FEEDBACK for NURTURING LUNCHTIMES
‘I wanted to say thank you as it was a fabulous webinar that you hosted - I already run a very similar programme at school, so joined in the hope that it may give me some fresh ideas. We have a number of children that our current programme doesn't work for (despite them being put forward by their teachers on numerous occasions!) but I think this smaller group with more specific outcomes approach may help them’
