She had some challenging classes today with SEN needs etc, but was amazing at keeping every single child engaged! The children loved it and I am sure it will be an experience to remember!!”

“The children really enjoyed the session and it was something that, as a school, we would not have been able to deliver. Every child left the session with an increased knowledge of Florence Nightingale. We enjoyed the practical nature – bandaging their teddy bears and being able to act out parts of Florence Nightingale’s life.”
