Dear all at Dorking Nursery School - I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you so much for hosting yesterday’s course on sensory play. Everyone, from the lovely lady in the office to the Head who kindly showed us around your amazing setting was so kind and welcoming. I came home buzzing and bored my husband with accounts of the day!
