Parent Survey Results 2011

The annual Casterbridge Parent Survey was carried out in July to enable us to understand from our parents what we are doing well and what we can improve upon.

At Starfish Day Nursery and Preschool 95% of parents were satisfied with the overall experience at the nursery. To summarise the findings, parents love the environment (95% agree), the children are well stimulated (90% agree) and parents are happy with their educational progress. The food we serve is healthy and nutritious (84% agree) and 96% said that the preschool is good preparation for school. Parents said our administration could be worked on we are committed to improving this area.
