at the nursery are great. They are so devoted and love and take care of the kids so much. You could tell they are really interested in the development of the children and are always so proud of them. The teachers are very communicative and keep us updated with everything related to my son
whether in relation to his development, interests, achievements etc... And always praise him. Something that we do appreciate very much.
