Proud Parent....

Yesterday we received the following feedback from a parent whose child came to St Mary's Nursery from October 2013 - August 2017.

"I have been to my child's parents evening last night, they say that she's fantastic and her and another little girl are in a separate phonics group because they are way above everybody else. The teacher said that her reading and writing are fab and it's what she chooses to do a lot of the time. She thinks that the way she is progressing at the moment there is no reason why she shouldn't be exceeding in if not all areas the majority of areas by the end of the foundation stage. She said it is rare to find an all rounder. I cannot express how proud I am of the little girl she is, St Mary's has 100% contributed to this so wanted to say a massive thank you to all you guys. Please could you pass that on to everyone at St Mary's"
