What schools say
The children absolutely loved the play sessions and the parents were so very happy to be invited in for a stay and play. Many of the kids were disappointed when next Friday came around as they thought you would be coming back! The set up was perfect and you were really kind and understanding of our kids’ needs. SEND Provision visit May 2026
The children absolutely loved the play session – there was so much to explore and the set up was adapted to suit our nursery spaces. The session was inclusive for our toddler and pre-school rooms and it was all that we could have hoped for – opportunities for independent and cooperative play and a whole heap of fun.
