To whom it may concern

I attended two of the stay and play sessions over the summer at Batford nursery and thought they were brilliant.

I have two children, aged 4 and 2, and the sessions were really good value, a great opportunity for the children to play in the summer holidays in a safe environment and the facilities were fantastic. My children loved all the craft activities, playing with the water and sand and just running around with their friends.

Thanks to everyone who organised the sessions. I would definitely attend the sessions again!

Yours faithfully
