Feedback

“I would recommend the project to all settings. It has really increased the range of talking amongst the children. The children who are quiet in class really had the chance to open up. It not only enables the child to speak but also boosts their confidence, vocabulary and emotionally helps them to express themselves. In fact it contributes to their overall development ” Stanhope Primary 2009

“The week has been a fantastic experience for me, the staff but most importantly the children. I feel we have learnt more about the children in this week than in some cases the last 3 years” Centre Manager Hartlepool Little People Nursery 2007

“ I am amazed at how much evidence I have for the children's profiles and it is of the very best kind – independent, child led.” Stanhope Primary 2009
