SW Area Setting February 2020: I have spoken to the staff and the feedback is really positive. They said that the children were really engaged and listened well, even the ones that are usually a little bit more reluctant. The props were a great success, especially the caterpillar, making the stories even more engaging. The children did talk about the books after the session, especially the older children who wanted to continue reading and also draw pictures from the story.

Central Area Setting January 2020: The session was great. Fantastic interaction from you towards the children and encouragement for the children to join in. The children loved the different books.

Bluebells Nursery February 2020: Bluebells children really enjoyed story time, the readers where so engaging with the children as well as enthusiastic. Some of our children who are EAL where really engaged as the props used helped them to understand the stories better, even if they didn't understand the words. Bluebells is really greatful to have been given this opportunity!
