My son is 20 months old and I would love a setting with more children his age

Yes

My child is in Year 1 and her little brother is at nursery elsewhere. We have filled and handed in his forms to begin at 3 but would have preferred if he could be at the same school and get comfortable with the environment at a young age rather than now having to start new again

Yes

Thinking about my daughter turning two, there are no nurseries in the area that I would feel comfortable sending my daughter to. However, I would feel comfortable sending her to Overdale, after knowing my other two children have been happy there for the last four years.

Yes

I think that it would be beneficial to the local families and more option to people living in the area.
