What do parents say?
"There are no words that can describe how much you made a difference in the lives of so many pupils. My child will never forget you, and neither will our family."
"We can't thank you enough for all the kindness, care and support you have given to our son. It's made a huge difference to his confidence and he's made some good friendships. His early days were such a worrying time for us when he was anxious about being left in the mornings. Thank you so much for being there for him and helping him to become the happy, more confident boy he is today. I think he will always remember you."

There are additional early/late fees as follows.

The fee includes snacks, drinks and lunch. Regular outings to child friendly groups are also included. Suncream is provided unless a specific brand is required by your child due to allergies.
What do I have to provide?
Parents should provide nappies, baby wipes, nappy bags and formula/breast milk. A drink bottle and change of clothing is also required.
