‘We really enjoyed doing your very accessible Nativity 'The Shiniest Star' last term and it went down very well with both children and parents alike. They really thought that the whole way that it was written was so professional and different to the usual format that a lot of Nativities seem to take.’  - ND, Hordle Walhampton School.
