What people are saying about this workshop:

“On behalf of all of the Year 2 team and the children I would like to thank Lillie for a wonderful morning for our children. They had a super experience. The Florence Nightingale workshop was informative, fun and exceptionally well organised. Lillie’s interaction with the children was exemplary and we look forward to welcoming you back next year for another wonderful workshop. ”

“I just wanted to write an email to say a huge thank you to the very talented actor who came to Ringmer on Wednesday to deliver the Florence Nightingale workshop. All class teachers were blown away by the knowledge, quality and expertise. The children absolutely loved it and have taken away key knowledge”.

“wow! We were absolutely blown away. All four classes thoroughly enjoyed their hour-long workshop and the variety and range as well as the standard of activities Nikita did with our Year 1/2 children was incredible! I can’t believe how much she covered and it kickstarted our Theme, ‘Oh! What a Light!’ off amazingly well. “
