S.Hallett, St Joseph’s Primary School, 13.1.22
'Lovely focus on manners. Great alliterative names and rhyming throughout. Great idea to have physical part in middle to get wriggles out and engage.'
N. Stringer, Ilfracombe Primary 18.1.22
‘... you got the perfect mix of both calmer moments and lively moments, maintaining the children’s focus and engagement the whole way through. That is the first time most of these children would have sat still for a longer period, so you did a great job to keep them so engaged!
Even the way you interacted and acknowledged our high needs children was delightful and greatly appreciated. You were not distracted by the wriggles and interruptions, and continued to engage with them from outside the hall. They were extremely excited, so thank you. We would certainly love to have you return next year.’

‘I just wanted to send you a HUGE THANK YOU for show you delivered to our children this morning. The experience which you brought to these children was beautiful to observe. They managed the length of time sitting and listening because of how you varied the senses which they used...’
The families were overwhelmed at the quality of the books... spot on for these families many of whom may not even have a hard backed book in their homes. I can not thank you enough, it brought tears to my eyes knowing these families have been given such a wonderful gift.’
