Has anyone got personal experience of this school? I'm considering it for DS for when he reaches 4+. Just got the prospectus and planning to go and visit. I'm really curious about the model - with wrap around/holiday care all included. Sounds a bit too-good-to-be-true (esp as the price seems to be the same / less than other local prep schools where you'd have to pay for wrap-around/holiday care on top). How does it work in practice? Do the children not get fed up of being there the whole time? I'm concerned our DCs might feel a bit abandoned - but in reality we'd have to have some other wrap-around childcare if they go to another local school, so the hours they'd be in others' care wouldn't be much different. If it is such a great system (and it sounds it, to me as a full-time working mum) why are there not more schools like this around?
Have to say that the prospectus is poor - almost unintelligible letter from the principal, littered with grammatical errors, and it doesn't really do a good job of explaining why it's such a great school. However, I'm prepared (I think) to disregard that if I get a good feel on a look round and if people with experience have good things to say. It certainly seems to get kids into good schools, so presumably the teaching is actually very good.
