I enjoyed seeing a variety of resources and looking at your laminated photos for inspiration. It finally hit me today that 'The real thing is best'. My mind was a blank canvas this morning, now it's a 'Monet' of ideas, Can't wait to get started! You're a fab team. Thank you! (Fiona Waddell, Plains P.S. North Lanikshire)

A very enjoyable and fun day with lots of learning taking place. Great ideas to take away and use with our children to develop their thinking skills and build on their learning. Excellent tutor!(Renfrewshire)

Really enjoyed the whole day, it would be great if all nursery schools were situated in parks, but there you go. Lots of ideas for a great outdoor area soon, can't wait to get den building.

Fab day, can't say any more than that!

Excellent ideas, can't wait to try den building and fairy folk on Monday.

Fabulous course! Very inspiring would love reinforcement so that this approach could be ingrained in how we work.

Just what I needed - hands on activities rather than being told theories. Main challenge was my imagination, I'm not naturally arty or able to think ouside box!

Enjoyed all the workshops. Generated team work. Stimulated my thinking. Guttering was a challenge. Would like you to do a staff workshop.

I have never seen umbrellas used in such a fun way. Excellent.

Brilliant session. Will be weaving along nursery fence and trees etc next week. Thank you.

Very therapeutic. Would be excellent for autistic spectrum/withdrawn children and all other children

Loved the tent.....wanted to stay and play!

I loved all the sparkly/diff resources. Was a bit lost at 1st thinking what to do but then after a while I turned into a creative artist!

I want to come back and do it again!

Super - really discovered my creative inner self!

Memories are made of this....community games, all ages included - NO adults' organising
