Hi everyone! A crazy awesome first day back last week - wonderful to see you all again, and to meet our new families and new tutors. A beautiful day and a fantastic sight seeing so many families spread out on the grass in the sun. It's like a giant picnic at lunchtime when the shines. Bring a picnic blanket / something to sit on and make yourselves comfortable.
First days are always a bit hectic as we find our way around and iron out the challenges :) Next week will be a different vibe as it all settles down.
As always, please contact me if you have any questions or feedback, on 0272209949 - Rae
